Unicron remold and MP Rodimus??

[5FDP]

There has been further confirmation of the Unicron redeco and MP Rodimus on TFW.

S250 has also posted an interesting comment on his Twitter account. In it, he confirms the earlier information we reported about a redeco of Armada Unicron being released in September, and suggests it is a part of the Takara-Tomy Transformers Celebration 2010 initiative, alongside Masterpiece Convoy Sleep Mode and the Transformers Animated Optimus Prime / Rodimus two pack.

He goes on to suggest that of the four spaces on the Takara-Tomy Transformers celebration 2010 website, the first is known to be Masterpiece Convoy Sleep mode. The second is the aforementioned Animated two pack. The third he says is this Unicron redeco. The fourth, he speculates, is another Masterpiece - Hot Rod / Rodimus Prime.

Given the central role of Hot Rod / Rodimus Prime in Generation 1 Season 3, released as Transformers 2010 in Japan, this makes sense, and doubly so, given that the Takara-Tomy Transformers 2010 logo prominently features the arm of Hot Rod in the background.

Hmmm... I'll see how this (Unicron) pans out first before I decide to sell my Energon one.

I'm very curious as to an MP Rodimus but a repaint of Armada Unicron with a Remolded head? that's just unfair to those who've spent upwards of $100AUD in acquiring the Armada Unicron but then I suppose at some point every collector will be hit with something like that, It's my first time and I hate it!!!

Considering many of us spent about that much just to buy Armada Unicron on retail shelves seven years ago, I don't think it's that big a deal, Hursticon - it's not like you paid inflated prices, and you got an awesome toy. At this point we don't even know if the new head will be better or worse.

And nothing's 'unfair' in toys and war.

Hmmm, if they make MP Rodimus they better make Galvtron too soon after.

The worth of any toy is pretty much a personal thing anyway, some people will pay a premium for a much loved figures others wont, but might for something else. I wont say how much I paid for my Unicron.

i've got a confirmed source that says it is DEFINITELY MP Rodimus coming up.

I recently paid $100 for a MISB Unicron (the Universe-repackaged Armada release) a couple of months ago and thought that the price was quite reasonable due to the size of it (most Leader class toys are around that price).

I'd be interested in seeing what the new one looks like and may be tempted to cop up to $150 for it if it's a significant improvement in appearance.

It better be Hot Rod and not Rodimus Prime. Never been a fan of the ol campervan

[ITZTRU]

Yeah I'm hoping for Galvatron next also if Rodimus is 09

Maybe it's a Hotrod that 'upgrades' to Rodimus Prime Fan Project's Protector style

[optimus1]

MP Rodimus sounds very interesting - would this be with trailer integrated i wonder?
Or will it be just the Hot Rod component?

Any version of Unicron is good, it gives others the chance to get him. He's an almost essential character every fan should have, from G1 to modern Universe/Classics era - he's still relevant!

Unless they make that Unicron as big as Fort Max Im not buying. Im content with my Energon "Dark god" Unicron version. Wish he could be bigger though, same goes to Primus.... prolly as big as that Radio headed Prime then I can stand em side by side in front of the TF room posing like them Kings in LOTR statues
