That you managed to do a decent review of this figure in only half an hour is impressive. Great work as always.

I didn't get one myself but I'm excited for anyone that has one. It's definitely going to be a piece of Transformers history.

[@blindheyena0014]

That’s not the arc, that’s the ship from the movie that had springer, ultra Magnus, arce, bluer, and daniel

[@tawdryhepburn4686]

I can’t believe you bought this.

[@lindyxmjh4589]

Bobby: "They include this ship. The Ark?" "They have a damaged face plate, I'm not sure why they would include that..." Me: "No, Bobby, No!! The comments!"

[@alphatrion100]

Its not the ark. It just an autobot ship as seen in the movie and season 3. And the unicron head from season 3. How can he not know that?

[@Sportimus]

Unipringles. Joking aside, nothing but respect for this Unicron. I didn't buy it because I just could not justify the price and there's too much going on with this design. That's just me. The Not-Zeta I find more appealing aesthetically overall despite being smaller. I prefer it (don't have it tho). But this one turned out pretty solid. Impressed with how good you reviewed it because this thing is not easy to film and show what's going on. Well done!

[@directorscarlett1932]

The kibble is removable. The KZbin channel "Prime Vs Prime" has a great tutorial on how to do it. All you need is a screwdriver and 5 minutes :)

[@suprasport9118]

Wowwwww!!! 👏👏👏👏...yeah, nah!!! That thing is absolutely Phenomenal!!! Absolutely Phenomenal!!! ..that Shot with Fort Max and Menasor says it all!! And the Top Shelf is incredible 👏🙌

Unicron's music was playing in my head this entire review

[@iamtheomnimonkey]

I haven't transformed mine yet. The planet mode is so amazing I'm leaving it in planet mode for a while.

[@Matunahelper]

Genuinely surprised you like this as much as you do. I feel I had rose colored glasses on when I backed it, plus the intense FOMO. Ever since then, the only thing that impresses me is how good ball mode looks.

[@wheeljoker]

Glad to hear you're content with the purchase, it looks great the way you put him in your display.

[@MB-vy1cy]

Almost a movie accurate transformation. Wow, that thing is gorgeous. Great review.

[@jackmanzino9212]

There are tons of videos on how to “de-kibble” it so if you want to try him without all the panels you can.

😲 DAG MAC!!! Looking as you hold pieces of that thing in hand. REALLY shows the BRUTE MASS of it.. Deco looks good 👍Hell of a Show peace Mac

[@therealthirst8099]

20:40 , That alone should make any buyer weary. Hasbro had all this time and money into R&D, and they couldn't come up with a better way to keep the arm held up under it's own weight? 3P combiners of a similar size don't have such basic issues like this. If it can't even hold up his arms today, imagine how things will be in 4-5 years as the plastics age.

[@maxmocs5008]

Hasbro at the very least, should send people replacement joints like MMC did with their Bruticus, but I guess because their porotype models were never removed from the stand...

[@rinzler9171]

Perhaps their R&D needs to hire a reviewer to put it to the test before full production for a third opinion.

[@juanspeko]

Thank you sir. Love your reviews

[@Ome9asupreme]

Great job on reviewing such a massive figure.

[@brenoferreiraferreira4409]

I chose the 01-Studio Cell Unicron because I believe it to be a better TF action figure (even though I never had the Haslab in hand) but I can see why it wouldn't fit your display as well as this one does so I understand why you went with it and if I was in your shoes I would have done the same. I agree that this Unicron is more in line with those new War for Cybertron Hasbro TF action figures and I also agree that for the price point it should be perfect. Thanks for the review Mr. Skullface.

[@lowellmartens6135]

Looks pretty cool. Thanks for the review. I passed on it myself mostly because I think it looks to CHUG for my collection and I don't really have the space. It does have some nice shelf presence.

[@metalliphil]

I genuinely wish I had this piece in my collection, but your declaration that even you think it's overpriced does make me feel a little better. Cheers.

[@kenistheticzero3612]

I removed the turtle shell on the back and some of the paneling on his legs, he looks allot better now and he does not require the stand.

[@TimothyLau55]

I am happy for people who like it. I am also glad that I did not get it. I recently cancelled most of my preorders, walk away from "good enough" and only buy items that I will admire at least for a few months and display for 10 or more years.

[@MisaelCastilloBrenes]

That transformation looks scary. Not difficult but too prone to break something, due to the heavy pieces and the many hinges. Congrats for you Bobby, you didn't break it! 😁

[@andreyofdoom]

The shoulder ratchets feel really scary due to the hinges they're on. Otherwise it's ok

Awesome review. I went with Zeta. There is no way I would have been able to display this one, haha. The zeta alone almost touches my ceiling in my display room.

