The Energon Pub

This guy is the same as 2010 Unicron, the paint job is totally superior to any of the earlier releases but if you have him already, there is no point in picking him up (unless you sell the old one to make space because who wants two figures this size that are the exact same, but you'd struggle to recoup even $30 for him now).

2010 Unicron was a great buy, absolutely pissed all over Energon or Armada.

He looks good, really epic, but pretty similar in robot mode. The only real improvement is in planet mode, and who's going to display him like that? I still want to pick up the Cybertron version for much cheaper

I plan to display him in planet mode, getting punched by Unicron.

Nah, I own all of them. 2010 Unicron looks great, but isn't superior to the previous versions, especially not Energon.

I stand corrected. That will look pretty amazing, come to think of it.

If you're talking about his planet mode, I'd agree entirely. Should you be speaking of his robot mode, I disagree completely. The robotic mode has been doused with blue, even down to his hands and forearm guns, sadly. Its far from something superior, in that respect. And it confuses me a bit. Someone mentioned earlier the fact these 2010 figures are getting a real G1 overhaul, but in Primus' case it seems only present in planet mode, his robot form getting a dumbed down treatment of his Cybertron colors. I mean, the gray of the world aspects on this figure look great, give it almost a Dreamwave treatment. But for his colored-otherwise parts, I'd have prefered a take on pre-Cybertron-entity Primus meets what little aspects of Primus we viewed off of his panels in Generation 1 comics. THAT would have been more fitting.

Looks better but I still like how I painted mine.

I agree 100%. I just can't get the fcat that the colors from the magazine scans in robot mode had his head and chest the same blue as the hands and fore arms. When I see this now it seems the figure's repaint focus was more in tuned to the planet mode, and not the robot. The blue would have igven him a new distinct look. I want that so much to go in contrast to Pumpkin Patch Unicron.

However, I know some sill get what is going on with the repaint and like it. Maybe Ryan will get a hold of it and take pics comparing the two.

...We are? Boy, am I stupid or what?

Looks cool, but other than the planet surface in that nice shiny silver there's nothing here compelling me to buy him considering I already have the Cybertron version.

Agree to disagree. The blue and silver/grey on this guy look awesome. He looks like a real collector's piece unlike the previous version whose paint job (like the previous unicrons) just made him look too much like a kid's toy for me (and one with way too many colours/unnecessary details on his paint job). 2010 wins.

I'm torn on the color scheme, actually. I really like the darker colors a lot - but I HATE the fact that they made his whole arms & hands blue. I think the blue/grey/black combo of the arms on the first one looked great. Oh well, if I ever see 2010 Unicron & Primus on clearance, I'll get them. Like that will ever happen.
