The whole 3P premise their whole basis is to copy what’s been done before.
Let me guess he runs on Angelmoss energy and creates Blandtran Transfermars.

- Telescoping legs. Those are my pet peeves as on my G1 figures they've worn out on some. Hopefully they'll incorporate a locking mechanism somewhere.
- Die cast ratchets in the shoulders and waist. I get it, they're for durability, but if the ratchet is stronger than the surrounding parts and it jams up, well...
- Panels on rods, plenty of them. To me those are potential breakage points, no matter how they're justified.
In looks, the thick collar and shoulders don't really do it for me.

On the swappable maw and stand, I consider it less of a genius move and more being too clever by a half. Wonderful, it has an alternate maw that is THE maw it should have, but it's a major failure of the design that this isn't integrated from the get go, and it's an admission that the planet mode is, at its core, sub-par.
I also look warily at the telescoping legs and die cast ratchets. There's a whole lot of risk there.
The panels on rods is also disappointing. I get that it's a panel-former, but rods feel like cheating. Might as well be a parts-former.

I mean, I think the mouth isn't done as well as Haslab's, even without the rotation gimmick. But it looks really nice.
Even without pitching in for Haslabs, it just isn't enough for me to ditch my Amazon Unicron, though. Still, it's a good option.

The chasm between “screen accurate” and “screen accurate enough” is massive, much like unicron himself.

"Screen accurate enough" is what we must settle for 99% of the time. Only Galaxy Force / Cybertron actually put the TOYS themselves on screen.

Easy:
UNICRON'S ETERNAL EVIL AND INDOMITABLE WILL!
But seriously, indeed. Will there be a stand at all?

Hmmmmm…..
I greatly suspect that "Hasbro" is a bunch of frustrated fanboys making a false claim.
