And suddenly we have a theory that makes sense. I mean, Megatron has a handful of Prime-equippable-only artifacts after all, and Unicron will be weak for the time being, he needs a body. And who better than Prime? In fact, what better TOOL than that forging hammer to fix Unicron properly??


Ya, that works well enough, but the figure doesn't really seem like Unicron is possessing Prime. It looks more like Prime found a way to diassemble Unicron and reassemble him into a weapon for his own use. Lets face it; Has/Tak can't get enough of Prime and pretty much give him everything - Power armour, his own metroplex like city former. >:oP
But hey, I won't bum out the resta ya any further for those who are genuinely into the idea.

I'd still probably get him, just so that I can have Optimus & Unicron fight. I don't need another Optimus....but if there's no other way I can obtain him mint in package, it may be the only way to go.

Hrm. Well I guess if I have to own a version of this Prime mold, this is the best reason to do so. Wouldn't mind getting the Nemesis version though, so I'll still be looking out for a release of Unicron individually.

usually i try to avoid buying AM figures because I'm not a huge fan of the Microns and the sticker application since most figures rely on stickers for a majority of there detail but I just might pick up unicron just because I doubt we'll be seeing him here any time soon. Hopefully he doesn't have many stickers.

Optimus Prime likes to make others his bitches, and he don't care whether they're dead or not!

This, or the inverse of the situation... to deal with some kind of cosmic threat, Optimus uses the power of the Primes (stored within the Matrix) to reformat one of Unicron's avatars into a sort of makeshift power armor (much as was done with Jetfire's body in Revenge of the Fallen)...

Really? I thought Unicron hated the humans because they were parasites. :???:

Then again, I also thought that Optimus Prime wanted some Cybertronian lovin' from Unicron, when he made his Vash the Stampede-like speech about love and peace. :P

I am with you on this. I mean while PRIME as a whole (as in English and Japanese) is my #2 series, I don't like how lazy Takara Tomy was when it comes to their "Arms Microns" line.

The animation for the tie-in is so bad that it makes Rescue Robots go from a kiddie show to something like what Studio Ghibli would have done in one of their commercials. The stickers should have been tampographs for most of the characters, as Arcee's is reported to have it really bad with hers.

Oh, and if you do decide to get a Unicron from this series, consider getting AM-19 Gaia Unicron. He is currently on preorder at TFsource with the price of $64.95. $68.95 if you are one of those collectors who prefer having it in a "mint" box. It will not come with AM-01 Optimus Prime as this item will, but it might be a better deal if you just want Unicron. :D

Story-wise this teamup doesn't really make any sense, but I'm liking the concept of a Decepticon+Autobot combination. Gaia Unicron also seems great on his own.

Imagine if they were to make a new series with the combination gimmick in the veins of Superlink/GalaxyForce, and in the midpoint of the story you'd get wacky stuffs like Starscream in Magnus Armor or an Optimus/Megatron gattai into MegaConvoy. :-?
