THS-01

Hi.

I couldn't help but notice that the Hybrid Style THS-01 Galaxy Comvoy is missing from this list - any particulr reason why this is so?

(I have that figure, though not with me in Canada - but I'm not sure if I have enough details to do an entry for it myself...)--Nerroth 17:56, 6 May 2009 (EDT)

I added an entry for THS-01 - but does anyone have a stock photo, or other suitable image, which can be used to illustrate it? --Nerroth 12:39, 2 March 2010 (EST)

(Armada) Optimus prime GPS problem?

Can it be that the original super base version of 'prime suffers from this? I picked one up from a garage sale, and moments later, the smaller Optimus Prime figure's arm just BROKE without stressmarks and there was a little dust falling off.(good that i only payed 10 euros, but still...)--Sunjumper 14:51, 6 September 2009 (EDT)

I've had my 'Prime for several years and just a couple days ago, the left arm for the normal mode broke off after I noticed it was not as "stiff" as the other wrist. It looks like a GPS fracture, 'cause picking at the piece attached to Prime's arm, a small piece chipped off. Good thing the only other gold plastic on the figure is the button on top of the cab and the super mode's "exhaust pipe" things on the sides of the head. All the other gold is just paint. I just hope superglue can at least temporarily help Prime keep it together. 75.163.226.233 03:48, 20 March 2010 (EDT)

Wing Convoy PVC

I've got a Wing Convoy PVC, Takara, 2004. Is there any other info on this guy?Hida Atarasi 23:24, 21 October 2009 (EDT)

There should be. I guess nobody ever got around to adding info on the Armada PVCs. I know Hot Shot and Sideways have them, considering who worked on the pages (;P). Feel free to add info if you have any. --Detour 23:26, 21 October 2009 (EDT)

Optimus Prime and Overload (Multi-pack, 2005)

I just noticed that the picture of the combined mode with Overload also is combined with Jetfire. Was he also included?--Sunjumper 16:54, 28 March 2010 (EDT)

He was not. That probably means we need a different picture. --152.15.24.58 15:14, 31 March 2010 (EDT)

Hasbro stock photos are craptacular. I just grabbed that about 2 years ago and hoped it would work. --FFN 17:04, 31 March 2010 (EDT)

Armada Super-Con lacks Matrix?

Thought i remembered it having one (sculpted, non-removable), but the article says not. 70.17.201.185 01:37, 2 December 2011 (EST)

That's only in the larger, Super-Base version. The smaller, "Deluxe" Prime does not. --ItsWalky 01:44, 2 December 2011 (EST)

Sound Convoy?

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=C3599P0014&mode=vintage (and Google Cache, in case) What is this thing? Item42 06:13, 17 April 2012 (EDT)

Siege

I've seen online that there's a Cybertron Optimus Prime toy coming out in the Siege toyline. Shouldn't that toy be added to Unicron Triology Optimus' toy page when we get more information?--CyclonustheWarrior (talk) 03:07, 8 February 2019 (EST)

It's a leak, we don't add stuff until it's oficially confirmed. AkibaSilver (talk) 09:12, 8 February 2019 (EST)

Yeah, I did say added when we get more information.--CyclonustheWarrior (talk) 09:44, 8 February 2019 (EST)

We've got info now... why is it still listed as G1? The caption even says it's not Cybertron Optimus and it only has a one-sentence bio? Shouldn't the G1 page be lighter with a link to the Cybertron one? Since when does Generations automatically equal G1? User:Planned_Planethood

Siege has a unified play pattern, is otherwise composed of distinctly G1 characters, and is being used as the basis for several of the designs in the new IDW G1 relaunch. Also, the central Optimus figure is designed to look like G1 Optimus. --Khajidha (talk) 18:46, 15 April 2019 (EDT)

Shouldn't this situation be treated the same way as Thrilling 30 Armada Starscream? He's considered to be the Armada character and was repurposed as G1 by IDW. It looks like the same thing here, for me at least, specially if the new IDW continuity doesn't feature the toy's Super Mode and uses only the basic robot mode (and I would still think this way if it does end up using the Super Mode anyway). I understand Siege has a more unified G1-theme, but it's still Generations and can follow the same rule of "exceptions" for different continuity incarnations. I vote for Optimus (Armada) being the main article and (G1) being the denoted as repurposed.--Fritz (talk) 20:13, 15 April 2019 (EDT)

Siege, unlike T30, has a unified story that places this Optimus in the same universe as all the very G1 guys. --Riptide (talk) 20:50, 15 April 2019 (EDT)

Yeah, Siege purposefully has a unifying story theme to its design ethos. Thrilling 30 did not. They're different sublines with different rules. --ItsWalky (talk) 21:34, 15 April 2019 (EDT)

Fire hazard?

I discovered from watching reviewer baltmatrix's YouTube review of the first Armada Prime toy (the Super Base one) that it has the capacity to start fires, and actually set his bedroom on fire at one point. Should I add this arguably vital detail under that toy? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dingdongdude (talk • contribs){{#if:| {{{2}}}|}}.

Absolutely not. Baltmatrix all but made up that story, and it's a lie that's been reported as true for years. Escargon (talk) 09:06, 9 February 2021 (EST)

OK, thank you. I did not know that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dingdongdude (talk • contribs){{#if:| {{{2}}}|}}.

Sound gimmick

Can somebody who owns the Super Base Armada Prime toy write down and/or record the sound it makes? I've read it seems very similar to "energy more". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dingdongdude (talk • contribs){{#if:| {{{2}}}|}}.

If you just want to hear the sounds for yourself, there's no end of videos on YouTube demonstrating it. But the sounds it makes are mostly the grinding of plastic gears before the electronics makes a whir, thud whenever it changes modes. --King Starscream (talk) 09:54, 22 February 2023 (EST)

Commander Class Armada Prime???

I've noticed that the upcoming Commander Class Legacy Evolution Armada Prime is mentioned nowhere on this site. Is there a particular reason for that or have people just forgotten to put it there? DancouMaryuu (talk) 13:14, 25 March 2023 (EDT)

It still hasn't been officially unveiled yet. We only know about it right now from stolen leaks that we do not condone or support and therefore cannot cover on this wiki. --Sabrblade (talk) 14:40, 25 March 2023 (EDT)

Got it. Thanks for letting me know! DancouMaryuu (talk) 23:24, 25 March 2023 (EDT)

What's this?

I think I saw on Twitter that the legacy toy had the ability to change the box to match the Japanese release of the original toy... I dunno how though.Poliwag06 (talk) 18:33, 24 November 2023 (EST)
