After a long period of waiting, the silence has finally broken. Thanks to autobase aichi and site sponsor Robot Kingdom, we have our first look at the upcoming Platinum Edition Unicron figure! A repaint of the original mold, Unicron is sporting a look very faithful to the original Transformers Movie and comes with a Kranix mincon. The packaging features some very detailed artwork of Unicron taking the damaged bodies of Megatron, Skywarp, Thundercracker, and the Insecticons as he prepares to reformat them.
Our sponsors still have pre-orders listed for Unicron for approximately $129.99-$169.99 USD, so be sure to pick yours up!

apparently the restock is legit, robotkingdom has it listed as restock available in june 2018, so its not just bbts that has it up for an ok price (after market prices on all complete unicrons that ive found are over $200)

There's also the 2010(?) Takara release.
Fenrys
Yea, it released last year, that’s why the bbts preorder listing has me confused, is bbts expecting more?
Fc203
I could've sworn this was out last year in june july for $150
Fenrys
How many releases has he had? I know of armada, energon, amazon and this one. Has there been others?

Sorry to dredge up this thread but I just got tlk cybertron and decided to look on bbts for unicron. I came across the platinum edition unicron listed as a preorder for release in July 2018. Is it getting a rerelease? Or is that just something bbts does?

And now it's $100 more…not good.
TransfanG1
$60 if memory serves…

The lamp is cool but I want a Unicron that transforms. I'm still dubious about the price….i'll try to wait for some deal. How much did it cost when the armada version came out?
Sylent
Last I checked, it was $600… and I'm sure there will be deals for it.
yvk2000
A few hundred…?

Is this just a repainted, retooled version of the Armada figure? For $170, I'd rather save up a few more hundred dollars and get the lighted statue. It doesn't transform or anything, but it's crazy sexy cool.

Has anybody gotten a preorder instock email from TF Source yet

Hopefully this gets on sale. I still got 2003 Armada but I would love the G1 remold.

What's the asking price? I can't find anything from OP. Sorry for any ignorance.

Can your attitude. I wasn't certain if it was all or not hence the "if not all".
Lex79
You're absolutely right and that's why I asked for a comparison with newer figures. If you say that Unicron have better playability and engineering that Fortress (which I already have, so I'm not in dire need of another Titan sized bot) it may be weel worth the price. It may not be in scale, but it's impossibile to make a Unicron toy in a scale even remotely accurate so who cares?

its a better toy than TR Fortress maximus though. If we are gonna compare size, both of these are bigger than MP Magnus and he costs more and all of these toys are bigger than a YF 19 macross toy which costs way more.
Point is, size and price isnt that related, its about quality and what you get for your money. Unlike Fotress maximus, Unicron actually has an involved transformation, he actually transforms instead of you taking off his head and having him lay on his stomach. Plus, he has super cool features, like a missile launcher on his chest. He feels more solid too and the articulation is great! If you didnt own either Fort Max or Unicron, then I would say Unicron is the better toy.
