At $600 it's probably not something you want to play with.

I mean, for $600, I can think of other things to play with.

"They want to put their d*** in my planet devourer mouth."

"They want me to literally give them head."

"Face it, Arcee..."

"I, UNICRON, AM THE BEST TRANSFORMERS WAIFU!"

Please stop with your perversions, they're really not welcome on this site and I'm tired of having to tell you.

Given the choice between two unnecessary head gimmicks I'd choose a removable head over the ridiculous moving eyes that can barely be seen under the green eye lenses every time.

Maybe the eyes light up and the details will be better seen then?

I have a Fort and a Brave, I don't really need a Grand, I mean sure, it'd be nice, but it's just a different colour with a little Pretender shell.

But you need a Siege Jetfire.

Nah, I'd rather buy 1 Unicron instead of 7 Skyfires.

You could have 1 Unicron and 1 Skyfire. Perhaps a little of your new fiance's soul?

Unfortunately, I don't think I could get her to surrender a sliver of her soul for a Lightsaber, let along a Skyfire

after reading all 20 pages I fell like I would have been alright with just reading the first page.

Although it is a good looking figure I'll pass on it. Can I afford 1? Yeah, I probably could get the limit of 5 but that's irrelevant. I like Transformers and i enjoy collecting them. I usually transform them once or twice when I get them and then put them on a shelf. I just cant justify spending $600 on a figure that I'm more than likely going to do the same thing to. Besides, they said it took an hour to transform him. I know it was a prototype, but I'm sure people aren't going to have a race with their new $600 figure to see who gets done faster. I got annoyed at that 2007 leader optimus, I can just imagine what this figure would do to me. I have the Armada and Energon repaint and I'm just fine with them on my shelf.

Personally, as it is the 35th anniversary, I would have been happy with a G1 "reissue" style release of this guy:



Who wouldn't have need the sketchy practice of crowdfunding to begin with...

Is this the proper forum to complain about the Unicron shirts not coming in more sizes? Do they NOT know their audience?

They might do a general release toy down the line or a smaller version. If they revisited the G1 it could be a weaponiser so that Galvatron can wear his dream Unicron suit.

Not as bad as K-Mart stocking Homer Simpson dressed as Santa Claus shirts, but lacking in sizes that Homer (and myself) could wear.

Galvatron's darkest hour...





Shudder

I think it looks fetching on him plus it fitted his insanity. Scorpoknok was probably happy to get rid of the loon

That's just wrong

So I just got done listening to the newest Twincast Podcast, and was interested in what Scotty P and Megatronus were saying about it (it was also refreshing to hear people so enthusiastic about Unicron). Something interesting that they brought up about the abs, and something I agree would be cool, is potentially making them a translucent red or having some clear plastic in front of them to make it seem like they were glowing in a way reminiscent of the transformation scene from the movie

I dont agree for a permanent part. But as a swappable chest feature, why not?

Unicron needs a glowing tummy, and he needs a prison port in it with a molded in acid vat

I backed it. Primus help me .... I backed it.

I'd totally buy a G1 Unicron. I really would! It's kind bad, but it has that vintage charm. I can't see it being sold at mass retail, though. It would very much be just a collector's thing.
