Transformers Prime Gaia Unicron In Hand

LAME! F¤¤¤¤¤G lame!

This review just pushed this to a must have for me.

The clips the arms use to hook together in volcano mode are Cyberverse set clips, which means, with some finagling, he'd be perfect for a Cyberverse set up!

Also, why remove the arms to convert him? Just looking at the way they fold in, it isn't necessary.

hasbro really mailed it in on this mold.

That alt is so rediculously bad. Part of what made any and all unicrons great was moon shape which if you have to have an alt mode for such a large creature a sphere is the ideal form since all gravity and load on the structure are evenly distributed. There is a natural reason for planet shapes n all.

The figure is interesting but the ALT mode is such an after thought i would not get this.

LMAO. That alt mode is truly ridiculous....

AM-19 Tree Man!

So bad in all modes. But it's Unicron, so I want one...

That thing is Ugly.

What is Hasbro's problem?

I truly thought he was going to transform into a pile of jagged rocks, alt mode is meh... But bot mode is cool liking the metallic parts too.

I dig the robot mode. Everything else I have to hold judgement on till I get it.

Don't like either modes.. easy pass!

I inexplicably desire this. MUCHO.

I'm good with my Armada Unicron.

I love this guy! Can't wait to see him on my shelf.

UGLY! Aside from the MP's and encores, Transformers have become such a joke. Glad I gave up on collecting the Prime line awhile ago.

So a shiny Rock Lord Unicron, not for me. So this being one of many avatars that Unicron creates in the show should I forsee someone troop building this?

Hasbro? You mean hasbros getting him oh thank god

I don't know why people are blaming Hasbro....Takara made this, not Hasbro.
Also, this, like Breakdown and Jet Vehicon, are Takara exclusives. So you need to import them. Hasbro and Takara did not work together on these, and this is a Takara toy.

Also, even if his Vehicle mode was 'passible', would you ever display him in that mode anyway? And c'mon...... VOLCANO MOUNTAIN FACE ALT MODE.
It doesn't get any more hilariously awesome than that.

This is newsworthy -_- I shouldve posted it as soon as I saw it oh well theres an ironhide review aswell

Oh wow that's bad.

Partsforming? This just became a big fat pass.

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!

And that's why we have the Radicons...cause I thought it as well...maybe someone will make it happen...*shrug*

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.

The reviewer is terrible.

anyway, onto the thoughts of what i watched.

It's just like i guessed all the pieces i said were rubber are very much so (especially the wings), that's a bit disappointing for such an expensive over-sixed Deluxe toy. I say deluxe because of the complexity of it. it's too simple to be a voyager to me.

The Bot Mode is good in terms of show accuracy, but the rest however leaves Oh so much more to be desired.

I am going to add a "WTF is that alt mode supposed to be"? It looks like nothing more than Unicron as "Crumpled-Up-ball-of-Plastic-to-throw-at-people" mode. It looks like it almost transforms into that mode like Soundwave transforms into his G1 Cassette player mode. (weird)

the chromed pieces are also totally worthless and really serve no purpose. why add extra jointed piece if they just go right back to the same spots, so the dumb feet can move? really?

UNICRON is supposed to be dirty dusty piles or rock that actually look like Rock. there's no shine anywhere on him at all.

I'm going back to "DO NOT WANT" Status

I truly feel like Has/Tak is Trolling us all now

'Space cruiser' my ass. I personally have a better altmode than that thing!

BBBBBOOOOORRRRRIIIIINNNNNGGGGG....I hear a foghorn. The toyline completist in me just gave me permission to skip this one. What a waste of their time and ours. The only way i'd own this is if it was on severe clearance, and only then if there was nothing else I wanted at the time. I'm almost angry I watched that.

well now im stuff between loving the robot mode and being not a huge fan of the so called vehicle/mountain face.

I feel the same way. I can see why Hasbro isn't releasing Unicron here.

the given in this brand is that a robot turns into something.

this specific item is a joke to me.
strike that, it's an officially licensed joke to me

Headmaster Unicron! Takara is going to come out with a body so we all can slap his "Head On!"

Maybe a 3rd party can make a body and make this a headmaster! If a 3rd party does do that, this thing will run $150+!

Argh, I'm so on the fence right now... Should I cancel my pre-order or not?
To call this a "Transformer" is pretty much a joke, but man that robot mode looks soooo good!
But $65 good?
Sigh...

If this got released in the States as a voyager figure, I would probably pick it up. I could see this being a $20 figure. But to import? No. I'd rather have no Unicron than to pay too much for a Unicron with no real altmode. I even don't really MIND the face but don't call that a vehicle. Hasbro, if you release it, don't sh*t on my table and call it chocolate.

My god,he's going to look smashing right next to my Cybetron Unicron........

Why are people complaining about the alt mode when he didn't even HAVE one in the show? Was anyone actually intending on displaying him in it?

I dig it. Love the bot mode and love that he changes into his own face! And a pseudo, volcano-thing...but mostly his face. Must have

Actually, it IS partsforming...
You need to swap the arms...

Who would have thought that they could screw up a mountain-alt-mode...? Now I have a new appreciation for old rocklords =P

A transformer with no alt-mode is not a transformer.
A transformer with a crap alt-mode at least is a trash transformer. Like trash movies, they go well with beer and pizza XD.

It's just my own opinion, but I really like this figure. I just like the style of this version of Unicron. With the alt mode being a giant Unicron face with those horns, just does it for me.
No he is not a planet, or sphere, but this is a great representation of Unicron from TF Prime.
I even hope they do a repaint version in blacks and dark energon purple. I know he never appeared that way in the show, but it would be sweet.

Regardless of what the packaging may say, I think the alt mode was intended to be a huge Unicron face.

Was'nt there a seen where he was talking to prime out of a face made out of a mountain before all the smash the unicron avitars combat started? If I remember that correctly it would seem logical that this is what Tak was shooting for.

I was disappointed to not see how he "combines" with Prime and Megatron as armor. I have been able to see that very clearly but its looked very lame thus far.

Unicron's alt mode is supposed to be a reference to how he appeared to Megatron in the One Shall Rise arc inside a volcano with his face appearing in the mist not a space ship. It actually makes sense in that regard due to him being of the Earth and all. Yes it's strange but at the same time it makes sense.

The robot mode is just amazingly show accurate! Looking forward to picking this up!
