This has been said multiple times, and it is absolutely false. Primus is about 13 inches tall, and Fort Max and Metroplex are 24 inches. Yes Primus looks good, I agree, but he is not as big as you keep thinking.

24-13=11 ... so ... inches smaller.

Come on Engineer Boy! Don't make the Financial Controller who failed Maths explain it to you!

I just need more space. And more love for the character.

If Unicron ends up getting made, that means I have over a year to collect various Unicron-related characters for the display that's likely gonna become my centerpiece. The question is, to Armada or not to Armada?

If Armada you got a fool you not.

Then, unlike Unicron, I shall grant the warrior his armada. Thankfully, some poorly-animated episodes of Season 3 included Cyclonus duplicates.

I find this statement absolutely rude and offensive!!

GOOD!

I'm not surprised at all that Hasbro decided to extend that deadline. Given the price of the figure ad all those efforts and resources spent so far, no one want all that to go to waste.

So we get five more weeks.



I did cancel my order. But still, at least I have more time to think it over. Pokemon Sword and Shield plus the Switch Mini is coming this November so Unicron's chances are slim. But we'll see...

Armada all the way, man! It's the ORIGINAL first Unicron to have ever been released and he's awesome. Plus he's now relatively cheap and easy to come by because of all the other "better" versions. I'd say get the Armada. In PERFECT condition. Don't get a cheapo junker for a Unicron Shrine. Then you'll need one more of that mold in "special" colors. The Amazon, the 2010, the Green Energon, the evil black. Then there's Ark Unicron, the deluxe spaceship that is cheap. and finally, the weird Prime Arms Micron who transform into his own head.

To go with an Armada Unicron mold, you'll need a Throne of Chaos (if you can find it) or something similar to make the planet mode GLORIOUS!

I was actually talking about getting duplicate Cyclonuses (Cycloni?) to make him an armada, but I actually am planning on getting an Energon Unicron to go with my G2 (TLK) Cybertron. One of my friends growing up had the Armada version, and I've wanted one ever since. I saw one in-box a few years back at a local used game store, and I regret passing it up. Was planning on going after one of the G1 versions if the WfC version doesn't get funded, but I was scared off by the reports of mold degradation.

WTF?!?!?!?!? If I'd just woken up a little earlier today, I would've seriously sold some of my plasma just to barely afford this!







Well, now I can take fuller advantage of that Target sale this week. Thanks for listening Hasbro!
Ah, what a great time to be a Transfan. If only I could really afford to be the lifeblood of fandom...

I meant to say inches to mean that's a significant height difference (not just an inch or cm). Even though hes much smaller, I still like him a lot and wouldn't mind a Unicron at his size, which is what I meant. The idea of a bigger than titan unicron just doesn't appeal to me, it's like the various leader bumblebees, they're cool but dont scale, so it's not really for me.

When you talk about scale, it's only VS Cybertron Primus I hope? Because otherwise...

Anyway, for the Unicron Trilogy universe, the Armada mold is the way to go. But for G1 accuracy, I guess only the deluxe Cybertron Ark Unicron may scale... or is it? Unicron's scale is pretty incosistent.

I can confirm that the Amazon Unicron is absolutely PERFECT and pretty solid after all these years. Too bad for the secondary market prices though. The Takara 2010 version should be perfect as well. Only the newer GREEN version may present trouble mainly due to all that clear plastics.

Fools, Unicron can be any scale he wishes!

Lion warned us about the coming of Unicorn all the way back in '86. But did we listen?

I noticed the extension on the Haslab website about half an hour ago. This will definitely help make it possible for me to pick up this guy. Between a few birthdays this month & a temporary unemployment, I almost had to skip him. This extra time will help & I'm sure Hasbro wanted to make this a reality as much as many of the fans after all the time they put into design & development.

Then this happened, and the world ain't been the same since!

Whilst I'm glad for people that really really want this and might get the chance for this to happen as a result, this kinda feels a bit...I dunno, underhanded somehow? Like "Too big to fail" and all that. If they'd said "We hear you and we're going to improve the product as well so it's more worth the price" I'd be pretty pleased (even limited to adding more paint would do the trick) but something feels...wrong about this.

Like I say, I don't want this to fail, but at the same time it does feel a little dishonest. It's like Disney artificially inflating their box office numbers with ticket giveaways. I can't explain it properly but it just feels wrong somehow.
