The official Hasbro Pulse YouTube Channel have uploaded an official conversion video of War For Cybertron Haslab Unicron.
This a slow step-by-step transformation of the Chaos Bringer from planet into robot mode. You can see how many part you need to fold to finally unleash the biggest official Transformers figure in you collection. Unicron is already shipping and it’s being delivered to all original Haslab crowdfunding backers.
Watch the video below and then let us know if you received your Unicron and your first impressions about this massive figure on the 2005 Board!

So wild when they just do shit wrong. Why wouldn't transforming something 100% correctly be top priority? Sounds like it also helps his overall appearance.
That's more of a testament to the garbage pool that is Reddit than anything else. That not a single person at least thinks,"Huh. Interesting" is proof positive it isn't worth your time. You should post a couple pics here. I haven't seen anyone else comment on this.

Yeah it’s pretty much at most around 10 new exclusive pieces in a set plus exclusive prints for figures. Beyond that, they mass produce 90% of the pieces to be used in other sets.

And legos are more or less interchangeable. Not sure how many new pieces went into the Falcon box.

Because people actually buy expensive lego sets unlike expensive transformers. Titans already struggled to sell at $160-$200, why would a $500-$600 figure ever be a good idea to sell at retail? They struggled to get the crowdfund funded, it wouldn’t do well at retail.
You also have to keep in mind that lego has its own physical and online stores all over the world to sell those sets. Hasbro has Hasbro pulse, and that’s it. Otherwise they need retailers to accept a massive dishwasher sized box to eat up shelf space.

To be fair Reddit is only slightly less of a cesspool than Txitter.

Doesn’t that undermine HasLabs entire business model?
I mean, it sucks as someone that wasn’t collecting back when it got funded, but I get it.
DaveTheCave
Why can't Hasbro just sell this normally? If LEGO can sell a giant Millennium Falcon that costs 800 bucks in retail shops all over the world Hasbro can sell this anywhere too if they really wanted

There were so few it might as well be a rumor we tell future generations around the campfire. I tried to buy one and missed. Probably for the best with how much I’ve spent this month. Pulse trying to bankrupt me.

His blue horns can pinch inward to fit better inside the alt mode. In robot mode, the inner surfaces of the two horns should be parallel. If they’re pinched together with a visible angle, then they were never positioned for robot mode. In almost all of the photos on the HasLab page, the horn on his left is pinched, and the horn on his right is not. Only the photo with the sword is correct.
If you point this out on Reddit, the responses will be:
* I don’t care.
* You shouldn’t care.
* It’s bad that you noticed this.
* You’re bad.
* I don't see it.
* You're wrong.
* I like it better when it’s wrong.

So, how are we feeling about Hasbro putting up more for sale??? (It is apparently sold out already)
firmpulse
How so? I do not have him.

Deathsaurus’ head is the hottest new mistransformation. It’s even in most of the original photos on the HasLab page.

That reminds me that it's been a long time since I had Unicron in planet mode. Maybe it's time to transform it again.

Hahaha that’s hilarious, thank you!

Unicron would lose. Especially once your cats figures out the spikey bits are fun to chew on (Ask me how I know)
CONGRATS! Welcome to the club!
