Armada fans are rare in the fandom. Armada is generally agreed to be a low point in Transformers fiction.
The toys, however, were fun to play with. Personally, the only figure from Armada that I consider to be a failure is Sideswipe. His car mode is great, but his robot mode is a turd they didn't even bother trying to polish.

I only like Armada for three reasons:
1. The Mini-cons
2. The return of Starscream
3. This line gave Transformer fans a Unicron figure

I would go as far as to say it had it's good points. In the end, however, the show befell a curse I dubbed after Robots in Disguise came out. "Everything past RID (for a while) has been RIP."
The minicons were a great idea, I think, and in the game they were handled wonderfully. The show, however, treated them like pokemon . . . gotta catch them all. None seemed to have any specific abilities except a power boost, and of course the Requiem Blaster, Skyboom Shield, and Star Saber teams. Had they continued on that . . . and not had the Minicons speak 'beep', I would love the show a lot more.

Agreed. If the show had been handled more like the comics, it would have been a lot better. Linkage was an awesome read.

They've redone Armada Demolisher for Cybertron. I got to say his colors are pretty impressive, and his planet Key actually has a peg so it can act as a Mini-con.

I like Armada for the designs and the toys were cool. The mincon thing was an ok story. The art was great.

they're resurrecting Supercon Prime with a Powerlinx port-compatible key as well. My only issue is, with the inclusion of the keys they're ditching the minicon partners completely. With Prime it's no big loss, but Demolishor's minicon actually was a really well-integrated partner, without whom features of Demolishor are neglected.
I've heard rumors that Demolishor and Prime's Minicons will show up as a VS two-pack, but whether that's based on actual info or just wishful thinking I can't tell. I have Bendy Prime already, but I don't have Demolishor. I want the linx-port Key, but I don't want another Prime, and I want Demolishor but I don't want him without his minicon. If this fabled two-pack shows up I'll pick up it and Demolishor, and give the extra Over-Run to my Prime so he can dual wield.
