    It's Unique Toys, so it likely won't be, if their previous toys are any indication. They're about as seamless and slick as toys that complex can be. It's one of the biggest reasons folks are so enthused they aren't dead.

    Unique Toy's favorite character has to be Megatron, this is their third Megatron-related figure in a line consisting of 5 figures so far loll

    tbf, they're filling a spot nobody else has. Everyone SPRINTED to get a Bumblebee movie Prime out, but nobody gave a shit about the other movies. BMB's OS KOs were basically all that existed.

    Yeah, which is why it's lame when people immediately want them to do stuff that's been done by every other company already. I get that they can do it better but I'd much rather they use their talents to give us things we don't already have and may never get from other places.

    I just noticed Taiwan retailers price dropped from 6500 to around 5000 TWD. It is a good sign!
    By the way, AAT price at ShowZ is $300 …

    Yes. They're some of the most involved transformations on the market, no less. Which was a given, considering what designs they've chosen to make toys of. But Unique Toys has somehow managed to do all of this without the transformations also being complete hell. In fact, if the youtube videos I've watched are any indication, they tend to be significantly easier than stuff like the official MP 2.0 Megatron. I've yet to see a single review slam a Unique toys figure for being a frustrating mess. Which is notable, given how many other recent third party MP scaled toys have been just that. Including the last one Alien Attack released, which is why this announcement poses real bad news for their own Megatron.

    Agreed, I know people have mentioned getting a new BB Prime, and they may very well make it perfect, but there are already so so many offerings that people are already happy with, despite their flaws. Hell, if BMB or whatever KO companies play their cards right, proper modifications to the MPM may very well make a near-perfect representation of that Prime

    Personally, now that UT has made a DOTM figure, I so badly want them to make a Sentinel Prime. That new KO is really cool, but it still has a bit of parts forming and is a bit too tall for my liking. Sentinel's sleek design is literally perfect for UT's style of engineering

    On a side note, I do appreciate them making 2 different versions of this, one with premium paint for a high price, and one that's more affordable to a consumer that just wants a nice DOTM Megatron in their possession without being too expensive

    I totally agree on Sentinel Prime part. If UT makes it, I will definitely get one or two!

    IMO, it's useless getting other characters when they're out of scale and the only things they go with are awful oversized versions of the mainline toys.
    That's why i would have liked to see a definitive version of the main characters first such as Optimus, as he doesn't have a good option for starters.
    A lot of people scream "damn why aren't they making a sentinel or crosshairs", but the truth is that if they were producing those characters, you would need to pair them with what? a huge damn big version of the MPM prime mold that's not really that good.

    UT is generally pretty good scale with MPMs. It's BMB that's super duper oversized (only exception is dragoon/its KO), so generally whatever UT makes will fit in with people's existing collections which is ideal for 3rd party figures. Plus hasbro and many of the other 3p companies ignore the aoe/tlk stuff so we really need someone filling those holes.

    Exactly why i would like to see a new Optimus, at least from UT, BMB's it's just too big and he doesn't improve the looks as good as Blackapple's.

    I preordered the regular version. I don’t need another megatron but I love unique toys.

    Isn't the BMB/BA Prime technically the right scale for MPM, or are we talking about their upcoming UT Prime KO?
