    Separate loose Unicron head? They did it with Armada/Energon. I don't think its going to be anything large so it could even been smaller versions of Galvatron and the Dinobots? So many possibilities for add ons.

    Also, I agree that not much can be done with the kibble. The 3P version really didn't hide it that much better but we will never know because they haven't shown anything to date.

    The big surprise should be Stan Bush singing an updated The Touch video to come with Unicron, or a promise that if this Unicron crowdfund is successful, in two years there will be a six foot MP Unicron for the low price of $20,000, so start saving asap.

    Are they actually charging the full price in full or just authorization hold like other Pulse PO?

    They don't charge you anything unless it gets funded.

    Well due to having to spend $900 on brakes this weekend I’m considering canceling my order with pulse and ordering via chosen prime. It may be more, but I understand why it’s more and I can make payments on it over the next year

    You get charged to check if you can afford it, then they take that away and you will only be fully charged if it makes the backer goal. You pay when the crowdfund ends on august 31st.

    i think the paint on the chin is a good compromise between the pointed and non-pointed look

    I mean...I don't know what you're trying to argue for? You seem...VERY upset at the thought that Hasbro would try something like Unicron. Who cares? If it fails it fails. It isn't like we might not get a Unicron. We might just get a less impressive and scaled down one, but Unicron nevertheless. If it succeeds then people who backed it can pat themselves on the back for allowing something like this to succeed. I'm talking about "companies are here to make money" because I'm just keeping it real here. Hasbro's job is to push out a product that I want to buy and thus far they've been doing that. They don't actually owe me anything and I am not forced to spend money on them, but I do because they currently cater to what I want.

    During his spin-around we can get a bit of an angled look at his back under the backpack and it does NOT appear to be detailed back there. It looks instead like there's a bit of plastic there to latch it all in. So folks hoping to remove a couple of pins and remove the backpack will probably be disappointed with what they are left with.

    I do not count myself among them and am perfectly fine with the backpack as is and will still be backing it later in the month after my next paycheck. But for those who care, there it is.

    (Pic attached isn't great but honestly watching the video gives a much better look when it's in motion. [@ 1:23])

    If this is to be almost $1000, it needs at the very least clear red plastic for his abs!

    LEDs are cheap as well and his planet mouth and robot eyes could use the lights!

    If MP dinobot has LED eyes y cant Unicron who is more than double his price?

    Nope. No one is charged a thing if it doesn't get funded

    There is a 24 hr hold for the amount but that is it. No charges.

    Correct :)

    It's hilarious that you think you're making a point.

    I mean... no shit? There's nobody here that doesn't already know this.
