[GMfan]

[GMfan]

....it'll be in Japanese retail....maybe it'll be at TFcon if it's out before then....but only at TFcon? I don't see how considering it isn't our exclusive.

[Ultra Maverick]

Well, I figure it's about time I finnally picked up one of the Unicron figures, and I think this is the one to get.

Glad I waited!

[Prowl_2009]

I am certainly considering grabbing this bad boy! :D Now I am really not sorry I passed on the Universe version from last year. :D

[-KG-]

I was afraid of this. He looks pretty good. I may have to buy this one to replace the Armada one.

[Stapler]

It looks great but I'm going to have to stick with my Universe repack of Armada's version. I just can't justify myself spending the money to get this (wonderful looking) repaint when I'm perfectly happy with the one I already have. But now a part of me is wishing Hasbro waited for this version to release as a TRU exclusive. Aw well... it happens.

[pulsedragon20]

Looks very good!

[jjwankenobi]

Oh frak...looks like my plan to stop collecting Transformers is going down the pooper now.

Note to self: Establish your limits! You're not obliged to get Primus if you buy a TakTomy Unicron.

Maybe this means Armada/Energon Unicrons will be cheaper to buy now?

[Pascal]

Release is scheduled for September, so he won't be out in time for TFcon.

I'm tempted...

[crimbot]

Anyone else still waiting for th BW Neo Unicron to show up? haha. I guess I'll resume holding my breath:)
This guy does look pretty darn good...

[Darth Grimlock]

This is awesome...glad I went out on a limb and already pre-ordered this badboy.....

Now bring on MP Roddy and the 2010 collection will be complete.

[Pascal]

Anyone else still waiting for th BW Neo Unicron to show up?

Me! :( One day... And I also hope we get an Encore G1 Unicron (from the real G1 prototype) one day. That would rock.

[Protoman]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

[Mighty_Galvatron]

What's with all the dissing of Armada Unicron?

Oh, and after seeing this pic...SOLD!

[Tekkamanraiden]

Very nice.

[Mighty_Galvatron]

Hey I just noticed that his "wings" are orange - is this accurate to G1?

[Matrix_Holder]

I am so going to get this guy. I like the armada one but this one is absolutely perfect. takara is going to put me in the poor house. lol.

[Cheers Ian]

Is that a new head?

Looks much better than the Hasbro version. I might finally buy a Unicron now.

Cheers!
-Ian

[blitz]

Damn, I was hoping that I wouldn't want to buy this but now I might want too.

[Magnimus]

Am I crazy, or is there a brand new neck swivel join shown in that picture?

Can the head turn or is this just photoshop tomfoolery?

[Tekkamanraiden]

No it looks like it can turn.

[onecoin]

I can't enjoy this toy anymore. All I see see now is spare parts for making custom gestalts.

[Nocturn]

The head... could always turn

[MeisterJ4zz]

Hey I just noticed that his "wings" are orange - is this accurate to G1?

I checked out screencaps of the 1986 movie and he does have orange wings.

I so want this Henkei version! The new head looks dot on for movie accuracy, although his eyes should be green but that's a minor thing to me.

[Dark Rage]

It's just missing

Happy Hallowe'en

[Magnimus]

The head... could always turn

LOL Oh man, do I feel stupid. I never knew that. I've had Unicron all this time and never attempted to turn the head because I didn't think there was a joint there as a result of the electronics.

*face palm*

[UltraPrimal]

LOL Oh man, do I feel stupid. I never knew that. I've had Unicron all this time and never attempted to turn the head because I didn't think there was a joint there as a result of the electronics.

*face palm*
That reminds me of a song...

"You spin my head right round, right round
When you go down, when you go down down..."

[SleeplessKnight]

Oh crap! I want this. I NEED this! And I already have two the the Armada ones. Yes I'm addicted to plastic.
lol

[Mumps]

Dammit... the pre-orders for this are now sold out everywhere! Anybody know of a reliable site that still has one up? Automaton is sold out, so is BBTS and TFSource.

[Mighty_Galvatron]

Yeah they are indeed orange! Huh, I really would have never guessed. Orange seemed off to me, but I guess it ain't! Strange as I've seen the movie like 50+ times you would think I'd know this.

[Mumps]

And HLJ is NOT getting this item... gah!

[Ultra Maverick]

Ordered mine the other day from Automaton.
I buckled, I tried to hold out but after reviewing the pictures I had to order him.

[Mighty_Galvatron]

Pre-orders sold out, I would not worry - I am positive the bigger stores will get more in as the Chaos Bringer draws nearer.

[Code of Honor]

Shame Hasbro probably won't bring this here. I really like the look of the figure, just don't like that they kept the right hand transparent, didn't like that on the original either.

[Mighty_Galvatron]

Same here. Never liked that dirty hand of his.

[Megamould]

Dammit... the pre-orders for this are now sold out everywhere! Anybody know of a reliable site that still has one up? Automaton is sold out, so is BBTS and TFSource.

Robotkingdom still has some available, seems like the only one!

[Mumps]

Yeah, I pre-ordered from Robot Kingdom.

Here is what HLJ told me,

"Sorry, that's going to be a special event-only item, and we won't be able to get it...as much as we'd like to!"

So... this is why it's sold out everywhere, I bet every place is only getting a few in. But... watch all of this prove me wrong and it goes on clearance later XD
