Yeah, I had 'Bendy' Prime but not the Super version, so no real nostalgia for me, but damn if that toy isn't looking too good to pass on.
I hope whoever designed this got to do Megatron as well, and any other Armada updates they do after that. He's found his calling in life.
Man, now I wish Commander Ultra Magnus would turn out to be Micron Legend Ultra Magnus.
Unlikely because the upcoming Commander class is said to be apart of Studio series, Ultra Magnus was never in Micron Legend/Armada, thou I can see Hasbro doing a repaint of this into the PowerLynx form and if they remake Overload, he'll likely get a repaint and be given the name Ultra Magnus
Oh yeah, when my son was younger the Armada toys were my Go-To to let him play with some of my stuff. They're way less fragile than most things since and though they're less articulated they are solid and simple in a way that makes for better kid play.
-ZacWilliam, a portion of adult fandom would go into toxic shock but for kids Transformers would not be ill served if it were feasible to bring back Armada era design
The transparent plastic on the Star Saber and Sideswipe of all people hasn't held up for me.
My Armada Op had his arm just spilt in two, right on the elbow joint (basic robot mode) which bugs me to this day, thou I still have him, I haven't really been attempted to play with him as much, Jetfire is still fine, no problems, its whatever they made the eblow joint out of, is the problem on my copy!
My Armada Jetfire (top 5 fav toy for me) had a wing break at the joint. Ive looked and seen replacements on ebay. Thought about just getting an all "new" one vs just the part.
And I want that Energon Ultra Magnus. I didnt realize it was a limited release when it came out. I called all around stores looking for a Scorponok when Energon released. Nobody said they had him at the time, but I never even thought to ask about Magnus.

I have one. Never had Overload.
It was my only Ultra Magnus with a trailer until Combiner Wars, and is still my favorite.

Ill trade you my Overload for him. lol
I never even knew Energon Ultra Magnus was a thing growing up.
