There can still a new Primus without it needing to be as big as Unicron was (or needing to be a HasLab release). Just redeco Kingdom Rodimus in gold and make it a "David vs. Goliath" type rivalry where size doesn't matter. That toy even comes with the Sword of Primus.o.supreme wrote:BUT... I really want it to be Primus so Unicron has a proper rival...If that makes sense.

Perhaps they can justify $700 for a Primus toy as a companion piece for Unicron. Perhaps not. I guess we'll find out in a little under a week.

True enough. But the line is doing what ita supposed to. Introducing every era and continuity to every fan, young and old.And, well, we're currently in an age where half the Legacy line is full of characters most fans are only barely familiar with.
Not so in the final US version of his origin. He was primarily yellow/gold.Rodimus Prime wrote:In the UK maybe.

Ok, fair enough. I remembered that rendering having more red on him. I guess it's time to go back and read the Titan TPBs again.

While in his only UK origin, he (and Unicron, too) was like if someone took all of Rodimus's colors and put them in a blender.
I had no idea this existed, I've never seen it before.Then, when an avatar of Primus appeared in the BotCon 2000 comic (which Furman wrote with Marvel G1 canon in mind), it was fully solid gold/yellow.
It was probably this other (faceless) US version of the origin you had in mind:Rodimus Prime wrote:Ok, fair enough. I remembered that rendering having more red on him. I guess it's time to go back and read the Titan TPBs again. It's been a while.

DeathReviews wrote:F'eh. I haven't seen any HasLab projects that have motivated me to invest. Generally they're too expensive, too big, too fussy. There's not enough to motivate me into giving Hasbro what amounts to a massive, two-year, interest-free loan.
Now, if they make a mea culpa announcement like: "Loyal customers: We apologize for totally screwing everything up with Deluxe Cosmos, Leader Snarl, Centurion Drone, and a bunch of other figures. We failed our customers, we failed you, we failed everybody. It was all our fault and we were a bunch of stupid, moron idiots. We hereby announce that we are making more of these figures, and promise to make enough to satisfy the demand that we artificially created because of our dumb decisions. Those figures are now available on Pulse in sufficient quantities, order now."
THAT would be an announcement worth listening to.
Marvel Cybertron is Saturn-sized.Emerje wrote:I've read that since Unicron and Cybertron initially inhabited asteroids (in the Marvel comic canon) rather than planets they probably aren't much bigger than the largest known asteroids, around 1000km in diameter. (Earth is nearly 13,000km, the moon is over 3,000km.)

This really makes you wonder how exactly Unicron planned to eat Cybertron. Did he just eat smaller planets?
And just how tiny was the planet Lithone?

For a time, I considered sparing your wretched little planet, Cybertron. But now, you shall witness... its DISMEMBERMENT.

I've even used this example myself in other threads on other forums. But yeah... I just figure it was an issue of scale. But it does make you question this famous quote:For a time, I considered sparing your wretched little planet, Cybertron. But now, you shall witness... its DISMEMBERMENT.
Maybe the "little" was more figurative than literal? Trying to deepen Galvatrons dread that he done messed up.

Probably closer to $700, but that would seem to be ideal.
Maybe Unicron & Primus both mass shift (shrink) in Robot mode removing some of the empty cavernous space they have as planets
