Armada Sideswipe obviously
I've been hoping Jetfire would happen ever since someone pointing out that you can pop the little badge-chunk off of supermode Prime's chest to expose a port that would be ideal for mounting Jet Prime's chest shield. Likely more just a basic 5mm/siege port they put there in case they did get a chance to do Jetfire, but I'm hoping in the back of my mind that it was sneakily planned all along if it ever happens.
I also read that for a Nemesis Prime repaint, so the mould didn't have a moulded Autobot emblem directly on it.
If they make an Overload, I hope it gets an Energon Ultra Magnus redeco.
It's weird that there hasn't been a hint of Jetfire and Overload yet. If Armada Prime had been a flop, I get it. But he wasn't.
Might depend on just how interested they are in making expensive add-ons to an already expensive figure. Even with the second run, it still takes time for new designs to get through the production pipeline.
And wasn't there a leak hinting at Jetfire, at least? I seem to remember one, but I could be wrong.

Probably scheduling more than anything. They’d decided on the 13 so they have to squeeze 13 toys into the line even before considering that Nexus is actually 5 toys who probably also bring Superion and Bruticus as baggage. They’d probably also be Leader at least, meaning even less release slots
We're not getting all of the Thirteen if the leak list is to be believed
I know this is a joke, but Armada Sideswipe is one of those figures I wouldn't mind them taking a second go at. The car mode is fine, if it wasn't trying to shoehorn a pair of gimmicks in, I think a decent robot mode could be squeezed out that still evokes the original.
An Armada Sideswipe that wasn't a sad disaster would feel wrong
What about a Universe Treadshot or Oil Slick that wasn't a sad disaster? Should they have had to suffer for Side Swipe's shortcomings?
Universe Treadshot is just such an interesting figure. An awful mould, an alternate mode that has a certain 80s vibe, his own name and faction just written across him. The Deception symbol just sitting in an Autobot insignia outline.What about a Universe Treadshot or Oil Slick that wasn't a sad disaster? Should they have had to suffer for Side Swipe's shortcomings?
Beautiful. Post-modern art in toy form.
I don't think we ever found out how Beast Machines Bruticus was supposed to work. It was supposed to have a Spark gimmick at some point, and it's otherwise pretty clearly an unfinished design.
I know a lot of figures never make it past concept stages (some were on War for Cybertron packaging art!), but it's rare for something to get that far and then stop.
Or at least released *anyway* after being abandoned.
I thought on one of the videos where they showed off Armada Prime they hinted at something coming?
I'm guessing they are saving them for later on as reveals, the question is, what class will they be, leader or voyager?
We're not getting all 13 in 2025. We got one this year, and we're apparently getting seven next year. So there are only five left. Or nine, if Nexus is released as separate combiner team members. It would be shocking if they aren't planned for 2026, or maybe 2027 at the latest.
Wasn't the infamous Legacy Point-blank mold thought to be a pre-mold of an upcoming Legacy Armada Blur? The lack of arm/shoulder movement might suggest so?
The walmart Star Raiders are starting to trickle in around my area, and I can confirm the Deluxes are evenly packed- 2 of each.
Granted, it pretty obvious with only 4 figures, but I can't have been the only one to think hasbro would have put in 3 Lockdowns and short Filch.

Yes! I would welcome a new take on Armada Scavenger! The treads on mine are pretty much disintegrating.
So long as he keeps his Megaman-ish proportions.
