Picked him up at BotCon E in October.
My first toy of the Armada line so a lot of my opinions were going to be formed by him. Have to say i'm not disspointed. Its a radical departue from the BW/BM style of toys as well as the Japenese CR/RID line too.
Tank Mode: Very nice, could have been very plain but they';ve at least tried to make it into a playset. The Mini-con prison is cool yet i can't fit Leader 1 in there. Hes the only one i have so im not sure if others will but it does seem too small. The other tank play features are novel but a little pointless. Theres ample space for loads of minicons to be plugged onto him. Lights and sound are good, as are the hidden missles.
Robot Mode: Nice speech when he tranforms to robot mode, not the actors voice but ok. Nice are articulation, legs could have been better as there is no reason a extra joint couldnt have been added (other than cost of course). I like thge hidden blade in the left hand the minicon activates, its the sort of thing i was hoping for from this line.
Leader 1: Arms are a bit weak as they are fixed bent at the elbows. Other minicons seem to have more articluation. Has a nice (if basic) vehicle mode and the 'targetmaster' gun mode is a lot of fun and gives you somewhere else to put him in robot mode.
Over all im verry impressed and will definitly get more topys from this line. Demolisher and Starscream are high on my list for sure.

That is unfortunately true, not to mention his legs are basically statues, but he looks awesome! And I just got Jetfire, Space Team and Super-Con Prime, so it rules even more now!

Yeah think i will get Starscream next.
You heard the rumours about the Armada Dinos? Supposedly BM Dinobots repainted in grey and gold. Sounds spretty sweet.
Am keen to get Scavenger too, he looks really nice. Construction vehicle Tfs rule!

Super-Con Prime is smaller than Reg-Prime, which I think the cab would be classified as a Max-Con, and Super-Con Prime comes with the Mini-Con Overrun, who can be a jet and a gun, and Prime has a Powerlink point on his back that activates a punching feature.

[glow=red,2,300]Dinobots you say?BMs you say?They better not.That would totally mess things up.I mean they are techno-organic.Now if they used the orginal Dinobots...............No that cant work either.Man this is going to fry my mother board!

To anwser both q's HA, no S-CPrime cannot combine to make bigass robo, and the Dinobots are following
Grimlock = BW Dinobot I/BW Grimlock (Suprise suprise_ Geckobot = BW Fuzor Skyshadow Triceradon = BM Triceradon Saberback = BM Saberback Terranotron = BM Terranotron/BW TM Terrorsaur
