BoBe-Patt Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 Anybody seen this yet? I've heard about it on these boards on an older topic, but I still haven't seen the pix yet. I don't know. I don't think I'll be picking this up as I still haven't picked up the first one yet! Dark unicron Quote
Doktor Gonzo Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 Well, I guess it's a better character name than "Lame-Ass Repaint Unicron".... Quote
Deadzone Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 People in the tranformers forums actually like unicron that way. Go figure. I think the thing looks like unicron's hiddeous brother. Something went wrong in the pregnancy and that's what you come out looking like. Quote
NSJ23 Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 Well, I guess it's a better character name than "Lame-Ass Repaint Unicron".... LOL!!! Quote
kidkorrupt Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 damn hasbro kows how to milk their molds. i dont like the scuplt....i would rather buy a 1/48 first then this. Quote
Sebastian Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 I really dislike the Unicon. Now even more. Quote
NSJ23 Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 damn hasbro kows how to milk their molds.i dont like the scuplt....i would rather buy a 1/48 first then this. Yeah, this color really stinks. But Original Uni is a whole lot lighter on your wallet than a 1/48. Quote
Captain of the SDF-1 Macross Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 We already seen this version of Unicron for the Energon line. It's on the thread about the toy catalog that features the Energon toys, including Unicron. The good part is that I get the Armada version ASAP and skip the Energon version of Unicron. Quote
Captain of the SDF-1 Macross Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 In another sidenote, Hasbro is releasing repaints of the Spychangers that were exclusive to the Robots in Disguise line. (good thing they stopped the recolored Hot Shot/Ironhide/etc. now) http://upload2.eachnet.com/upload/2693/26931441.jpg http://upload2.eachnet.com/upload/2693/26931456.jpg http://upload2.eachnet.com/upload/2693/26930985.jpg http://upload2.eachnet.com/upload/2693/26931463.jpg http://upload2.eachnet.com/upload/2693/26931446.jpg http://iping.one2three.com/myshop/upload/f...14_d0010060.jpg http://iping.one2three.com/myshop/upload/f...14_d0010064.jpg These new Spychangers are repainted to look somewhat like their G1 counterparts.

BoBe-Patt Posted September 22, 2003 Author Posted September 22, 2003 yeah, those spychangers looks like the ones that come out for RID collection. I think I'll pass. Quote
trueblueeyes Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 Oooh...Look! It's the Fisher Price "My First Devourer Of Worlds!" <_< How sucktacular! Quote
Anubis Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 Oooh...Look! It's the Fisher Price "My First Devourer Of Worlds!" How sucktacular! Perfect description for this POS. Quote
Mechamaniac Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 Dude, why call it Dark Unicron. Dark X is usually reserved for an evil version of a good character. Unicron was EVIL already!! Quote
usagiz Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 Come on, how can you go wrong with Rob Zombie repaint of Unicron??? MORE UNICRON THAN UNICRON, MORE UNICRON THAN UNICRON,MORE UNICRON THAN UNICRON... Sorry, had to share that one... Quote
muswp1 Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 How come they are using the re-paint of Unicron for Energon, but not for Universe?? After all, the storyline for Universe REVOLVES AROUND HIM! Just a thought. Quote
myk Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 He's a planet eater for chrissakes. Isn't he dark enough already? Quote
Mr.Sci-Fi Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 (edited) How come they are using the re-paint of Unicron for Energon, but not for Universe?? After all, the storyline for Universe REVOLVES AROUND HIM! Just a thought. Energon is part 2 of armada, SPOILER ALERT In the end of armada unicron is partially defeated. The premiss of energon is that in his weakened state, unicron power upgrades the decepticons ,in return they will hunt down the energy that unicron needs to make a full comeback. This repaint of unicron is suppose to represent him in a weakened level like he's powered down. The universe story is a whole different story, not even related to armada or energon I beleive, kind of a ulternate universe thing. Edited September 23, 2003 by Mr.Sci-Fi Quote
myk Posted September 24, 2003 Posted September 24, 2003 That's a nice way to justify a mere repaint. If this is supposed to mean he's powered down, does that mean that his fist and eyes won't light up like the current Unicron? Quote
Subotnik Posted September 24, 2003 Posted September 24, 2003 (edited) That picture doesn't do the mold justice. I reckon he'll look good in person, just like Armada Unicron does. The chest and hand are orange, so it should balance out nicely with the black. Here's my unicron: http://fs1r.homestead.com/files/unicron1.jpg http://fs1r.homestead.com/files/unicron2.jpg Edited September 24, 2003 by Subotnik Quote
UN Spacy Posted September 24, 2003 Posted September 24, 2003 http://fs1r.homestead.com/files/unicron2.jpg Hey Subotnik? Is the Unit 01 (from Evangelion) on your shelf a toy or model? It looks pretty darned big standing next to those other figures, and I still can't find a Unicron in the Bay Area (not that I've been checking that much). Everytime I'm in Wal-Mart or Target they're out of stock. Oh well......c'est la vie. B) Quote

Subotnik Posted September 24, 2003 Posted September 24, 2003 Thats a PG EVA 01 is I'm not mistake. B) Yup. Damn good thing it is too, probably my favourite of all the EVA versions available. Super poseable, a ton of accessories, the generator battery pack and light up shoulders, the only downside is the difficulty of putting the vinyl over the internal skeleton. Quote

B) I feel yah man, but I've been only able to find this unicron at wal-mart for like a dollar cheaper than targets. 48.88. And yet everytime I go and find it, I don't have money!!! Argh!!! I gots ta save up for it. But then the new soundwave is calling me...... Quote
Deadzone Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 I was wondering, does anybody know the approxiamate scale of the unicron toy. I imagine it would have to be something like 1/10,000,000 or some ridiculous number like that. Quote
