How well does it hold Primus? And Armadacron? It looks pretty secure .... is that just photo magic?

Not yet for McDonald's Unicron!

Not photo magic, WFC held them both with no problem, but I wouldn't leave them like that for long. Armada Unicron did fall off the first time I tried it, but was able to get it to rest on his horns good long enough for my pics.

Hoping for some pics with out the fly catching strips dangling from robot mode not sure if once it is assembled how easy they are to remove.

Looks awesome eating Primus and should definitely have had the Quint ship instead of the autobot shuttle.

My arrival date is allegedly Tuesday. The sad thing is I will be out of town when it arrives...and won't be back for three days.

Got mine direct from Haslab Tuesday, but as usual no digital camera. Didn't know I was apparently lucky in that regard.

Have never handled a toy so challenging to move, by car or just through doorways.

My friends' kids wouldn't get near it at first, too overwhelming. 6 y/o girl finally tried the opening maw feature, but I guess turning that disk requires adult strength.

Watched Earthrise for the first time while assembling, and just as I finished attaching the ring, he showed up onscreen!

Just mounting him on the stand is a nerve-wracking leap of faith that I'm not irreparably scraping something a millimeter out of place inside.

Every time I pick him up, I feel this urge to buy an incomplete USS Flagg and smash it to bits. Or roll it over Indiana Jones. I haven't gotten a full night's sleep since unboxing, so I still can't quite believe this thing actually happened. Gonna' fix that now.

We've already seen fellow Seibertron user, and YouTube toy reviewer, PrimeVsPrime's review but to wet your appetite for his arrival (or make you glad you didn't back this behemoth) here's a round up of all the latest Unicron reviews!

Once again, no love for the Australian un-boxing video.

Nice reviews and pix but I am still glad I didn't get one. Personally there are things I don't like but that is my tastes. I hope those that have him enjoy him.

Almost done with robot mode pics. Went much faster than expected, I think mostly because I only had to transform the 5 Armada Unicron molds for comparison pics, which was awesome to only have that few. I might turn it into a 3 part gallery. Not sure yet wait until you guys see the amazing awesome poses I was able to get him into once I freed him from his stand Pinocchio style.

Goddamn this Unicron is so frikkin cool.

Teaser pics of WFCT Unicron!

Holy Crap, Ryan! I can't believe how big your daughter has gotten! I remember you announcing her like it was last year...


...damn dude, we're getting old...

This is my youngest child with Titans Return Fortress Maximus back in 2016 when she was a little over 1.5 years old and with her now at about 6.5 years old! Definitely feeling old because it seems like just yesterday that Titans Return Fortress Maximus came out. Damn! These pics say otherwise though.

I need to know how tall the planet mode on its stand is from the bottom of the stand to the top north pole of the planet mode's surface, not counting the top ring.

And how many inches away from the planet's surface the rings stick out (basically, how long each of the four connector pieces are).

Saw your quote. I can do this after I finish the photoshoot in a day or two or someone else can hopefully help you out with the measurements.

With the ring, go for 3.5 to 4 feet. He's BIG (and apparently HEAVY)!

:EDIT: I just looked at my Target cube furniture, 24"W x 35.75"H x 11.75"D (or 2 x 3 cubes)... In my mind I severely underestimated his size.

Holy smokes....

I am really glad I did cancel. The planet mode is imposing and great looking, but holy crap Ryan, your photos just highlight how bad that robot mode is. They did not nail that, they didn't even swing the hammer in the general vicinity.

How so? I think he was demonstrating ROM of the hip joint there..

1) Unicron is extremely pudgy and round. In that first pic, he is supposed to be leaning over and staring someone down in an imposing fashion. Instead, he looks like he's struggling to bend over to grab the giant piece of cake he dropped.

2) the head is simultaneously too fat for the body it's on but the face is still too small.

3) the frikkin kibble.

4) the colors.

5) the kibble.

6) the arrangement and position of the spikes just seem to get in the way of any way his limbs try to move. In those photos, the spikes are everywhere and seem to be rubbing against every thing.

To each their own. Its an incredible toy.

But, if i can ask and you can be plainly honest, is it an incredible $600 toy? As much as I've heard several people really liking the toy, they've also admitted that they do not believe the toy was worth the full asking price.

I think it's worth a lot more than the $600. It will be the highlight of collections for years to come. A holy grail, much like how G1 Fortress Maximus was a key pinnacle and focus of collections for many years.

I'm extremely happy with this toy. Can't wait to share more pics with all of you soon.

I may have just soiled myself at this ringing endorsement.

I tried the same thing and couldn't get it to hold. You must have gotten some strong joints there.

3 weeks since my label was created.

Transformers War for Cybertron: Trilogy Unicron Gallery

The second part of our planet-sized gallery of Transformers War for Cybertron Trilogy UNICRON has now been posted. Last week, we posted the first half of Unicron's gallery which featured Unicron's behemoth of a planet mode. And now we've completed the gallery with the second half which features Unicron's transformation pics as well as his massive robot mode.

At 27 inches tall, HasLab Unicron towers over the other Titan Class figures in height. With over 50 points of articulation, Unicron is able to achieve many fantastic poses, especially after freeing him from the included black stand. This was definitely something that I was anxious to see since so many of the previous images of Unicron just posted him in a not-so-exciting stationary pose. Rest assured, Unicron is just as posable as we've come to expect with recent Transformers toys with ankle tilts, wrist rotation, individual fingers, 360 degree waist swivel, movable head and so much more. The only limitation that I came across while posing Unicron were his shoulder joints limited some poses due to the way that he's constructed, but to be honest, I only came across that limitation after thoroughly exploring the many poses of which he is more than capable.

The Seibertron.com gallery of Unicron includes the standard poses you've come to expect which have been featured in thousands of galleries on Seibertron.com, even including the less-than-exciting "bottom of foot" shot. For comparison shots, I busted out every single Unicron toy I have currently in my possession right down to McDonald's Happy Meal Energon Unicron and Robot Heroes Unicron! Prior to that, I photographed the Lord of Chaos alongside every unique Titan Class mold (sorry Grand Max!) ... including individual comparison shots for your viewing enjoyment. Can we just call Unicron a Planet Class figure now??? After taking the family portrait of Unicrons and the Titan Class figures, I proceeded to gather around as many Transformers The Movie toys of characters prominently featured in the animated film with Unicron. The gallery wraps up with shots of Unicron driving my van and walking around the Seibertron HQ store.

If you missed out on Unicron or want a second one, dozens are available at crazy after market prices on eBay currently.

As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words so let's see what 650 images of the universal Chaos Bringer can do. I may update the gallery later on to include a few more shots but after spending over 5 days photographing this monster planet, I had to move on to some other things for the time being. Enjoy the largest gallery ever to grace the pages of Seibertron.com. Please be sure to share your thoughts about Unicron on Seibertron.com's forums and if you have any additional shots that you think I missed, please let me know.

'Til all are one!

War for Cybertron: Trilogy Unicron (650 images) - Miscellaneous

Does his head need to detach to transform or can it stay attached when in planet mode?
