The best of the first minicon teams.StarSaber looks beter if if the white on sonar is facing the back of the sword. Rail Spike's weapon lights ss up to the top of jetstorm. If you do not have any bigger armada toys ss fits in RID prime's hands .

I lvoe the clear plastic used on this guys and the possibility with the legs on all but sonar rocks. I'm not a big fna of the sword but the bots individually stand out.

The detail is indescribably cool for any transformer, especially for a mini-con! Cheap, cool toys! Get bang 4 your buck and then some! Only thing keeping it from a 10 is Perceptor can't hold it. Turn sword mode upsidedown and it looks like another robot!

I like these guys. Great sculpt+TF'n, poseability very decent for TinyCons. Star Saber--ain't a sword, not sure what it is, but looks way cool as a ginormous piece of heavy tech...use imagination. Use J'storm plug on Cyc. or Dem's arms.

They're seperate modes are what makes them cool. The sword mode is WAY too fat and wide. It has an ugly sword mode, but the detail on them is awesome. Wicked vehicle modes, and awesome robot modes.

the best mini-con set. when apart the figures are okay. best mode is star saber(in megatron's hand, natch)despite the tendency to fall apart. overall cool.

These guys have great articulation for their size. Too bad they couldnt have put more into the supercons. Sonar rocks! If i had to choose my least favorite it'd prob be Runway, but i like them all.

I just picked up the Wonder Woman invisible jet team, and theyre a bit more complex than I had imagined. I rate them a seven, because one of them has ball joints! The sword dosent look like it would cut a tomato, let alone Megatron.

My favorite out of the first wave of mini-cons. I like the way that the transparent plastic is used under the sword to illuminate the whole thing when placed in Optimus Prime's light up fist. Runway is my favorite.

Overall, a very good set. I wouldn't mind having Jetstorm and Runway with their shoulders better articulated, but that's a minor problem. Sonar is easily the best. Starsabre looks better than I could've ever anticipated.

Aside from the absurd Star Saber mode, these Minis are quite nice. Sonar could've used a bit more clear plastic to match Jetstorm and Runway, but all 3 look good in bot mode, especially the tall, lanky Runway. Nice team, definitely worth getting.

My first Armada figures, nice details and transformation for such little guys. Cool to name the sword Star Saber, it be better if Runway and Jetstorm was colored. Looking forward to put them in the hands of Decepticons.

I like Sonar the best: nice looking, great detailing, and quite a complicated transform for such a little guy. At first I liked the clear, but I think I may like sonar more because he has less clear. The light pipe doesn't really work. Cool little toys

Ok I'd like you to know that I haven't bought any of the Armada at all, this is all based on in package and other means of seeing them. They are the best Armada guys of all. Cool concept. They look really sleek and well designed.

Sonar and Jetstorm are awesome little dudes. Runway isn't bad, just not as good. Sword looks amazing in Megatron's hand, and attached to Demolisher's upper arm in robot mode. Very fun and amazingly complex for their size. Get them now!

amazing level of articulation in these guys. just as good, if not better than the Land Military Team. buy these guys too.

Eternal Prime
Nice transformation for Minicons. The combination into the sword is nice but seems almost worthless until we get larger figures. Just too big in Hot Shot's hand. Color scheme is great. The clear plastic gives them a slick feel. Midlevel recommendation.

CrisisNDoom
Looks very nice with HotShot holding it, waiting to find Optimus so that I could switch it over to him. The only thing wrong with Star Saber is that the connection with Sonar and Jetstorm sometimes fall apart.

The second best of the first release minicons. Sonar is the clear winner in both modes followed by Jetstorm, then Runway. Ignore the sword mode and these make a worthwhile purchase. Recommended.

Perceptor
I like the use of clear plastic which adds an intricate, detailed aspect to each. Individually each looks quite nice tho I expected a better blending of their wing and body components when combined in either of the 2 sword modes. Runway's my favorite!
