    Courtesy of Robot Kingdom, it seems that we're getting a Platinum Edition release of the Chaos Bringer himself: Unicron.

    The product is currently open for preorder, and will be in stock this Christmas.

    Before anyone overanalzyes the image, that's a recycled stock photo from the 2011 25th anniversary Amazon exclusive release:
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004ZKT4KI

    Most likely official photos for this iteration aren't available yet.

    I'm not saying it will or will not be identical.

    All I'm saying is the photo is old and cannot be taken as representative of anything.

    The Amazon version is the one I decided on keeping for my Classics version over the Takara 2010 version. The green eyes was a no brainer for me. Curious to see what's actually coming though.

    An overpriced Platinum Unicron?

    It'll probably be cheaper to just get the Amazon one if that's the case.

    I've missed every version of this mold, so this is good news. Too bad the price will be crazy because if it was reasonable, I would have bought it. Maybe I should hold out hope for a Titan Class Unicron sometime in the future...

    This mold is truly dated. They need to go back to the drawing board and do this character justice.

    I just wish they would do a slight remold. Remove the shoulder horns, add a collar, give him 3 pronged feet and make the right hand solid, the light up gimmick is unnecessary. Then, it world be almost perfect.

    Hmmm had the Takara 2010 back in the day but sold it long ago. I'm not sure if I regret selling it or not. I'll probably buy it again and see how I feel 2nd time around. I hope they include a stand for planet mode.

    TransMissions was correct... Just as I suspected.