[@superdraco3807]

Today's repeated comment: Bobby that's one of the Autobot shuttles from the '86 movie. Would have made sense if Galvatron's ship was included, since Unicron pooped it out it the movie.

[@zilvertron]

Would make even more sense if it contained the screw ship that pierced his eye instead, would tie in with the figuure much better. But maybe theres something i fail to see, never a big Unicron fan so perhaps im not the best to suggest extra fluff

[@Maxshade7]

I think the Galvatron ship is coming with the Galvatron Kingdom figure..

[@GXDoubleX]

I think there are good arguments to be mode on both side on whether or not this Unicron is worth the $600+ price of admission. The bottom line is if you're happy with it for the price you've paid, then it's worth it. As someone who have purchased a few toys in the $500-$600 range in the last year or so (Pose+ Baikanfu, DX SOC Voltes V, completed XTB Menasor), I will say that I'm extremely happy that I decided to back this Unicron late in the process.

[@kregen2275]

@@ToaofAnarchy19 Both. And tell my why I can't.

[@ToaofAnarchy19]

@@DanielGreen07 Because nobody has. The Zeta planet mode is way worse and the engineering is a nightmare. The Haslab has a great planet mode but ends up with some kibble in the bot mode. There's yet to be a Unicron figure that's managed to have a good planet mode without some kibble in bot mode.

[@passionnotparked9099]

I'm happy that you are KINDA happy with your purchase Bobby. I can't see myself with this THING. Too many Short Cuts or should we say Cost Cutting. 1. Paint, Lack there of. 2. Hardware, WTF. 3. Kibble, and Lastly Price...These are All the things that Make or Brake a Piece. I honestly think you and I would be happier if 3Zero or FLToys made this as a Non-transferable figure but more Accurate to the Movie Botmode. Planet mode is Not Needed. Enjoy your Unicron and Great Review as always.

[@joshuahowell3238]

The ONLY review I'll watch. Thanks Bobby. I'm glad you happy with your purchase, everyone knows how critical you are of mainline figures. After watching this review I am very satisfied that I took a pass on this one. Please do a Sit Down Saturday or a Versus as soon as possible.

[@endman105]

I'm really dissapointed I couldn't get in on this. But I'm glad for those that did. Very impressive figure

[@ricka6193]

Great video Bobby. But I think what it drives home for the most is, that it just makes me kind of relieved it's a pretty simple transformation? Imagine having to do something on the level of Zeta with a thing this size, it'd be a nightmare. Backpack IS unsightly, but at least you can remove that fairly easily?

[@philsavage7153]

Man he looks awesome

[@seanmac7977]

Great review and i would have to agree with all your points. I love the size and presence it brings. I just dont know if i want to display in robot mode or planet mode. Maybe i will switch it up from time to time. Definitely agree with removing the spikes hanging on the sides in robot mode too.

Wiggly pointer got me weak

[@MrMortombachman]

Planet mode looks great

[@N1thunderfan]

I think all of his negatives about him are 100% valid, which I don't say a lot of times. the one thing I will say is if the kibble really bothers people, I noticed this review showed that most of the panels are on mushroom pegs with good cut-off points. I don't know why people are upset with it. besides the Galvatron and the jaws, Hasbro literally showed us what we were getting, and they still bought it. I don't have one myself, because of college, but I would definitely pick one up if they did a second rum in say 5 years. Also, ps, the ship is the one from the movie, it's not the ark

[@vvcc9565]

honestly the hollow bits on the rings makes me think that if you point the right kind of leds at them, in a display, it might sorta light up like in the movie

[@g.b.f9859]

I cannot imagine it will happen, but I continue waiting for an upscaled Studio Cell Unicron or similar, I am glad you are happy with this one but only the planet mode was ever acceptable in regards to my tastes and how much they wanted a person to pay for this.

[@nathanthomas6566]

If I’d have bought that I’d be telling myself “doesn’t bother me” trying to convince myself “I do like it, no really, I do” 😄

Absolutely correct. It's not the Ark, it's an Autobot shuttle from the movie. I think Bobby doesn't remember the movie well enough. Now I will say that a Quinteson ship and a Junkion ship would have been great additions. There's clearly room for mor on that stand. Maybe they're planning on doing more down the road.

[@rickthames9577]

I think your review is right on. My Unicron just arrived today and I am looking forward to getting him displayed in robot mode. I really agree with your price statement. I think it should have been a little less. Perhaps closer to $450 or $500 instead of closer to $600. With price in mind, they should have included better extras, as this was basically a kickstarter campaign. Even to give us a couple of regular size (or close to it) figures of Hot Rod & Galvatron would have been better. I will not display those other "bonus" items, as they look cheap and bring down the look and feel of Unicron. You showing Unicron holding a regular figure in your size comparison is a much better way to do it. In comparison to the Studio Cell Unicron, that one does look cleaner / a little more detailed, but is also much smaller and doesn't have the impact this one does (even in planet mode). If anything, I wish this figure was taller - as he is just a little bigger than the other Titan Class figures. Overall, I think I will be very happy with this and am glad Hasbro got it done. Thank you for your review. I am going to take your advice during the transformation process this week.

