    Anyone can say that because Hasbro don’t want to admit just like the kingdom figures appear out of no where

    question for those of you that actually apply screwhole covers, whether it’ll be for this unicron or for other figures: how would you ever remove them if you ever need to access the the screws, like if you need to tighten a joint or something?

    It's incredibly unlikely to happen, but I'm still seriously hoping for a large Torca of sorts, whether it's mainline or Haslab. Haslab commanders and regular titans would be sick though so they don't take up shelf space at retail.

    Hasbro has people how lurk on these forms and others and are no doubt aware of our grievances.

    I wonder if they will respond in any way.

    They should, because I doubt ill be backing the next TF Haslab project unless they do.

    I mean sure, if you want to actually believe someone somehow smuggled out a 2+ foot tall transformer.

    What's harder to believe, Hasbro actually kept eyes on them, or that someone smuggled out a child-sized figure?

    I... agree. The issues don't even begin to ruin the figure for me, and it still will be the crown jewel of my collection.

    But you're right. There shouldn't be any issues. There shouldn't be a single damn thing wrong with this. It's too expensive to not look nearly identical to the original prototype we saw. This figure has no excuse to not be perfect.

    a factory worker with one of these bad boys could easily smuggle 2 unicrons at a time ^.^

    None of us knows why it isn't "perfect" - cost, materials issues, human error.

    How any of us can think there's no possible excuse for something to which we're not privy is astounding to me.

    Let me rephrase: there would be no excuse to not address the issues at all. As of yet, the issues have gone unaddressed.

    I seem to remember that the teeth could hide in unicrons head so you could display an open mouth with no teeth? Am I wrong?

    Again, based on what? We have no idea what led to the compromises, so we have no idea if viable solutions existed. I get being bummed about the issues, but this idea that Hasbro is just being cheap/lazy/etc. is baseless. Maybe they are...but maybe not. None of us knows for sure, and so expressing our disappointment in that way is, I think, unfair.

    Complaining on a message is not going to do anything. Anyone who is unhappy with this cant just expect answers to appear on an unofficial message board. You guys really need to be contacting hasbro on their own site and or social media platforms. There’s probably a stream coming up since toyfare is canceled if it’s this important then try to chime in on the Q and A they do during their streams

    There is no way those figures and the ship are to scale with unicron

    tbh if you compare Unicron's hand to scenes in the movie where he's attacking Cybertron, I think the original Primus toy is perfectly in scale.

    I've occasionally felt that calling Unicron's altmode a "planet" was a bit inaccurate. He's large enough to devour planets.

    The guy's a dyson sphere.

    They're not even to scale with each other. The figures are too big for the ship.
