With this extension, I can definitely afford HasLab's lump sum, which will save me some money in the long run compared to if I went with TFSource. Thing's currently sitting just above 5,400 backers, so hopefully this extension will give anyone would was interested but couldn't afford to buy in some extra time.

And I just cancelled my f***ing pulse order to go to TFSource because bills are hitting harder than I expected this month. This causes me to REEEE all over the place for not waiting for actually 18 hours. Anyone have any idea if I can still cancel the TFSource preorder without being charged the NRDP? It hasn’t charged me for that yet but I’m still weary of them charging me since they were originally going to do it tomorrow.

The real reason for the extension. Nothing to do with "listening to fans" or "reading comments" AKA hollow marketing phrases. It simply wasn't going to make it. Now I assume a failure for both Cookie Monster and Unicron would be unacceptable for HasLab, or perhaps Hasbro themselves. A one in three success rate, would likely mean a plug being pulled.
Since Unicron was more there than not, they had just enough support to warrant pushing back Unicron's deadline.

I’m glad they extended the deadline for backing this project. Haven’t backed it yet, but I’m currently trying to figure out how. Really want to support our whole Transformers community/Family. Considering that the Takara unicron is going for around $300-$400 or more anywhere right now, and MP Optimus Prime 3.0 being $450, $600 isn’t that insane of a price. A lot yes, But not insane considering the size of him. I just hope that the plastic quality is top notch. It might just be me or the colors or all the panels that it kind of looks fragile (Unfortunately I didn’t get to see it in person at comic con or anything like that so I can’t speak for that I guess). I just seriously wish It was more orange and maybe have a wash on it to bring out all that beautiful detail out. Make it look a bit more Premium/Masterpiece like. Maybe a paint job similar to this:

Listened to fans, my rear bumper.
Unicron is cool, but not $600 cool. $300 cool, maybe. $200 cool, definitely, but not $600. If I have to skip a car payment or two weeks of groceries for it, Unicron also needs to do some light housework or walk the dog or dispense bourbon or something.

I don't buy statues. I buy Transformers. And considering the generally poor quality of some of the floppy and loose ones I've wound up with, you're going to be hard pressed to convince me there's $600 worth of quality there. You can burn your cash any way you like, but I can find better uses for mine.
Cheers.

Good! The insane price window was insane! Hopefully more people will back this now.
I think it's fair to say they were listening to fans. A lot of people were complaining about the timeframe and timing. And enough people have invested in this already. If they thought this would fail they'd just let it fail and figure that this was a step the TF fandom just wouldn't support. They listened about the beard, after all.

Given how much time they've sunk into designing this guy, which in turn would have cost a lot, then it's no surprise they want it to succeed. They need to get their money back on him.
Time to rant because I honestly don't give a fuck about working today.
I don't care! This is going to set a bad precedent and give Habsro more reason to do crowdfunding campaigns like this which I won't be able to support!
No, it won't. This guy is truly a one of a kind deal. In fact, IF they were to do it again I would imagine it would be for Primus.
Or a 6-foot Bumblebee.
I wanted this to fail! He's too big!
No, he's not. He's not a Titan Class, he's a God Class.
He's too hollow!
No shit! Imagine how heavy he'd be if they'd filled in all those parts! You'd be spending even more money reinforcing your shelves!
He's too expensive!
No shit! I put that down to limiting themselves to 8,000 backers. A figure which I'm sure they thought they'd easily get. "Do we go with a smaller number of backers with a higher cost or do we go with a larger number of backers with a lower cost?"
To all those detractors that WANT this to fail simply because they can't back it. Grow up and stop being so selfish. There are thousands of fans world wide that can't afford or have access to Hasbro's "exclusives", but they don't jump up and down blathering about how no one should have them then.

