** All those negative comparisons of ''Armada'' to ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' seem rather ironic now that Creator/DavidKaye is starring as the overarching antagonist in ''Anime/PokemonHorizonsTheSeries'', being another purple-color-associated character who's out to [[GottaCatchEmAll obtain powerful beings for his own ends]].

* VindicatedByHistory: The show (especially its Japanese counterpart, Micron Legend), while still a polarizing show in some circles, its contributions to the Transformers mythos, unique takes on certain characters such as Starscream have caused many to reevaluate it as a flawed but passable effort - especially when considering the divisive nature of later installments of the Unicron Trilogy.

* BetterThanCanon: There exists a fan subbed version of ''Micron Legend'' that includes the ''Armada'' dub synched to the more polished Japanese episodes.

Added DiffLines:

* DracoInLeatherPants: Starscream, no surprise, given he is this in other franchise entries. While Starscream is [[AdaptationalHeroism far nobler than his other incarnations]] and ultimately undergoes a HeelFaceTurn, he has fans who act like he is a hero from day one, ignoring that is still a villain for most of the series and that he still betrays the Autobots after first joining them.

* AcceptableTargets: Fred is the butt of countless fat-jokes, though he does prove to not be entirely useless.



* CharacterPerceptionEvolution: Hot Shot used to be disliked for being the KidAppealCharacter. However after Bumblebee became a CreatorsPet, fans began to appreciate and like him for not being Bumblebee and actually having a halfway decent character arc.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: The show is infamous (though not to the degree of [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers Transformers Generation 1]]) for its ropy, often episode-breaking animation quality, especially during its first half. Characters are often miscolored, badly proportioned, and for several scenes in the episode "Decisive Battle"[[note]]considered the worst looking episode of the series[[/note]], Starscream is represented as nothing but a [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:Dotscream.jpg floating black dot with wings]]! Robot animation in the first few episodes often amounted to static drawings sliding across the scene. At times, you can barely tell what's going on because the animation is just nuts. Luckily, the majority of these animation errors were completely fixed by the Japanese Micron Legend run of the show.
** The ''very'' liberal use of Photoshop filters for the visual effects. It's easy to tell that those [[{{Eyecatch}} eyecatches]] of Optimus and Megatron had the metallic effect used on them, and [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:Armada_bumpers.jpg it looks awful]].

* {{Adorkable}}: Sideswipe.Sideswipe's childish personality and being a ditzy genius makes him awkwardly adorable.
