Transformers: Armada (Re-Dub Edition)



Transformers: Armada, known as Chō Robot Seimeitai Transformers Micron Densetsu (超ロボット生命体トランスフォーマー マイクロン伝説 "Super Robot Lifeform Transformers Legends of the Microns") in Japan, is a Transformers cartoon series that ran from 2002 – 2003, in support of the franchise of the same name. Animation for the series was produced by Actas Inc.  (with animation for the Japanese  title sequence  being produced by  Raretrick ). The series initiated a total continuity reboot, setting up a brand new Transformers universe separate from any previous storyline. Together with its two sequels, this continuity family is now known as the Unicron Trilogy.

Armada's universe is most distinguished by the presence and importance of Mini-Cons, a race of human-sized Transformers that, when " powerlinxed " to their larger brethren, would unleash a flood of energy. Because of the great potential for their exploitation, the Mini-Cons attempt to abstain from the Autobot / Decepticon  war and flee  Cybertron, crashing on  Earth  and the  Moon. When some Mini-Cons are accidentally reactivated in 2010  by clumsy teenagers, a beacon alerts both the Autobots and Decepticons on Cybertron, who track them to Earth and continue their battle here.

Micron Densetsu has the opening songs  " TRANSFORMER -Dream Again- " and " Transformers ~Kōtetsu no Yūki~ ", with the ending songs " Never Ending Road " and " Don't Give Up!! ". Transformers: Armada was originally relased in 2002 but will be redubbed by Bang Zoom! Productions for a 10th anniversery which will air on the HUB in 2013.
