Wish we could have gotten an animated Omega Supreme ark. That would have been amazing.
That said, I loved this design and toy. The notion of a defeated Unicron slowly returning to power makes for a great story, and a fun toy.
Now, if we could talk them into a Bludgeon repaint. Hasbro? Takara? Anyone?

People were begging for Unicron in 2004 and 2005. Not so much since he went on clearance shortly there after...

$80-$90 for a huge Amazon Unicron seems more reasonable than the $50 they want for United deluxe Ark Unicron. Limited quantities or not, deluxe Unicron is not worth fifty bucks.

I never got this guy when Cybertron was out, so I'm not familiar with him.

A tank, though knowing Unicron he can fly in this form like RotF Megatron. I did read in a review that he's supposedly based on a Scarab, which in Egyptian mythology is tied to Khepri, the god of resurrection and transformation. It was in this form that Unicron was reborn into in the Cybertron comics.

Oh, really? Interesting! I love me some mythological references!

It looks like the Insecticons got together and formed a combiner!
I really took interest in this figure when i first heard about and then i read some posts and this mold had be reused for a different line before and for the life of me i couldn't which line Unicron came from and now i know and my final verdict is i kinda like and kinda dont. When i think of Unicron, i think of a massive, planet eating robot, not a tank or some type of aircraft.

He does make me think of the disciples of Unicron in that old Marvel comic.
