With regards to the stand, I don't think the final figure will need the stand to stand up in robot mode, it's just that this is a prototype that is probably less sturdy and less finished than the final figure, and it's displayed where hundreds if not thousands of people will be walking around near it constantly vibrating the ground, so it needs support to stay standing.
Oh, rest assured, even if I were to scrounge up the money for this bad boy, I wouldn't be replacing either my Armada or Amazon Unicrons. In fact, I'd actually like to get my hands on both the Energon and Takara 2010 Unicrons and have all four Supreme class Unicrons in robot mode positioned underneath this Unicron in planet mode as though they were all trying to hold up this big one like so:Hellscream9999 wrote:So finally chiming in, even if unicron is in my top 3 fave characters, I find myself feeling nothing towards this figure; even if I had the money and patience, I have so many important memories towards the armada figure being my first 'big' purchase as a child that I could never replace it in my heart; but this thing definitely rocks

How did things turn out for the Jabba sail barge? Did they make more of that or just the initial number?-Kanrabat- wrote:ZeroWolf wrote:I don't think there will be another unicron at this level
This make me wonder. Will the units produced be limited at the initial 8K+ backed, or will they make more afterward?

ummmm...that's exactly what it means. It's just Hasbro's version of a Kickstarter.
What has me curious, because he's not getting a retail release, does he still fall under all the toy production rules? Does he have to pass a drop test etc?
