Planet Iacon comes through again with some nice new images of AM-19 Gaia Unicron. We get 8 new pictures and some nice close ups of the shiny chrome that adorns this new version of the chaos bringer. Also, we can get a new look at the combination gimmick with Optimus Prime and Megatron. He gets released at the end of the month so be on the look out if you want to add him to your collection.

Those girls look like they're pretending to know what they're looking at. :lol:

Unicron has a lot of chrome. He still looks pretty cool, but maybe I can live without him if he doesn't get a Hasbro release.

Those would be the stars of the J-Pop Idol Group Tokyo Girls' Style, they host the Cybertron Satellite segment of the Japanese Prime cartoon. In those segments, they display transformations but above all, show off Arms Micron.

He transforms into the volcano, as he spoke to Megs in the show. Rock Lords anyone? :D I love love love this thing, but I probably won't shell out for it 'till prices dive.

i still think the armada unicron + all the repaints and the G1 retool of the same toy
was the best, this Gaia one is a disappointment it could have much more awsome by making it at least a supreme class and not combine with megs or optimus which i don't understand why
they do combine it makes no sense

Maybe it's a form in which Unicron possesses them?

That's the running theory right now.

No. He transforms into his own face. Look at it.

And it will look back.

Well, it's his face on a volcano.

Look again. It's a horned volcano with his face in it. The chrome part represent lava flowing down.

I really don't know what to make of this guy anymore. Robot mode is pretty good apart from the split spiked glove thing. Combined mode is poor. What's the point to it anyway? It's too bulky to fly. Doesn't provide extra armour. And as far as I can tell there's no extra weaponry. Alt mode is still a mess. Regardless of what it's meant to be, it sucks.

The more pictures I see, the better I feel about my preorder. This is actually pretty cool as he transforms into a volcano as well as having his face be part of it, similar to the shows concept. Also, if you use your imagination (as I believe they intended), the "wings" in volcano mode look like lightning bolts striking down. I for one am excited.

Turns out the so called "combined" mode is actually a "capture" mode.

Its bloody odd but now that I see what the Alt mode is supposed to be it makes more sense and I think I like it.

they should have made him a massive cyberverse play-set were you have a large robot form that turns into a base or volcano in this case and have traps and such for the cyberverse figures
make it bigger than the maximus prime set
but as lazy as hasbro is it will never happen

The altmode is designed to work with the cyberverse figures. Robot mode is a figure, altmode is a playset. Dual-toyline figure. ;)
