Many have criticized it because "multi-billon dollar corporations shouldn't be crowd funding, it's for the little people". That is where some have misunderstood this process. They don't need the money up front, they need to know people will commit to this and they won't take a loss. They are a business, they aren't there to do us favors. So many people have said "I would buy [really expensive item], they just need to make it." But then when it is released they say they don't have the money or the dreaded "I'll wait for clearance." That is exactly what we don't want if we really do want big, cool things.

I would. At 3ft or 4ft he’s still just another out of scale Unicron. The head would be awesome, plus voice effects as someone previously said.Caelus wrote:Here's a thought... would anyone be willing to settle for something less than a whole figure?
I know it would still be out of scale, but at $500, I could imagine a pretty big playset/display that transforms/folds up into just his head.

I’d rather see this being used to create Titan-class Scorponok or Omega Supreme.

I'm happy for those that want Unicron but I agree I'd rather have Scorponok and Omega Supreme first

Omega and Scorponok would be regular retail releases like the other titans before them. So this isn't a "one or the other" type thing, it's an extra outlet for the more collector oriented market.

Well that's not strictly true in any event. Scorponok and Omega Supreme were already looked over once in a fan poll, for Trypticon. I tie these points together because even after releasing one name only from the poll, they have dismissed the rest of the list entirely. Be it HasTak or HasLab, their track record demonstrates it is and will always be one or the other.
Further proof of this being in their Other Collector orientated Line: The MP Collection. You don't get to choose who you want, you get to select from options they want to make. Which of course their home fanbase is the only region that gets even that level of input.

This would be fun too, Transformers on the whole have very little in the way of playsets! I really like the Ark from the SDCC Dinobot set a few years back, but since it's paperboard I'm afraid to mess with it too much. Even that in plastic form would be awesome.spiderbob007 wrote:I vote for the G1 Autobot Ark or the Decepticon Nemesis as play sets.
AllNewSuperRobot wrote:Exactly, Predaking. Who wasn't even a part of the list Trypticon won. Licensing issues aside, when was the last time you saw Hasbro make Omega Supreme? The G1 Encore from 2008. When was the last time they made G1 Scorponok? A Japan-exclusive repaint in 1988..
In Hasbro's eyes, these are not retail releases. Unicron has been since 2003.
