    Default Takara Unicron - Hyper Hobby Magazine Scan

    New images deserve a new thread

    Unicron has appeared in the latest Hyper Hobby Magazine including a comparison shot of the new / old head mold.

    Below is the scan for everyone to drool over...



    I don't know about everyone else here, but I'm counting down the days

    That is quite a difference in the head sculpt. Glad I ordered one, though my wallet feels it

    Stupid exchange rate

    Would love to have ordered it but way to expensive for my tastes. Why don't toy companies wise up and mass release the figures all pers have been waiting for?? stupid limited releases grumble mumble

    I think that deserves an "Ooooooooohh!"
    Shame they didn't take out that missile thingy and replace it with a sound chip.

    For general sound effects or voices? If voices, it would be talking in Japanese. That is not as cool

    I beg to differ, I got re-issue Galvatron and he sounds extra crazy in Japanese!!!

    Purchased, but shall leave MISB and leave my Armada Unicron on display. While the colour is nicer on this release, I actually prefer the head of the Armada version and since that is all I can see in my display shelf ...

    Yeah I was also thinking the same - Although this new head is indeed more true to the G1 character model, it looks less menacing than the Armada one, possibly due to the round forehead.

    However overall I still prefer this new Unicron due to the more movie accurate color scheme but the teeth of the planet mode should of remained the same color as Armada .

    The Armada teeth colors would serve to match Unicron's inner teeth as in 2:09 of this video
