    (should I continue on making an actual box for it? If Hasbro won't I might as well)

    The figure looks great from the front, but that transformation is hideous. There's literally a part of the sequence where his shell his hanging off him in strips and all I can think is it looks like a half-peeled egg.

    I don't think there's any dispute that they could've made a ''nice'' box. Personally, I'm glad not to pay extra for packaging, considering it's not a ''vintage'' type figure.

    Looking at the current cost in the box editor, ordering the same amount as were funded would be about $13.50 per box. This means with Hasbro's extra funds you really wouldn't need to pay extra at all if they had a nice box. Its actually pretty cheap when you factor in the grand total of unicrons sold and that Hasbro is a large company.

    This is me here. Couldn't care less about the box. I paid for Unicron, not a box that's just going to go into a closet until I clean it out or the day I die.

    They're still much wider than the figure has.

    They can eff right off with that "City Mode". That thing looks vulgar, what with his legs splayed open with a big phallic ramp between them as if to say, "Come into me". Gross.

    It is just concept art, and that mode was cut from the figure (although I'm sure fans will find a fanmode that's close).

    Guess they did eff right off with it then, huh? But you may have some probs if the base mode makes your mind go there with such adversity

    I glad that they cut the city mode. I have a hard enough time figuring out why Unicron even needs feet, let alone trying to figure out where he’d find a rocky world large enough to support his weight and why he’d bother to land on one rather than devour it. I love the Planet-formers but they kinda give me a headache.

    It does give me serious Spanner vibes though.

    Not looking forward to next winter but this figure should brighten the worst of it.

    I have kind of a weird question. How many Gen Metroplex/TR Fort Max shoulder lengths wide would you say Unicron is in each mode with the wings/rings?

    It'll help me rearrange my bedroom around Unicron.

    I see it not as a transformation, as supported by the fiction, but as an alternate "playset" mode that sort of represents the corridors and trenches the Autobots have to fight through inside of him.

    That's actually a pretty cool way of looking at it and he can probably still do something similar.

    If you think children are interested in buying sets and characters for the first 3 SW movies that most kids I meet today NEVER saw (I can attest to this, sad as it is) then you are really deluded. But hey, thanks for the unneeded sarcasm nobody asked for! ;) 
    Also your username has a spelling error, the movie was called black hawk down. [/sarcasm rigth back atcha]

    Based on this image, I'd say he's about 3½ Fort Maxs' wide from wing to wing
