Unicron remold and MP Rodimus??

[1AZRAEL1]

Good thing I don't actually own a complete Unicron But I do hope that the new one will be better, wasn't a massive fan of the Armada version, but was going to buy it for the shere fact i want a Unicron

Im content with my Energon "Dark god" Unicron version.

Agreed. That's why I bought him instead of the Armada version. Too much clear plastic.

Not to mention pink breasted.... The Dark god version makes him more sinister and aptly so since he is the "dark Lord" of the Tf universessss, so he should look "evil" Just wish they were able to make a more rounded fiugre and not an eggnog biscuit like altmode - you know, round above , flat below, but its a small gripe. The toy is awesome enough... except for the kilos of twist ties I had to take it off from for an hour

I remember TakTom saying 2010 was going to be a huge year for them. We're 5 months in and we're only now hearing some news, though granted it's all speculation at this stage.

I don't care who the next MP is just so long as he isn't shrimpy and overpriced... Yes I mean you Grimmy old pal. I may love you but you're still too expensive considering how small you are in comparison to Prime and Megs.

I agree the scaling is an issue but I think Grimlock's design engineering was worth every dollar. (though i would have liked both arms to light up weapons)

Hopefully its Rodimus Prime with a cool trailer to play with.

If this Unicron is anywhere near close to his G1 incarnation, he will be minez.

It's a repaint with a remoulded head... erm... yeah, I'm gonna wait until I see piccies before deciding, and even then it'd have to be local. If I decide that I want one (cos it'd be nice to have a 2nd Unicron so I can display each in robot and planet modes ) and Hasbro AU decides not to distribute it, I wouldn't import it.

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!!!

Meh... I paid $145 for Unicron on the first day he came out -- I remember rushing to David Jones and grabbing him, then rushing to the food court to open him (I couldn't wait!). Any regrets? Hell no. If the repaint/retool devalues my Armada Unicron -- so what? I have no intention of selling this toy, so it makes no lick of difference if the toy goes up or down in value to me. I don't buy toys for investment purposes.

And that's why I don't have MP Grimlock. I'm still hoping Hasbro AU brings it out here.

I don't agree. I had a fiddle with gamblor916's MP Grimlock and I found it to be the most simplistically engineered MP toy. It's like half the toy is engineered like an MP, but the other half is like an oversized G1 toy. The scale doesn't bother me, but for that price coupled with price of importing... no thanks.

So... the rumours about MP Rodimus... is it Hot Rodimus or Rodimus Convoy?? Or maybe both -- i.e. the car mode can slot inside a trailer, and the robot mode can slightly transform and have a changeable face to switch between Hot Rod and Rodimus Prime! Oooohhh!

[rampagesss]

meh i have all the mass released unicron toys, so one more couldn't hurt just hope its more G1 looking that would be great

I would prefer Hot Rod rather than space wagon, but I can see the appeal of a base playset attachment. Let's just hope it's a decent size and price point.

Man, Ive been tempted to get unicron for ages. Now thats it's getting a more g1 style makeover, Im definitely going to purchase. Not that I needed it to be geewun or anything, but it's a nice bonus

This I can remember too - it was THE TOY long-time fans had been waiting 15 years for. And despite it not having a completely spherical planet form, it did the job in both modes to finally give us a properly converting Unicron toy for Gen1, not just for Armada. (we just had to spend half an hour getting it out of the packaging and twist ties first...)
