Legacy Armada Optimus Prime
The original Armada Optimus Prime was one of my favorite toys growing up. He was my first ever Optimus Prime figure and my first Transformer with a super mode. I friggin loved it. The fact that not only did Optimus's trailer transform into a battle station and he could combine with it to form a super mode but also the fact that the friggin trailer automatically transformed when you transformed Optimus himself? Genuinely, the coolest shit ever to my six year old self.
But, alas, I lost that figure long ago. I don't know how the Hell I lost a toy that was as big and chunky as him but I did. Genuinely I somehow misplaced and lost the entire trailer in a van when I was a kid. I have literally zero idea how considering a van is not that big and it should have been easy to find, but it was just gone.
But now I have the Legacy version of him and he's just as cool to my adult self as his original toy was to my child self.
Do I think it'd be cool if he somehow still had the whole auto-transforming trailer gimmick? I mean yeah but also I'd take 'not being a brick' over 'the trailer auto-transforms' and that's what I got here. So it's cool.
