    Armada Unicron. While I dig the black color scheme for the Energon Unicron, it doesn't "scream" Unicron to me. Unicron is Unicron - dark yellow, gray,red and purple. All of these colors blend in nicely, nothing sticks out, and in this case the sum is greater than it's parts (meaning the overall color scheme).

    Micron Legend :D 

    Like stated above, the Energon paint scheme is pretty badass but it just doesn't seem "Unicron" to me.

    I stil think the details on Energon Unicron are a long way better. The colored hand has more sense than the clear one on armada Uni.


    Any case, Micron Legends Unciron had some little extra painting aplications that makes him look better than the Armada release.

    The armada one is my Favorite. The black one I didnt even buy until a few years later from BBTS on a sale for 30 bucks MISB. it just never interested me instores and then they became hard to find as all the energon boxes were filled with armada leftover colors.

    I've never seen a Micron Legend Unicron. If anybody has an open one and can take some pics that'd be awesome. Especially if you can do side by sides with the Armada Unicron.

    I know of some pics with planet mode comparisons... ;-)

    Anyway, ML Unicron's colors are more saturated than in the Armad version.

    I like Armada Unicron best. Energon's looked nice, but Armada's just kicked all kinds of ass.

    Energon Unicron looks the best IMO but you really can't go wrong with the classic 86 color scheme of the Armada version either.

    sticking with Armada. but, if i had space and a way to suspend him from a ceiling or on a stand, i wouldn't dismiss getting Energon just for the Sci-Fi look he has.

    off topic, i kinda like the Cybertron Uni and his bot mode, but his alt...meh.

    I like the Armada version for the same reason as others. That being it is closest to the '86 movie. It's when I grew up and where my heart lies.

    I only have Armada Unicron. The Black Energon version looks very cool, but I didn't see the point in spending $50 on a repaint.
