I just can't spend that much on a toy. I'm beyond stretching for MP-44.

That's an EXCELLENT point frogbat! 19 flippin pounds of plastic and some metal in there (springs screws)?! Almost TWICE the size and more complex than the previous Unicron? Still less than the latest MP Optimus Prime? Yeah, justified in my book too!

Exactly. As far as this "complexity" some people are seeing (second hand, from a handful of pics). His wings twist around to form his Planet rings and his planet mode Shell is on the back of his calves and his backpack as kibble, just like his other toys. He is highly detailed, but the transformation looks very similar.

I can't buy the New MP prime for 400... Lol but this I would drop the extra cash for. I feel no real need to replace my MP10 but this over the old Unicron toy seems like a big upgrade to my display. Very excited for this. To justify it I'll just buy a few less waves of Marvel Legends at full retail.

Like, he has the mustache, but also a giant chin in place of where his beard's supposed to be, looking more like this:

I agree the timing is horrible. March or April would have been better especially with tax returns.
What would it mean for transformers collectors if this doesn't get funded while everything else does (barge, cookie monster)?

Nothing to us. To Hasbro, who are in the business of making money and won't lose sleep over one potentially missed crowdfunded figure, they likely already have a Plan B for a Unicron release.

I’ve been happy with just my old Armada Unicron from childhood, but Christ that’s a big boi with an even bigger price. I only make so much money as a Private in the Army...

I'm trying to look on the bright side both ways: if it happens, it'll be a hell of am addition to my collection. If it doesn't, then I don't have to have an awkward conversation about financial priorities.

Waaay not enough spikes and they are just in a straight line and not scattered like in the concept art. And the colors are too bright. And the pieces the ring consists of have too many hollow cavities and not enough texturing.
But as I see the pegs for the effect parts in his face I think it will look awesome if you pose him with a lot of other figures attacking him and scattering the effect parts all over him
Check out my DEVIANT ART and Twitter, too

As it is, I have a horrible feeling this isn't going to make the goal. The Sail Barge only just got funded IIRC, and between the absurd price and the fact it honestly doesn't look that good...yeah.
The mouth gimmick is very cool though. No complaints there.

Still, even if it was available for everyone, I wouldn't buy it. I just looks like a less gimmicky version of the Armada Unicron with some more G1 accuracy and no parts forming and a much bigger price.
Also the price point and number of people needed is ridiculous, didn't Takara fail to get 3000 for a Grand Maximus Titan which was like half the price of this? Yes I know this isn't a repaint but still...

But IIRC it only needed 5000 backers. Unicron might have an uphill battle, but I'm feeling he's going make it.

Ahem...
I think what people aren't taking into account is that this is probably the only MP Style Unicron we will ever get, even though it's under the "War For Cybertron" toyline. While it doesn't need to be said, there's no way of making a Unicron figure in scale with the MP's, so the next logical step would be to put this guy with their G1 line of WFC, at a much reduced scale, granted. I think it's completely and totally worth it for people who can (barely) afford to pay it and who also enjoy that character to an unhealthy extent.
Also, I was reading Thew's post on it, and I got to thinking that if anyone knows people across the pond who want this, they could order it for them and then ship it over when/if it arrives.

They wont lower the price but they will put it in production, thats what its all about.
Also, we forget that Hasbro is only half of the brand, Takara can take this design and produce it as well on their end for their Japanese market.

I think it was 4000, so half. Plus, unless I am mistaken, I blieve that fan base is much larger than ours.
