Transformers Unicron - Never made in the G1 line

[10incher]

Does anyone own any of the newer Unicron figures? I picked up an Armada version a while ago for a few dollars at a yard sale. He is the only "new" transformer I have, since he was never made for the G1 line. I'm glad I didn't fork out the $50 for him new a few years ago when he came out as I prefer loose figures anyway. He's missing a few pieces though

Theres one at a local flea market loose for 5 bucks. I almost picked it up, but really have no place for it.

i have 4 unicrons. 3 regular and 1 black one. picked them up for 10 bux a piece a years or so ago post x-mas deal who knows what the future holds

I remember Target cutting the price to $19.99 for these but I never found them any cheaper in the stores.

[THE KNOCK-OFF MESSIAH]

i looked at the price tags on my extras i got them from target for $12.88 nearly 2 years ago. so they wait in the closet for the future to come. im tellin ya post x-mas rules

I got mine when it first came out. My wife got it for me for xmas, paid $50.00 though. The wal-mart here in town STILL has them for $50.00! Wal-mart's falling prices? Don't get me started. I have most of the Armada line and Energon. I also got the 20th anniversary OP, both are in storage right now 'cause I lack the space for my entire collection. 7 people in one small house, not much room for a collection. I had to have Unicron though, since they did'nt make one in the 80's.

I will admit i was a sucker and shelled out 50 bucks for unicron. you can never tell when a toy will be price slashed to 10 bucks or when it will sell out at 50 bucks a pop and then you never see it again in stores, forcing you to pay 80 bucks years later at a convention for a loose one. i didnt take the chance and i got burned for it. damn you toy stores! i also wanted the black unicron but havent seen him around in a while

$12 is pretty cheap for a Unicron! I don't really collect anything new, so i am rarely in the toy aisles anymore. I don't remember seeing the black Unicron around though.

[THE KNOCK-OFF MESSIAH]

the black unicron was only around for a blink due to the over whelming amount of regular ones that unsold. so they repacked them into the rest of the black boxes. i was lucky enough to get one ;D

Anyone have a scan of Unicron's instructions? Tried to transform him to planet mode (not very hard though) and couldn't quite figure it out.

I've emailed them to you, saves me uploading them to photobucket

Awesome, thanks man!

Hey, about the original G1 Unicron toy, here's a really good site with the entire history of all the prototypes from Unicron, including the original G1 and the Beast Wars Neo. The G1 is very ugly, but for some weird reason I really love it!!

[gort]

Great link, I've never seen pics of the G1 prototype before

[10incher]

That is pretty cool, I never knew they actually had the figure in the works!

Man that G1 Unicron would have been huge. I actually like that one better than the armada version, thanks for the link
