    He looks nice. Proportions are good and the colors too. Spiked arms are a bit on the skinny side (seeing how the spiked club splits in half) but I think you can keep one arm with the full-sized spiked club and give the other arm a claw just like the show design. He'd look great in a Cyberverse display!

    haha, yeah this! :lol 


    IRRC, AM's for Decepticons are more animal-based and there are no Dino AM's as such.
    Read: Megs = Bat/Scythe/ Gorilla..KO = Crab, Breakdown= Rhinohammer, Soundwave = Laserbeak, Dreadwing = Fish/ray gun..Zombie Cliff = Jaguar, Jet Vehicon/ Vehicon = Iguana/ Boar..etc etc..
    Unicron's is supposed to be a Mole/ Hedgehog of some sorts...

    I want this so much. It would go perfectly with Cyberverse figures.

    You do realize he could only *look* sharp and most of that is either not as sharp as it looks or made out of rubbery plastic? Japanese toy safety standards are almost exactly the same as ours these days.

    That said, he's not getting a US release. I mean, come on, a character that was never meant to transform into anything turning into a techno mountain with his face on it? And good luck giving him a light-up fold out weapon that turns into his *left arm*. Unlike Breakdown, this guy was made to be an Arms Micron figure from start to finish.

    This is how I wanted this figure to look.

    And only 65 on TFSource for a Takara Import of a figure that's larger than a Voyager?

    Count me in.

    I kinda like this unicron but hopefully they somehow alter the story so hes no longer earth or humanity moves to cybertron or something.... im nto down with cron being earth...seems really stupid. what if he wakes up again and says "F&^k it im transforming..." hopefully the writers fix that. As far as the toy depends on how big it is...if its big i want it..if its small...frack it...

    Thank you for this photo. I kept wondering if I should cancel my preorder with TFSource, but you've rekindled my faith.

    Just so I look the fool, is that foil stickers, or does he have chrome there?

    I think it's brilliant!!!

    Great writing imo. First off, if the Autobots ever beat and finish off the cons...there will still be a reason for Earth be populated with Cybertronians, especially Optimus because the ever constant threat of Unicron waking up. This also makes the Autobots a constant and always needed force and asset to Humans/Humanity as a species forever unifying them....since you know most evil force in Cybertronian history so happens to be the core of their home planet.

    It is also a most excellent homage to Beastwars NeoUnicron...who was in fact Earth. Ah Neo Unicron, maybe some day will have a chance to own you.

    PS: I can't wait for a KO company to knock this guy off and make him supreme sized or bigger!

    I AM going to get this at some point, just need to save accordingly. I've wanted a Unicron, but I didn't want what was previously available, this is perfect. Unless, they do one even better for the Aligned-verse!

    I want to like it, I just don't dig the lack of hands and weird alt mode... other than that I think it looks pretty cool.

    Finally figured it out! He reminds me of Lavos from Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross.

    I love it when posters are so sure of something they have no proof of. Makes the backtracking that much more fun to watch.

    And I'm not 100% sold on the alt mode, but he looks completely bad ass in robot mode.
