Armada is probably the first time TFs experimented on leaning hard on different character archetype designs between the toylines and animation. Like Hoist being the short, dwarflike guy with an older looking face, Cyclonus being kinda dumpy looking compared to how sleek and handsome Starscream is. We'd sort of get things like this before, like Bumblebee being a small guy in G1 or Rhinox being a big guy in BW, but they weren't designed particularly different. Armada basically starts the design path that'd lead into the TF Heroes concept that was reworked into Animated
