    Nope, radio silence from BBTS. I'm fully expecting their 'Late April' estimate to get changed to 'Late May'.

    I was thinking the same after I transformed him to bot mode and was tempted to remove the leg and back kibble. Haven't tried it yet, as he's back in planet mode at the mo, but I do like the streamlined bot look... And being able to have both on display at the same time would be pretty cool (if also a slightly depressing comment on the nature of his transformation - wonder if there's a name for that? We have partsforming and shellforming of course, but what about when you can practically separate the alt mode and bot form?! MP Arcee is similar).

    If they can make an upgrade for Scorponok, it should be possible for Unicron I hope. Actually, if it's an entire new ring purely for planet mode, get rid of the asymmetrical pointy bits that are only there for transformation. Add in a few light-up parts around the ring (also lights for his bot eyes). And most important of course, certain grey parts that should be orange ;)

    Unicorn arrived on Friday and immediately got to work printing Trunkkey's veneer, Geekgirl's planet kibble frame, and painting his bottom teeth. I know it has been said many times already, no matter how people warn you about the size, the size and presence is massive!

    Only place that fits right now is on my desk, and had to remove a monitor off the desk. Guess it's time to invest in a KVM. :p

    Aaaaaye! My main man Unicron, down there holding the high note. Who knew the chaos bringer, could sing with such grace.

    I found a temporary display for Unicron. I got a pair of Lack end tables from IKEA and glued them together. They were on sale for $9.99 each in Canada. The surface is the exact same size as the base.

    Now that I’ve opened my Unicron and spent some time getting it properly in planet mode I have to say, Hasbro’s instructions are crap. The way they (don’t) explain how to properly attach the base without breaking anything is sad. Thankfully there are some awesome videos on YouTube.

    I don’t have unicron, but I just came here to say that it’d be cool if Hasbro made an extra head homaging the g1 unicron prototype.

    I think they should make a larger head and maybe make a decent sized cybertron so folks could create the ending to TFTM.

    I posted this a couple pages back (page 1801). I asked her specifically if Hasbro has enough inventory to fulfill the remaining orders and how long we can expect to keep waiting:
    But yeah, no concrete info other than "soon."

    It's actually not even FedEx's fault for providing an estimated shipping date of 4/22 initially (now the date is just "pending"); it's Hasbro's fault for pre-printing the shipping labels (which automatically notifies/triggers FedEx) and then not actually delivering the packages to FedEx. I'm assuming Hasbro's warehouse is trying to get everything packed and shipped, or at least I'm hoping they're moving as fast as they can on that.

    I truly believe the issue with the instructions now showing how to mount to the base was not an omission from the instructions, but rather, a packaging mistake. We all saw the video that these are assembled in robot mode, then transformed into planet mode to be packaged. I think the person transforming them all was supposed to leave that flap up inside so that you could sit it straight on like the instructions said. But they put the flap in the wrong position.

    Well Kapow just updated my order which is now due to ship this Wednesday. It won't make in time for my birthday but I should receive it next week, so it's time to make some room on my shelves. Customs are going to be brutal though...
