Who's that?

We've been talking about him the whole time.

That's Thundertron, the leader of the pirate faction.

gothsaurus wrote:Whaaaa. Boney Unicron merged with Prime? It would take a miracle to make that look good! Not to mention that's like making a Starscream or Megatron and Prime combiner. Like, when would those two even hang out?

It would probably be a direct ripoff of the SS Gogeta from that Dragonball Z movie. "Why would I ever share a body with you?" "Just shut up and hop on."

I will definitely take the Vehicons, Unicron, Nemesis Prime, Darkness Megatron, the lionformer(just in case it doesn't see a US release like the jet vehicon supposedly won't). The others i'll wait for Hasbro versions & then it's only if I see them, not going to actively hunt them.

No jet vehicons in USA? How are we supposed to troop build?!? If you get the First Edition, USA, AM versions... then the AM jet and USA jet, you have a pretty good troop started, right?

Hope it comes this way. Looks pretty neato.

Voyager UM was bound to happen eventually.... >:oP

If he looks more like G1 UM than FOC UM, well.... no brainer there.

I'm curious to see more on Unicron and the Vehicon.

What about this "MECH" Breakdown? I'm curious as well to see how this will turn.

Why do I get a suspicious feeling that a few of these new reveals will be Takara-only? :-s

Because Hasbro realizes that they're starting to mess up the PRID line. -cough- Airachnid -cough-

so how many of these are we getting in the US? i heard that breakdow and the jet vehicon are takara exclusives.

I TOTALLY CALLED IT! Unicron does combine with Optimus....wait....does that mean that...DOES THAT MEAN THAT WE GET A PRIME/UNICRON TEAM UP AGAINST MEGATRON!

.....Excuse me while I lay down and take a wee breather here cause I think my mind just got blown...and I don't mean the wind or bomb kind of blown.

Other then that very vague prototype pic we saw a way's back, where was it confirmed that they combine?

Look at the picture behind/beside Unicron. There's a noticeable amount of Optimus Prime in the middle of a Unicron armor-combiner-thing. And, in all fairness, you didn't "call" anything, as the very first image we got of Gaea Unicron was combined with Prime. xD

Anybody else think Unicron's chest looks like translucent plastic? It's either that or just very shiny...in either case, I like it. I really REALLY want to see more of little Gaea Unicron here. (I'm definitely glad he's a voyager too, keeps him from being too expensive.

)

That image could very well also be my idea of Unicron turning into a turret for Voyager figures to use, with Optimus being used as an example.

Also, some places are identifying Thundertron instead as "Leo Prime", as though that were the toy's name. :???:

The TF franchise is alive and well...I love all of this TF goodness coming out this year. This is going to be an epic TF collector year, though a bit of a wallet buster... :BOWDOWN:

I have the Jet Vehicons on pre-order, and now after these ( even blurry) pics, I think I am down with preordering Unicron. I am also in when Nemesis Prime comes up for pre-order.

The others I will get, but I can wait for domestic release on those.

I am going to need a credit counselor after all of this PRID, FOC, and MP's... :-$

Going to have to pick up 3 of those "Thundertron" figures. (What a crappy name)
It might be only 2 depending on how the paint job looks on his original release but I definitely want to do both a Steel-Jaw and a Lio Convoy repaint since I don't trust that Hasbro will actually do any kind of justice to it if they decide to do repaints of this mold. I guess this means I'll have to get another Prime so I can do a head swap but that should be no problem since they'll be shelf warmers at the local Wally World.

unicron looks pretty badass, just hope the alt mode doesnt suck. Ironhide looks good too but we all know hes going to be overpriced just like all the other deluxes so ill have to pass, and everything else shown is a pass as well. Think im going to take all the money im saving on transformers and buy a PS VITA.

Seeing as to how Takara pushes Unicron to be on the decepticon side (look at the box emblem) I'm curious about Thundertron's case here...

Will HasTak go out on a limb to put a star seekers emblem on Thundertron's box art just to show that he's aligned with neither factions, or they'll just dump him on any faction that might be 'beneficial' to him?

Anyways on my part Thundertron gets precedence than any other TFPrime offerings, even 3rd party upcoming products. It's about time we get a 3rd faction that's official and hopefully it's ranks bolstered throughout the coming years

Unicron being a Voyager kind of suggests he will have translucent parts, since nearly all the other Voyagers from this line have.
