    Why not Hasbro just sold a replacement head and hand? Then everyone can get a more G1 accurate Unicorn.
    If we do the mass production, that will defeat the purpose of collectible and limited version.

    Where are you all pre-ordering this? Looks good. When is it supposed to be out? Is it an exclusive? What stores will carry it? Thanks. :)

    I'm going to have to buy this Unicron, I never realised how much Armada Unicron didn't look like G1 Unicron until I saw this comparison. Next paycheck. Update: PREORDERED! :D

    How could they possibly upgrade this to be better?

    You don't know how Hasbro works do you? They would NEVER sell just a hand and a head to replace parts on a figure, let a lone a figure release 7 years ago.

    They don't sell incomplete toys.

    Yea, as soon as BBTS has him up he is definately pre-ordered! I am selling my Armada Unicron now. I wonder what kind of paint job they'll give his mini or he'll even be included...

    That's a good point. I personally have no use for the minicon so since they're putting forth the effort to re-sculpt the head, maybe they can smooth out the front part of the planet shell where the minicon used to go.

    AWESOME! I so wanna get that. Anyone want a Armada Unicron? (JK)

    Oh beware of going to that site. It's being flagged for a reason. It's being picked up as a site that might redirect you to an virus hosting site.

    That aside. It look awesome, better than I thought it would look.

    I'm really hoping Takara does that. Chances are, that they will, since Primus was C-00. Takara can put a D-00 for Unicron.

    Then it's crazy to think about it but down the line, Takara will do a two pack with Primus.

    So, BBTS has him for $135 pre-order. Was it lower than this once upon a time? And what is the MSRP supposed to be on this guy?

    I really don't want to spend nearly double what I paid for the previous 2 versions combined. But man, it looks goooooooood.

    You know, back in the day as a kid, it used to annoy me that there were no show accurate versions of certain Transformers. It annoyed me even more that there was no toys of characters like Arcee, Spike & Daniel, the Quintessons, and Unicron. Well at least now we are getting a movie accurate Unicron. I am stoked!
