Back at SDCC 2019 the Transformers team held a special event off site at Brick by Brick, the club where Transformers 86 Soundtrack Composer Vince DiCola performed. They had the fully functional grey resin prototype of Haslab’s Transformers War for Cybertron Siege Unicron on display along with the team from Takara Tomy and several Transformers movie personalities like Flint Dille and several voice actors. We rushed over after covering the show floor at SDCC and were able to grab, relay images that night. Today we wanted to re-share those images, a bit more refined and polished. When we cover events in real time, curation and refinement of the pics are not possible due to the speed and amount that are coming in. The goal here was to transform the big guy in real time and let us record and watch, but due to some technical difficulties that didn’t happen. We do however have some clean shots of him in both modes.
Unicron is a crowdfunding project being run by Hasbro on their self run platform Haslab. He will only get made if 8,000 units are purchased before the deadline of August 31st, 2019. This will be the biggest Transformer ever made if it goes through, based on the biggest Transformer in the history of the franchise. We urge you guys to check it out, and #UNITEFORUNICRON by backing it! You can check out all the details and order if you dig it here – Transformers: War For Cybertron Unicron.
Read on to check out over 55 HD images of the Chaos Bringer, as well as some quick videos from the event.
Key Shots, even more below the videos!

I still can’t get over how much presence this guy has in planet mode… just awe inspiring!! The rings make him come across as even more massive!

Yeah agree and disagree. I got in for the crowdfund (and should have purchased 2!)
the shell forming definitively has its pros and cons. And agree a by product of the shell forming is a bulkier figure (more presence).
Peter Jordan
The backpack is tremendous but I think it adds to how bulky the figure looks and I quite like that.

A bit late to this but my god this has to be one of my favorite looking pieces. I'm completely willing to buy one of these even now for over 1k and that has to say something about how impressive the figure is.

Thanks
The list I found said it was made by krylon… but I guess that was an error?
I've seen some on YouTube use tamiya for transformer customizations. If I can find a close match in a spray I'd give it a shot.
In the meantime
6-pack has changed a little direction. Decided to go with a combination of the ab delete and ab shell. I like how the design is going but my prints keep screwing up. Try try try again
