It can be done while attached in planet mode. I think you just need to move his horns downward, similar to Armada Unicron. I would just detach it to make sure that the head doesn't somehow detach inside and damage his face plate(s).

I haven't gone into the gallery yet as I have an exam on diabetes and pediatric and adult GI issues that I'm studying for, but I REALLY REALLY home there is a picture in there with the SWTF Death Star since you made that comment...

I wonder how Prime Unicron looks like as a head for this guy. Looks almost in proportion.

Seeing all these pics makes me really excited to get mine in the mail!

I hope earlier criticisms don't hide the fact that I'm still glad I decided to get this guy. Grey maw, misleading interview, and all those other gripes aside, this guy looks incredible. And the pics really put how large this guy is next to other titans to rest.

It seems almost a shame to post some of these pictures with TR Galvatron instead of the upcoming Studio version. He looks so out of place with everyone else.

Mixing my franchises yes.

Unfortunately no pic with Darth.

but he's about the same size as Armada Unicron...

Welp, I guess I’m now ready to go pay some ridiculous aftermarket prices for this guy. Do I regret not purchasing him during the crowdfund? Nope, cause I literally couldn’t at the time. But now, I can and I will. Pray for my wife’s blessing! I’m off to eBay!

Good luck with that. There's one going for 860 bucks which seems reasonable.

There's also one going for $10,000 bucks which is just insane.

Every other offer is somewhere within the $1200 to $2500 range. So twice to 4 times its original price.

Might be worth checking FedEx again. Mine just got updated with a "delivery" day of Friday. Pulse still says unfulfilled.

Sigh. Guess I'll be picking it up from the FedEx depot an hour away on Saturday morning. I really wish Pulse would offer a second shipping option. FedEx is the only parcel service that considers my address too rural to deliver to. And they've already lost two packages this year.

After an afternoon with my daughter as the cameraman, here is Unicron's transformation in stop motion. Feel slightly heroic for transforming with the wings on, lol.

A slightly different ending:

Man, I wish he looked more like the Unicron that was in that comic. Like a 2nd head option at least, like the Sentinel had.

I've lost faith in Fedex recently, in the past year 4 figures have gone missing, most recently Grimlock

Same, got an email at 6:30pm telling me he just shipped. Mine wont be showing up until next Monday unfortunately. I probably wont be available when it arrives so I hope they just drop it off and ignore the signature requirement like others have reported.

Remember When Toys Were Fun? Hasbro's $575 Unicron Figure Takes Almost an Entire Hour to Transform....that was the headline on Gizmodo which made me laugh a bit. Does anyone got transformation down in less that time? :))

Sorry for not doing better showing the actual headline from the website, I'm just not so savvy. :-P

According to the timestamps of the photos I took while transforming Unicron, I started at 4:49pm and finished at 6:04pm. Mind you, I took 72 photos of the process and got stumped a couple of times when the instructions didn't make sense to me. I think I did pretty good. That was basically a photo per minute during the transformation process, so not bad. I'm assuming I could do it in about 30 minutes now that I'm familiar with it. He's actually very straightforward once you "learn" his transformation.

I'm guessing this was intended to be in reply to Nemesis Destron.

My FedEX account notified me yesterday afternoon. I got my email from Pulse about 3 hours later.

Friday eta.

All I wanted from the beginning was to keep apprised of what was going down.

Hold the FRONT DOOR. Where did you find him for $860?? I’d snag him for that in a heartbeat! I can’t find anything on eBay below $1600. Help anyone?

Heck, I’d be thrilled to get him for $1,200-$1,300 anywhere.

Oh yeah I totally forgot to check the listings on eBay just for the hell of it. One sap is asking for 10 grand AND no free shipping...really? :roll:

That'd be my selling point! Everything is for sale at the right price. I'd part ways with mine for 10G.

If you did not order one during the project window and now want one and are willing to pay the market price for them...what changed?

Here's one for $760 though it may not stay at that for long.

and $900...

They are going up fast.

Can't seem to find the one going for $860 anymore.

Could have been out of a job? Lots of stimulus checks? Received an inheritance? Who knows. Maybe just missed out or wasn't aware and now wants it. I can think of lots of reasons, same with any of us who miss something when it first comes out and then has to pay extra later.
