    This.

    When things are a draw, you go with the more sensible option.

    After staring at the pics for a while, I've decided I like the yellow from the Amazon one more than the orange on the TF2010, but I prefer every other deco choice on the TF2010 one.

    It's a moot point for me though, since I already have the TF2010 and don't feel like spending $60 more on another Unicron.

    For the one asking about the leg kibble, no, it doesn't come off. There are some serious heavy duty pins holding them on, so you need to solder them off. Also, they leave huge holes in the lower leg so it won't look pretty.

    I need Kranix!! an easy way to get $15 back on Unicron is to sell his Mini-Con to B'Bantor.

    Dead End is easy to come by between all the versions, I imagine he wants Kranix because it's a unique character or color scheme.

    I prefer the white on the 2010 version and the straighter orange chest stripe, but other than that, I like the amazon version's deco more.

    I do wish the red stomach squares were clear red though, and it sucks that hasbro didnt fix takara's mistake in not painting the sides of the helmet.

    I think a lot of people are freaking out for no reason. There will be more of these from Amazon. DO NOT PAY THE SCALPER PRICE OF $300.00! It will be back at the $60.00 Price Tag.

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned GPS in comparing Unicron yet. All that gold concerns me. The real question in my mind isn't "what paint job looks a little better?", it's "Will it lose a leg, an arm, wing or head in a year or so?" So I'm wondering what type of plastic Unicron is made from, the stuff that degrades fast or the sterner stuff--if there is any.

    Because there's no gold plastic on Unicron. There's swirly, metallic orange though.

    I doubt it'll be a problem. Hasbro seems to have gotten that under control in the last few years.

    Hasbro has gotten control of GPS. And even then, Unicrons not even Gold.

    Yep, I doubt Unicron will have any problems.
