    May Unicron mark the last big TF figure I get in a long time. I don't think I'll have any display room after him, and my parents will have a cow when they see the final size of him once the box shows up. :confused: 

    With the exception being an Earthrise Prime or a half decent Earth Megatron and Seekers in the future, then again the Super Megatron I preordered is said to come out in September...

    I'm actually thinking about taking a day off from work when it will be delivered, in order to do some damage control when my mom will see that gigantic box, and so she will not be the one told by the courier how much customs are for the thing.

    You're in luck, Emgo has stated that he ordered one.

    Watch them throw another Unicron out there now that they're doing '86 studio series figures...

    In all seriousness though while I couldn't ever complete a WFC trilogy collection, pairing up Unicron with a full set of future studio series '86 figures seems super doable and cool.

    The SS86 figures are in the WfC style, as is Unicron.

    Releasing a SS86 line to coincide with their Unicron is just brilliance! It lets us set up an entire ‘86 movie display, and that’s after they’ve already been killing it with WFC in the last couple years.

    How do you figure that? They aren't covered in pegs for blast effects.

    They share the same general design goals: Accuracy to the source material and scaled with each other (which scales to the rest of WfC). The blast effects pegs are irrelevant.

    I thought my second paragraph was enough of a contextual clue that I wasn't being serious in my first sentence but I guess I should have added an /s. My mistake.

    Said it before, I'll say it again: I'd buy a Titan Unicron head. He can triple change into a playset and a tank.

    Yes and no. They charge the day (or close to it) that the campaign gets fully funded

    Iirc, one of the leakers said the Ark "was its own thing". At first I thought it was something like AUOP that doesn't have ER branding on its packaging, but Haslab seems like another possibility.

    Damn, I was hoping Primus would be next. Regardless I'm not getting the Ark since I don't want it, but if it is a Haslab project it will be interesting to watch if nothing else.
