Toy Images of Transformers 2010 Unicron

*drool* What a world of difference a new head and G1 colors make... Wish I could afford him.

Me too. There is just way to many new releases (TF and non-TF) right now, which are "must haves". Maybe I shouldn't have bought a new car in the spring..?

Shipping this puppy will be interesting for a lot of folks. That's going to be one big box delivered to my office.

Yes, toy box itself is HUGE..... So pretty costly I guess to ship this monster...

Yea really huge box! Haven seen such a huge box in a while for such a low price on the toy itself.. really nice box art too.

Looks great. Was a tad concerned from the previous over-contrasted photos, but seeing the real deal has put those to rest for good. Thanks for sharing!

Can't wait for this to arrive

That's really nice. I wish I could get that, but it's bit much for me right now.

As much as I've enjoyed the Armada Unicron, seeing this in all of it's glory makes me wish I could get my hands on it.

Not too shabby!

I'll actually be in Singapore in a few weeks. Wonder if this will fit in an overhead bin on the plane?

I really hope they release this state side.

Wow, why dont you call me then? I will bring u around to toys' whore house here.... Cheap to hunt down Japanese stuffs....

Nice! Looking forward to mine! PS where did you get yours and for how much? I preordered mine for $140

Mine is from Robo Robo... SGD$135

damn. i have the og unicron. the new paintjob is awesome. i may have to sell my og one and get this.

Epic. But I can stick to Armada Unicron. Looks awesome though.

Thts the way unicron is supposed to be !!! Glad I pre-ordered him. A bit costly, but this is my childhood dream were talking about. After seeing this version, I am just not satisfied with my Universe version that resembles Armada Unicron where he plays the role of a lifeless being that sucks up power.

I'll be beaten but 2 me the Armada Unicron (which is the one I have) is as good as this one can gets to be. But sure if one doesn't have it, can hopefully feel this is a G1 hommage and find there reasons to get it. Too sad is the packaging, doesn´t make any justice to the figure, nor provides a decent display box, that's another low, even when my Unicron's box ended up as my cats' meditation room .

But, as almost anything released this year, I'd love to get them, and maybe I would if I had more room to put another freaking giant planet. And off course if it were cheaper.

Do mine eyes deceive me or doth he have green eyes instead of red?

I couldn't bring myself to keep the pre-order I had on BBTS, I just can't justify spending $150+ on a $50 figure which I already have multiples of, even if it has a shiny new coat of paint on it. I rather put that money towards a new mold/figure like MP Rodimus or the PG Strike Freedom Gundam that was just announced.

I'm rather annoyed, only because I was lead to believe that there would be a new headsculpt that was closer to the animation model

Hrm? Isn't that exactly what this is?

I know the difference is a bit hard to tell, but they're there:

- Armada Unicron's head is more angular, and has the dot in the middle of the helmet
- 2010 Unicron's head has more smooth curvy lines.

I don't think it's hard to tell that they're different at all in this case. This Unicron is clearly based on the 86' film.

I like it, but won't buy it. Not that expensive really, but shipping would be a bugger. I think they missed a trick not deco-ing Dead End as one of the moons though.

Pretty happy I only ever bought the Energon version and held off buying the normal coloration. Now I won't have to get rid of a Unicron. I'm pretty pleased with how he looks. Are the eyes actually green? They don't look like it to me.

On pre-order. CAN'T WAIT!

As much as I enjoyed the movie and all that, I'm a BIG fan of detailing and highlighting. I really like the more sinister appearance of the Armada figure to this one. It's just too plain for me. Very meh.

They were to me. I've rarely been so pleased at being proven wrong.

I am seriously pissed that mine hasn't arrive yet!!

I live in Tokyo and have always been lucky and got the exclusive releases really early - it was a holiday weekend here so that must be why it's later than normal.

Something to look forward to when he does eventually arrive I suppose.

My Energon Unicron is going up for sale on Ebay soon. No need to have 2 of the same figure, especially when he's so huge and Predaking and Masterpiece Rodimus are going to be competing for shelf space in the next 5 months!

Jazz-1982 wrote:Predaking and Masterpiece Rodimus are going to be competing for shelf space in the next 5 months!

I have had to make room as well. Not a bad idea since selling items that I do not want any longer provides financial resources for the latest releases. Especially when there are so many choice items being released in the coming months.

I think you and I are the same Zeds. That's exactly what I've been doing lately.

I've given/am going to give up :
Classics Henkei Wildrider, Dragstrip, Ultra Magnus (sold City Commander armour so no point), Acid Storm (don't like his paint at all) and Cliffjumper, Elector Disruptor LIgier (he's not really a G1 character) and Transformers Collection Soundblaster (again not really a G1 character and all of my original G1 toys that have been reissued over the last 4-5 years as there is no point having doubles or old loose jointed versions when you can have shiny, new complete ones in their boxes.

It's a good way to collect - one in one out - almost anyway. With Masterpiece Rodimus I'm going to keep Hot Rod and sell the trailer (no interest in Rodimus) so the toy will pay for itself.
Good for saving space and not spending too much cash.

Can't. ****ing. Wait.

I'd have to wonder on that; IS there a market for the trailer-only? I mean, that trailer only comes with Masterpiece Rodimus, it's not a separate item like with MP Prime, is it? So the only real figure it's sized for would be MP Rodimus, right? If you're buying the figure, you're buying the trailer, so where's the target audience for strictly the trailer?

Just wondering!

Not enough difference to buy. How long has this mold be around for now 10 Years?

Looks good. I think it would be cool if Hasbro were to release this in the States, but since they just released Armada Unicron as part of Universe not too long ago, I doubt they will.

I would love to have this.
Though I love the Movieverse, my friend had this when I was about 10, one of the most fun TransFormers I've ever played with....plus, I love firing missiles >_>

But what with having to import it, I probably wouldn't be able to do that, and there's quite a few figures I want more.

Love this guy!! the box art is awesome and really loving the new head sculpt as well. Too me, even the colors look better than the Armada version. Glad i ordered mine...

Good point. Hasbro and Takara Tomy's releases, whether they be new figures or reissues are usually very similar so with you guys in the States getting Universe Unicron it made sense for the Japanese market to get a reissue of him too.

I'm just glad to be able to buy him new MISB instead of the loose one I bought on Ebay. If I can't buy it MISB then I'm not interested.

Hey! nice to see another Halo fan on here - why'd you pick Covenant - did some other guy take Master Chief?

Basically, it looks like the American release is going to be of the Hot Rod figure only, with no trailer because if it includes the trailer then it'll be really expensive and retailers like TRU, Target and Walmart won't touch it, especially after shelf warmers like Skywarp.

So if that's true then there should be plenty of TF fans stateside who would love to get their hands on the trailer.
If it turns out not to be true then I'm still selling it because there is a market for anything TF on Ebay and collector's sites so it'll be no problem to sell.
