Haslab has given us toys of a remorseless, pitiless eating machine fuelled only by avarice and his contempt for all life... and Unicron.

Sweet. Wake me when there's news on how non-Americans can get a piece of this pie

[NICK NEMESIS]

Anything is possible. That's both comforting and unsettling to know.

I know the paint job is accurate, but man is it underwhelming to me. My aesthetics call for more saturation and detailing!

 

I both agree and disagree. They're still using that ugly shade of baby blue (instead of a more gray-blue), mustard yellow (instead of orange-gold) and dark metallic silver (instead of a paler gray/silver) that they used on the Amazon Unicron from back in 2010.

 

Granted, the Takara "Welcome to Transformers 2010" Unicron released earlier that same year was a bit too loud in its own deco, so I wish that this figure had had a more happy medium between these two decos:

Unicron, the Divorce-Bringer.

The timing is poor. Late August is back-to-school buying season; wasn't Jabba's sail barge campaign in April?

I'm sure they're hoping SDCC gives this guy a bump, which you can't do in April.  Having the prototype on display will grab some good will.

Personally, I'd love something more like this, but I am probably the only one.

So, seeing this almost as soon as I woke up has changed my entire day. I'm just in awe. The gears in my mind are clicking and clacking, trying to justify bringing the chaos bringer in to this world.

This thing consumes dollars. It consumes literal space. Unicron would be proud.

eh, not before it falls over and crushes a pet or a small child.

[Walky]

unicron is frightening

 

unicron will destroy

They shouldn't cross the devourer of worlds.

Amazon Unicron (and Platinum Unicron) use very metallic orange, not "mustard yellow".  I have no idea where you're getting that from; that said, it sounds like you're basically describing the Platinum Unicron scheme with the slate blue and the lighter silver, which is really nice looking in its own right.

Is it me, or is the head sculpt based off the preliminary Unicron design they went with initially and used in a few scenes?

 

 

I prefer the head sculpt on the Platinum Edition Unicron, honestly.

Id be all over this but Im officially priced out had this been closer to Tax return time yeah I would have a chance

 

Looks great Still on the bright side Im still very happy with Armada Unicron

I think they're splitting the difference between the two designs.  The face is the final one, the helmet's from the earlier one but decoed to match the final.

 

Hmm...  I say that, but he's missing his devil beard.  I think you might be right.  Can someone poke Hasbro on Twitter about it?

That's pretty much their only choice to have it look "just like in the movie".

My Armada Unicron is fine, and cost 1/10th of that thing.

I know you mean Cookie Monster, but it's kind of funny how this describes all three HasLab projects so far.

[Wheelimus]

I'll never be able to afford it but damn if that isn't one hell of a Unicron. Though with that order run it might be an impossible hill to climb. Hate for it to join the ranks of doomed Unicron prototypes!
