They are almost exactly the same - they are, after all, homaging the same colour scheme - but there do appear to be slight differences.

Most notably in the torso... then again, could just be the lighting.

Besides the aforementioned blue looking a bit lighter, I don't see any differences between the two.

Crotch plate appears to be tan and there's a brown spot on the bottom of his left (our left) leg half-sphere thing.

I never got the amazon one. May try to get this guy. I have the armarda one reprolabelled up, but I do like the new head and the lack of transclearant hand.

Hard to tell in that lighting, but it still looks smokey translucent to me.

I love's me some Unicron. So the fact that he's exactly the same (or damn near) as Amazon, is a huge let down.

I know one thing that will be drastically different...the price! Wasn't the Amazon exclusive like $60? Seems the trend these days is to ridiculously price the 'Platinum' releases. I expect this one to be at least $100.

It's practically the same. I ended up just selling my, instead of planets he collected dust on the shelf. Unicron just doesn't wow me anymore. For anyone wanting it, enjoy! It's a solid figure and a gray retool and redeco!

That's not the retail price though, thats the price for it imported from asia.

The actual price is 130$ in Asia and it will pobably be either around that or 150$ when distributed by its exclusive retailer in the US.

Still not a great price, but that $170 is not indicative of the release and just a price importers pay.

I'm just going off what bbts has him listed for. $130-$170 is still really bad monster what. I get it, economy is pretty rough and it doesn't look like toys are ever going to be what they used to be in price but that amount for a 12 year old mold is insane.

I knew that, but BBTS isnt an oficial retailer for this toy. Its like looking at what they or TFSource is charging for a Botcon exclusive and saying thats the price.

Yeah. I know I should look deeper for online stuff but I've been using them for years and it's just convenient for me. On that note I did find a SDCC brainstorm for $25 on eBay! It felt too good to be true but the guys feedback and history was great.

Yeah! Thanks! I just looked up to see how awful the after market for the 3 pack was going for and saw that and was like "oh crap! I'm getting it! "

I'm still scared its gonna show up and either be generations voyager brainstorm or a photo of Titans return brainstorm. eBay scares me
