Armada figure updates you'd like to see in Universe

Acronyms and abbreviations are fun. That, or these lines don't deserve quite enough respect for full names.
Robots In Disguise, Armada, Energon, Cybertron - there, that's their names, happy now???

I like that mold, though I prefer the Rapid Run figure it was later recolored into.

I liked the mold so much I fixed it, if you recall. Gave him knees and working, show-accurate elbows. I still have him out, actually, perched atop my bookshelf. And I'd totally second a new version, Sideways was always one of the coolest ideas to come out of Armada.

I'd say I wanted a new Smokescreen, but if they did make one, I probably wouldn't find it as inexplicably charming as the original, given how Hot Shot apparently turned out.

KICKER KICKER GET IN TFU KICKER!!

25th Anniversary GI Joe Kicker FTW.

I don't yet have Hot Shot but I can't imagine he's as bad as they say.

People spend so much time worrying about whether a figure is "mint" or not that they never stop to consider other flavours.

Hotshot is worse. Piece of utter doody.


I can actually get behind a 25A style Kicker. Maybe use a Fred Crimson Guard Head? What to do about the body and helmet?

Show me this thing (yojoe's turning up nothing, not that I'm an expert at navigating that site) and we shall see.
