Thanks to Weibo we get a look at an upcoming Generation 1 style Unicron Table lamp. This lamp which is made by Soldier Story Toys features a magnificent large luxury collection of lights and a lighting and projector remote control which features logo projection. Although billed as a table lamp, this seems more like a light up statue. The lamp also features a smaller Hot Rod holding up the Matrix. There is no mention of price but it is set for release in the second quarter of 2017 and as always keep it here at Seibertron.com for more news on this piece as well as for all your Transformers news.

Actually, That's a really nice sculpt. Like the high Dracula collar.

You know what? I wouldn't mind this being my representation of Unicron for the display. It's beautiful!!

I'm guessing somewhere in the "more than I'd like to pay" price-range..the only thing close to a lamp that I had similar was that 25th anniversary Mega Man statue. That I unboxed, turned on, realized I had no where to put it, re-boxed, and sold it within a few weeks :lol:

That was $100 bucks, totally worth it. It was simple though. This'll be $200+ and super fancy!

Anyone else think Rodimus shoulda been tiny? I think he shoulda been tiny. It would cut the price down by $30 :lol:

I'm rewatching Unicron stuff right now, he really was scaled all over the place :lol:

I was so busy looking at 'Cron's bitchin' head sculpt, I didn't even see Roddy. Well that's cool!

This lamp, even though it doesn't transform, look a lot more like unicron than any of the toys they've tried to make...

Looks like a cross between the new Platinum Edition Unicron's box art and this old Unicron statue:

budmaloney wrote:but but he's not a Decepticon

Pretty much every Unicron toy released by Hasbro since the Cybertron line has been marketed as a Decepticon, most likely for brand consistency (i.e. - the Decepticons are the evil guys, Unicron is an evil guy, therefore Unicron is sold as a Decepticon).

Tiny or not included. Since he is included it creates an unrealistic scale. Which creates disappointment (for me).

Still has dem wants doe!

I just don't get why he's included. You've got this fantastic sculpt of an iconic character, then you have this little version of the guy who destroyed him. WTF?

And not even a properly scaled version at that ;)^

I would hope he'd be removable. I can nearly overlook the price of it but that ... bleh. Really off-putting.

I finally got a chance to look at that thing on a larger screen and just dayum :shock:

With all them ditty dots of light I bet a corner display would look super cool, or even better yet higher up towards the ceiling. Hot Rod, I can ignore, but that projector is just silly. Seems like you can have it off though.

So what's the price speculation? I'm afraid to even toss out a number I'd be willing to sell a kidney for yet.

Re: New Generation 1 Unicron Lamp Revealed (1858310)
Posted by Sigma Magnus on February 9th, 2017 @ 4:33pm CST

Judging from one of the pics, Hot Rod can be elevated on a translucent rod, so I'm guessing that he can also be removed entirely.

Re: New Generation 1 Unicron Lamp Revealed (1858313)
Posted by Cobotron on February 9th, 2017 @ 4:43pm CST

Yes. Judging by this shot...

...Hot Rod and his translucent rod can be removed.

If you mean G1 Unicron, then yes, of course it does since they have never made a real effort to make that toy. The toys are all of Armada Unicron, a couple uses just happened to get a new headsculpt and some paint but they're still, deep down, Armada Unicron.

Thank you, ScottyP ;)^

You laughed out loud, I said the quote aloud in my best Leonard Nemoy Galvatron voice with co-workers present :lol:

Funny side story, that lead in to a discussion of voice acting and how many things Frank Welker has been associated with!

Back on track, what is this "projector" ability I've heard mention of? Haven't really seen it in action yet have we?

Because it's not that cool, maybe?
An image of him in planet mode, or even Cybertron would of been cooler.
Still an impressive sculpture.

In planet mode would've been logical, the statue is awesome and so is the lighting minus the projector function. Kinda sad it's a feature I wouldn't use

So is that projection of the Decepticon symbol a feature of this lamp, or is it from another, less (but still a little) awesome lamp? Please reply (I would like a reply even if you don't know, because I want to see if I get some kind of notification; I've never received one before, and I'm not sure if it even happens on this site, so I'm curious). :BLEND:

It's from this lamp. Back in the original post and photos you can see it, it had to be pointed out to me as well!

Hello!

So, while you are on the site and you want to see notifications, first you click on anyone's username right below their profile pic. At the middle of the next screen, there will be a dark gray band that has 'User control board' highlighted in blue on it. click there. In the overview section of your user control board is a 'Manage Subscriptions' tab. click that. Anything with a red highlight is new to you and if you click little notepad at the top left of the name of the thread, it will take you to the first unread post.

Either that, or you can set up the profile to send notifications to an email, if that helps!

That's how I have it set up already, though. The problem that I'm having with it however, is that while it does send me to the topic, it does not send me to my comment and its replies, but rather to the replies of the topic of the transformers-related news that I clicked on to begin with. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I don't know. Thanks for replying, by the way.

Looks kinda fun if a bit delicate - I would have preferred him in planet mode though.
