Just in from Hasbro we have a video showing the step by step transformation of Unicron from demonic planet to devilish robot! The video is staring Kunihiro, Senior Product Design with TakaraTomy, this time a tad dressed down from his more formal tuxedo. It's amazing to see how they've managed to compress and fold the shell of a sphere predominantly in his legs. It truly is the cutting edge of Transformer toy engineering. Just like in the cartoon this Unicron has no precedent. There never has been and may never be another Transformers toy on this scale or with this attention to detail. Unicron definitely marks an enormous signpost on the road of the life of this brand. 2019 will forevermore be known as the year of War for Cybertron, the year of Siege, (the year of Rung) and the year of Unicron!

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! You have the power to tame the malicious maw that seeks to devour the galaxy! Show your support for this project and put in your order by clicking this link!
Enjoy the view and share your thoughts with the Seibertron crew in the forum. And as always stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

I have a feeling Hasbro might make this even if it doesnt reach the requirement. There seems to be a lot of background information surfacing on this as compared to the sail barge. Of course, I might be wrong since I didn't follow the development of that as closely as Unicron.

why that music? if they want to sell better use G1 music, such movie, or get rights to play cybertronic spree...

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

I have to be honest, watching that video made me want it less because of the sheer amount of work it takes to transform it. But I'm not a hardcore TF fan, won't ever claim to be. The cost, the wait, and really just because it's a character that I'm not really in to, I'm passing.

Not liking the the dangly rubber spike strips, kind of like hes wearing fly paper in robot mode but I guess it would be a nice anti air defence mechanism when all the flyinbg forces try to stop and end up getting stuck to them.

A lot of his poses hide them but it would have been nice if they actually went somewhere.

Now, if they can just include that rotating turntable as well so we don't have to keep taking trips walking around this figure to transform it from all sides.

we, fans, care, that background music is dissapointing for an expensive product. $1000 plus if shiped to europe

and here is a decent G1 music better than the crap they have, is 8 times longer than 30 seconds

Also, I am impressed at the fact that there's barely any parts forming. I knew there had to be some, but I did not expect it to be so minimal.

Hey, with as long as it takes to transform him, and with as many times as you have to walk around him, they are just trying to save you a gym membership ;)

I love some of the Twitter and Facebook comments where people are all like "it's too complex" or "now I see the price more, but it needs a warranty for how complex it is"

What the hell did you expect? do you see how posable it is and how the 2 modes are nothing at all alike? Wow :lol: :lol: :lol:

People are just looking for reasons to justify why they don't want him.

Or they're just lame and nitpick over the tiniest of things, take your pick.

That's been the case since day 1 and I have grown tired of it. August 31 can't happen quick enough so that we can move on from this thing and the people that don't want him (or don't want to want him) can just move onto something else.

At TFcon DC 2017, the design style of one of the third-party manufacturers was described as "explode into a million pieces chained together". That's kinda what I'm seeing in the transformation video, what with the four planet-quadrants that hang off the legs during an intermediate stage, and the entire forward midline and maw as a backpack.

The radii of the planet- and robot-mode curves are different, and the obvious solution is shellforming, but I'm disappointed that it's all via hinges and floppy swing-bars instead of sliding joints. Actually, I'm more disappointed that they didn't devise an eversion technique -- that is, the body parts turn inside-out, to reduce kibble and increase density. (Something like MP-48 Lio Convoy, whose lion head and mane swap between "organic" and "sculptural".)

Consider those flexible spike-studded equator strips, described above as "flypaper". Why not roll them onto the shoulders, where the Flory Dery model has spikes at the base of each wing? Or at worst, stuff them inside the torso? (Maybe the torso volume is reserved for light-and-sound gimmicks.)

Now I'm curious to see if one of the third-party makers comes up with a version at the (currently popular) Legends scale. "There's this tiny weird-lookin' planet shovin' up the suburbs of Cybertron." "Jazz, you're looking through the wrong end of the telescope."

Personally, I'm in a weird place with Unicron. Like, I don't want him (exclusively because of the price and space) but I understand why others do. But, I also for some reason really wish he was smaller, just so Fort Max could still have the tallest toy because that was what his toy was known for. It's such a weird nitpicky reason that I have no reason to have because I grew up with Animated and the movies, so I obviously never had the original Fort Max and thus don't have the nostalgia for owning the tallest Transformers toy ever. But every time I see a new update on Unicron I have the same feeling I get with 3rd Party figures with the "That looks awesome! Too bad I'll never be able to afford it" :lol:

1) It’s too complex.

Only problem is, Bakugan have been doing balls to robots for years now. Unicron should have been able to roll along the floor for a quick change :P and slightly leap in the air like the battle chargers (also come with a disclaimer about crushed pets or kids if the action feature is used improperly).

I hear there's a mute button on the figure so it doesn't play the music while you're transforming it.

And watching the video I have to laugh a little at the people that originally insisted this Unicron wasn't any more complex than the Armada version.

