Takara-Tomy by way of Amazon Japan has released official images of the three Arms Micron series releases for September in Japan. Due out around 28 September are Gaia Unicron, Ironhide and Arms Master Optimus Prime. Gaia Unicron is so far only confirmed for a Japanese release and transforms from a large robot mode into a demonic tank, and can also evidently transform into armor for Optimus Prime or Megatron. Ironhide is a recolor of Sergeant Kup and again currently Japan is the only place confirmed to be getting this recolor. Lastly Arms Master Optimus Prime is the Japanese release of Weaponizer Optimus Prime, with a translucent blue version of Ratchet's R.A. Arms Micron and a large "Matrix" accessory which transforms into a huge sword. Not shown in these pictures is the fact it can also combine with both robot and truck mode on Optimus.

Unicron's alt mode has a giant Unicron face on the top.

What the fuck?

and yeah, my fears confirmed. The backs of his lower arms are completely flat. They need to be combined together if you want to fix that, leaving him missing half of one arm. So then the micron becomes the missing arm part. No proper arms, "wad" arms are flat on one side, and he has no hands. Combined mode has him staring at the chest of Optimus or Megatron.

Honestly, he's pretty stupid. but I still want him.

I suspect the altmode is actually when he formed his face from the canyon wall.
Valkysas
Looking at his elbows, that shot of him with the Micron as his arm with his arms bent is likely as far as the arms bend, since the hinge is contained on the detachable lower arm pieces instead of his actual arm. There's not enough clearance on the hinge to let it bend any further.
Aberration
I like that Unicron's alt mode has a bigger version of his face on it, and that he seems to have minimal stickers. (It looks like just his toes, crotchplate, faction symbols, and those weird tech details on his insides.)
Valkysas
Already posted in the big Dengeki Hobby topic.

Also, you're not supposed to hotlink images from other sites.
SPLIT LIP
Unicron looks absolutely horrible, and yet almost wonderful. the colours and placement of the chrome almost reminds me of a Japanese Beast Wars figure. A Beast Wars figure that got dressed in the dark and had totally useless fucking arms. If it weren't for the fact that I actually hate Prime Unicron I'd be all over it.
Valkysas
The combined mode's crotch plate is the center piece of Unicron's giant face. His nose is literally right against Optimus and Megatron's crotch. While his normal face stares at them from their chests.

It's like they tried to make the combination as awkward as they could.
Vector Squidma
That Unicron is freakishly colored, bizarrely designed, inexplicably a combiner, AND I LOVE IT. Something about me just gets super excited when Transformers designs get this weird. I'm biting my finger just looking at this thing. If a little more money ends up rolling my way this might be the first toy I ever import.
autobotguy
Sooooo....both Ops and Megs can wear Unicron? What, like he is the ultimate bling accessory?? Ugh...I can see S3 of TF: Prime. "Battle for the Dark Blingeron"

Not really diggin the shiny Decepticon purple all over Ironhide's abs. Its very distracting!
Automorpher
I am so PEEVED right now, knowing that I must get Gaia Unicron to "complete" that PRID Prime!

More money spent, grrr...!!!
Sideways77
That Unicron is so ridiculous I want it...
Feralstorm
Unicron looks like a mix of equal parts awesome and terrible. I'm very conflicted right now.

Ironhide needs the dual cannons Kup got. 1 Micron ain't cuttin' it.
Bountyan
Unicron is really bad looking. The color scheme is an eye sore. And of course, it aint Takara if it doesn't have random assed chrome/shiny stuff. I'd also prefer if he had hands instead of mace club thingies. Kinda like how is alt mode is a giant face though.

Again, I'd buy Ironhide, but if he was $10-$15 and not the $30+ it takes to import.
Deceptigtar
that unicron combined modes are just dumb, just hangs off their backs.
AMG
I like the looks of Unicron, but I'm not feeling those combined modes at all.
The_Black_Sheep
Gaia Unicron... what the f#ck?!
Starscream Gaga
Preordered both. /excitment for Unicron
Avengers
They mis-transformed one of Unicron's legs in these pics. The toy-world.com pics show unicrons legs properly transformed.

The combined armor modes forced too many Constraints on the Gaia Unicron toy.

Hasbro could easily release Gaia Unicron. As a Maximus Unicron toy for Cyber verse.

Still haven't a clue what that ugly alt mode is suspose to be. is it a air or ground alt mode. it looks like the meteor ship Springer drove in the FFOD episodes.
Optimus_Prowl
Unicron transforms into.his own head??? Oh god thats brilliant! Im just rolling right now at how hilatoous that is! I have to get one :')
Dirge121
Wow, that Unicron is seven different shades of awful. I mean, different stroke for different folks, but wow. Just wow.

Took the words right out of my mouth. He's now a must own.
prfctcellrulz
Man, I want Unicron. Why the f--k isn't he getting a US release?!

I mean, come on. He pretty much screams “Army-builder”, am I right?!
twiztidRodimus
And Unicron is a decepticon....um.....what?
moreprimeland
Actually, Unicron...grows on you.

He certainly has more color to him than in TFP.

I don't think so it just looks turned to the side.

Gaia Unicron's multi colors. looks like expired Lasagna.

Hasbro has a chance to color their version better. If Hasbro releases this toy.

Hasbro's Unicron,would make a decent unicron maximus cyberverse toy.

Knowing hasbro,they'll release the Takara gaia Unicron colored version. As a Toys R Us store exclusive Two pack. with a voyager prime figure.

Voyager Class, no?
Sup3hobo
I wonder if there's going to be two different color schemes of gaia unicron. The previous magazine scan showed both the one we see in this thread and a more muted color scheme. I'd rather have the more muted color.

This is exactly how I feel. It's wonderfully bad. Very torn.

It's somewhere between voyager and ultra.

This is leader class, ain't it?
Valkysas
Just in case anyone has trouble seeing the face, I did this:



And now Unicron's alt mode looks like a really fucked up bat.
Supreme Unicron
So he's a volcano with a face on it?

Size-wise, it's a tad bigger than voyagers. I think DLX Knockout reaches up to his hip. Price wise, it's a tad more expensive than previous Voyager figures, japanese pricepoints though.

Now that's just flat out strange... Now I want it more.
Jetbolt
Ironhide looks really great to me, might get one.
Avengers
Takara has weird prices. that can't be used to determine size.

If Gaia Unicron was leader size. It would be too big to fold up as Armor. for voyager sized toys to wear as armor coats.

Nope.

Let's take that stand he's on out of the picture, and put his feet even with Airachnid's.



Then let's compare him to the vehicon on the same riser he's on, taking into account that it's squatting a little. Then use the vehicon on Megatron's riser as a reference for height, even though he's not squatting. He's a little taller than Megatron, maybe an inch. although his wings go much higher.

Also, you can see Swerve's box on the far left of the image. Unicron's box looks to be the same exact height as the standard Voyager package. There is no way he's leader class.
TFXProtector
Preorders cancelled. Unicron just looks awful. It looks like a bad render from a failed Bayverse design and made into reality through a plastic printer. The chrome is just tacky, shitty icing on the cake of fail. As for Ironhide.... I have the Cyberverse which doesn't cheat and every part of him does something. Both figures flat out suck. I'm very disappointed.
Avengers
Why is Ironhide pink. Was red not available.

Hopefully Gaia Unicron has hands with fingers under those spiked gloves. Having Mountain spikes for hands just looks terrible.
