    i dont know it could work forever or it might start having issue down the line in a few months.

    the bot is designed to keep the weight off the panels for a reason.

    i would not display either of mine that way personally.

    but i do like the look so more power to him.

    The toy has a base. But it could theoretically stay in the box and rest all its weight on the panels until the end of time.

    tis true...but the box fully contacts the whole bottom half of the sphere.

    this is just what a 10" 6mm ring at best. that does not leave a lot of surface area for the load to be spread out and supported.

    but i get what you are saying.

    Finally transformed mine after having it for a good month to make sure all the bits and pieces were in the right places. Man, my copy sure has some tight pegging on some of the hinges. Watched three videos on the hinge that attaches the the maw, all of them just unpegged with ease, not mine. Was worried about breaking something so I took off a few panels, and had to pry the damn thing apart. Plan is to store it back in the box, but not going back through the process in the near future.

    The built material on Unicron is very solid, no need to worry too much about messing with it. In fact, you need brute force to get some areas to move and transform. I am glad Hasbro uses great material in this one.

    how much are you selling your broken unicron for in the future?

    They were a few hundred bucks cheaper. I’ve been tempted but spending that kind of money on something I don’t even currently have room to display. It’s a lot...

    I would suggest you to buy now. You would have room to display in the future but may not have anymore Unicron (or at good price) to buy in future.

    Yesterday I transformed him in robot mode. The process isn't complicated but it took some time due to the strenght required to unclip some bits, me having to move around the figure and me being extra careful since it's so expensive.
    Bot mode is glorious. Yeah, it has kibble but the sculpt is fantastic and the colors look fine. I'm used to titan class figures but the size of this thing still left me impressed. The posability is good, better than most of the titans, though some care whe balancing him us needed due to the weight. I tried to give him the Shockwave Labs Predaking sword and the TR Master Sword, he has a good grip with both, the first one looks small in his hands, the second one is better but still doesn't give a huge sword feel.
    So far I can say I'm definitely satisfied with this purchase.

    Just take the rings off then switch the pieces from left to right! You put the wrong one on each side.

    I’m shocked that BBTS just processed payment for my Unicron. Guess I’ll be finally receiving my copy in the next week or so.

    That would require hiding that giant Unicron sized box from my wife for years. I live in two bedroom apartment with limited storage space.
