Reviews - Armada Race Team (Downshift, Dirt Boss, Mirage)
I got this Minicon team on Friday, So Far I have to say besides Preceptor This is the Best Combiner Team Out there I am very please with my Buy. Only 2 Flaws though Dirt boss' arms only go down and up and the other is this Mirage Keeps Falling off.
I'm not impressed. Doesn't look anywhere near as cool as the Star Saber. And the Mirage component on mine keeps falling off. Lackluster at best.
The race team are pretty weird. The heads of Downshift and Dirtboss are quite pathetic, Mirage is probably the best. The combined form is okay, but it falls apart easily. Buy it for a shield for a tf to hold.
veh modes are cool, rob are hideous. skyboom, wether a shield or jet both are lame. won't stay in anybody's hand, and always falls apart. the best things about the team are M and Downshifts faces. very cool
Pretty cool guys except for the facts that Ds'legs fall off all the time, and M's legs are positioned so he can't stand up and isn't an original mold. DB's lack of coloration on his head is understandable, making him my fav. Skyboom is okay.
Great team. Faces could use more color, but I can live with that. Skyboom is too fun, especially when used alongside Starsabre.
Ds is a major dissapointment, his head keept comming off. I relly thought I'd like him from the box pic. 3Once you finally figure DB's tf he's ok. 4 If you have Ss then you bacicly know Mirage.4Sb is a funky looking jet. Oh, it's a sheld,box says jet.
skyboom awesome, minicon combos cool. Like w/small prime protects whole body.good with saber or requiem blaster vehicle modes awesome combined w/ redalert or hotshot. armada impressive combinations,possibilities endless, leaves plenty room for imagination
Liked it. Doesn't hold together well.
Overall these guys are great! The only major problem is the fact that, like the Star Saber, Skyboom does not hold together well. Also I was slightly dissapointed to see a repaint of a mini-con so early in the line, although he is slightly retooled...
This mini-con team had the worst robot modes I have ever seen. Their car modes are sweet however. I only really like dirt boss' robot mode. Skyboom sometimes falls apart but when it doesn't it kicks @$$. It's definetly worth the cost.
I like the combination of the three into "Skyboom". I have trouble getting Mirage to stand up straight on both feet, the way his legs are set up, he either leans on one foot or the other. Overall, though, pretty good. Transformations are nice.
