Can't wait to get my hands on this. Based on your comparison pics, I feel this is THE definitive version of Unicron. So stoked for this!

I say "bogus" to both assertions. The Takara one is pro-Robot Mode, while the Hasbro one is pro-Planet Mode. Takara's Robot Mode looks amazing, while its Planet mode looks bland and uninteresting. Hasbro's Planet Mode, however, looks spot on and exceptionally good, while its Robot Mode looks too flashy and overdone.

If one has the Takara one, display him in his glorious Robot Mode. If one has the Hasbro one, show off his awesome Planet Mode.

I had a really hard time photographing his eyes lighting up for some reason. Normally I can always get a shot but for some reason this was the best shot I could get of it in action. If you look in the corner of his left eye, you can see the red light barely.

Is there something in particular that you want to know about his light up features? It's still using the red lights so nothing different from previous releases.

I WANT!! I WANT!! I WANT!! I WANT!! I WANT!! I WANT!! I WANT!! I WANT!! I WANT!! ONLY problem for me right now is that I have next to no money right now, unless someone out there with a kind heart wants to get it for me. :sad:

WANT!

Mine just came in the mail today! It's not every day you get a planet in the mail....and get to open it on your birthday.

Excellent figure. I have the Armada version, but this one just takes the cake.

Thanks for that, that's all I wanted to know. I thought they were going to give him glowing GREN Eyes. oh well...Red is just SOOOO much easier to come by, why bother?

Drooling all over here. I just hope Amazon will have some stock by the time I go on vacation to the States (how many times have I said that already?)

And I adore the box art! And his bio, so grim, way too grim for a kid.

Mr. Sebertron, in your opinion, which version of this is the better one? What are some strengths and weaknesses of each and how much of a deterrent are the weaknesses?

Sun Sep 04, 2011 8:20 am

I got the Takara and Armada versions. I hope by 2012 this one ends up in Marshalls or TJ Maxx. Then Ill buy it.

Sun Sep 04, 2011 8:40 am

For once,Hasbro made a figure better then takara!

Sun Sep 04, 2011 8:57 am

CAN"T WAIT TILL THIS HITS COSTCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEED :grin:

!

News Credits: 3 · Sun Sep 04, 2011 9:10 am

that thing looks so friggin boss, I say it blows the takara one right outta the water! Now if only the costco canada exclusive rumour turns out to be fact... and, y'know, I can get to a costco... with someone who has a membership... and I have money... this is not an inspiring set of variables.

I totally agree about the bio. It's excellent. I'd even go as far to say it's the best one they've ever written for a TF. I'm sure anybody would be hard pressed to find one that tops it.

It fascinates me that the fandom is even discussing this. Just goes to show that you can't please all of the people all of the time. I think the Hasbro version wins hands down without a doubt. Is it perfect? No, but it's close. Does it have a few things I would've done differently? Sure. But it's leaps and bounds better than the orange sherbet Takara 2010 version which I am still sorely disappointed with.

The nice thing about Unicron is that we've got four different versions to choose from to please just about everyone's tastes.
