Thanks to Weibo we get a look at an upcoming Generation 1style Unicron Table lamp. This lamp which is made by Soldier Story Toys features a magnificent large luxury collection of lights. The lamp also features a smaller Rodimus Prime holding upt the Matrix. There is no mention of a release date but keep it here at Seibertron.com for more news on this piece as well as for all your Transformers news.

Actually, That's a really nice sculpt. Like the high Dracula collar.

You know what? I wouldn't mind this being my representation of Unicron for the display. It's beautiful!!

...while I don't think it would actually provide a lot of illumination...holy SCRAP that looks awesome!! Any idea on a price?

I'm guessing somewhere in the "more than I'd like to pay" price-range..the only thing close to a lamp that I had similar was that 25th anniversary Mega Man statue. That I unboxed, turned on, realized I had no where to put it, re-boxed, and sold it within a few weeks

That was $100 bucks, totally worth it. It was simple though. This'll be $200+ and super fancy!

Anyone else think Rodimus shoulda been tiny? I think he shoulda been tiny. It would cut the price down by $30

I'm rewatching Unicron stuff right now, he really was scaled all over the place

I was so busy looking at 'Cron's bitchin' head sculpt, I didn't even see Roddy. Well that's cool!

I don't normally go for statues, but...

This lamp, even though it doesn't transform, look a lot more like unicron than any of the toys they've tried to make...

OMG! That is beautiful! That lamp will be mine!

but but he's not a Decepticon

Looks like a cross between the new Platinum Edition Unicron's box art and this old Unicron statue:

Pretty much every Unicron toy released by Hasbro since the Cybertron line has been marketed as a Decepticon, most likely for brand consistency (i.e. - the Decepticons are the evil guys, Unicron is an evil guy, therefore Unicron is sold as a Decepticon).

I want it!

It makes me want to rip apart Ultra Magnus, and every other Autobot, until the Matrix has been destroyed!!


Wait..what?!

That thing will look so cool, but I'm betting it's incredibly expensive!

Not included would be even better.

Tiny or not included. Since he is included it creates an unrealistic scale. Which creates disappointment (for me).

Still has dem wants doe!

I just don't get why he's included. You've got this fantastic sculpt of an iconic character, then you have this little version of the guy who destroyed him. WTF?

Touche salesman.

And not even a properly scaled version at that

Hot Rod holding the Matrix makes me want just a Matrix lamp.

I would hope he'd be removable. I can nearly overlook the price of it but that ... bleh. Really off-putting.

I finally got a chance to look at that thing on a larger screen and just dayum

With all them ditty dots of light I bet a corner display would look super cool, or even better yet higher up towards the ceiling. Hot Rod, I can ignore, but that projector is just silly. Seems like you can have it off though.

So what's the price speculation? I'm afraid to even toss out a number I'd be willing to sell a kidney for yet.

Judging from one of the pics, Hot Rod can be elevated on a translucent rod, so I'm guessing that he can also be removed entirely.

Yes. Judging by this shot...



...Hot Rod and his translucent rod can be removed.