Now I want to see a video of Unicron being transformed back into planet mode and see how much time it takes to get all the panels aligned. ;)

There was people who actually thought that?

So I know a must buy, and I know a pass but what is a must pass?

Yeah, those rubber strips really hurt him imo. You can even tell they're rubber in planet mode by how they sit awkwardly. The more I see, the less I want.

They had to be rubber for safety and durability reasons, guys. Anything less flexible would either be too pokey or could snap off the figure like a twig. And that's about $600 down the drain at that point.

If we double the size, we won't have to worry about the durability of hard spikes at that point. Problem solved!

Well, if you're willing to fork over $1200 for a 54-inch-tall Unicron, then good on you. ;)^

It's that darn shot of him eating Lithone from earlier in the movie that always throws people off.

Without knowing it's not Cybertron, the movie literally opens with a scene that makes it look like Cybertron gets eaten first thing, then we have to sit through the LONG theme song title sequence before we get Victor Caroli's narration showing us that Cybertron's A-OK and what we saw before was not what we thought it was. 8-}

The transformation looks phenomenal. The movie never really showed the actual transformation past the arms swinging out. The vast majority of the scene was just random parts moving and general hand-waving. This is a masterwork of engineering.

Hasbro has just posted a video where the brand team answers questions that were asked regarding their big Unicron. As of right now there are 2,945 backers through pulse but this does not include orders from other channels yet. 8,000 orders are needed for this toy to be produced. Here is a breakdown of what we learn, of course please watch the video to see exactly what was said.

There is currently no intention on extending the deadline.

There are no lights and sounds, conversion was the most important part.

While what we have seen so far is a prototype, it is the best representation of the colour the final toy will have.

The project started over a year and a half ago.

He has six joints in each of the hands with a total of 50 articulation points.

The bot alone is 19 pounds.

He has both 5mm and 3mm ports for integration with the Siege line (and anything else that fits those measures).

You can watch the video here.

8,000 is not just the target but the minimal required to start production. It doesn't seem like we will be getting this. It will be a sad sad day next Saturday when this backed project fails to meet the quota.

Don't count your chickens before they're hatched, as said in the article, this is just based on the preorders from the Pulse site alone, and doesn't include all the other websites preorders that may be added in before the final date.

:???:
..Not really, no



0:42 Arms extend out, legs visible.

0:43 - 0:47 legs emerge

0:48 - 1:00 Forearms retract, hands emerge

1:01 - 1:11 Remaining lower torso planet kibble retracts to form crotch and reveal abs.

>Unseen< Head emerges here and rotates

1:11 - 1:14 - Upper torso kibble retracts towards the head.

^ This bit is important. Unicron is not thin, in the Movie. You could infer that with his head raised and legs extended, his body collapses down to fill that void. But not enough to streamline him.
I also say his upper kibble retracts towards his head, based on the jets that suddenly appear at his midsection on his back.

This was one of those films, for me as a little kid, that was left on to repeat endlessly. To the extent even as a 3y/o, I knew it word for word (and I did voices for everyone too). I still do :-D

Assuming of course, that the other sites will do more than equal the numbers Hasbro has via Pulse, of course. Which is a big if.

God I love that scene. I can remember being in the theater as a kid and my jaw hitting the floor. I mean Optimus dies, and yet somehow they keep upping the bar scene after scene culminating in Unicron transforming. I can remember speculating with friends I’d went with where he came from, what his origins were. Best moments of my childhood have that movie attached to them I swear. I used to watch it constantly but my kids aren’t into it and I haven’t watched it in way too long.

And I did all the voices too that’s so funny it’s how I perfected my Optimus that was so fun, man. Great times.

Well I was left wondering about the Quintessons just if there was any connection there I mean to me I was like is he their Lucifer is he older than time is he like Galactus is he the first Decepticon (???) speculation was rampant as my ma drive us home. I was very disappointed with the Primacron origin that didn’t work for me. I don’t think I was satisfied until I read the Furman origin the first time I was like THATS IT THATS THE ONE I LIKE. It just jibed with my kid comic book reader mentality.

God...”you underestimate me...” and I was like what? What’s he...? Is that? NO, no way! So much awesome. And before knowing Rodimus Prime happened, not knowing how they’d win against this thing. I was too young to wait on the McGuffin you know? No idea Rod would open the Matrix. And I’ll be honest everyone, cried. L’il bit, just l’il bit. L’il Stargrave teared up when the Matrix opened and I got to hear Optimus one more time. Hell it gets me misty now and I’m a grown a$$ man :lol: won’t even lie.

Yes, whatever Unicron Fan Theories existed (pre-Furman, of course) NO ONE would have predicted... The Monkey :roll:

Apparently an unused idea from the Movie would have been the Quintesson court was connected to Unicron. That they hunted down the survivors and put them on "trial". Which actually gives what they are doing in the final release some context. I think they should have gone with this link, personally.
