I wonder if that wasn’t “the plan” at one point. The leaked listings for 2025 reportedly feature a Voyager iteration of Armada Red Alert. So, maybe, Hasbro had done up Cannonball/red Alert as an option until they decided to do a full Voyager for him?

Then again, we’ve gotten BOTH an “Armada Universe” AND “Cybertron Universe” Starscream, despite them being, fundamentally, the same character and universe. Though, in that case, the two designs were FAR more different than Armada and Cybertron Red Alert were.
I think Armada Voyager and Cybertron Deluxe versions are very realistic posibilities, just spread out over a year or 2.

Been away from my computer so I'm late to the party.
Ferak I really like. I think there's enough difference from Cyclonus to make it feel more like a different character.
Lockdown isn't ideal, but it's what I expected and I'm definitely gonna buy it as I love the character. Would still prefer to have the RotF version as my "G1 Adjacent" Lockdown, but he goes for coo-koo krazy money on Ebay.
Filch is very nice. Not super familiar with the character, but I like the look of the toy a lot.
Cannonball I'm torn on. It's not a bad looking toy, but I'm not sure it's better in any way than the Cannonball I already have.

What's wrong with it though? It looks like a Lockdown, doesn't it?

I'll agree that it's at best a "pretty ok" Lockdown. An ideal Lockdown would be tall and lithe. Like the original, a deluxe that unfolds into a surprisingly tall robot. But this mold was always pretty clearly made to serve as a base for a future Lockdown, so I'm not surprised in the slightest.

I mostly just wish he had a longer neck. When I think Animated Lockdown, that long spiked neck is part him. This looks more like Cyberverse Lockdown without it.

Cannonball looks pretty good to me, I never got the original or the Botcon figure so I'll make an attempt at getting him.

Happy to see new(ish) characters getting toys, this is Filch's first full on transforming toy after only getting a Tiny Titan after 9 years.

These are all great. As a hopefully easily accessible Lockdown this Lockdown is pretty cool. Lockdown deserves to be a character pushed forward. Canonball too.

What should surprise no one, a leaked sample of United Animated Prime featuring a face plate has surfaced.

I'm still banking on some sort of exclusive, probably a Jetwing Optimus Prime

Jetwing Optimus would be fun. When I purged my collection a few years ago and got rid of most of my animated, that was the Optimus I kept.

I’m liking this line a lot.

Cannonball looks good. Not great, but he hits all the piratical spots.
Filch looks good. Lot of remolding to make her distinctive.
Lockdown I like a lot more than I thought I would. Yeah he’s not lean, mean Animated/ROTFLockdown. But as a retail, he works a beefy, brutal merc.
Ferak I really like. Mostly because the Cyclonus mold is so good! The retooling is neat too.

I feel Cannonball is missing something by not having the whole-ass skeleton on the sides of the vehicle mode and the giant skull on his roof.

I mean I'll still get him because Cannonball is awesome but it's just you know.

Maybe this represents a younger, less experienced Cannonball who just took the name.
