    I think that all of the Minicons that merged into this guy got an endorsement deal from Listerine (for when you want your Chaos Bringer minty fresh), but that's just me.

    I wish they'd at least recolored Unicron's old character art but nonetheless that is a gorgeous looking box. I'm glad I actually bit on this even if it clearances later. Still low key hoping they do a leader Nemesis Prime/Scourge at some point out of the old super base Convoy.

    Looks like Primus blew his nose on Unicron.

    It was actually Armada Unicron that really got me collecting Transformers seriously. Then again it was way better (imo) than the G1 bricks I grew up with.

    Or this guy.

    The question is, do Hastak think they can sell a Titan-class planet-former? I suppose they could could throw in a base mode as well.

    If I was Hasbro, I'd create a 'Unicronian' faction of toys, figures with distinct Unicron-like details. Maybe even make some of them combiners, as well (actually, I wouldn't mind a Titan Unicron combiner made up of his various minions). Build up the hype, and then release their boss/planet/playset.

    I suppose they could then follow that up with a Titan Primus.

    Got billed by Amazon Japan for him. $134 shipped is not too bad a price in my opinion. Looks like he might be here this weekend.

    Well my Primus is orange, so of course my Unicron must be green :lol 

    Actually, Primus was a gift from my brother. It was a TRU Exclusive he managed to grab for me after TRU started their going out of business sale.

    I couldn't have one without the other, so I bought this Unicron. I actually really like the green coloring on him.

    Yeah, seeing those in hand pics, has solidify my correct decision in passing on him. Thank you for the pics, and I hope that everyone who has bought one will be happy with their purchase.

    I'm surprised every time they go back to Armada Unicron, with the number of times past releases have been clearanced.

    The Takara one didn't go on clearance and I'm sure that any prospected lower sales numbers have been compensated for with the increased price.

    I really need to try Amazon Japan if that's what it came out to. I thought it was gonna go even with Amiami and it ended up being no better than a US retailer despite the prices not differing as much on Amazon JP itself preshipping.

    I love it :cool: 

    It's a really nice color scheme actually. They didn't just slap some green paint on him and called it a day. There are like 4-5 different shades of green that all work really nice together.

    Old Armada Unicron really shines in this new green deco. And that boxart is good. But at $140 and having owned this mold twice now I am gonna have to pass.

    Still wondering why this got an Encore release rather than being an LG-EX exclusive (like Blue Big Convoy).

    Does he come with a comic or no because he is an encore and not legends? And anyone want to sell/gift me all their legends comics? :/
