Better quality images of Henkei Hot Road and Dinobot (prototypes)

bugger, its taking ages to get a transformers micron legends hot shot in sealed box and then this appears. i know its not the same fig, but damn!. its kinda anoying their redoing or retooling the armada characters into a more modern transformation. im slightly mixed about this, their redoing my favourite transformers series armada, and making the figures better, which i wanted when i was younger. but they are retooling them as said, making them btter. but meself knowing their not real armadas. but if this is how hot shot comes out i wonder if the did something like a red alert retool into ratchet?, the same name which he had as his jap name. hence hot shot's name was hot rod. tidalwave as shockwave. i hope my theory is right so that i may be able to have some of the rarest transformers armada figures in a better quality and not have to open my japanesse armada figures. ow that was a mouthful, blech. would also mean that the possible armada japanesse with their very nice box arts may go down in value or as some people become more aware of the they go up?
im so confused i dont know what im gonna do!

question: why redo armada hot shot? it looks cool and all i might get it but why re-do him? but on the other hand dinobot looks cool.

YEs! I love Armada Hot Shot! This = win.

Armada had some nice characters but real loathing toy design. It's actually kinda cool to see one of the new guys the series introduced receive a proper looking toy.

Besides. MINICON WITH ARTICULATION! What more could you want? ;p

Dinobot is ugly, I hope at least the beast mode looks better.

Hotshot and Jolt are wonderful.

*dreaming for a more articulated Armada Megatron*

How would this be a proper celebration of 25 years if they didn’t? I’m absolutely loving this. Getting fixes for the crappiest toys throughout all of Transformers history…

A redesigned Armada line might actually get me to take another look at the toys...

gotta say Hot shot looks prety good dino bot is cool too cept for the sword.

The first pic looks good. Dinotbot...no comment.

He was designed to have really large lens like eyes. The original toy, did not quite get that. The comic version shows them better, so I guess they made the eyes slightly bigger for this version.

I would love a more articulated Leader Optimus Prime. I can do without the self transforming trailer if he at least has thigh and knee joints in super mode.

Still I'm liking this mold. I wonder if they'll do an Armada Decepticon. I'd like a Starscream with a little more articulation.
