When I first got into collecting Armada Thundercracker was the first figure I bought. I later found out that on the show, this toy was just Starscream's powered up mode. When I heard Takara was going to release the new Generations Armada Starscream in it's powered up color scheme, I had to have it. This is the same mold as the Generations version, right down to the pressure launchers. If you're a fan of the series, or have a connection to the original toy, pick this up.

Totally agree. It also leaves the figure in a perpetual state of badassness. Like with Prime, Grimlock and Onslaught.
And for me, it makes them more robotic. Faceplates for the win!

I'm usually all for faceplates, but somehow the Hasbro heads just look off...
Depending on when these will be out, I'll probably end up going the Takara route, which may even end up being cheaper anyways

I hope the Takara Galvatron and Blaster won't have the gimmick.
