nice pics! Gaia Unicron looks great!
transformerwars
Unicron looks like a piece of beauty! And Soundwave looks great as well. But other than that, nothing particularly interests me.
Rob
Cool Prime Ironhide!

Could we get better pic of Ironhide please?
vm-01
Hmmm. Revoltech Optimus is using the jetpack as a shield.

So...unicorns alt mode is?????

A flying mess that turns into a messy robot that turns into a messy backpack.

I suppose we're not getting Ironhide from Hasbro as well as not getting Unicron (what with Kup being the first use of the mold)?

Nice to see the Masterpiece figures in color, REALLY surprised Red Alert is toy colors except for the head. I would have preferred all cartoon colors on him (no red on his legs). But it makes him more different than Sideswipe.

Unicron looks awesome in robot mode.

A Cybertronian space craft of sorts just like Megs?

Unicron looks awesome. Soundwave's feet look... weird.
Stepper
Arm Master Optimus Prime is sold
Scantron
Unicron looks great in robot mode, which is really the main draw of the figure, since he never had an alt mode in the cartoon. Interested to see some clearer pictures of his spaceship/tank and combination modes later. Looking forward to AMW 10 - 12 as well, don't really care about the other stuff.
Nemesis251
Whats Unicron's alt mode?
Yaujta
Yay, more stuff that'll cost a kidney to import.
Pass.
Thundershot
Getting Kup from the US... Ironhide from Japan. If the US hasn't shown a sign of releasing a figure yet, I preorder the Japanese version just in case. I'm not taking any chances...

Finally pics of those last to Arms Microns. I hope they eventually do new colors of Knockout's..

It maybe no Alternate mode for him.

Soundwave's eyes are red.

Rejoice.

LOL at Weaponizer Prime doing the WWF showing off the belt/matrix pose....
opt1musaber
Something feels bit iffy with Soundwaves legs. The upper thigh seems bit skinny to me. It sort of reminds me of music label Soundwave, but enlarged, anyone else think this?

”Space Cruiser”, according to the description.

luv the colors on MP Red Alert and Soundwave

Ironhide, I'm disappointed with you. Someone give him a sammich.
Sprocket
Look on the bright side folks, Unicron and Ironhide will probably also be sold through Hasbro Korea. It's certainly an option.

Given how much TakaraTomy's done with the line, I'm kind of surprised there's no plans for a Hardshell toy from them. I guess we'll see.
Thundershot
I really hope we have a Hardshell Voyager toy coming in 2013...
Autobot_Jacer
My wallet is crying! I wanna get that Unicron. I really hope we get Prime Ironhide state-side.
Starfire22
Unicron looks awesome!

Me too. With Red Alert now has the red thigh *looking straight at Josh*, now we just can't predict whether TTomy is basing on the toon, toys, or maybe they have no idea what they're doing, LOL. Overall, MP12, 13, 14 and Unicron robot mode all look spectacular.

From the magazine, that cartoon pic with Sideswipe clearly with the flat head silver pile driving, which episode was that? I don't remember seeing that so clearly. I know he has the drill, the black pile driver, but don't recall the flat head one.
ChaosLordX
unicron looks good, and i need that zori repaint
AMG
That Unicron is awesome. I hope Hasbro brings it over and releases it under the Cyberverse line.
anubis20
Hopefully its the lighting but soundwaves feet should be a little darker. Aside from that I cant wait for him!!
archieboy
Glad I pre ordered Arms Master Optimus. Does anyone know if Gaia Unicron works with any version of PRiD Optimus? I'm thinking of getting him to combine with PRiD Shield Optimus than get the gift set.
SydneyY
Unicron looks cool, and while I can't wait to combine him with Megatron Darkness, judging by their colour schemes I don't expect the combo to look fantastic or anything. I am sure it'll be fun though!

Passing up TakTom Weaponiser OP, but damn I wish I could just get that clear R.A.
Hound & Mirage
Check out Soundwave's price.

MP's are just destroying my budget this year.

Is Unicron meant to be Leader sized or just Voyager?

They're light on the show, but a bit darker than the white area on his legs (they're a light silver IIRC).

They've gone on record in saying they're not releasing it (at least at this time) at SDCC.

He's the same price as Darkness Megatron, who was a Voyager with extra accessories. So he's probably around the same size or perhaps slightly bigger.

That was my first thought as well. They look a bit large, also looking back at some pics from the toon, they should be a darker grey to help break them up from the rest of the legs.




Still very spot on and can't wait to have him in hand.
h0tr0d828
Wait, what's that character between the 1 and the 6 in Soundwave's price? If it's really 16,950 yen, that works out to....holy crap, $214 US??!? That seems a little outrageous, even for a Masterpiece...but then again, 6950 yen, or $88, doesn't sound quite right either....

The prices are right. People are getting a great deal at places like BBTS who are selling him at $170. BBTS is either making almost nothing on them or perhaps even losing out on the price they pay to make their customers happy.

According to Hasbro at SDCC he's not coming.

I imagine because he's slightly larger than a Voyager and doesn't fit into any price point.

Unicron looks great and I can't wait to get a hold of that figure, but I can't tell what his alt mode is supposed to be.

Which is a damn shame. A lot of my favorite figures were in that class.
Sentinel
Damn, and I just saw Unicron on pre-order on BBTS or somewhere for a really good price. Instead I had to go with RK and pay a little more for shipping. Why can't Hasbro just bring over the the figures that we all want rather than make us go through Takara? It makes very little sense to me.
anubis20
16,950 is MSRP. It'll be discounted at many shops... Amazon japan has it for 12,072... BBTS is not loosing at all, they buy wholesale remember
