    If his alt mode = a rock, then that will = PASS.

    I could live with a pile of rocks as Unicron's avatar(s).

    Actually, I think that would be pretty hilarious.

    A Cybertronian vehicle mode.

    You know the rock guys weren't actually Unicron right?

    I agree, I can't quite put my finger on why I don't like the design, but it really doesn't work for me.

    Maybe it's because it feels like the worst parts of the 90's, spikes everywhere without much thought put into the design.

    I would love it if his alt mode is a little spinning globe I could put on my desk.

    Sure hope that he is a new mold instead of using the Armada Unicron mold

    I hope it's the same as the avatars, same alt mode and everything. I'll set one up on a ramp over the top of an Indiana Jones.

    Price wise seems like Weaponizer scale, but how do you weaponize a meteor?

    The unicron and megs figures seem to be running about $65. The listing I saw was for BBTS. While I hope they are Ultra Class...but I'm preparing to see voyagers. All of BBTS's japanese voyagers are $60. I'm guessing extra $5 is for the "bbts-japanese-exclusive-tax".

    Troll answer: They're going to release the BWN Unicron mold.

    Real answer: A rock. I don't think they'd bother making it actually look like Earth, but I'd imagine they'd make it look like earth. I'd imagine they'd want the robot modes to be screen accurate to his avatars, and if they're colored the same then that really only leaves one possible alt-mode...

    He could turn into a tampon and I would get him.

    A rock. Then you can get a globe that splits in two and put him in it :)

    *puts on nerd glasses*
    Technically all mass has gravity therefore you would not need to add it. It already has it. But the earth's is so much greater that the toys wouldn't be noticed.

    And now you know.

    Highest probability is He'll turn into earth, and look like rock. I know people want more but lets be honest we never saw UNICRON in Prime we saw manifestations made out of rock, reason we didn't see him is cause he WAS EARTH! so him having a transformation would kinda end the show! So I say its almost a certainty (regardless of what people want) is..

    Alt mode- An Earth globe sphere, while Bot mode- Rock textured "Mini-Crons" we saw in the show! Sorry to pop everyone's lil delusions on what he might be but seriously what else would make sense with a name like Gaia Unicron?!

    Now whether he's 100% new figure or 50% original Unicron with textured paint and new globe pieces is yet to be seen, but probably 100% new figure considering past Unicron aren't very "Primey" aesthetic wise
