    Default Bit of advice on the new Unicrons please.

    Hey team, my tax return is here an i have enough to splurge a little and i'm in need of some advice. I want to pick up one of the recent Unicron reissues and cant decide which one.
    I have done my homework and all reviews are different. Some say the Transformers 2010 TakaraTomy version is better and more anime accurate and some say the amazon exclusive Hasbro version is better and more accurate. Which is it? If price was no option, which one would you go for?

    I am in the same boat but I am choosing the Amazon one.

    Well I'm not getting either because I already have Armada Unicron. But if I were in sideswipes_brother's situation and money was no object, I'd go for 2010 Tomy Unicron.

    That's an old Beast Wars Neo prototype that, rather annoyingly, never came to be - he'd be better described as Galva-cron anyway.
    I agree though dude, a properly spherical Unicron doesn't seem beyond reach at all ; whether it's financially viable though is another question.

    It has been decided. I am now the proud owner of a Taktom Unicron.

    Beast Wars Unicron might have had a better looking planetoid mode, but the Armada Unicron mode has a much better robot mode. Also, one reason why the BW Unicron mould was cancelled was because it would have been really bloody expensive too. I can't remember what the recommended retail price was - but it was pretty huge. Beyond what most collectors would have been willing to pay and probably even fewer parents.
