    The article says it's a six-issue mini-series. Is that counting #0?

    I doubt it. You wouldn't typically include an FCBD issue in a count like that.

    Epic!! If nothing else, we'll get some great art out of this series! Mirrored image for those who don't like links:

    IMG_5850.JPG

    Kind of a best-of-both-worlds mix of G1 and Prime Unicron: iconic bot design, but with plenty of rocky spiky bits. Not sure any figure could do this justice!

    Look at his wings, they're made of asteroids! Is this the largest Unicron in TF history, ever? In G1 he was able to walk on the surface of Cybertron, Prime and Bayformers he was Earth's core.

    Well in G1 his scale was never accurately portrayed, so I would yes, this is the biggest incarnation.

    Fullscreened the image and listened to this entire medley while taking it in:

    The only thing that can make Alex Milne's art better is Vince DiCola's music.

    I’ve never been a big fan of Unicron. Cosmic evil Big Bads detract from much more interesting (to me) morally gray characters and situations.
    However...
    This design is phenomenal.
    Good job Milne.

    That's an interesting blend of styles. It's got the open torso of the cybertron/cyberkey version, some great original influences, a dab of the Armada's version of hiding as a planet as well as the torso cannon, and some elements of the prime version that kept the rocky exterior. All combined into a very demonic spiky death ball of evil kind of feeling. Really digging it.

    Now here's hoping they release the movie retooled one again! That sucker keeps selling out before I can get it.
