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** · 02-09-2003, 07:35 PM

one word - sweet.

*Nickokapo* · 02-10-2003, 09:13 AM

woah...that's sweeter than sugar

Armada unicron eh...unicron appeared in armada?which ep?Unless he only appeared in the comic/manga..

i've only seen him in the tf movie.

They did?why is that?

Eh yeah too many questions

**HorseTechie** · 02-10-2003, 12:06 PM

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.

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

Shellfox · 02-10-2003, 05:31 PM

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 · 02-10-2003, 08:24 PM

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

or maybe he can, i have no idea, but it'll probably take 3 hours to transform

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.

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

's cool that he will do something more in the future eps tho

**HorseTechie** · 02-11-2003, 12:36 PM

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!!

Aww, hell no... Armada is Pain.

i just hope it comes with a manual or something, seems like they'll need it, heh.

*Nickokapo* · 02-11-2003, 01:45 PM

So the cartoon's truly gonna get renamed?
Wow...i thought raphael was kidding

BTW shellfox those are pretty cool pics

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

Raphael-sama · 02-11-2003, 01:47 PM

And why would I kid? Huh? HUH?!

*Nickokapo* · 02-11-2003, 02:24 PM

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

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

HOW WOULD I KNOW YOU WEREN'T KIDDING HUH?HUHGHN?NGUH?!GOONGALAH?!?!!

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 · 02-11-2003, 08:43 PM

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

Shellfox · 02-14-2003, 09:12 PM

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* · 02-14-2003, 09:18 PM

Ya i agree shellfox...well i do like his robot mode tho

Oh and raph ya it's kind weird

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...

Shellfox · 02-15-2003, 07:46 AM

Well at least its cards and not *shudders* McGestalt

Raphael-sama · 02-15-2003, 10:50 AM

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.

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
