Until 3rd Party. They will make one because Lewin resources made that giant MP-10 that was also 27 inches tall and was similar in weight to Unicron. I know that MP-10 is simpler, but I have faith that 3rd party can pull it off 😁.

Why are they arguing about the price? They will pay 400 for a optimus that is a hot wheels car in comparison. Bobby, your space mud is a sad comment. I am not a fan of the flat looking no detail bots out there. To me Siege has been that sweet spot between G1 homage and Bayverse tech detail. Those extra details are what truly bring a figure to life

havocdogg there’s so much you didn’t understand. The price isn’t about the price... it’s about the price for something of hasbro quality. The space mud isn’t about the linework. I love the line work. It’s about the sloppy “weathering.” Listen to the conversation my friend

@@MythsAndHeroes maybe we just have a miscommunication. You liked the Sail Barge right? Did you know the quality beforehand? Your assuming the quality of this figure based on what previous similar products? I also understood that you think the weathering can look like space mud, and it does on some figures, but on others it does a great job of adding something you don't get with other lines out there. However, I see no such "space mud" or weathering at all in the promo images for the Unicron. This is why I sad it was a sad comment because its a negative about something that doesn't exist to complain about. I mean the discussion was about the Unicron and not the siege line itself right? Maybe you have seen promo pics I haven't that have weathering?

My issue with the haslab is the limited time. 45 days isn't easy for some to get that kinda extra money together, with other releases (3rd party or Hasbro/Takara) we usually get 6 or 8 months more. It's one thing if you spend 120$ a month on release and another if you have to spend 600$ in one months.

Your paying for materials people. 5 pounds more than the barge which means more material or better material. It is also 9 pounds more than the life size Cookie Monster. The Predaking they made actually cost more when broken down per pound of materials and Omega is almost on par as well when broken down cost divided by pounds. Height is not a sole indicator at all though for this project somewhat necessary. He is 19 pounds. Predaking was just over 5. Once again price is fair based on what the community has already paid per pound on recent titans. It’s just having to pay a larger sum in a shorter time. I have posted a chart in the groups in many of the comments. The chart I can’t take credit for though. Someone else did the work and posted it originally. I’m going in for 1 and maybe 2 hopefully.

Even if it only cost them 25% (which I doubt) do you think Hasbro can afford to risk putting out a million dollars for a $600 figure for a fandom that swaps $20 chugs at walmart and won't buy a damn 2 foot tall figure until its in Ollies for $40 ?

It's not that it is a bad thing, but kinda look at what has been put out lately. They are draining the fans of their funds. Jetfire, 3xseeker set. 2 leader figures, now with galactic man and Leader Astrotrain coming. A bunch of deluxes and now the reflector set as well as the recent g1 starscream,optimus prime and upcoming soundwave. That is still leaving out mp44, blackarachnia and more. If you got another 600 dollars on top of the 2000 you just spent on all that. Good for you. Most people do not have that money. They would have to drop all the plans they had to buy those I mentioned to get Unicron. And that is a crowdfund which needs 8000 people to sign up for. I just believe it is too soon and costs too much. Not that it isn't worth it. It just is not at the right time.

The more I think about it if I had this guy I would just keep him in planet mode and set it on my shelf. The planet mode is gorgeous. No need to transform him. Maybe a 3P will make a Unicron Planet statue for $200 or $300 and I would be happy with that. Another aspect for me was finally seeing the back and behind the legs. It seems that the bot folds up and the panels cocoon him. Not really a problem, but the panels and back pack don’t help his bot mode. He is amazing to look at while standing there and facing front. I fear a dynamic pose with all the panels may lessen that.

I think they did a great job as well and I can't see this being the giant Titan Class redo of Metro that many are thinking. This is going to have much better materials, it's going to have ratchets, and paint galore, and someone can say, "you don't know that" well yes, we can know, there's no way in hell that the same materials used to make Titan Meto is going to hold up a 19 lb. figure. To think anything other than that just doesn't make sense. I personally think that Hasbro is going to do well on this because they will not destroy themselves on this and the price point is fabulous in my mind. And I couldn't agree more Bobby, people crying about the price after many saying they want a giant Unicron, exactly, people need to put up or shut up. Great one guys!

