Well it’s technically “G1ified” by losing both the Minicon and the gimmick, although the UT still holds a lot of G1 design concepts so it’s not as hard to make in a G1 style (see the last Armada Starscream)
I mean the Unicron trilogy series had a "closer-to-home" artstyle compared to Animated, Bayformers, and Prime, so there's not much to change to make the Unicron trilogy's designs "look like G1".
@@genyakozlov1316 And that's the key difference. Their artstyle were not outlandishly different to G1, while both Animated and Prime are definitely way too different artstyle wise.
@@Megamanlanprime Just cause it doesn't have the Minicon gimmick doesn't mean it's G1ified. Many of the other series in the franchise don't have minicon gimmicks, does that mean they are G1ified? No. They probably didn't add ports since kids don't have minicons. So they can use the micro/targetmasters on the inverted ports.
It's about damn time Hasbro gives the Unicron Trilogy characters some proper attention again. The Siege series dropped the ball not having Optimus go into his Galaxy Upgrade as a super mode!
the funniest thing about the "show accurate cannons on his back" is that the lifted look is accurate to the anime till you get to the scene where megatron stabs him with the star sabre and hes laying flat on the floor...how is he laying that flatly with that big of a backpack? Maybe after all the cannons being bent back is the more accurate version, dont you think?
Pretty sure the backpack and cannons "randomly moved" in the anime. Like sometimes it was definitely down and flat, but other times it's like they remebered its "supposed to be" straight back? It's weird
PLEASE make more reviews!! all of your vids truly are really good and i’m very glad to stumble across your channel! also just a lil advice for the size comparisons, do it with them standing up to get a better scaling reference!
the cape of ss96 starscream can go on the figure, you just need to pull up the thrusters and clip the redbit down on his back, and then youll find a 5mm port on the back
I still don't get why they gave us dinky little sword accessories when they couldve EASILY given us the foldable wing blades. That was legitimately iconic.
I agree that he should have came with Minicons (Armada Swindle, Runway, Jetstorm, and Sonar), though Hasbro would probably charge leader price for it. Another complaint I have is that Armada Starscream used his wings as swords and this just has a sort of wing shaped sword included with it. I don’t think it’s the designer’s fault because it seems like a budget decision rather than a creative one.
Mechanical Skull Studio made their own version of Armada Starscream and it blows the official figure out of the water at a fraction of the price it even has the foldable wing sword as one of the options
I still prefer the old version with minicon, wing sword, and sund effects, also larger and more anime accurate in details, though I have to admit this version has improved movements for poses due to better connection parts. I hope they re-do the 2002 version Armada Starscream with a bit improvements on connection parts for better action movements like this one. That will be perfect.

I prefer to keep the jets up on mine, so it looks more like the original figure. Also, the red part that would normally be sticking out on the OG can fold and tab onto his back to lock them in place.
my copy had comically loose hips, so I had to fix his ass. So far all legacy voyager class have been banging. And it should be ilegal to leave his cannons on the back, IT LOOKS SO WRONG
When I had it, I had a problem on its foot where you have to put the back piece into the front piece and whenever I would do it. It would stop working. So my dad had to cut off a piece of it.
Probably going to catch hell from this comment but was not a big fan of the Armada line sorry I'm first Gen. But as always an awesome and fun review just one thing every time I see this video I get an urge to blaze up. It's the damnedest thing huh. Keep up the awesomeness. (So hungry)
