Reviews

[Leonardo · Rating 4 out of 5]

Aside from the rushed ending, this is the series at its finest. World’s Collide is an excellent arc, providing a through-line to Armada of the greater Transformer heritage up to that point. Sadly, Unicron gets merc’d before he can even transform. Galvatron seemed like a greater threat than his master. Ah well. Can’t compete with editorial mandates.

Love the mix of the Armada reality against the Generation 1 reality.

[James Bowman · Rating 3 out of 5]

A fairly abrupt wrap-up to the comic-book version of Armada, but fun for its time, with the crossover cameos of various G1 characters. (B+)
