>>9918026God it takes me back, the packaging using thick plastic wires that are wrapped behind and have thin black plastics to keep the cables from damaging the box. The memories, at least the toy itself still holds up even 19 years later and so. One of the few Armada toys with pretty good articulation, just no way for the legs to spread out further than what it can in pic related.
Another thing is until last year I did not know that weapons from the Energon line had Minicon ports themselves, apparently as a way to bridge the gimmick of Armada as well as the new gimmick Energon introduced which was 5mm port weapons. Huh, very similar to what Siege has done, speaking of there's Siege Red Alert next to him for comparison. I think I know which Red Alert is the best in the end.
Also we can add Legends Broadside to the list of casualty of the yellow epidemic.
