History. It is unknown where the AllSpark originally came from, though some sources say that it was created by a mysterious power for an unknown reason. The AllSpark was responsible for creating the planet Cybertron, and the Transformers that inhabited it.
The Cybertron dub and toyline were consistently presented as a sequel to Armada and Energon, and later Japanese materials eventually retconned Galaxy Force back into being the continuation it was conceived as.
The Transformers mecha were largely designed by Shōji Kawamori, the creator of the Japanese mecha anime franchise Macross (which was adapted into the Robotech franchise in North America).

The U.S. dub of Armada is plagued with errors. Most explicit is the repeated misnaming of characters, particularly the Mini-Cons. More subtle clues point to scripts that were transliterated and never given a proper re-write to adapt them for a Western, or any English, audience.

Transformers: Armada (cartoon) 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.
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.
The Legends of the Microns version of Armada was released on DVD by Columbia Music Entertainment in Japan while the series was still on air for a total of thirteen volumes. Initial releases of each volume included a bonus Mini-Con figure and an original comic side story which helped to fill in some of the series's gaps.
Armada was the first Transformers cartoon to be co-developed in the United States and Japan. The show was produced in Japan with animation by Actas Inc., but the English localization by Voicebox Productions was the first to reach air; the "original" Japanese version was not broadcast in its home country until six months after the American premiere. Following a summer hiatus of the American broadcast in 2003, the "Hydra Cannon" episodes and the beginning of "The Unicron Battles" arc debuted on Canadian television, while the final nine episodes of the series first aired in the United Kingdom. Even the Japanese versions of most of these post-hiatus episodes were aired in Japan ahead of the United States, except for the final three; these were burned off as part of a week-long run of daily broadcasts on Cartoon Network just two weeks before the Japanese broadcast of the series concluded.
Fan reaction today. Armada is widely regarded as a mixed bag. While the show has it's flaws, and many fans have had their gripes, most of these gripes appear to have run their course in today's Transformers fandom, after all, there is always something new for people to hate.
As mentioned above, Armada 's flaws mainly stem from a rushed production schedule, something which isn't entirely uncommon for Transformers cartoons, and as such it should be noted that Armada is an English dub of a Japanese series that was not ready to air until six months after the dub premiered.
Debuting as a premiere three-part "movie" at the same time as the 21st century reinventions of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Masters of the Universe, the immediately-apparent twin flaws in dubbing and animation led Armada to stumble out of the gate into a torrent of hatred from the internet fandom that stands out as one of the rare moments in fan history when everyone seemed to be on the same page. Flak continued to pile up as the first quarter of the series proved to be a sequence of repetitive one-shot adventures in which the same small groups of Autobots and Decepticons hunt for Mini-Cons in one episode after another. The later inclusion of Unicron, as well as the gradually expanding cast, eventually led to more wide-ranging stories, in particular a well-received story arc centering on Starscream, but the consistently poor animation and dubbing, coupled with the fact that by the time these stories came around, the show had been consigned to the 6am "death slot" on Cartoon Network, meant the show never truly recovered in the eyes of adult fans.

This series marks the first time that the character of Unicron received a toy, and it soon became one of the most famous and popular figures in the entirety of the Transformers franchise. Unicron first appeared in The Transformers: The Movie (1986), and although Hasbro originally wanted to make a toy out of him, the designs fell through.
