Loopaza Mega Store on Facebook returns with some more upcoming Transformers listings from Takara, many of which are quite interesting - but perhaps the most interesting of which is an upcoming re-release of Transformers' Armada Unicron, potentially in very special colors!

But before that, there are some other news-worthy items to note. The first are listings for Beast Wars Masterpiece Megatron and Optimus Primal - Megatron is priced at 35,000 JPY (roughly 315 USD) and is set for release in January of 2019. Optimus Primal (presumably a re-release of the regular Masterpiece Primal) will be released a month later in February 2019, for 12,000 JPY (110 USD). If you want to discuss Megatron check out this thread, and post here to talk about Primal.

Secondly, and this is exciting, we have what seems to be confirmation of a Takara release of Power of the Primes Leader Nemesis Prime and Deluxe Wreck-Gar! This is our first indication of the two exclusive figures being released in Takara's Power of the Primes toyline - line integration is one thing, but it's good to hear that at least some exclusives will be transferring across too! Wreck-Gar is 2,800 JPY (25 USD) and Nemesis Prime is 8,000 JPY (72 USD), both set for release in December this year - discuss their impending Takara releases in the universal Power of the Primes thread!

And finally, the biggest new information (in terms of interest and physical size) - an Encore release of Transformers Armada Unicron, priced at 20,000 JPY (180 USD) and also to be released December. This tried-and-true mold has seen release after release, very rarely going long without a new version, but this time seems likely to be special - fellow Seibertron staff ScottyP explains:

ScottyP wrote:There is also a listing for Encore Unicron, but it is unlikely to be the regular colors. It is listed as "Micron Combine Type", and if that means what I think it means given the events of the show, this Encore is Unicron of Light!

That's right, this listing seems to indicate an Encore re-release of the green colored Unicron of Light figure, and Lucky Draw toy of which only 10 have ever been made (at the moment)! While it may devalue those existing Lucky Draw figures somewhat, this may be a great opportunity for other fans to obtain the mold in those special colors if our analysis is to be believed.

Check out the listings on Loopaza's Facebook page here, and to discuss this Encore Unicron look no further than this very thread! Speculate away, share your thoughts, and rest assured we at Seibertron.com will let you know as soon as more information on this toy comes to light!

Hmmm, having already gotten G2 Primus from the TLK line, I kind of feel obligated to get a G2-ish Unicron now.

Man, it is beyond time we got a new Unicron mold. They just keep trotting out that 15-year-old Armada mold. It's getting tiresome.

That is very surprising but potentially very awesome. I know the unicron mold is getting on a bit (3 more years uni, and you can drink in the UK!) But it's still a very good toy and if I had enough money and space I'd own every version of him.

I have a friend who deals in the rarest of rare, and I asked him if he knew anyone with a Greencron literally a week ago. It is one of the few crazy rare things I've considered trying to hunt.

If this turns out to be true, I might actually squeel.

I like the unicorn robot mode... but I've transformed him very rarely since I got one of the reissues... and it was a mess with all his panels falling off etc. Think they could do better these days, but again not a priority, I mean I'd rather see a nice homage to omega supreme done first...

Imagine if they actually make this Unicron completely solid green for maximum cartoon-accuracy.

I'm hoping that this is actually the green Unicron of Light...

I expect it's just a re-release of the original Micron Legend version.

Been thinking. I thought the green Unicron was called "matrix glow" and was based on his death in the end of TFTM?

No, early fan conjecture. The original Lucky Draw was indeed called "Unicron of Light" and is firmly based on the Mini-Con-created copy in Armada.

I wouldn't expect the toy itself being a carbon copy, but at the very least switching out the inaccurate grey for a shade of green.

That's the full price, most Japanese exporters are going to reduce it further, maybe as low as $250. Of course the shipping is going to bounce the price up quite a bit, but probably not terribly since I doubt Megs will come in a very big box since the price comes from the electronics, not the contents of the box.

As for Unicron, considering the the last two Encores (God Fire Convoy and MW Optimus Prime) there's really no way it's just going to be a reissue of the Lucky Draw figure. Expect something painfully screen accurate, entirely neon green, maybe not even clear plastic (it wasn't clear in the cartoon), and no painted details. If Takara Tomy is dedicated to cartoon accurate reissues then that's what we should expect.

The recent Platinum release had the mold showing its age a little, but not super badly. A few ratchets not quite as tight, a few sculpted details don't pop as much. The wings/planet pieces don't stay up in robot mode but I haven't had a Unicron outside of my original Micron Legend version where that wasn't a problem.

