I voted 'other' because there was not a 'no' option :P

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

But... you're a TFan? You have to buy at least one of them :tfgrin

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I bought at least one mold from the cybertron line. does that count?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

IMO Cybertron is the next best toy line after Alternators. For around 6 bucks you can get a very detailed and poseable action figure that also involves intelligent and skill to manipulate. What one figure from Cybertron did you get?

Ah No you don't!

Armada was horrible.......the worst line since G2.

That is the only line where I didn't buy squat and I had hoped to never see any of it again.

these retools were a waist of time where they could have released cool deluxes like crosswise and downshift instead.

Well, it's not like they decided to release the Armada retools and not release the newer deluxes (Crosswise/Downshift like you mentioned). We're gonna get those a little later, and I have no problems waiting for them.

I also personally think that a large portion of Armada's mold were horrible, which is why I never picked any of them up. But these retools are amazing homages, and that in itself made the 4 of them worth picking up, IMO... (Ok, Runamuck a bit less than the other 3, because of the Sideswipe mold...)

Yes i want all of them, but getting them depends only if I can find them at this point. Right now I'm hoping I can at least get caught up on the voyagers like Mudflap, and Evac. :tfmad

Armada wasn't the greatest line ever but for what it was i even find now it was worth the time and money to collect. Figures like Starscream or any of the seekers for that matter, Tidlewave, and Unicron are must haves IMO. Even the bricktackular Optimus Prime stands up better than his Energon counterpart. Also though not a must have Scavenger rocked. :thumb

I feel very sorry for you (as a TFan) if you didn't get around to buying Tidal Wave, bendy Prime, Nemesis Prime, any of the Seekers, Unicron, Jetfire, Overload, even Red alert. Each of those figures are great. Not to mention the minicons...

January 2, 200620 yr

I bought them all :clap

Not only are they a great way to handle a re-colours but it's the first time Has/tak has realeased a 'cevilian class' !

If you have watched the show ether Cybertron or Galaxy Force you'll see what I mean,

This is the first time I know of where the Bio's are a load of BULL!, After all BUZZSAW narrated the Speedia races and he did not like cheaters :tflaugh

January 2, 200620 yr

I'm a completist. I buy them all. Having said that, the only one that I didn't care for is Buzzsaw since I dislike the A-Cyclonus mold.

How could I miss Jetfire, and red alert. :tard I got nearly the whole line and these two were amongst my favorites. Red alert was terribly underated IMO. He had a good alt mode that fit his character, bot mode was decent with plenty of aticulation and proper proportions, and he had some of the best gimicks out of all the armada bots. Jetfire was also a good buy and one i grabbed on the spot because after that I never saw him again. The fact that he provides Optimus Prime with another set of pants is hardly the only reason to grab this one. Personally I hated the way jetfire/prime looked. I bought him because he has an outstanding alt mode, decent bot mode with some of the best arm articulation in the line and has a one of the coolest most unique minicons.

I really feel sorry for those of you who missed these two along with Overload. Most of the deluxes sucked but the larger class TFs more than made up for that. :thumb
