>>11646697People remembering armada is good are remembering Starscreams death and everything that happens once the actual unicron fight starts.
The final Optimus/Galvatron fight stands as one of the best fights in all of transformers fiction.
>>11646722Honestly I wish Sideways was treated better across the franchise since his introduction. He's the literal mouthpiece of Unicron, and was capable of twisting everything around him to perfectly line up in time for his masters arrival. Had Galvatron not suicided against Optimus he would have succeeded, even if he himself was already dead.
His nature as a living being is also super interesting, is he the bike? Is he Rook and Crosswise? Is he Mirror? Is he Unicron himself? Is he posessed by Unicron? If the bike is alive, but not Sideways, are the heads controlling the bike? If he is the bike why, when he gets absolutely fucking annihilated by the Requiem Blaster does Mirror start gloating with Sideways's voice?
He really should be Unicrons hand among the cast in more media, the idea that there is a character playing both sides in service to the greater threat of Unicron is fantastic. The concept of a hybrid of the armada and G1 situation where he manipulates Megatron into being forced into Unicrons services as his herald all the while continuing to infiltrate the Autobots is too good. Especially so if he IS actually Unicron in the body of a cybertronian.
Also the abandoned unicron cell version really should be used as a true form of him once the schrade doesn't need to be maintained anymore.
