It does. The Hasbro Pulse page shows an unboxing, and while assembly is required, the base figure itself is in planet mode.Quote:

There have been no official announcements. All we have is reports that some UK retailers who will be providing Unicron have been told to expect it at the end of January (and have told their customers so).
Global release date is currently February, which for us could also be from then...
Everyone make sure you are well into saving up ahead of February and not leaving it too late if you didn't want to risk giving EB your money in advance.
It was slated for an early 2021 release from the very beginning of the campaign but pandemic most likely had an effect so I'd expect at least a month or 2 delay.
Another update on the Hasbro Pulse website, showing the final product (the colours look really nice now), and shipping testing in its BIG box (I could probably even fit in it).
The shipping testing is to make sure that it's packaging/toy can survive most expected shipping elements, like vibrations from travelling across the ocean and on roads, and from people dropping it from a holding height... and to make sure that it isn't crushed if other packages (or other Unicrons) stacked on top inside a truck, shipping container or in the warehouse.
Have been seeing comments about porch pirates over on TFW2005 with wry amusement. Happy to be picking it up from EB Games.Quote:

3 boxes high is human height. Insane.
How would that even fit in a normal car?
Put the seats down if you can, or strap it to roof racks. Glad mine is getting delivered
A little disappointed being late to the collectors game and not around when it first went up for preorder to grab it but hey you win some you lose some..
Jealous :) but look forward to seeing peoples images of the figure..
How are many of you planning to display it, robot or planet mode?

We have a big SUV. I still am going to be paying for my new desk to be delivered. Less hassle.Quote:

That way if necessary you have help to lift the boxes into the van, saving your backs.
Crap in a hat! I hadn?t thought of that. Mine doesn?t support folding the seats down, and I know its going to be too tall to put in a boot. And even if by chance it does, I bought two. Think I?m going to have to call in a favour from a friend with a ute.Quote:

Thats what I'm saying lol trying to squeeze a 65x65x65cm behemoth over the wheel arches & in may present an issue for some, but as Paul and SMHF alluded to maybe delivery and/or group van hire if you don't have a hatchback.Quote:

No need for any vans, utes, etc.
Anyone got a child seat we can borrow for this loose baby-sized figure? :)Quote:

Why not front passanger seat?
You may find depending on the car the angle of the pillar due to the windscreen may block the top left corner of your box from going in.Quote:

I measured this out..... tis a big boy!
I just called up EB Games to switch to home delivery but they can't do it. It looks like I will be collecting.
I wonder if the robot mode will look out of place in a Masterpiece collection...
The photo with the people in it really gives a good sense of scale with these... and is also not the most flattering of photos for two of the guys (one with the butt-crack and tramp-stamp, and one with a hole in the jeans right at his butt).Quote:
