OK so this has nothing to do with TMNT but I can finally own a Unicron toy. Its not the BW NEO mold but it looks pretty cool. The price tag is around $60 Ok so planet mode is questionable, but robot mode is sweet, now I just have to break down a buy the star saber

[DarthRaphael]

one word - sweet.

[Nickokapo]

:blanksta: woah...that's sweeter than sugar :P
Armada unicron eh...unicron appeared in armada?which ep?Unless he only appeared in the comic/manga.. :teek: i've only seen him in the tf movie.
Edit:
Hasbro has requested all fan sites to remove the images of the forthcoming Armada Unicron. However, we can give you some information on it.
They did?why is that? :ohwell:
Eh yeah too many questions :P

[HorseTechie]

Hrrmm, I read the reason why somewhere, but I forgot what ti was exactly. I guess they weren't ready for the offical realise of it, and such political Hasbro matters like that. :roll:

But hay, I like. And I can only imagine just how difficult he would be to transform!

[Shellfox]

The offical reason is it was a Toy Fare exclusive. The pics were leaked before the offical release of the Mag, so all the pics were removed, now that the mag is out the picks can be reasleased.
As for his appearece, He has been in one Ep so far, but did nothing really, he'll play a larger role in future eps.

[Raphael-sama]

Exactly. Hell, the title of the series is going to change to TRANSFORMERS ARMADA: THE UNICRON BATTLES.

And hell, the guy looks BETTER than the Neo mold. Very G1 accurate, and the RING!

Unicron is Love. Armada is Love.

He'll transform?I guess he'll be a car or something...in the movie he was a planet-like thing, i don't see how it could turn into that :P or maybe he can, i have no idea, but it'll probably take 3 hours to transform :roll: reminds me of the rat-trap action figure i had, his robot form was almost unarticulated and so was the animal form, it was pretty useless. :D

Leaked pics eh?Hehehehe...dang, hasbro seems to have a lot of time on their hands, sending cease and desist letters to sites hosting divx episodes/comic scans, and now this...in the end it was probably more publicity for them, yet they waste money in something not worth taking down that will eventually make 2 or 3 more sites with the same content pop up.
Too bad he did nothing in the toon, he's such a cool character :D 's cool that he will do something more in the future eps tho :evilgrin:

Right... :blanksta:
Unicron is Love. Armada is Love.
Yes raphael, LOVE MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND, PEACE!
...raphael? :blanksta:

[HorseTechie]

Hrmm.. well, from what I did see of the pic, was that Uni did transform into a planet. Complete with saturn like ring.

*takes out screwdrivers* That's when I decided to complete dissamble them and put them back togther. If I have no parts leftover, then it's a true triumph! Bwwwwahhhahaahaa!! :evilgrin:

Armada is Love.

... :lol:
Aww, hell no... Armada is Pain.



J/k.... btw. :P

[Nickokapo]

oh i haven't seen this before:

[Nickokapo]

So the cartoon's truly gonna get renamed?
Wow...i thought raphael was kidding :embarass:
BTW shellfox those are pretty cool pics :)

[Raphael-sama]

sending cease and desist letters to sites hosting divx episodes/comic scans,

TFextreme.com was SELLING those episodes to pay their bandwidth. That's ILLEGAL. Hasbro had every right to step in.

[Raphael-sama]

And why would I kid? Huh? HUH?!

[Nickokapo]

Ohhhhhhhhhhh now that i remember reading the forum it said something about tfarchive actually *SELLING* the episodes, it's just that i used the site in the days when the eps were free so i forgot :embarass: in that case i agree with what they did, but not with the comics...unless they were selling the comics scans too o_O
And i thought you were kidding because...i don't know...actually...i don't know YOU :sweatdro: HOW WOULD I KNOW YOU WEREN'T KIDDING HUH?HUHGHN?NGUH?!GOONGALAH?!?!! :dead:
Hum...the minicron pics have 3 languages and one of em is spanish...weird, since in latinamerica they haven't aired armada yet (they're still rerunning RiD)
Maybe in spain it started airing already or something.

[Raphael-sama]

Biilungial packaging. Scourge of the Earth, I tells ya.

[Shellfox]

The more I look at Unicron the more I realise that his Planet mode sucks. Why couldn't they use the Neo prototype, forget tehj minicon ports, the neo just looked better. That and he did look a bit like he uas carring a shell on his back.

Oh well at l;east his bot mode looks Ok. I just wish most of the new bots comeing out were new chacters instead of just being the allready known bots transformed into new bodies.

