Forget the G1 or Neo Unicrons, I want
this Unicron BEACH BALL!

This fandom? Absolutely. Especially the more active "Trukk not Munky" crowd during the Beast Era.
But he himself wasn't a beast. I could see some making a special exception for the big planet-former himself. Besides, by 1999, the "Trukk not Munky" crowd had mostly died down, what with episodes like "Possession" and "The Agenda" injecting so much G1 into Beast Wars by then.

He likely didn't appear like that in Neo because the toy was canceled. The final few episodes seemed like they were building up to Unicron obtaining a new planet body, but the toy's cancelation likely nipped those plans in the bud. And the toy was likely canceled because of low toy sales overall. And the low sales were probably due to Beast Wars Neo itself being a series that (up until the debut of the Blentrons) was just so mid and unambitious.
The Blentrons and Unicron gave it a shot in the arm that it desperately needed (especially for the brand's 15th anniversary), but it just wasn't enough. The show did get better, a lot better, when they were brought into the picture, but by that point it was too little too late to salvage the line enough to see the Unicron toy get made.
Another dropped figure from the line was what could have being
Unicron's main minion before it was decided to just use the preexisting Fuzor molds for the Blentrons.
