That's what I was hoping would happen. This is not a figure that's meant to stay in a box. This is meant to tower above all the other toys we own.

I'm so pumped for Unicron! I don't think there's anything left I'd want to ask for.

 

HasLab Unicron is the largest Transformer ever. 3Ps aren't Transformers, KOs aren't Transformers.

 

Official Transformer yes. Optimus Prime has diecast so he and Unicron will weigh the same

 

I'm not seeing this at all. What improvements?  

 

Not to belabor this (too late), but everything I’ve seen for Lewin says 7.5 kg. That’s smaller than Unicron’s 19 lbs, they won’t weigh the same.

 

The European version is going to come with a beret. They call it “Le Unicron” over there.

 

I'm still holding out hope that this will be funded by the end of the campaign with a good surge. I do wish Hasbro did do more to stir up excitement in these final days, maybe offer some Kickstarter style incentives thrown into the pot for hitting every 100th backer funding milestone (i.e. 5700, 5800, 5900, 6000...etc)? Just some suggestion, I've given up on getting lights, sounds, voices in the stand and I'm just thinking of more realistic stuff they could easily throw in - I'm sure you guys can come up with even better ideas:

1) thank you/shout out on website
2) pdf of design notes/sketches, history of unreleased Unicron prototypes and/or 16 page comic book with brand new story (would also include backer shout outs)
3) paper versions of above
4) Unicron trading card
5) Unicron sticker
6) Unicron iron-on patch
7) special Unicron slip in dvd/blu ray cover
8) Unicron pin by Han Cholo
9) Unicron poster/print
10) Unicron coin
11) Unicron t-shirt
12) Unicron calendar good for the two years until it's release
13) play mat of a damaged Cybertron surface for Unicron to be displayed on
14) any of Mini Primacron, Rodimus w/ Matrix, Armada Sideways, Dead End, Hook, Line, Sinker figures
15) Design team signatures on box
16) extended Hasbro Pulse membership
17) option to buy Unicron head seperately so that it can be displayed in damaged mode as Cybertron's moon

These items would be pretty limited themselves being made to approx backer orders and fans who don’t care for them can sell them off to defray and recoup some the cost of the Unicron toy itself but otherwise would be awesome to get all these or more! And these can be released earlier to help satisfy that unicron wait

 

Believe me it weighs 19 lb. The only way I'm guessing that Unicron weighs that much it's because of all the planetary plates and hopefully thick plastic

 

I'm not sure that word means what you think it does.

Not even sure where to start with this - a U.S. based company allows free shipping to the U.S. addresses - I'm guessing whatever country's high postage rates is now Hasbro's fault too?
ALL of the SDCC exclusives were limited - member or not. Furthermore, why would this be a problem if they're just cheaper on eBay? (not that either part of that statement was the truth...)

 

Do people really want things like pins and stickers?

I'd rather have a mini Junkion ship that can crash through Unicron's eye. Things like that,

 

It's really just a roundabout way of saying that it should come with a free membership into the Official Unicron Fanclub. You remember that stuff? You get the flyer, the patch, the sticker, the thank you letter... I'm totally down for that!  

 

Have the ship come in the form of a pin, then you can either pin it on you or through Unicron’s eye  

 

The last thing a 19lb robot needs is 4lb of tat. And at this point, with the pricing set, suddenly including a whole bunch of shit which costs money to produce and ship would just make people think: knock some $ off and drop the draw/bin fodder  

 

Titanium Unicron - the planet eater that fits in your pocket. At last, the joke "Is that a Unicron in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" makes sense.

 

Sorry I am only getting to this message now, late reply. This is what I meant.

I don't have exact dimensions but is easily as tall as Fort Max just bigger in other dimensions. I like to pretend the rest of the dragon lives in the neighbor's flat  
Wizkids already made trophies of a mind flayer, black dragon and beholder as well, the latter is more like a full beholder since their bodies are their heads too.

 

My thinking was that these would be incentives to attract more backers to get the thing funded in the first place, they wouldn’t be included all at once. Stuff like PDFs and shout outs to backers at a bare minimum wouldn’t cost them too much.

 

If Hasbro have even the slightest intention of changing the colour to a more orange-like tint, they'd better come out and say so - for 2 reasons:

1. Over 5000 people have committed to the product based on the images we've seen, so changing it without a disclaimer would be wrong. They might detest the idea
2. People like myself who can list a number of issues they have with the figure that stops them backing it will have had a big one of them removed, so this could be enough to get it funded

Hasbro, we know you're reading this. Is the colour scheme final? If so, I think it'd be good to expand on the q&a video which promised more q&a but never delivered.

If not, you need to reveal any potential changes before 6th of October - I know that a better (read: more movie accurate) colour scheme would definitely get me to rethink my current position, which is about 70/30 against backing.

I've already listed my personal issues with it, but I'll be honest, if I could see this in a better colour scheme I might even be able to live with the overtly Seige styling (was initially pretty okay with it but it's gradually put me off). If I could, then I'd probably back it. I'm no huge fan of the face sculpt or the kibble, but I reckon they're lowest on my list in terms of aesthetics.

 

I thought it was a "Royale with Unicron?"

 

I'd take a Unicron shirt if included. That would be good by me

 

i think people are ignoring how big of a factor the price is. Go on instagram and youll see quite a lot of people saying that the price is too much for to go for it and getting upvotes.
