Takara Transformers 2010 Unicron has been released in Japan as well as Asian countries since last weekend.

Singaporean Transformers collector - rainingstorm is kind enough to share her latest haul on Transformers 2010 Unicron and allowed the Seibertron News Crew - Mach to take photos on it.

This is a repaint version of Armada Unicron (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... icron/163/) with a brand new head sculpt, to closely match his Generations 1 counterpart.

Ok, I'm excited to see this coming around now. Looks good. Kind of unfortunate to see his parts dumped unceremoniously in a bad there.

Shipping this puppy will be interesting for a lot of folks. That's going to be one big box delivered to my office.

Me too. There is just way to many new releases (TF and non-TF) right now, which are "must haves". Maybe I shouldn't have bought a new car in the spring..?

Yes, toy box itself is HUGE..... So pretty costly I guess to ship this monster...

Looks great. Was a tad concerned from the previous over-contrasted photos, but seeing the real deal has put those to rest for good. Thanks for sharing!

Can't wait for this to arrive

That's really nice. I wish I could get that, but it's bit much for me right now.

As much as I've enjoyed the Armada Unicron, seeing this in all of it's glory makes me wish I could get my hands on it.

Not too shabby!

I'll actually be in Singapore in a few weeks. Wonder if this will fit in an overhead bin on the plane?

I really hope they release this state side.

Epic. But I can stick to Armada Unicron. Looks awesome though.

Thts the way unicron is supposed to be !!! Glad I pre-ordered him. A bit costly, but this is my childhood dream were talking about. After seeing this version, I am just not satisfied with my Universe version that resembles Armada Unicron where he plays the role of a lifeless being that sucks up power.

by **Lackadaisical** » Mon Sep 20, 2010 10:47 am

I'll be beaten but 2 me the Armada Unicron (which is the one I have) is as good as this one can gets to be. But sure if one doesn't have it, can hopefully feel this is a G1 hommage and find there reasons to get it. Too sad is the packaging, doesn´t make any justice to the figure, nor provides a decent display box, that's another low, even when my Unicron's box ended up as my cats' meditation room

But, as almost anything released this year, I'd love to get them, and maybe I would if I had more room to put another freaking giant planet. And off course if it were cheaper.

Do mine eyes deceive me or doth he have green eyes instead of red? :shock:

I couldn't bring myself to keep the pre-order I had on BBTS, I just can't justify spending $150+ on a $50 figure which I already have multiples of, even if it has a shiny new coat of paint on it. I rather put that money towards a new mold/figure like MP Rodimus or the PG Strike Freedom Gundam that was just announced.

I'm rather annoyed, only because I was lead to believe that there would be a new headsculpt that was closer to the animation model

I know the difference is a bit hard to tell, but they're there:

- Armada Unicron's head is more angular, and has the dot in the middle of the helmet
- 2010 Unicron's head has more smooth curvy lines.
