Unicron Light Up Statue Lamp

This looks the bomb! Would be great for the bedside. My wife probably wouldn't allow it though but would be a great feature piece for the man cave.

Completely agree! Definitely want one of these on my desk at home. Looks amazing.

I was only looking at this this morning thinking how good it looked. I'm assuming by the generations logo its officially licensed? Even the little rodimus looks good.

I hate to nitpick such an awesome display piece... but shouldn't Hot Rod be facing Unicron, not with his back turned?

From the photos it looks like Hot Rod is removable and can also be raised higher. So I guess you could turn him around if you wanted.

Anyone want to take a guess at retail price for this?

[GoktimusPrime]

What a bright idea. :p

Well technically you wouldn't be able to see Hot Rod because he should be inside Unicron. Also, he's massively out of scale. The way I see it is that the Hot Rod figure is intended to be more of an "inset" display piece rather than literal. Besides, considering that the power of the Matrix would be all encompassing, it wouldn't really matter which way Hot Rod was facing. ;)

With a 55x50cm base and 66cm in height, I hope that you've got a lot of spare desk space available! :eek:

Wow that's a huge lamp!

So am I going to start something by asking why the light projection is a Decepticon logo?

Also Batman called. He wants the Bat Signal back...

[GoktimusPrime]

Fair question. The Blentron logo would make more sense, although they may need to obtain permission from TakaraTOMY to use it. Or just use no logo at all, that would've made sense too.

Unicron may have been non-aligned and attacked a bunch of Decepticons, he did create Galvatron, Scourge, Cyclonus and the Sweeps as Decepticons. It could easily be argued that he would have aligned himself with the Decepticons at the time, you know, beyond being evil.

This is a sexy friggin lamp!

I bet it will cost a ton though, and any single guy displaying it in their lounge can forget ever getting laid :p

Well damn there goes me buying that... Looks like PC will be stocking it.

[ZoonMaster5000]

Even at half that price I still think its too much. Hopefully no one buys them and they get put on clearance, then I'll grab one:)

More images of the Unicron statue/lamp, and another one of Unicron in planet mode... from a Hobby Expo in China this week (http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/04/24/soldier-story-unicron-update-hot-rod-337760).
There is also a grey prototype for Hot Rod, and promotional posters for the fifth movie, suggesting that future items by this license-holder could include Movie characters.