Depending on where the market for Unicron goes, you might see a rise in production throughout 3P companies. The combiner market was already hot to begin with and will forever be a hot point for sales. Odd-ball characters have their place in people's hearts, of course, but Unicron? He's a big risk and every company that produces Transformers is about to find out if it's worth the risk or not because now the bar has been set. I'm surprised, though. Unicron is one of the most popular TF characters by far but he's a risky decision.

The way to do this kind of thing is to take advantage of the reduced marginal cost of producing additional units. So you start by having, say, a 8,000 pledge crowdfund at $575. Now, if it gets to 10k, the cost drops to $500. And at 20k the cost has dropped to $300. As more people join, the cost for each of them drops to the new amount. So the brave (or foolhardy) can jump in and get it started for $575, but if enough backers show up, he ends up only having to pay $300 like everyone else.

It's a presentation piece for sure, like the barge, and definitely a statement piece. The barge is cool but at the end of the day I think because this transforms the price is justified. Hell, I'll go one step further, I'm in on this just for Planet mode. That's a well proportioned alt mode, image that on a display shelf. The price tag on the barge was the absolute max I would have ever paid for it, I don't feel it's worth more.

I'm certainly getting three of them One MIB One in Planet Mode & One in Robot Mode No foolin' I was just talking about what HasLab would do next, Sundday with a friend. I said either a Titan class Unicron or a giant-sized "Ark" Autobot Base playset. He liked the Ark idea but didn't think they'd create Unicron. I mentioned that it could be a while, but I wanted it to be the largest Transformer ever made so more that two feet. Lo a behold, 27" later! With this Unicron, the Siege Skyfire/Jetfire & Omega Supreme, the Seacons... Hasbro/Takara could surprise us with anything now. =P And I'm glad we got at least some time to save up, a month and a half, but seriously 90 days would be a lot better. Eek! I love this tactic so nothing has been spoiled (talk about Black Ops Hasbro/Takara secret keepers all this time!) and they het to "dominate"... dare I say, the "Universal" news? Imagine if it's funded before SDCC? That's probably a "pie in a sky/let's see what happens" thought they had. The only negative thing I have to say is why 8K backers/pre-orders when Jabba's Sail Barge needed 5K backers and that playset was much larger, yet it weighs less that a 20lb Unicron? Honestly, this will be the test of Star Wars vs Transformers fans' deep pockets. We gotta beat 8810 backers that the Sail Barge got, lol. We just have too! Transfans Unite! =P Now, to Laura's point, I am also confused why the others are either against it or waffling on it and awesome shocked about the price?! The fine gentleman, Robert D, talks about panels for Unicron, yet FansToys Motormaster is in the same-ish situation and works great. This isn't just Hasbro, this is a joint project by Takara and Hasbro. No Power of the Primes design here. The "clean" prototype is just a 3D printed mockup. There is no mold created yet, that's is what crowd funding is for because thus is going to need a LOT of steel cut for it. Very labor intensive. Think of this time, this is a once in a lifetime release. Now isvthe time, I just wish they had given us 90 days at least. Keep up the great work, mack and mackette! I'm glad you got to this topic quickly! =P

As much as I really want to, I don't think that I can go in on this for a few reasons: 1) For a figure this big, and this expensive, I would hope for a little less of the folding panel kibble. I read another viewer's comment that said to some the kibble on FansToys Road King is acceptable but the kibble on Unicron is not. To a degree that is true, because you are not comparing apples to apples here. There is literally no where to the [trailer] panels on Road King to go. The bot is SOLID, no hollowness anywhere. Unicron may be too, but I am guessing those legs are not. I am okay with parts forming when it is a necessity. Is it a necessity here? Maybe, show me the back!!! 2) Is there going to be any die-cast? Probably not, but a figure this big, this articulated, this heavy is most likely going to need it. Even if the arms and legs are hollow, over time the sheer weight of them is going to start causing the joints to fail. I hope I am wrong and that the ratchets and teeth hold up to the wears of Father Time . 3) Show me the back!!! I have a really bad feeling that this thing is going to looks like a jumbo headmaster. Turn him around just to see the planet's mouth and pincers on his back. Albeit attempts will be made to cover them up with some of the other planet surface panels, but still visible. [Edit - Begin] So, with more pictures coming out, the back tidies up a bit neater than I feared. Not the headmaster syndrome that I originally feared. That being said, the entire section of the planet mouth cannot fold up/transform due to the gimmick of rotating the outer ring and the smaller pincers moving in/out. This means that the entire section must stay together as a unit. Most likely covered up by the multiple panels that lay down his back. Again, much better than I originally thought, but not super great either. And those legs Mack! Holy shit I did not think it could get worse. That is a trainwreck and, I gotta agree, they are gonna start cracking/stressing/breaking easily. Unless they go with that rubbery plastic which in and of itself would be a nightmare scenario. [Edit - End] I really hope that I am wrong and all of these points are invalid. Nothing would make me happier than all of the backers getting a truly monumental piece of Transformers lore. As a hardcore collector for many moons, I am sure it will keep me up at night knowing that I am allowing this opportunity to pass by. Maybe if upcoming news serve to invalidate my issues I'll change my mind. Outside of that, if its' meant to be then it'll be. Thanks Bobby to you and your crew of Dummies! Keep up the great work! Cheers!