[@cameronmoriarty3313]

4:25 you said the eyes are the worst option they could have done, it isn't light piping. Light piping probably looks the same in the eyes, and at the same time would add a translucent piece on the back of the head.

[@williehenrybaxtoniii1808]

Bobby - as always thanks for the vid. The behind-the-head kibble really annoys me too, plz let me know if it can be hidden. The leg stuff is just bulk, I never had a problem, but that backpack kinda messes it up for me.

[@CrimsonRaptors]

Really, awesome review, man! Not intending to knock anyone else, well maybe a little, but you have done the best Unicron transformation instruction on KZbin so far. No foolin'! I got mine coming in soon, so I'm really happy you went in on this and enjoy it as well. He certainly destroys a ton of shelf space, but all worth it and he looks great in yours. At 23:26 Either that's the largest spudger I've ever seen, or that came a different room... with a bed... so to speak. =P Man, you should have gotten two. One for each mode, Mack, lol!

[@TheForgotenStef30000]

I just got mine today, the transformation had to be one of the worst experience I had collecting! I did not like to manhandle the thing since it felt quiet fragile, it will stay on Robot mode! I am not regreting it but I had the feeling "it could have been better"

[@siniquezu]

wish i didn't miss out on this.

[@kalron27]

Man...I missed out on this guy, I just couldn't commit at the time although I could now, but not at the outrageous aftermarket prices. Oh well, at least I was able to get a Cell for a great price and that bot mode is almost perfect. However the shear size of the Haslab in planet mode is just stunning.

[@bobdobalina8910]

The PROBLEM Bobby, is that you are comparing it to $500 - $600+ Statues. They DO NOT Transform and the Model/Statue is NOT being asked to do a multiple of things. It is only meant to do one job and one job only, take you money, sit there & look pretty. Which it should for that insanity of a price point for something that doesn't move or transform. Also, i realize it's not FaaaAaaaNs TooooooOoooooys and so it falls short in that regard as well. Could they have done better? I absolutely agree, and think it leaves the door open for a 3rd party to come in and "Fix" some of the issues. Such as removing all the Planet pieces, then using them to form the planet, now you have the BEST of both worlds. Or 3P could make a better Galvatron/Rodimus, an Original Ark and a Nemesis, the Quintesson's ship, Galvatron's ship, the planet being destroyed at the beginning of the movie, very small scale Dinobots for their attack, a 2nd Head for the stand to "float" in space, a Starscream to name just a few. Then one should compare it to the cost of MP44 ($450) or a FT10 ($300 4yrs ago) and less than 1/3 the size, or Maketoys Pandinus ($500 5yrs ago). Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Bobby, but price point plays a BIG part in a fair comparison. - You can always get artsy with the airbrush. I speak paint in seven different palettes. They also could have done a "PERFECT" Edition that takes into account your opinions on it's short comings, but I literally shudder to think of the Staggering Costs involved........ $750?.... $1000??? You do you, you WIN!

[@avidexplorer]

Your review confirmed everything I expected (good and bad from this figure). The eBay price for a new one is staggering. The amount people are spending only allows Hasbro and Takara to continue raising their price.

[@itsme-notyou]

I like those micro figurines better than the main figure. The kibble is unforgivable. You end up paying just for size, not the finesse that's deserved from a "masterpiece."

[@joshuaknappenberger5842]

I think they teased releasing more ships and more minifigures to fit in that little stand--for an extra price of course. There are spots for 15 figures and potentially two more ships...we'll see.

[@jamesjustice4515]

You need one for planet mode and get another for robot mode to display together or separate and u don't have to think of transforming it.

[@THEShoky]

Well this is a filming nightmare. Lol

[@PicklerEntertainment]

Mine is en route and should arrive later today... So the question for me, is will this release take the place of my Studio Cell. I would have preferred to keep it in planet mode, but I don't have 33" of vertical clearance. I'm at 26" where I planned to display him, which means he would have to be in Robot mode. And, for me I'm just not sure the Robot mode aesthetics go with my G1 collection as well as I would like it to... We'll have to just wait and see for now.

[@gilbertwoods876]

It looks good but the kibble was my deal breaker but it doesn't look too bad but for the price it's should have been better designed but that my opinion.love my zeta one ..just because of the price and lack of kibble but wish it was bigger but they both have trade offs...
