I'm not saying it definitely is, but I noticed that figure is otherwise absent from RobotKingdom's listings.

I just checked BBTS and they have AM-14 identified as Vehicon so I guess that is the case.

I'm having trouble figuring out why I would bet on that. I mean, it's not like TFP has Supreme class figures, and it's not like TFP Unicron looks anything like Armada Unicron. :???:

It's going to be a big Rock Lord, because TFP Unicron WAS a big Rock Lord.

I'll probably be getting it though.

Hasbro already spelled out what the size classes for this line are going to be at Toy Fair. There's no Ultra class for this line. The closest we'll get to that price-wise are the Weaponizers, but they're scaled to be Leader-sized.

Probably something spiky, at least. Maybe it'll turn into one of his arm spikes or something. Or turn into whatever weapon his Hasbro toy will have that the Takara one won't have.

BIGGUY007 wrote:A Transformers Prime UNICRON?!?!?!?!
I HOPE that we get him in a Leader Class so that there will be some semblance to the scale of the RiD Voyager Class. I hope that Unicron will scale to the Unicrons that Prime was fighting in that crevasse. But that is up in the air and I'll wait and see what the FINAL product will look like!! Fingers crossed!!

Sorry, it's a Voyager figure.

Sodan-1 wrote:'Megatron Darkness', eh? What are the odds this voyager is going to be made from translucent purple? Perhaps not to the extent of zombie Cliffjumper, but given the name I'd be surprised if we got the beautiful metal looking voyager Megatron I think a lot of us want.

Maybe it'll look like how Megatron looked in "One Shall Fall".

Every single MA Voyager is $59.99 at BBTS.

THANK YOU! :APPLAUSE:

Isn't AM-14 the car Vehicon from the RiD line?

RobotKingdom mistransliterated "Biikon" as "Beacon" instead of "Vehicon" for AM-14. AM-14 is Vehicon (the car one) and AM-16 is Jet Vehicon.

Exactly! This thinking that it's the Armada Unicron mold is nonsense. >:oP

Or, he'll probably have some made up altmode a la ROTF The Fallen.

ビーコン (bi-i-ko-n) can be romanised as either "beacon" (with long "e" sound) or "Vehicon" (with two separate "e" sounds). In this case however, "Vehicon" is the correct term.

Concerning the size vs. price, don't forget that more often than not, TakaraTomy has a very flexible pricing structure and more limited releases are usually more expensive. Regular Voyagers are indeed in the 3,500-4,000 Yen price range, but the DotM Leaders were roughly 7,400 yen, double the amount.

hwaaaaaaa?!?!?! this came out of nowhere! mkay, ironhide is bought, and unicron better be awesome

LiKwid wrote:Ok..this got my attention..I wonder what his micron will be?

ironhide's will be one of his cannons and unicrons might be the little antibodies

Maybe Unicron will come with all the previously released ARMS MICRONS.

(Sha' right! And monkeys might fly out Prime's ass...)

But I do bet that we will see TT reuse previously released AMs as partners for newer AMs, just in a different color with different stickers (or the same, you choose).

Unicron is a surprise. HASBRO can wow us at Botcon with a look at their versions of all of these. They'll probably save it for SDCC, or TFcon, or some such place instead of the official (North American) Transformers Convention.

gaea unicron could be reworded to say earth unicron which in my mind means he'll be the rocky looking unicron manifestation, no surprise there, but i would bet he doesnt transform much like that energon light up optimus mold we saw previewed earlier this year. could be wrong but a voyager sized tf that transforms into a planet would be kinda silly. plus it would be in line with the car and jet vehicon as well as the recent possibilty of an insecticon mold in that it would be one of those molds that we might want to buy more than one of because thats how it was on the show.

haha seems like hasbro wants to determine if they can get us to buy multiples of the same mold without even having to repaint them and think of another name and bio.

this price point is the same as the japanese cyberverse driller sized play set too. could make an interesting "inside unicron" cyberverse playset.

either way a supreme prime version of unicron would be the better thing but, oh well

Unicron is not a planet in this series.
