They confirmed months ago that they weren't bringing Breakdown or Unicron (or Ironhide, or Jet Vehicon :-( ) stateside. Remember?


I am glad I got mine on pre-order. I am actually starting to get concerned with Hasbro releases, and the new materials they are using for (safety reasons). What has become of the U.S. where we are so obsessed with safety and regulations. I was really surprised when I saw that Voyager Dreadwing has floppy rubber tail wings, and knee caps and even his head is a just a thicker piece of rubber... :-( :-( ... I am glad that this is a Takara only release. If it was a Hasbro release too, we would have a suck ass toy with rubber head/horns, and shoulder horns, with a big ugly safety pamphlet inside saying try not to poke your eye out kid. :BOOM: ...
I know these toys are mainly for kids, but I am pretty sure Japan has kids too. They just give them a little more credit for not being complete dumb asses and stabbing themselves with a fricken toy....lol


Uh...Takara's releases are getting sloppy too.

Their Dreadwing? Same materials. Look at their promo pics, you can see his one tail fin bending ever so slightly.
Breakdown? Thin plastic and hollow limbs. (Doesn't make him less of a badass though...)
Unicron's probably hard plastic due to the design requirements, but I wouldn't be surprised if they end up giving us more and more of what Hasbro would. Rubbery junk and all.


Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that we've seen Arms Micron Dreadwing yet.


Unfortunately, you're wrong. Here's proof: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/images/pr ... K11497.jpg (look at how the tailfin bends ever so slightly.)

I'm liking the gold metallic finish on some of it's articulations.

On a side note, does it come with the girls in the top image? ;)

Volcano with Unicron's face on it, similar to what happened in the show. :D


Okay, I get it. Does the volcano go OM NOM NOM and eat stuff?


No, because he doesn't do that in Prime. :-)


I know. I like Unicron the most when he eats stuff. Anyways, I think his chest looks out of place because of his chrome limbs.


Oh boo-hoo being green. It's not easy being chrome. ;)

(u c wut i did ther?)


When was Unicron green? (flashback to energon) Oh yeah. :-(

Missed the point of his joke.



And Unicron was black in Energon.

Armada had a giant green doppelganger of Unicron that was green: the Hikari no Unicron. But that was just a giant mass of energized Mini-Cons and not Uni himself. :grin:

Where were you when we last saw pics of this toy? He turns into a volcano, okay? :roll:


So in other words, it's a STEAMING pile of Dog S**t!

This has to be one of the fugliest transformers I've ever laid eyes on and that's saying something considering how much of a crap fest I consider the last 5 years of the TF lines (outside of most of Generations) to be.

Then don't transform it. He doesn't transform in-show anyway.

Unicron does have the nice chrome and all, but if only he had a larger size.

Takara, could you make a larger version of Unicron (at least the size of MP-01/02/04 and MP-05?

Seeing how popular Unicron is, here are a couple of new images of the Chaos Bringer in robot mode courtesy of TF YUKI's twitter feed. The figure is schedule to release along with Arms Micron Ironhide at the end of the month. Images mirrored below.

The Chaos Bringer has a similar torso to Megatron.

I'm still buying him.

He's got a simaler built to megatron period. look at his feet too.
I doubt this is a retool of any kind, but a kitbasher could make unicron from megatron if they wanted.

The more I see of Unicron the more the vac-metal parts remind me of the Dinozone figures.
