    That pic of Unicron in package looks like he's holding one of his nuts not a minicon.

    That looks to be the definitive Unicron toy; it's more accurate than any version we've gotten so far. I'm very glad I didn't go for the 2010 Unicron now.

    Though I will still probably pick up the Amazon Unicron, I am not at all upset that I picked up the Takara version. Still love the orange on it more. Now I just need to get rid of my Universe/Armada one.

    I cannot wait until this replaces my Dark Energon Unicron!

    I love anything Animated movie related. The movie is like one Awesome Music Video!

    I dont know why it bugs me so much that they pack him as a decepticon yet clearly in the bio its true to move movie saying he's basically Robo-Satan.

    Kranix how ever is a awesome little nod

    .... just wish they packed in a stand for planet mode

    I love that Unicron, but I got the Takara one a few months ago and still prefer it anyway. The only thing I like better on the Hasbro one is the green eyes, which would have been nice to have on the Takara one.

    Unicron's bio is one of the better-written official descriptions of Unicron out there.

    I expect it to be released in November. Just seems like the best time.

    I wonder if they will release and other figures under the 25th Anniversary Movie line.

    We are already getting a Junkion and it would be nice to get a Arcee and Springer as well.

    Bit weird having a new mold Air Raid when there's a very different repaint Air Raid in the Takara Line.

    Seems like the longest time since they've done a civilian aircraft, so I welcome it. Don't like the head render, but all the head renders in this line have been kinda awful, so hopefully the headsculpt is a lot better.

    The altmode suffers from giant hinges and clip-joints. My interest is piqued just the same. With any luck the botmode will be worth it.

    Or just keep them all like I plan on doing. They have something appealing in them. I personally like the transparent parts on Armadacron, but Amazoncron is going to win out as the most accurate by far.

    Air Raid isn't a civilian plane, he's a military AWACS. Although it does indeed look like a 737.

    EDIT: Look's like Air Raid's altmode may be inspired from this plane; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_E-767

    It looks like the staff slowed up on pics... to lighten the load on the server, most likely? either way, I can't wait for when the display cases open up to the public in 1 hour and 15 ish minutes. :p
