You will be Able to Add a (smaller non transforming) G1 Prototype Unicron Toy to Your Collection

This is incredible but I have to admit it does feel a little off this Unicron is being done by a company that's not Hasbro.

So, Action Master Unicron...HOLDING A GUN, no less! Ever since I got Action Master Bumblebee and Devastator and had them duke it out when I was 12, I've had a sort of long-running fever-dream that if the U.S. G1 line had continued into 1992 instead of pausing before G2, Hasbro would've produced this very toy.

I mean, who/what is he going to shoot with that thing? Tornadron? (If it's an energy-draining de-kineto blaster) Eternity? The Living Planet? Those assume TF Marvel Continuity never totally splintered off from the Marvel Universe...

...Oh right, continuity splinters! After his third attack on Cybertron in Aspects of Evil Part 5, he came back in an even smaller body to go on a shooting spree right after Peace, reuniting the warring Autobots against a common enemy, then realized Peace was just the future of Earth Force continuity and fled to Japan, where he hid inside that Beast Wars Neo toy, trapped temporarily when it was cancelled...

...but only until an all new TF comic universe came into existence for him to devour, so he came back in an even smaller form...

...Pat Lee. And this absurd ReAction figure tells the whole story, better than any "Ultimate". Well done, Super 7.

Not that I'm knocking the gun, per se. It makes more sense than that one Frieza toy that came with a machine gun.

Am I the only one who always thought The Revenge looked like it had previously doubled as Unicron's handgun, even before the combining rail gun gimmick with Kingdom Galvatron?
Okay, I'll get off this...

Dang, each new ReAction wave has even more figures I'm going to have to make exceptions for. And if I end up going back to complete earlier waves on the secondary market, ugh...

An interesting, deep fans-service of a decision.

FYI, Unicron's gun is based on an early concept where the figure would come with a stand that transformed into a blaster.

Indeed. Still hold out the faintest hope, this Unicron will see a "release" in the G1 Reissue line, some day.

I am mad the quintesson is not a six inch. That would have been cool. I need an inexpensive quintesson.

never mind then....

Because then he'd be the same size as Devastator and Unicron. They only reserve the 6" for the really giant characters.

Uh… he’s 6 inches tall.

Was referring to this guy:



Not the Super7 figure.

As far as we're aware of his intended size:

Personally, I don't think there is a need for HasLab-Greed.



Remaking this mold wouldn't exactly cost the Earth today. As mentioned earlier, he could easily be sold under the reissue banner in G1 packaging. For potentially the price of a Devastator boxset. As he should have been all those years ago.

Ah, my mistake then.

Are you saying devastator and unicron being the same size is good scale?
