Ok, re: the Maximo pictures out today, if this is NOT having some Unicron-ish recolor I will be profoundly shocked. Heck, just change the head a bit and make it orange and you have Selects Beast Wars Neo prototype style Unicron right there...

I read they're going to make a "Unicron Trooper" or something with this mold. Maybe it will look like that Unicron tank bot that could pass for Bludgeon?
The amount of retooling would probably be right out (the only things that work here are really the giant horns), but it'd be wild to have it turn into Unicorn's head like the Arms Micron Gaia Unicron.
I could see it working if they can retool the back panel of Liege Maximo’s spaceship with a face and it'll be close enough. It’s not like Gaia Unicron was all that coherent of an altmode

It's a perfectly cromulent pile of flying spikes.
Cybertron Unicron is also an option, and one I'd like a lot better.
Speaking of Unicron, Hasbro's social media has been hyping up some sort of announcement related to TFTM, which they seem to be announcing either this Friday or Saturday (can't tell precisely from the videos):

Some suspect it could merely be a rerelease of TFTM in theaters, or maybe just another special Blu-Ray release, or maybe the announcement of a proper Matrix of Leadership replica made directly by Hasbro.
But the biggest scuttlebutt is that it could be the announcement of another new Unicron toy. While we should probably lower our expectations about such an announcement, 2026 is admittedly the 40th anniversary of TFTM, so it would make sense for such an announcement to be made in this year. And Unicron was the ancient archenemy of the Thirteen, so he'd fit in well for the Age of the Primes line.
Of course, the HasLab Unicron failed to meet its crowdfunding goal without an unprecedented extension, so a Titan class toy would be more reasonable than making it another HasLab or even just a rerelease of the previous HasLab.
Alternatively, a pipe dream for many would be Missing Link Unicron, with Missing Link Arcee as precedent, but this announcement is coming from Hasbro rather than Takara, so Hasbro wouldn't be hyping up a Japanese Takara toy before Takara themselves.

My heart hopes like heck for a Missing Link Unicron, but my wallet hopes for a special return screening in US theaters that I wouldn't be partaking of.
Titan class toy for this year is already taken up by Grimlock, and the rest of the live action dinobots own the titan class for the following three years.
6 foot diameter Inflatable pool toy Unicron.
But aren't they Studio Series? This thread is for Age of the Primes.
They only put out one titan a year; they specifically gave AotP the Studio Series commander class figure slot because they were taking the Titan slot for Studio Series. That's why were getting two AotP commanders this year, unlike the previous years where it's been one in each line.
I want a Unicron that's small and enjoyable to handle. BIGGEST EVER!!!oneone! is done. SECOND BIGGEST EVAR!! isn't exciting. Just make a toy.
Unicron Roleplay Helmet. Many of us already have the... rest of the body shape from the prototype.
Still need the skeletal wings, though.
The myth of Unicron failing to fund without the extension is never going to die, is it?
The one thing I'll add to my previous post is that there were two days left in the campaign when the extension hit. Again, he was 2,700 away from funding at that point. It's still not clear whether the final tally was the 11,272 number it ended at or the 12,000+ it got updated to later. Either way, that's 3,000-4,000 backers added in the final day alone. Prior to the extension, he had more time than that left to hit a smaller number of additional backers.
It likely would have been tight, and it was not certain he was going to fund. But it's just not true to say he had failed to fund, or would have failed to fund, without the extension.

I would be more than happy with a new Unicron around the size of the Armada Unicron/2011 Unicron toy, so it could fit onto one of my Billy Bookcases. I'd also love a new Omega Supreme around the same size, actually.
Titan Unicron with effect part pegs, only instead of effect parts, you get little tiny Dinobots to stick on his butt.
