United UN-29 Ark Unicron In-Hand Images

wasn't all that interested in it the first time around. now that the grey is more blue, my opinion has not changed. unless the original was really difficult to find, I wouldn't even consider getting this, if I suddenly got a hankering for mino-Unicron.

It never dawned on me... but yeah. That's TOTALLY the ark design, ignoring the pincers on the front. Ha.

Wish we could have gotten an animated Omega Supreme ark. That would have been amazing.

That said, I loved this design and toy. The notion of a defeated Unicron slowly returning to power makes for a great story, and a fun toy.

Now, if we could talk them into a Bludgeon repaint. Hasbro? Takara? Anyone?

OK, so 2010 Unicron went for cartoon colors (mostly), while United Ark Unicron goes for Marvel comic colors. As I already have Cybertron Unicron from regular retail it's a pass for me. I just need to figure out what shelf to put him on...

After 20 years begging for an official Unicron toy! Now we have a handful of them, but nobody's buying.

I'm getting him. Gonna display right under the Marvel painted full size version. It's gonna be GLORIOUS, I tell you!

People were begging for Unicron in 2004 and 2005. Not so much since he went on clearance shortly there after...

And the Amazon Unicron is still high in price... Bugger.

$80-$90 for a huge Amazon Unicron seems more reasonable than the $50 they want for United deluxe Ark Unicron. Limited quantities or not, deluxe Unicron is not worth fifty bucks.

$50? wow, does it come with a free padded cushion to sit on?

I never got this guy when Cybertron was out, so I'm not familiar with him.

A tank, though knowing Unicron he can fly in this form like RotF Megatron. I did read in a review that he's supposedly based on a Scarab, which in Egyptian mythology is tied to Khepri, the god of resurrection and transformation. It was in this form that Unicron was reborn into in the Cybertron comics.

Oh, really? Interesting! I love me some mythological references!

Couldn't resist....
