Actually, That's a really nice sculpt. Like the high Dracula collar.

I'm guessing somewhere in the "more than I'd like to pay" price-range..the only thing close to a lamp that I had similar was that 25th anniversary Mega Man statue. That I unboxed, turned on, realized I had no where to put it, re-boxed, and sold it within a few weeksSigma Magnus wrote:...while I don't think it would actually provide a lot of illumination...holy SCRAP that looks awesome!! Any idea on a price?
That was $100 bucks, totally worth it. It was simple though. This'll be $200+ and super fancy!

I'm rewatching Unicron stuff right now, he really was scaled all over the place

Pretty much every Unicron toy released by Hasbro since the Cybertron line has been marketed as a Decepticon, most likely for brand consistency (i.e. - the Decepticons are the evil guys, Unicron is an evil guy, therefore Unicron is sold as a Decepticon).budmaloney wrote:but but he's not a Decepticon

That thing will look so cool, but I'm betting it's incredibly expensive!

Not included would be even better.

Tiny or not included. Since he is included it creates an unrealistic scale. Which creates disappointment (for me).Burn wrote:Not included would be even better.itscramtastic wrote:Anyone else think Rodimus shoulda been tiny?

I just don't get why he's included. You've got this fantastic sculpt of an iconic character, then you have this little version of the guy who destroyed him. WTF?

I would hope he'd be removable. I can nearly overlook the price of it but that ... bleh. Really off-putting.

With all them ditty dots of light I bet a corner display would look super cool, or even better yet higher up towards the ceiling. Hot Rod, I can ignore, but that projector is just silly. Seems like you can have it off though.
So what's the price speculation? I'm afraid to even toss out a number I'd be willing to sell a kidney for yet.

...Hot Rod and his translucent rod can be removed.

If you mean G1 Unicron, then yes, of course it does since they have never made a real effort to make that toy. The toys are all of Armada Unicron, a couple uses just happened to get a new headsculpt and some paint but they're still, deep down, Armada Unicron.DeathReviews wrote:This lamp, even though it doesn't transform, look a lot more like unicron than any of the toys they've tried to make...

Funny side story, that lead in to a discussion of voice acting and how many things Frank Welker has been associated with!
Back on track, what is this "projector" ability I've heard mention of? Haven't really seen it in action yet have we?

An image of him in planet mode, or even Cybertron would of been cooler.
Still an impressive sculpture.
Posted by galvatron00 on February 10th, 2017 @ 8:15am CST
In planet mode would've been logical, the statue is awesome and so is the lighting minus the projector function. Kinda sad it's a feature I wouldn't useCobotron wrote:Because it's not that cool, maybe?

It's from this lamp. Back in the original post and photos you can see it, it had to be pointed out to me as well!transformnerd114 wrote:So is that projection of the Decepticon symbol a feature of this lamp, or is it from another, less (but still a little) awesome lamp? Please reply (I would like a reply even if you don't know, because I want to see if I get some kind of notification; I've never received one before, and I'm not sure if it even happens on this site, so I'm curious).

Thanks! In that case, I'm definitely going to get this.
P.S.- Thank you for the reply. As it turns out, it does not notify me when I get one, so I had to refresh the page. If there is a way to get notifications for comment replies while I'm on this site, can you [or anyone else reading this] tell me how to do it?

Hello!
So, while you are on the site and you want to see notifications, first you click on anyone's username right below their profile pic. At the middle of the next screen, there will be a dark gray band that has 'User control board' highlighted in blue on it. click there. In the overview section of your user control board is a 'Manage Subscriptions' tab. click that. Anything with a red highlight is new to you and if you click little notepad at the top left of the name of the thread, it will take you to the first unread post.
Either that, or you can set up the profile to send notifications to an email, if that helps!

That's how I have it set up already, though. The problem that I'm having with it however, is that while it does send me to the topic, it does not send me to my comment and its replies, but rather to the replies of the topic of the transformers-related news that I clicked on to begin with. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I don't know. Thanks for replying, by the way.
