U deserve one of these👏👏. I've heard how hard it is to just transform him without stop motion, I can't imaging how hard it would have been to do it with.

Awesome video. looks like I know what Unicron I'm getting for my collection thanks😁👍

[@Windrazor8403]

Hey could that's stand your using also work for armada unicron

[@G2_Convoy]

The thing is, when it comes to Unicrons size. I don’t think people realize how big he is. Like, HES A PLANET. An entire CITY could fit on the tip of his finger. No piece of media has ever truly reflected his sheer size in comparison to the transformers. And I wish a piece of media would show him as monolithic as he would actually be if he actually turned into a planet.

[@n_ex13]

Actually he is closer to the size of our moon considering his comparative size to Cybertrons moon

[@plantainsame2049]

I mean in the aligned continuity he's the f****** Earth but in generation one he's about the size of a moon

[@yeho8]

@@plantainsame2049 if y'all wanna play that game it should be noted that Cybertron is *significantly* bigger than Earth, and its satellites would therefore also probably be bigger than Earth's to accommodate. Not to mention that in the movie he very much *was* larger than Cybertron when transformed

This version of Unicron always gets my vote for the reason that he actually transforms (instead of shellforming) and your review does a great job of highlighting how awesome this is

[@GenXToysGeek]

So well designed, the haslabs one is basically a shell former, where almso tthe entire shell forms kibble on legs and back, heck you cah even detach that all and form almost the entire planet shell outside of the robot,

[@Citranite]

I am absolutely in awe The fact you animated the transformation, made a full in depth "cell" review, made multiple skits, one of which involved Unicron literally transforming to look at Galvatrons necklace, and spent this much effort on the figure is dedication. I was impressed by Omega Supreme, but this takes what you can do to a whole new level, absolutely fantastic

[@NightmareZerogbs]

Man, this is an absolute marvel of engineering, I'd say it's a contender for best Transformation of third party figures.

[@frozenfreehand1997]

You know, I don't understand why Hasbro can't just, hire on these third party makers for some of their masterpiece/main toy lines. Probably something legal related but if Hasbro had the studio that made this Unicron, it'd probably still cost as much as their official release, but still look that amazing!

[@zilvertron]

They do and vice versa. Its much we just dont know. And then its a matter of priorities, HasTak has its to please their customers and shareholders, while 3rd party does it for the love of it and are huge fans hemselves. Sure theres been a fair share of suckage and money grabbers among 3rd party, but nowadays they dont last as long as before. When it comes down to Masterpieces Takara has to bother with a good company image with maximum profits and licensing, while 3rd party factories main source of income could be office supplies and dont have to play test their stuff or bother about licenses.

Great Review. Glad to see everyone collaborating on this review. Well done. Love the little LER humor tidbits sprinkled in there as well. I think most people who got the HasLab Unicron are not going to transform it more than once and basically got it to be the focal display piece of their collection. I still think it is crazy that they went up against the HasLab campaign and it actually was made since that was some...cajones (google translate that word, it's freaking hilarious). Always enjoy your reviews, even the long ones. I wonder what you could do with the HasLab would you ever get the opportunity to do stop motion animation on it? How much time did it take to edit and put this review all together? Just curious. I also love seeing the bumpers you made in your reviews. Glad you went full-time and can put more into your craft. Take care.

[@TheLazyEyebrow]

i wish i had of taken an hour logger to this one, because it took a substantial amount of time. but I started work on this immediately after the Dinobot review (with a sprinkling of 3 other videos in there) so it did take a while haha

@@GibDozer1 yeah if Unicron was 300-400 on the high end i would probably go for it. But initial cost and aftermarket costs make it super not worth

[@PhoenixFyre]

I'm glad I didn't back the haslab Unicron, because I was going to get him based on the whole biggest transformer, which was the whole basis of buying Fortress Maximus. Needless to say Fort Max to a lot of upgrades to not be disappointing in robot mode, vehicle mode is a bit off a loss. Plus I backed thier sentinel and it's not up to standards so who knows how Unicron would have disappointed at that price.

Both planet to robot transformations were awesome in their own ways. Peolesdru's was a cinematic showcase of what a transformation sequence should look like (he even snuck the wings into a transition) and yours with the massive amount of stuff going on reminded me of the good parts of the Bay movies. Bay might hate transformers but he sure knew how to make transforming look good...key word is "knew"

I had really high expectations, and I was blown away anyway! I mean, what was that transformation when Galvatron showed off his bling?!!! and the one at the end!!! I can't get enough of it. When such a talented animator gets his hands on such a well crafted figure, it just magic!!

[@ahchiu9]

Great job on the beginning of this review! Felt like I was watching an episode of Cells At Work!

[@Pikminer-5087]

Huge text wall about both Haslab and Studio Cell incoming: I am one of the people who actually did back the Haslab Unicron. Do I regret it and wish to trade it for Studio Cell? Absolutely not! I can see the appeal of both though. I actually don't really mind all the kibble since in my mind Unicron's robot form was sort of "birthed" from inside his planet mode, and the tectonic flap sandwiches seem to add to his beefy appearances. But I will admit he is a little bit cumbersome for being so big and I do wish I could display him. Where Cell looses me however is just how much of a mess the transformation looks to be and the lack of inherent detail. Don't get me wrong I respect what both sides did, but I do wish there was some sort of happy medium between Haslab and Cell. Big, but not overbearingly so, and detailed without being as much of a mess as Cell. No matter who you went with at the end of the day, they're both great in their own way.

[@MrSameerMalik1]

Glad you enjoyed the figure and love the review. It's made me appreciate my own Studio Cell even more again. I feel like transforming him again but also getting mild flashbacks to the trauma of the first transformations. It drew blood. Also love the peolesdru cameo, I was just thinking you should collab with him and guys like Harris Loureiro.. only minor thing I'd disagree with is the framing of the scale argument.. even though I agree that no matter which scale you choose, it's going to be wrong, and I'm 100% glad I chose to buy Studio Cell over Haslab, it's not a dichotomy of right scale vs wrong scale with all wrong scales being equally wrong.. all else being equal, bigger Unicron is better Unicron because it's closer to what Unicron should be... of course, in this case, all else is not equal, and that's why I chose Studio Cell.

[@Remember_Bubblebutt]

A brief brawl between Haslab VS Studio Cell is a GO! Planet mode: both planet modes look good, but I think Haslab takes the victory here. Transformation: Studio cell hands down. It has a genius transformation where everything has a place in both modes. Haslab is basically just take panels and crush them up into limbs. Robot mode: This one is tough for me. Cell looks really clean, but I think he looks TOO clean. Or, I guess too smooth. I like how Haslab has... those bumps and lines running all throughout the mode, but the backpack and leg kibble suck. Looking past the kibble, I prefer the look of Haslab, but with the kibble, I prefer Cell. So, in short, it's a tie for me.
