Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff?

They confirmed months ago that they weren't bringing Breakdown or Unicron (or Ironhide, or Jet Vehicon ) stateside. Remember?
I am glad I got mine on pre-order. I am actually starting to get concerned with Hasbro releases, and the new materials they are using for (safety reasons). What has become of the U.S. where we are so obsessed with safety and regulations. I was really surprised when I saw that Voyager Dreadwing has floppy rubber tail wings, and knee caps and even his head is a just a thicker piece of rubber... ... I am glad that this is a Takara only release. If it was a Hasbro release too, we would have a suck ass toy with rubber head/horns, and shoulder horns, with a big ugly safety pamphlet inside saying try not to poke your eye out kid. ... I know these toys are mainly for kids, but I am pretty sure Japan has kids too. They just give them a little more credit for not being complete dumb asses and stabbing themselves with a fricken toy....lol
Uh...Takara's releases are getting sloppy too.
Their Dreadwing? Same materials. Look at their promo pics, you can see his one tail fin bending ever so slightly. Breakdown? Thin plastic and hollow limbs. (Doesn't make him less of a badass though...) Unicron's probably hard plastic due to the design requirements, but I wouldn't be surprised if they end up giving us more and more of what Hasbro would. Rubbery junk and all.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that we've seen Arms Micron Dreadwing yet.

Oh boo-hoo being green. It's not easy being chrome.
(u c wut i did ther?)
When was Unicron green? (flashback to energon) Oh yeah.
Missed the point of his joke.
And Unicron was black in Energon.
Armada had a giant green doppelganger of Unicron that was green: the Hikari no Unicron. But that was just a giant mass of energized Mini-Cons and not Uni himself.

Y NO HANDS????????????
Because Prime Unicron has no hands.
The spiky bits retracted and he had hands underneath.
Ah, indeed.
I don't think they need to incorporate hands. Why does he need hands? Hands are useless!
but them how else would he go all Emperor Palpatine on Prime with Force Lightning?
