Because back when those toys came out, Hasbro was run by different people, who preferred to use their own westernized names instead of those that were used in Japan.

oooohhhh... titan class tidal wave... Despite really not having the space for another titan, I would get that.
That Broadside repaint doesn’t count.
Also, that broadside doesn’t count. That’s a figure that screams to done right.
I'll be honest, $100 is tempting; but the fact I'll need an upgrade kit and also that I'd have to find some place to put him is a bit of a downer.
Still, having the four colony world leaders would be cool.

Tarn. I’m 50/50 on him. Awesome character. Toy execution eh. I could see a potential for a heavy remold into Armada Scavenger though. For me it’s the legs and the gold knee caps that don’t fold or slide down or anything. Just kind of there. The tank has lots of options for weapons mounting though.
Leo Prime is about everything I hoped this toy could be. I never got the Beast Wars figure back in the day and he was always just outside of my price range on aftermarket. Glad this guy finally got a good version of him released.
Twincast. The figure a lot of us have wanted after every Blaster release. As much as I wanted TR Blaster to be repainted, I’m glad they saved it for this. Now if only his cassettes could get the love that Soundwave’s get.
Metalhawk. I was super excited for this dude. I love the amount of effort that Hasbro did to get the remold of this based off of the bot mode. But he just feels and looks plane in person. That gold chest just seems meh. And it’s pretty on for screen accurate. I was slightly disappointed once I opened him. Glad I got him though.

I was thinking of giving him the Energon Star Saber (yellow remolds)
I see what you did there.
This is what I've thought since pics first surfaced. That huge expanse of gold plastic seemed kind of dull, but I'd hoped something was being lost to the camera. Oh well, Reprolabels will probably come up with something.
More pictures are out of Armada Prime. It’s like, my wallet says no, my brain says “wait for repaint”…but I’ll be dipped if it doesn’t look gorgeous.

Worth noting the image source did some minor updating by adding red to the super mode eyes and the gold to the small bot toes.

TFW's users seem to have been enjoying our continued coverage of the recently-revealed Legacy Evolution Commander Armada Optimus Prime figure, so we thought it'd be nice to highlight yet another photo gallery to start off the weekend, this one courtesy of TFW board member Phamduc. This gallery...
