Transformers: Armada, known in Japan as Super Robot Life-Form
Transformers: Legend of the Microns
(超ãƒãƒœãƒƒãƒˆç"Ÿå'½ä½"トランスフォーマー
マイクãƒãƒ³ä¼ 説, ChÅ Robotto Seimeitai ToransufÅ mÄ Maikuron
Densetsu), is a Transformers animated series, comic series, and toy
line which ran from 2002â€"2004. As the first series co-produced
between the American toy company, Hasbro, and their Japanese
counterpart, Takara, Armada begins a new continuity/universe for
Transformers, with no ties to any of the previous series, including
the immediately prior Transformers: Robots in Disguise in 2001. It
inspired a sequel called Transformers: Energon. Hasbro handled the
distribution of the English license, while Takara Tomy handled the
distribution of the Japanese license. Transformers: Armada and both of
its following series are all part of a saga known as the Unicron
Trilogy.On the planet of Cybertron, war rages between the two factions
known as the Autobots and the Decepticons over the race of smaller,
power-enhancing Transformers called Mini-Cons. Seeking to flee the
conflict that surrounds them, the Mini-Cons escape Cybertron with the
aid of the Autobots, but an attack by the Decepticons cripples the
ship as it flees through a spacebridge. The ship materializes in the
solar system and impacts with the moon of Earth, breaking in two. One
portion of the ship stays embedded on the Moon, while the other
plummets to the planet below. The Mini-Cons, all locked in pentagonal
stasis panels, are scattered across the globe. The ship crashes to
Earth and 4 million years pass.When Bradley "Rad" White and Carlos
Lopez investigate the caves outside their city, they accidentally
uncover the wreckage of the Mini-Con ship and activate it, causing it
to send a signal that alerts both the Autobots and Decepticons as to
the Mini-Cons' presence on Earth. Megatron and Optimus Prime's forces
teleport to Earth from Cybertron as a result. Rad, Carlos, and their
friend Alexis Thi Dang befriend the Autobots, along with the Mini-Cons
High Wire, Grindor, and Sureshock (known commonly as the Street Action
Mini-Con Team in the toyline). The Transformers assume earthen
alternate modes, and the hunt begins to locate the scattered
Mini-Cons.After a series of battles, each of the Transformers
successfully acquires a partner Mini-Con. Smokescreen arrives to join
the Autobots' team. Hologram-recordings in a sunken city reveal the
existence of the mighty Mini-Con weapon, the Star Saber. The
Decepticons possess one component of the weapon, and invade the
Autobot base to steal the remaining two pieces, only for the Autobots
to seize possession of the sword.
