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.



I know this is off topic, but that's got to be the worst misuse of 'homage' I've ever seen on a board that really overuses the word. It's not an homage if it is the same toy with the same paint scheme. Something that looks just like itself is not an homage, it's the same thing as it was before.
It's like a reissue or a rerelease. Encore Optimus Prime wasn't an homage to G1 Optimus Prime. This is the same deal.

When I said that, 'they' was referring to both toys, and 'colour scheme' was referring to the colour scheme Unicron had in the 1986 movie. I wasn't saying Platinum Unicron was a homage to 2010 Unicron.

Ok, fair enough, but that's still not an homage. A picture of me is not an homage to myself.The Unicron toy is meant to resemble Unicron from the movie, so it looks like itself. It's not homaging anything by looking like itself. If this Unicron was was painted up like that scene from Headmasters where Galvatron gets all large and round and planet-esque, that would be an homage.

Speaking of which....why can't we get that? That's another use of the mold that I'd be interested in.

Say what you will about the high base prices of the Platinum sets, at least THEY ARE SCALPER PROOF. When a limited collectible come out dirt cheap, scalpers come running in like locust abd ampty all the shelves in 3 seconds. Then, you sucker will have to pay double or quadruple the price. So, high price now, EVERYBODY get a chance to grab one, then the cheap can hold off and wait for a sale.

To hell with scalpers. I support Hasbros ""ridiculous" prices. Because ironically, the Platinums ALWAYS get on sale sooner or later. And most of the time, we can buy them at the relatively "normal" price down the line. Especially since Hasbro stopped being stupid and all of their packajings are in English, French, and Spanish.

I'm pretty sure if the Platinum is the exact same thing as Amazonicron, the "original" may actually drop in price. Because more supply. Right now, the price is inflated as hell so the ones late to the party were screwed. So my guess is the price of the old one may match the Platinum's at the very least.

Couldn't they have at least upscaled the size to be bigger than Metroplex for the price? It's weird having a planet that could be stomped on by a city from a planet it originally almost ate.

Is anyone else just satisfied with their original Armada Unicron, at least until Hasbro or someone produces some giant sized ultra-Unicron?

I absolutely am. I made the comment earlier about the giant bloated planet Galvatron repaint, but if I were interested in that, it'd probably be that I was interested in looking at pictures of it online. We've had repaints of this toy in Energon and a bunch of exclusive rereleases, but I've personally never felt the need to get a second one. All the rereleases have just been this toy in different paint, so there isn't any real impetus to double dip. It's also a fine toy, for what it is and who it is. If there was a brand new figure, I may be tempted quite a bit, but the same guy with slight color differences doesn't do it for me. I do think it's cool that there have been so many opportunities for people to get this guy though.

How about everyone is right enough that it doesn't matter :D To me this is Armada Unicron with a G1 Unicron head, and the rest of the body is an homage to the color scheme of G1 Unicron. To you, this is G1 Unicron. Both things are ok.

And your Galvatron idea is glorious. I'd love that.

Actually seeing how the Amazon version is selling upwards for about 200 dollars (which, eh. Money. eh) I might try to get the Platinum myself if I can manage it. Then again I could throw the same amount of money into the MP=5 Megatron that's a total nightmare to transform and has been on my wish list for a few years now.

The Cityformer G1 Fort Max mold was already bigger than the Unicron mold even back when it came out in Armada. Nothing's changed since.

I am. Well, I reprolabelled him. But I am still satisfied with him. That's why I haven't gone crazy over this guy, or the Amazon one, nor will I pay over the odds for him. I'd like him with the new head and the more solid colours (less transparant plastic) but if I can't find him, eh. The Armada one is still king of the Unicron shelf.

I absolutely am. I made the comment earlier about the giant bloated planet Galvatron repaint, but if I were interested in that, it'd probably be that I was interested in looking at pictures of it online. We've had repaints of this toy in Energon and a bunch of exclusive rereleases, but I've personally never felt the need to get a second one. All the rereleases have just been this toy in different paint, so there isn't any real impetus to double dip. It's also a fine toy, for what it is and who it is. If there was a brand new figure, I may be tempted quite a bit, but the same guy with slight color differences doesn't do it for me. I do think it's cool that there have been so many opportunities for people to get this guy though.


I own both Armada Unicron and Amazonicron. For me, both are worth owning because it's not just the collors that differ, it's the head as well. And that count for a lot. I also love that one is the G1 and the other the Armada. And finally, using the Throne of Chaos, one can be in bot mode while the other is in planet mode. I do the same with my 2010 Primus and Cybertron Primus.

Buying the limited edition repaints when they came out indeed helped a lot.

Be interesting if they swapped the metal on Rodimus with plastic :-?