[Nickokapo]

Ya i agree shellfox...well i do like his robot mode tho :D
Oh and raph ya it's kind weird :P i saw the mcdonalds or burgerking (one of the two can't remember ;) ) commercial for latinamerica and in the happy meal thing, they included some transformers ARMADA cards.
Now i was curious about this...they're still rerunning transformers RID yet they already release merchandise?Well not that i have a problem with it or anything, but they usually first bring the show here, THEN the merchandising... :ohwell:

[Shellfox]

Well at least its cards and not *shudders* McGestalt

[Raphael-sama]

What's wrong with Unicron's planet mode? It has the RING, damnit! And he doesn't have half a planet hanging off his back either, like that OTHER mold. This one trounces the Neo one.

[Shellfox]

Ok I should probly let this die, but I want people to see these guys (my fav minicons to date, and I want them so bad)
But the reason I brought this back is the alt weapon mode of one of the minis is a shuriken, while Thunderwing may not be my fav. that is one hell of an alt mode

[Nickokapo]

I dunno much about minicons but the red one looks cool! :D
btw who is this? -> http://www.jccomp.com/~stonegate/Ichy.jpg
:-?

[HorseTechie]

Ayee... what they do to Prowl!?

Well, at least Unicron was cool. They didn't do much wierdness to him. :D

[Shellfox]

Ictho- Dinosaucers

[Nickokapo]

Ohhhh dinosaucers!I love that toon :D
I wish i had some eps heh, i haven't seen that in a while :dead:

[GK Punk]

Isn't that the Unicron they released a few years ago in japan?

[Shellfox]

No thats the Armada version, there have been 3 other prototypes but they were never produced, this is the first offical Unicron Toy produced for people to play with. There is also a statue out, but that doesn't count as a toy, but it looks unbearably cool.

[HorseTechie]

Oh yeah... I was visiting a friend over Christmas and she had that Unicron statue. Very cool that one is, indeed!

(gotta love her festive spirit too, no?)

[Shellfox]

nothing like bringing back an old horse, 3 new pics of unicron, well not so much new as the shots seem to be a bit better, and a real good look at what the minicons will look like attached to him in Planet mode

[Nickokapo]

Woah the planet mode looks so cool...and so does the robot mode, i bet the toy makers got a few headaches while figuring out how to make both modes look cool while being able to transform it, but its such a sweet toy :D i never really got interested in many transformers toys untill this thread was made.
Nice to see the pics can now be used with permission :D not that i mind or anything that the other ones werent hehehe...i just thought the text at the top of the pics were interesting.
BTW...for old time's sake :P who is this?
http://www.jccomp.com/~stonegate/Tricero.jpg
I was such a fan of dinosaucers :D but i cant remember any of the names now...of course that i havent seen the show in years doesnt help ;)

[Shellfox]

http://www.jccomp.com/~stonegate/Tricero.jpg
Tricero

I do kinda want the Wheeljack toy, it just looks so weird I can't tell yet, the color scheme mixed body design its either really cool or the worst armada toy yet I can't tell

Edit
http://home.cinci.rr.com/omegasaber/tdwj.html
pics of wheeljack, I love the scarred bot symbol

[Nickokapo]

Oh tricero :D should've paid attention to the filename but it might've been abreviated or something.
Oh and pwdesai of wheeljack dot com showed me that before but it was unpainted...well, it looks better painted but i cant say i prefer it to the original wheeljack :)

[Shellfox]

Yes but wheeljack wasn't hotrods evil brother in G1

[Nickokapo]

Nope i think he was a medic or something :D

[HorseTechie]

Err...? No, (the original) Wheeljack was the engineer/inventor type. Ratchet was the fix-em up medic. And Perceptor was the scientist. Add them up and you get something like Donatello. :P

[Shellfox]

And like old toon don Wheeljacks stuff would blow up 9 times out of 10, the old mad scientist.

But really the word is the New Wheeljack is Hot Shots(hotrod if you count all the name mistakes in the show) evil Brother (thus the con sigs on his arms and the scarred bot sig)

Now if they would only make an Armada Ravage, on second thought he'd probly be like Laserbeak
Edit, sorry, it now appears WJ is not HS Brother, well it goes to show you can't trust all rumors

[HorseTechie]

Wow.. so they're even changing backgrounds and personalities of the Armada Transformers too? Glargh....

So confusing for this poor G1 fan to handle! At least Beast Wars handled it all nicely... *backs slowly away from the strangeness that is Armada*

[Shellfox]

Its been awhile but I finally found the pics

http://www.wink.co.jp/~botcon_japan/images_folder/phbjwinn.jpg
so wrong but so coot

[HorseTechie]

What da...? :lol: They are koot!

Are those kitbashes from BW figures..? Or what was the story behind this?

[Shellfox]

Are those kitbashes from BW figures..? Or what was the story behind this?
Yep, all made from BW Snappers (raphs in the right color), no clue of the story, I saw the pics a few years back, and have been tring to find them ever since
