Unicron remold and MP Rodimus??

[5FDP]

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

A new Masterpiece mold is always a good thing and I haven't got a Unicron yet (mostly due to eBay prices ) so this looks like the perfect excuse to get 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!!!

Yes, every fan who has been collecting for a while is bound to have something they bought for a premium, be re-released or reissued for less. Even something recent like MP or Henkei re-releases this last year, would probably bug some who payed heaps last year, but feel for those who paid big bucks for Gen1 or JP Gen1 toys, only to have cheap reissues this decade.

Interesting, i think i'll wait and see what it looks like before i go out and re - buy Armada Unicorn now.

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.

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

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

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.
