    Blackwash, and darker legs on the 2010 from best I can tell. There's a thread in the Toy discussion section with detailed pics.

    And as to how someone got ahold of one, it seems some overseas retailers are already selling them.

    Is there a pre-order page for this yet? I looked, but could have missed it.

    I cant find one reason to be excited for this seeing as I found last years in a thrift store for 5.00. I took it home and messed with it and it seemed like a kids entry level toy.

    It basically is. The mold is outdated as hell, the so-called "planet" alt mode is a complete joke since it's nothing more than a "something... with wheels", and despite Hasbro re-releasing this thing umpteen times now, they apparently STILL can't nail down an accurate paint job.

    Other than the sheer size of it, I have never understood the love this mold gets every time it's reissued, especially when most people just keep it in robot mode anyway - making it nothing more than a glorified moderately poseable statue.

    Doesn't look as good as the 2010 version, but still very, very nice. :D

    After seeing comparison shots i think i would prefer 2010. But seeing as how this guy is fairly close and like half the price well... Its not hard for my wallet to decide :p

    I do prefer the 2010, but the green eyes make it tempting to me.

    I have 3 Unicrons currently and this one would be nice, but I think I may pass, I want a 2010 ver but I am in no rush.

    I never thought it was all that awesome either, but the new head, deco, and reasonable price make it fairly winful. Would never have spent any substantial money on the original or the straight reissues, would never have bought more than one, and would never have bought 2010 version, but this hits the sweet spot hard.

    Yup, I'm buying this for sure to replace my trashy Armada Unicron. And those pics look a hell of a lot better than the other pics that guy posted in the toy section.

    very nice, the 2010 is a little nicer but just the same I cannot justify buying one as I have a complete Armada Unicron and its good enough for me, that said i hope we get more than Just Unicron in celebration for the 25th anniversary of the movie.

    also Krannix? Seriously Hasbro isn't it bad enough the guy's planet became a snack for Unicron ?