Good to see unicron extended, I am almost 100% confident he will get made now. And maybe I'll get to order him from Pulse too. He deserves to be the biggest and baddest Transformer toy ever created
Also:
This has been said multiple times, and it is absolutely false. Primus is about 13 inches tall, and Fort Max and Metroplex are 24 inches. Yes Primus looks good, I agree, but he is not as big as you keep thinking.

I'm not surprised at all that Hasbro decided to extend that deadline. Given the price of the figure ad all those efforts and resources spent so far, no one want all that to go to waste.
So we get five more weeks.
I did cancel my order. But still, at least I have more time to think it over. Pokemon Sword and Shield plus the Switch Mini is coming this November so Unicron's chances are slim. But we'll see...

Armada all the way, man! It's the ORIGINAL first Unicron to have ever been released and he's awesome. Plus he's now relatively cheap and easy to come by because of all the other "better" versions. I'd say get the Armada. In PERFECT condition. Don't get a cheapo junker for a Unicron Shrine. Then you'll need one more of that mold in "special" colors. The Amazon, the 2010, the Green Energon, the evil black. Then there's Ark Unicron, the deluxe spaceship that is cheap. and finally, the weird Prime Arms Micron who transform into his own head.
To go with an Armada Unicron mold, you'll need a Throne of Chaos (if you can find it) or something similar to make the planet mode GLORIOUS!

Armada all the way, man! It's the ORIGINAL first Unicron to have ever been released and he's awesome. Plus he's now relatively cheap and easy to come by because of all the other "better" versions. I'd say get the Armada. In PERFECT condition. Don't get a cheapo junker for a Unicron Shrine. Then you'll need one more of that mold in "special" colors. The Amazon, the 2010, the Green Energon, the evil black. Then there's Ark Unicron, the deluxe spaceship that is cheap. and finally, the weird Prime Arms Micron who transform into his own head.

I was actually talking about getting duplicate Cyclonuses (Cycloni?) to make him an armada, but I actually am planning on getting an Energon Unicron to go with my G2 (TLK) Cybertron. One of my friends growing up had the Armada version, and I've wanted one ever since. I saw one in-box a few years back at a local used game store, and I regret passing it up. Was planning on going after one of the G1 versions if the WfC version doesn't get funded, but I was scared off by the reports of mold degradation.

WTF?!?!?!?!? If I'd just woken up a little earlier today, I would've seriously sold some of my plasma just to barely afford this!
Well, now I can take fuller advantage of that Target sale this week. Thanks for listening Hasbro!
Ah, what a great time to be a Transfan. If only I could really afford to be the lifeblood of fandom...

I meant to say inches to mean that's a significant height difference (not just an inch or cm). Even though hes much smaller, I still like him a lot and wouldn't mind a Unicron at his size, which is what I meant. The idea of a bigger than titan unicron just doesn't appeal to me, it's like the various leader bumblebees, they're cool but dont scale, so it's not really for me.

Also:YRQRM0 wrote:Primus still looks fantastic to me, and he's inches smaller than a Titan.
This has been said multiple times, and it is absolutely false. Primus is about 13 inches tall, and Fort Max and Metroplex are 24 inches. Yes Primus looks good, I agree, but he is not as big as you keep thinking.

When you talk about scale, it's only VS Cybertron Primus I hope? Because otherwise...
Anyway, for the Unicron Trilogy universe, the Armada mold is the way to go. But for G1 accuracy, I guess only the deluxe Cybertron Ark Unicron may scale... or is it? Unicron's scale is pretty incosistent.

I can confirm that the Amazon Unicron is absolutely PERFECT and pretty solid after all these years. Too bad for the secondary market prices though. The Takara 2010 version should be perfect as well. Only the newer GREEN version may present trouble mainly due to all that clear plastics.

I noticed the extension on the Haslab website about half an hour ago. This will definitely help make it possible for me to pick up this guy. Between a few birthdays this month & a temporary unemployment, I almost had to skip him. This extra time will help & I'm sure Hasbro wanted to make this a reality as much as many of the fans after all the time they put into design & development.
