Yea I notced that later and wasn't fully sure how complete the arms are on all sides. Thats so crap if its just the front side and the back side is flat and/or hollow. Oh well, money saved.

strangely, I think Unicrom would have looked good...or better at least...with the Hasbro light-up gimmick.some translucent orange plastic and some red LED could have made that look pretty cool. Bot mode is actually not bad. I do like the design of him. get a very Final Fantasy sort of vibe off him. alt mode is pants and the combined mode is pants and a jacket. his micron looks interesting. is it a rock that becomes a squirrel?

Does Unicron transform into Marjory the Trash Heap from the fraggles?

Ill bet you anything that hasbro wont be able to release unicron in the states because the giant horns on the sholders will be a safety hazard and if they do the horns will be drasticly shortend.

Does that mean that Optimus Prime becomes Optimus Philo and Megatron becomes MeGunge when they combine with Unicron?

If that were really the case, then Hasbro would simply round off the tips of the horns. This figure simply doesn't fit into Hasbro's toy aesthetics and is too costly to properly adjust to match it (so they say).

Simply put, the same reason why we won't get AM Breakdown here.

And a similar case to why we will never have a Fortress Maximus reissue here.

But even then... If Hasbro was smart, they would create a Unicron figure that represents him before he appeared on PRIME. As in give the fans a Unicron toy for their collection, while making something that pre-dates the series.

Actually, FM is a victim of updated Toy Safety Laws; he now fails the so-called Drop Test.

Breakdown, Unicron and Jet Vehicon have such an amount of plastic that they would be right in between two of Hasbro's standard price points for regular retail. They'd have to be exclusives for them to be released in the US, where price points don't apply as much. But considering that releasing unique molds as exclusives is rarely done (once per line at the most), I'd estimate the chances of that rather slim.

or they could stick a cyberverse toy or even a deluxe bumblebee in there and charge weaponizer price for it
