    I don't see why they'd bother remolding it just to take off the mini-con ports and then make everything else exactly the same

    Benjamin Franklin: "I believe that if we are to sell an old Transformer, it cannot be a toy that appears repainted and overused to the rest of the fan base. However, it also cannot be a toy that appears ugly and unwilling to sell, to the rest of the fan base. So, what if we make a toy that appears to have both."

    Thomas Jefferson: "Yes, yes of course, we make a old toy "new" and change nothing on it at the same time...."

    Benjamin Franklin: "And that means that as a toy, it could be marketed towards whomever we wished, but at the same time act like we didn't want it to sell. If we allow the people to protest what the toy is, then the toy will be forever blameless."

    John Adams: "It's like having your cake and eating it too."

    Anonymous Hick Redneck Founding Father: "Think of it: an entire toy created on representing one thing and being another."

    John Hancock: "And we will call that toy Transformers Universe: Unicron."

    NOT TRUE, i recall sideways was on neither side of the armada and cybertronian series and hasbro gave him both insignas. as well as th minicons released on the classics 1.0 and cybertron were given decepticon and autobot insinas when the minicons have their own insignas. plus unicron in the armada unicron,energon unicron were given a minicon insigna with one half red and the other half purple

    If this is just a straight repaint, they should be ashamed to sell it at full price. Should be $40, imo.

    Sideways and Unicron were sold as Decepticons in Cybertron. Same for the Titanium series. As I recall, Cybertron Unicron had no faction sigil on him.

    The Classics Minicons were originally made for Cybertron, and kind of shoved into Classics. They were categorised by Autobot and Decepticon-allied teams.

    My comment about the faction sigil on this Unicron is if they're using the same deco plan as Armada, there wouldn't be one tamographed on him anyway. He never had any insignia in Armada.

    Cool for those who missed out. Would be nice if they do something a little different to him to sweeten the pot for anyone on the fence about getting this one.

    first of all i was not talking about cybertron unicron. and he did not have an insigna on the armada but the bio for takara and the english had all the insignas. even on the show (energon) on the episode called "distrubition". unicron had an insigna that showed all 3 factions of the war. side ways was never placed as a decepticon. and the bio on all the minicons had one error. they did not have the minicon insigna on the classics they only had autobot and decepticon signs on them. it never showed anything of them being on the minicon side

    It's like playing 'Spot the Differences' in the Sunday comics.
    1. Box is different
    2. Faction is assigned.
    3. Feet are against shins.
    4. Arms are moved.
