I hope to see him soon, I'm not into the StarWars line(any of them) but this figure I wouldn't mind having.

That is actually a damn good idea...

Yes, but Unicron looks GOOD in both modes none-the-less. (Also I hate most electronic gimmicks in tfs.)
He als has better articulation than Primus and is easier to pose.
Ive said it before, and I'll say it again, PASS.
Looks like ass, shouldnt be vader, epic fail.

I hate Unicron's floppy planet halves in robot mode, poor design. A growling Unicron would have rocked.

Technically, yes, but how many do you think would sell if the Death Star transformed into a crusty old white guy versus transforming into Vader?

The obvious choice for selling it AND pleaseing fans would have been the Emperor. Hasbro didnt think of that one.

Darth Vader truly has surpassed his master, in retail appeal.
I can never get into these, I would rather just have play sets( I know sometimes they do not sell well) but these things warm the shelves as well, or and actual new version of the Death star this size with fighters and opening bays, shooting weapons, lights and such.
I just think that would be a better way to go with Star Wars, also these confuse the hell out of parents going shopping for Transformers or Star Wars, as well as stockers.
I have seen the mental breakdown on the isle many a time.

I've been unimpressed by most of this line and the one figure (well and Arc 170 in blue) that I like has to be most expensive. My luck. "Sigh".

Not really. There's stuff I like. I just REALLY dont like this. Havnt liked it pretty much since its announcment.
Im sure I'll really like the Shouki I just bought offa you...

Im sure he is of comparable size to Primus and Unicron, but he just doesn't look it in that packaging.

I don't understand what you don't like about it compared to say, Primus. Both have similarly good alternate mode, both are well articulated in robot mode and have similar kibble, yet, Primus has basic electrocs but the cool key-activated transformation while Vader has better electronics and even more playability with all the little compartments and stuff. Is it only the head that bothers you? Is that enough to call a toy crap? I don't think so.

The Hans Solo/Chewbacca set pretty much tops all Cybertron toys except Primus in my book.