That Unicron may be quite interesting. However, I do hope for the Lucky Draw winners that this Encore rerelease have a very unique box and it have some special markings inside clearly stating that it's the "Encore" one.

Also, holy crap that BW Megs price! :shock:

True, but, the Unicron of Light was all glow-y in the show, and clear plastic has often been used to simulate glowing effects. Take Burning Convoy, for instance. He was solid in the movie, but because he glowed like the hair of a Super Saiyan God, both of his toys were mostly translucent red.

I'm calling BS. The LD Unicron is nowhere near the correct color of green shown in that screen cap. Not to mention that the "Matrix Glow Rodimus" from that e-Hobby 3 pack is damn near the same green/teal as LDU, I'm convinced he's supposed to be based on death Unicron from TFTM.

I'm not saying that you or wiki is wrong in your info, just that Takara is full of it.

But it was a Lucky Draw toy for a contest held by the Micron Densetsu Year Book 2003 (a Japanese Armada guidebook).

Maybe takara tried to kill two birds with one stone and had made the minicon unicron be green as a reference to his death in the movie. Though if this turns to be true what kind of crazy will they go for the next encore release?

I mean, Unicron didn't turn green when he died in the movie.

Yeah I'd agree that green Unicron being a TFTM homage/reference makes no sense. I don't get the folks in the thread trying super hard to turn a blatantly obvious Armada/Micron Legend based deco into something G1. Heck, it's even from the really-actually-seriously good part of the Armada show!

I second you, buddy. Though it isn't likely at this time, I really hope they can produce a Titan-class version of Unicron. That would be just straight up-and-down off the chain ;)^

I was prepared for a long winded debate over the merits of my argument, but here.

This,

and this,

to me, have a lot more in common with this,

than this.

Don't misunderstand my statements. It's fine that Takara says officially that that he's based on Micron Legends Green Unicron. I'm not debating what THEY are officially saying he is, or is based on. They can call him Arcee if they really want to. What I'm saying is, look at the colors. Cause they're a hell of a lot closer to TFTM Unicron's green explody death, and e-Hobby Roddys "Matrix Glow" scheme. I'm not trying to MAKE something GEEWUNN, just because.

..He still doesn't turn green in that sequence, whereas Hot Rod does turn blue as seen here:

Yeah roddy is blue in that toy, and now having seem his death again, the lucky draw isn't anything like that scene as pointed out to me before. In the same scene all it is, is beams of green light coming from his wounds. It doesn't change his colour scheme at all as it's quite clear.

The main sticking point seems to be the grey used on the LD. Why did Takara keep that grey from the original anyway? Is that a Lucky Draw Limitation? I mean, I know there haven't been that many LD redecos, most were chromed out (the only one I can think of is Sky Lynx Flame Convoy), but could they swap out only one color for that prize? :-?

We do see where you're coming from. However, the official word is still that the LD represents the Unicron double in the cartoon.

It is still possible the green is inspired by that Matrix glow from the movie, I'll give you that, but inspiration and representation don't always match up.

Plus in the movie the green came from beams of light that erupted from his body, he didn't glow all that colour.

It can be that to you all day, it's your Transformers adventure! Just understand that the tone initially taken didn't lend itself to that. No big deal, but don't get on everyone's case about it when they take it as a questioning of the facts when it's presented that way.

Besides, we all know what early 00s "Matrix Glow" deco from Takara looked like

Thanks to Snakas Blog, as well as Seibertronians westjames/notirish and our own ScottyP, we now have brand new images of the Takara Tomy's latest Encore announced release of Unicron. It is, indeed, based on the "Unicron of Light" combined form that the Minicon race took in order to battle Unicron himself in the last couple of episodes of the Armada cartoon. Around the time that series was concluding, there was a Lucky Draw contest in Japan, with the prize being a redeco of Unicron in shades of jade green, and limited to a reported 10 figures in total. If you're lucky enough to have one of those figures, it's value is safe- Encore Unicron (Micron Combine Type) has been redone in shades of emerald green, with extensive use of translucent plastic, giving him a deco much more cartoon accurate than the Lucky Draw Unicron. As can be seen from the photos below, he includes all the functionality and gimmicks of the only planet-former Unicron mold to date, including his chest and leg missiles, as well as his minion, Dead End.

What do you think of this Encore release? Does this reveal of the color scheme make a purchase is the figure more likely for you? Let us know in the comments below?
