I've been in the conservative Anabaptist world for a little over 20 years. I do not recall Armageddon ever being mentioned, and (generally speaking) I doubt if there is a common imagery of the any such thing ... at least not in my local community.
Me either.
Rev 16:16 is very important to grasp and understand. It has immense depth on God's plan for the world.

This lack of mention would probably be a direct result of the common amillennial interpretation of eschatology predominant among Mennos, as well as the resultant spiritualization of much of the book of Revelation and connected prophecies, it would seem...

Nor I, for 48 years. And this among people who would say they favor premillennialism. I suspect the premillennialism was a patch added on top of a older, amillennial foundation. The result was a degree of uncertainty about the escaton in general. Most if pressed would say "I believe God has that under control."
