That looks like a mess and a half. Glad they abandoned it,not everything needs a city mode!

I really really like the idea of it but yeah, overall that's a bit of a mess. Some fun concepts though that hopefully carry over.ZeroWolf wrote:That looks like a mess and a half. Glad they abandoned it,not everything needs a city mode!

I think this is a case of trying to compensate for the inherent scale issues by introducing a play pattern that would've just made said scale issues even harder to ignore. Vicious circle. I just hope no one breaks their $600 toy trying to get it into this mode if the finished product can't even do it anyway.
Still, if it means they worked his monitor/brain into the final design, then maybe it was worth considering.

It reminds me of the Chaos Marine buildings in Dawn of War. Would have opened up some head canon options, e.g., Unicron's spirit jumping to an ancient temple devoted yo him, and transforming it into a new body. I like the grabber claw over the maw, and would have been interested in seeing this thing next to the upcoming Quintesson figures.

You’re Insane. That thing looks like a cityscape straight out of Hell which is appropriate for who it is. If that was done I woulda gone in and done the crowdfund

That looks less like a city and more like a partially transformed Unicron.

I kinda like the city mode, hopefully if they ever do a titan class Unicron it has the bonus city mode.

This is exactly what I was hoping for with a detailed interior. I’m glad they are putting this much thought into it. Hopefully some of these concepts will be retained so that there may be play areas you can expose with the TVs or defenses or acid vat. Really great to see this. I hope they keep it up with the fun reveals to keep us going through the year as we wait.

As dumb as the concept of Unicron having a city mode is, that is probably the coolest city mode I’ve ever seen.

For me, while it is a bit of a mess. It looks like a Cyber-Doom Level. I so can see this
being a Hell Mouth style level in a game.

Guys... That city mode... is like something straight out of the old 3H Universe comics from OTFCC 2003, resembling the hellish landscape of Unicron's interior, right down to Unicron's maw being used as the Pit!

Man, I'm sad that got canned. That looks really, really cool, as mentioned has very 40K Chaos vibes.

I really like the concept, I really like the "city" mode because seems to me like a judgement pit for Quintessons and all the "city" in very quintesson style with spikes and details everywhere but... I see the entire structure and I just can't stop thinking that looks like a pregnant woman in childbirth

Aw man. It also just dawned on me the play value of being able to have the maw eat something, then it come OUT somewhere and continue through his bowels. That's a lot of play value there.

Well that's an image that's now stuck in my head...
Also remember, these images weren't from Hasbro but the Generations 2020 book that's out in Japan, hence we we have no idea what the text says along with it, as we need someone to translate it.

There is some seriously awesome potential there. The first thing I thought when I saw this was: "that is some seriously metal design!"

Wow, that's really cool looking, but probably best they scrapped the idea. I'm of the mindset to do one thing and do it well.Bounti76 wrote:

This just goes right along with what I've been saying the whole time. Haslab should have made Metroplex not Unicron. I would have backed Metroplex.

They already made a Unicron (a damn good one too) but that didn't stop them with this, did it?
