    We've not had too much feedback on our own message board, and we'd love to hear what people think of Lucky Draw Green Unicron. The Lucky Draw toys always seem to split people's options, usually becase of their limited nature or more so there colour schemes (usually gold or silver chrome). This toy, like several of the Lucky Draw's, has it's origin from the cartoon series, although quiet a few people seem to have forgotten that (going by the few comments we've seen so far).

    It's funny, as we only realised during the review of this toy that he is actually the only "Good-Guy" Unicron figure, as of cause he was the "Unicron of Light" which the Mini-Con's made at the end of Armada.

    What do you think?

    Looks like Unicron went to Nickelodeon and got slimed. :p

    Look out, it's Lime Jello Unicron!

    Would not pay $7,000 for that. Or even $700. Possibly $70, during a good month.

    I think that looks neat, one of the better Lucky draws out there no question, although I never saw that episode of Armada (only saw like 4 lol). This toy in my opinion is probably next to maybe black RiD Prime, one of the few lucky draws worth even considering pursuing to own if you ever had the cash. Most of the chrome ones look terrible.

    Just because it wasn't mentioned and because I'm curious, do you know how many of these were produced?

    #1 - I'm amazed Takara produced a limited figure that wasn't all gold, all black, or all translucent.

    #2 - ...I kinda wish this thing was all translucent! It's supposed to be an energy form, right? But I guess there's too many mechanics inside to make it look good that way.

    It does look cool though, very unique for a lucky draw. I wish it was released over here... Gobotron, anyone?

    Unicron looks like the snot rocket that rules all snot rockets. Damn he looks as if the Universe had a smoke then hacked Unicron up like that

    10 originally, we're not sure if they were ever used as store Prize Draws (most of the Lucky Draws are), although the fact that he has only appeared on an auction site once (and not on Yahoo Auctions Japan), would indicate that he wasn't re-drawn.

    It was a prize for Micron Legend Year Book 2003, the entries closed on 31 May 2004 and the figures were reportedly shipped around October (according to Autobase Aichi).
    And it was appeared in a Japanese auction, the winning bid was over 350,000 yen.

    Nice looking figure, though...

    Meh...Chrome or Gold would have been cooler.
    Even the black re-paint looks better.

    Meh. Despite what it represents, it doesn't blow me away. But hey, it was free for 10 people so I wouldn't complain for free.

    Wow, I'm surprised by how many people in this thread seem underwhelmed.

    Me, I think Greenicron is VERY nice looking. *sigh* Yet another TF I'll probably never own.

    The point of a green Unicron is....? Sometimes I think they just pull color schemes out of their asses.

    Being a fan of Armada myself, that's the only Lucky Draw that would actually worth something for me. Looks really good.
