Planet Mode
- Convert and bring forth the terrifying planet mode of Unicron, a stunning 30” in diameter.
- His iconic planet-eating jaws are geared to open so the vicious Planet Eater can devour unassuming worlds.
- The Chaos Bringer's imposing presence is amplified by his massive posable planetary rings.
- To support the substantial weight of the approximate 19-pound villainous planet, Unicron requires a custom stand.
- Do not be fooled. The premium detail and deco are, indeed, inspired by classic 1986 movie, but it is not, in fact, The Lord of Chaos himself.
No real surprises in the video, but it is fairly awe inspiring seeing a person standing next to the massive planet and knowing that could potentially be in your home in 2021! I'm still trying to wrap my head around those finger-thick rings!
Below you'll find all of the HasLab Unicron videos posted on Hasbro Pulse thus far and a selection of screen grabs from the latest video. There's still just slightly over 12 days remaining to the crowdfund with numbers sitting at 2,747 backers at the time of writing. There's still plenty of time for backers to join and the numbers likely do not reflect international and third party orders yet.

Yeah, it took me a moment to figure out that that they mean it's a super high detailed toy and not the real Unicron. Super awkward thing to put in there.

It's not "likely", it's a known fact that the number doesn't include all international orders.

Just the affiliated international orders, we don't know what the domestic and international third party shops are doing. They could be waiting until the end to submit their orders or they could be placing the 5 unit maximum as they reach them, we don't know hence the "likely".

Which is why I intentionally left out third party shops.

Considering this is meant to be the best version anything after this is going to be a compromise of sorts. They don't have an easy task to turn a perfect sphere into a G1 accurate robot mode. Armada cheated with the planet shells while Primus got the benefit of being designed to take into account the planet pieces (if he happened in G1 toon, his planet pieces would have disappeared perfectly as well)

Don't spend a lot of time looking at your signature do you?

Wherein your altmode doesn't just determine your outer shell, but is reflected throughout your entire aesthetic. Some characters have mouths, teeth, no mouths, no eyes etc But as long as it is consistent with their overall design

I agree with this. This was essentially called our Masterpiece Unicron. We won't get any better than this

I get it, but for me downsizing would actually be a big improvement, I really just don't care for him to be this big, the same way that I don't care that MP-10 is smaller than MP-1 was. Unicron won't scale with anything so it doesn't matter to me. Surely they can use what they've learned to make a solid similar robot mode and planet mode, maybe without the stand and some articulation/feature loss, but good-looking all the same. Just look how far we've come with some of the Masterpiece characters who have had multiple iterations, or the hundreds of movie prime iterations for example. This will be the best Unicron for some people, but for me there's room for improvement.

You and me both, brother.

Man, this thing is way more involved in its transformation than the Armada Unicron mold. So many little pieces and parts moving to all sorts of places.

The Chaos Bringer, the darkest of dark ones is just under 3,000 orders currently out of the minimum of 8,000 with only ten more days to go. Even Unicron needs help sometimes!

It’s just background music who cares and if I had to listen to the g1 theme which is 30 seconds long 6 times for over 5 minutes I’d slit my wrists