I think it looks great and is overall worth the cost. As to the skepticism of the engineering, I think it's pretty obvious that Takara's designers have been involved from the start. A third party version would be cool, but I personally don't want to spend two hours transforming an over engineered origami puzzle with questionable tolerance issues.

Just saw the back of the legs holy crap, whoever said the panels are gonna snap is 100% correct! That being said I can see Hasbro releasing this on a small scale later on down the line at their new commander class scale or Titan. The reason being, that unlike the Barge which not to devalue the work that went into the barge or the barge itself but it is, at least design wise a battleship shaped doll house. Unicron has to do a whole lot more and the engineering is a lot more complex it would be a waste not to find a way to release it even if it means downscaling it, possibly in a different Haslab crowdfunding.

Heres the thing... if this does well, can we expect the same treatment moving forward with all city bots from Haslab? I bet it does and if the quality is there I'd be all in. So its not just purchasing Unicron, but its showing the interest for them to do more of what we want and that is very promising.

I would expect you to buy 2 of these one for each mode. And the secondary market in 2021 will command a higher premium. So you can always sell the 2nd for a profit to help subsidies your purchase. $775 is being shown by some retails so you can make $200 in profit. So $575 - 200 = $375 is the rough net cost. If one uses that strategy then it's worth it.. Finally, how long have we waited for something like this item? If not now when?

Bobby said it, as always: put up, or shut up. Everybody´s crying over such things and now it´s too expensive and "tha potaatu ships luuk baaat, meeeen". Then don´t back it, it´s that simple. The planet is a shell, where is all of that gonna go? You got a better idea? Cool, Google SketchUp is for free. 3D engineering 101 and do show, really. And on the price: if this doesn´t look like a $575 toy, with it being 4" bigger and no realistic rollout, then I don´t know what. I like to compare to Hulkbuster, because I think it´s a hallmark case: 22inch...1000 bucks. This is bigger and almost half. Where´s the sense in complaining there? I don´t see it. Will it get made? You bet yo ***. Current state: 1188 backers.

Either 3rd party makes a Scorpinok or Hasbro will but it better be the same size as all the other city bot But I definitely want this guy because for one this Unicron is slick with the design although the panels are folded on the leg I feel the panels might be able to either go inside the leg or outside at least from both the gray prototype and the colored prototype, but as I said he looks nice. The second reason is to know how he has a nice price to him, however the bot’s build is questionable as we don’t know if it might be sturdy or it will he be a discount version of Devastator (I think most of us know after watching that review). I would still get him regardless because it’s a one time deal or get one rare one on eBay for $1,000 or more.

Very interesting discussion. I find it funny that the few people backing this immediately strike back with well, if you aren't then you must be poor or your wife won't let you. For me, my wife is supportive and I CAN afford this, and while I respect the figure and individual choice , the final Canadian price all in is about $905 and I cannot look at Hasbro and say yes, this is an acceptable price for you to charge loyal fans for a toy. No toy ever is objectively worth the equivalent of 1 mortgage payment, 1 car insurance payment and a nice night out on the townwith my wife. Anyone who goes in on this needs to find some subjective justification, be alright with knowing they are being taken advantage of for their loyalty, and be able to sleep at night with that. Hope backers don't die before it releases in 2 years lmao.
