I see it was announced by Hasbro recentlyish, is this for the western version - has there been a Jap version airing??

Is it Japanese produced & a sequel to Armada??

I hope they get rid of the moral crapo this time, at least Unicron is looking badass

From what I hear, it takes place 10 years after Armada. There are minicons, but they don't unlock hidden powers. They only make the guys stronger. From what I hear, they plan to make the Autobots few in number, so they have to combine to survive.

It is still Japanese produced... but hasnt aired yet in Japan (show might not be completed at this time).

There will be more control from hasbro to avoid the problems that occured with armada.

After doing some reading on the other forums on this site and from other TF webpages.. it looks like the Autobots will be out numbered.... as always.

so 10yrs after armada huh? what they need to do is turn Armada Issue #14 into a Cartoon EP.. i really liked the idea of the Parellel Worlds..

Actually, Hasbro has always kept the ranks of both factions as close to even as possible. This'll be the first time that they are truly outnumbered, and that's an exciting change because that means that they might lose sometimes.

OK, then it's been done once before, which is far from always. I haven't seen Beast Machines yet.

optimus primal, black arachnia, rattrap, and cheetor (to begin with) vs. megatron, tankor, jetstorm, thrust, and an army of drones.

let the slaughter begin!

But toy wise they were pretty evenly matched. That is unless you're going to buy a large ammount of drones.

I wonder if they'll be out numbered in the toys?
