Takara knocked it out of the park with this! And I'm not being sarcastic.

Robot mode is ok but the alt mode looks like a deformed rock!

The one toy that they actually have the right to turn into a brick or a rock of some sort is loaded with the dumbest gimmicks i have ever seen in a transformer toy. at least make it turn into a decent unicron head or something......

Why is everyone hating on this figure? I always thought this figure is the most accurate one out of the whole line

But... what is it?

I like the robot mode... though I could do without the chrome, which always wears bad over time. The other mode is really dreadful though. If I can't tell which is the front, back, top... that's a bad design. (reminds me of the various Megatron spaceship molds. Which way are you facing, buddy?)

Without someone pointing out that it (might) be supposed to resemble a volcano... or have a face... I wouldn't have noticed either resemblance. It's like a train hit a herd of deer, and this was the resulting mangled wreckage.

Rock-deer-horn-face-volcano-spaceship... it's like some bad transliteration come to life. OR like some bad Reece's cup commercial where two people run into each other carrying a volcano and a face... OOP! You got your volcano in my face! You got your face in my volcano!!

All that said, I'll probably still buy it for the robot mode, but just... wow.

...and now I no longer feel bad about being unable to import this figure.

The only way and I mean ONLY WAY this figure could be cool, is if you had to buy like 5 more of these figures that would be other Unicrons that when transformed, make up his other body parts. If you look at this figure when it is being transformed, it looks like it could be the head and shoulders of a combined figures Unicron. Hence the giant face would come in great for the figure. Which would make a big figure to have!

It's a Takara-only design.

There's no partsforming, the guy removed the arms only to put them in the same place later. No reason to do that.
