my problem is, why can't we get a new mold of unicron, (Aside his wierd Cybertron Tank mode). Why didnt they ever release the beast wars neo version? That one looked the best IMO. I'm just tired of the overuse of the armada unicron mold. Maybe the kickass awesome ever growing transformers prime show and even cooler it seems toyline will surprise us with a brand new unicron mold! all we could do is hope.......

The development of a Unicron toy costs quite a few pretty pennies, and the character slipped into obscurity with the kids.
And the only new toy I'm looking forward to is Dark Steel! O, and Unicron.

Is it just me or does that Air Raid figure looks like a commander class rather than a Deluxe class x_x?
CV Shockwave looks awesome. And I think he's a "cheat" compare to other CV w/ Accesories. The other CV w/ Acc doesnt even have a basic weapon. This guy have THREE weapons. The armblade,cannon and a huger cannon o.O...

Air Raid is interesting, but he looks like he has the TF Prime aesthetic more than movieverse.

Also, the Flash Freeze Assault set (HA SS and Icepick) are out at Kmart now for 17.99.

Amazon exclusive, so you'll have to buy him online.
Air Raid looks like he doesn't have hands...can anyone confirm/deny? The style is kind of weird, almost Prime-ish, but still Movie. I'm not excited about this guy, especially with this color scheme.

Are you sure that's not the Daredevil Stunt Team with the Silver Bumblebee and repaint of Backfire? That set is $17.99 and is much smaller than this set.

I just wished they would've changed the feet, so that he can form a proper globe, or at least 3/4 a proper globe as opposed to 1/4.

1. Although the box art shows Unicron's eyes as glowing green, we need confirmation from Hasbro (a demonstration would be nice) that the LED's inside the head are NOT red like Takara's 2010 version, but green or clear to really show the eyecolor properly.
2. Will Amazon be offering a pre-order for this? If so, when? If not, when will it be available?
Can someone at the Con check into this?

The DOTM Soundwave figures, at every size, look like shit. It's like Hasbro or Takara bought some rejected Bionicle blueprints or something.
Oh well. Looks like I'll be saving money on Transformers this year.

Positive. I checked it at the price scanner just to be sure.
Apparently, the patch that comes with the Daredevil set is worth the difference between a deluxe and an HA.
Oddly, Icepick has Autobot markings.

I'm not a fan of the Hasbro amazon exclusive unicron repainted toy. I don't like the yellow colors on the robot opening chest flaps,it doesn't blend in well with the grey colors. I also don't like the blue ocean colors on amazon unicron.
I think the Takara 2010 Unicron has the best color schemes thus far.

I also have ZERO interest in the Rescue bots toys/cartoon series.
I'm just surprissed Hasbro has the funds to do a Rescue bots cartoon series on the hub. Yet hasbro doesn't have the funds to do a retro classics TF styled cartoon series. IMO,Even a PCC or universe cartoon series with one season would be better than rescue bots.

They will indeed be green LEDs. My friend got a confirmation of this while I was looking at the figure inside its display case during last month's BotCon.User897 wrote:1.

So does the Takara version, hence my question. You ass. If you cared to read any of the reports about this toy, you would have your answer.
Anyway, thanks for the clarification, Sabrblade! This is turning out to be the ultimate Unicron!

Don't insult other forum members. This is the last I will say on it.

Awesome! If you could get some pics and email it to news@seibertron.com, we'll put it on the front page. No one else has seen these yet and it would be great to let everyone know to start hunting (for those few of us interested in G2 HA Sideswipe ).

Counterpunch- Sorry for stirring up trouble.
User897. I wasn't being an a$$. Just stating the obvious. And I don't have as much time to go through and read ALL the threads like some people do. And since you don't know me, to say WHAT
I care about is just plain ignorant.
Again,sorry for causing any trouble counterpunch.
I won't have anything else to say on this after this post.....
