Is it that we are seeing screenshots on a screen, or has the NEON MARGARINE YELLOW* from the initial been matted down? I know the ring is a different color now but even the spiky bits and the main figure don't look quite as bright.
*this color would have been accurate to the unreleased 86 Unicron, but its not movie accurate

Now that you mention it, the color that they call "yellow" in the unboxing video does look more correctly orange in both said video and the new images.Flashwave wrote:Is it that we are seeing screenshots on a screen, or has the NEON MARGARINE YELLOW* from the initial been matted down?

Will it be possible to purchase Unicron once production is in full swing or did I completely miss the boat by not backing or pre-ordering by 10/6/2019? I'd like to purchase but not sure if I can at this point. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
You're probably out of luck my dude. At least, that's how it's been for all these Haslab projects after the deadline.

Unicron is being made strictly to order. Your only bet is gonna be secondary market at extreme markup.

I know that plastic toys aren't exactly great for the environment to begin with, but if it minimizes waste at all I think it's nice. We still have in-store packages which will look nice as long as they're sold in stores.
This is a really good point. One that I definitely appreciate hearing in the realm of plastic toys.
No way was I going to be able to justify buying this figure, but it looks incredibly good...
I don't know how you properly display such a giant, but maybe it's a good problem?
Obviously, The answer to this is to buy an entire new shelf, Devoted solely to Unicron, Stick it in an empty corner (Also now devoted to Unicron) And eagerly await January 2021, While also sacrificing (at least) one, Full mortgage payment to The Chaos Bringer, Unicron.
Obviously.

Seriously though, I really wish Haslab had found a way to lower the price of the figure, Maybe even shrunk it a little (Maybe even enough to lower the cost to make it feasible to sell at general retail) so that everybody that wanted one could afford to own one. Not everybody wants to go through the trouble of having a kidney surgically removed to sell on the black market taking out a loan just to be able to afford the darn thing.
I personally thought about backing it for three weeks before I did. The way I looked at it, There was no other character I would've been willing to spend that much money on, And also no other figure I'd want to be that large. Also, I've really, Really always wanted a Unicron. Other than the many repaints of the Armada Unicron mold, There were really no other (transforming) options for Unicron. Honestly, I think the Armada mold holds up pretty well, All things considered, But something always seemed slightly off about it to me, Which is what stopped me from buying it each time I'd considered it over the years.
But the Haslab one.. Just ticked all the right boxes.
I honestly tried the hardest I could over those three weeks, Trying my darndest to find at least one flaw in the figure that I couldn't live with (I didn't).
Now that I've typed this all out, I really don't know where I was going with it, I guess just how I justified it.
I just wish more people who wanted it would've been able to afford it (Or alternatively, It been cheaper so even the people who could afford it, But couldn't justify the price, Would've been able to get it.)
Oh well.

Re: Haslab Unicron Discussion Thread
The updates are nice, but super short. I guess all the fun stuff behind Unicron is over and they're just trying to find anything to talk about. Still, what a massive box!
Still have no idea where I'll put this massive thing. Still glad to have backed it.

HasLab Unicron Final Update and Behind the Scenes Video
- Motto: "My past no longer binds my future..."
- Weapon: Battle Blades
Greetings Seibertronians! Well it's been a long and wild ride since it was revealed that the first HasLab Transformer project, the chaos bringer himself, Unicron, was successfully funded. Now though, the final update has been sent to the backers of this gargantuan Transformer, asking them to verify their addresses, and that Unicron will be shipping out in late March!
This is what backers received:
So soon, the backers will be able to bask in the ultimate version of the iconic character, just in time to celebrate the films 35th anniversary (along side the Studio Series 86 figures)
Thats not all though, as over on HasbroPulse.com, they've posted the fifth installment of their own update about Unicron, in the form of a behind the scenes documentary. The documentary shows us how the parts are assembled and painted, all the way to being placed in the boxes big enough for Solid Snake to stealth in.
Check it out here.
With Unicron inbound, it seems some have been lucky enough to have been given one as youtube toy reviewer, Hobbymizer, has posted a preview to their YouTube channel, promising the review to drop on February 8th. Check out the teaser below.
Special thanks to users Sabrblade, Regimus Prime, and Dominus Prime for sharing these bits of news with us.
Are you one of the lucky people getting Unicron? Share your pictures of this titanic event in the Energon Pub, as we all celebrate his arrival, and that of the the animated movies 35th anniversary!
Share your thoughts in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!
This is what backers received:
We are wrapping up the final production and packaging on your HasLab War For Cybertron Unicron and will begin shipping to you in late March. The packaging and shipping process is a multi-person undertaking, and of course, we want to ensure The Lord of Chaos arrives to you undamaged!
Since you placed your HasLab order back in 2019, and well, 2020 was a long year, we need you to confirm the address on file. To do so, please login to your Hasbro Pulse account, navigate to your orders, and locate your HasLab War For Cybertron Unicron order. When in the order, please confirm the address on file is valid. If you need to update your shipping information, please contact us.
Please note: your signature is required for the delivery, so please make sure you are home on the day of delivery to accept.
We are so excited for you to receive your very own Lord of Chaos!

Agreed. I was waiting to see how long it'd take until someone noticed.
I've begun to regret backing it, Considering I was planning to display it in planet mode.
And then they go and change the most prominent planet mode feature, The one your eyes are immediately drawn to, And to be inaccurate, No less...

Probably someone looked at it and thought the blue would look nicer (which it does, it makes the teeth stand out more).
Though if you feel like it's a bad purchase, at least you have the knowledge that you could probably flip it quite easily enough, and maybe make some extra money as well

Re: Haslab Unicron Discussion Thread
Wow. Those screwholes tho.
Imagine paying $600 for Hasbro to simply re-use the same arm (and maybe wing) on both sides.
(I know screwhole covers are included, I still think it's embarrassing for a figure that expensive.)

First Haslab Transformers Unicron Video Review
- Motto: "'till All Are One"
On February first, Hasbro shipped out the Trasformers WFC Unicron to retailers in China, like Robot Kingdom. You can see an image of the the boxes being ready for distribution in one of their Asian warehouses below. Hobby Mizer also got their hands on some and have made a review for all of us. While it is in Cantonese, they include bullet points in English throughout the video.

So we know Unicron is done and shipping to retailers, hopefully this means everyone who ordered one is closer to getting a shipping notice themselves. Let us know what you think of the toy when it comes your way.
