Jolt and who else?
So I got Chase from Amazon and he's nice overall but has one major issue-the shoulders do NOT lock in place vertically which makes posing his arms in any fashion a pain.
Whisper. He came with SG Sideswipe in the Hot Rod/Sidswipe pack. So, they do have the mold ready for Armada Wheeljack and Wind Sheer. When they get around to it.
I am blaming the near total lack of Mini-Cons in Legacy entirely on all of you who didn't buy the Micromasters in Siege and Earthrise.
This is all your fault.

Forgot about that HR/SS set.
BBTS just sent me the pre-order processing notice for tasmania kid...
But, ah... but still waiting for rumble, frenzy and snarl... which were supposed to drop last month.

Siege Micromasters were hamstrung in so many ways that undercut them. You can’t blame us for that failure.
I bought every Micromaster that got released for those lines. I wish that we were getting more.
And as for the first wave of United, Pulse is supposed to be getting the first batch for me in soon. Maybe not before Christmas, but maybe just in time for my birthday.
I bought one version of each mold but skipped the repaints. They weren’t bad but far from good enough to warrant rebuys.
Admittedly, the only ones I have are whoever came in the Botropolis set.
I have those four, plus Countdown (who came with Omega Supreme), Lunar-Tread (came with Guardian Robot), and the HasLab-exclusive Rescue Patrol Team that came with Victory Saber and Deathsaurus.
If we're also counting Cassettes, then I also have the Ravage and Laserbeak that came with Netflix Soundwave, and the Generations Selects 4-pack of Knok, Skar, Frenzy, and Wingthing.
I mean I bought a handful of Micromasters, but outside of articulation, its hard to argue they were better than the originals. Mine always had pieces pop off and they were findly.
Micromasters were some of my favorites back in the day, but I also wasnt feeling rebuying a bunch of little dudes i already had versions of.
They should just rerelease original minicons in new colors. Or make new ones from the ground up. Or, i guess i (we?) Could use the ones we already or scour ebay.

I bought a fair bit of the ones that were released in recent years and I like them all. I will agree that limbs popping off is/was certainly an issue with some of mine. Not enough to affect my overall enjoyment, but an issue nonetheless.
I just wish that Minicons could have been included with the Armada "partners" that were supposed to have them, pricetags be damned. I would have been willing to pay a bit more for said figures, even if they merely pegged on and did not unlock special features. I just like little bots a lot!

I've had this problem since the old Legends pricepoint. I want to love the little bots, but the tolerances are never quite right.
And my payment have cleared for the United stuff I preordered on Hasbro Pulse. And bringing things back to Mini-Cons and Micromasters, I've gotten shipping notice for the SG Rodimus and Sideswipe set. Yay!
The Micros that come with Deathsaurus are much better than the Siege Micros.Siege Micromasters were hamstrung in so many ways that undercut them. You can’t blame us for that failure.
I'm all for more like them....Mini-Cons as well.
Quoted for emphasis.
How many of the original molds even still exist, though? Takara used the hell out of them.
I forgot all about Windblade - I need to keep an eye out for her. (Or shop online.)
