And sweet, you can customize the face?! Love the skull look.

Still, not quite right...




Maybe some paint apps help?

It's very cool. I love the cutaway concept. I still wish it was a little closer to the G1 Unicron design. (Though, to be fair, there's like 10 versions of that design too, between the movie and the cartoon.) As it is designed right now, I'm not terribly tempted to get it. (And my wallet cheers at that thought.)

Agreed - he resembles Unicron, but he's not quite Unicron.

This is very, very, very cool. But for lack of being spot on, I may have to pass.

May.

*Insert obligatory joke about not being willing to pay that much just for head*

Hmmm....it would be so cool if there are plans to make the rest of the body...as is now, that's one expensive head....

How big would that body be?

Pre-order:


LunarToyStore has it currently at around $130 - http://www.lunartoystore.com/products/o ... -pre-order

BBTS has it for $160 - http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/prod ... ode=retail

Yeah, no. That space is not worth spending $160 to fill.

This thing is too small to scale with legends even. Plus 160 bucks is too much for a little head. That price usually gets you everything.

BBTS notified that the pre-orders for the item will be cancelled.

Can't say I'm surprised, but this sucks for people who were looking forward to this.

There probably weren't enough pre-orders for this across all the import sites.

I suspose this sends a message to 3rd party companies. Fans are not too fond of paying 3rd party prices for playsets that can't transform into a Robot & Alt mode.

I don't know about that - I imagine Ultimetal Prime and Sentinel Scorponok will both do well.
