Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1 | Transformers: Generation 1 | Season 3 | E01 | Hasbro Pulse , retrieved 2022-12-11 Unicron appears in the 2023 film Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, [27] voiced by Colman Domingo. [28] In the film, he is a planet-eater who consumes them as fuel. Devouring the home planet of the Maximals, who escape with the Transwarp Key to Earth, he sends his Terrorcon servants to find it. After the Terrorcons obtain the two halves of the key, Unicron emerges through a portal near Earth, intent on devouring the planet. However, Optimus Prime destroys the key, collapsing the portal and trapping Unicron in the other side.

Beast-War Galba Tron was later reissued in the Korean Car Bot toyline, reassigned as a Destronger and renamed Gigatron Z. Following Unicron's consumption of Cybertron's two moons, Galvatron obtains the Matrix from Ultra Magnus, believing he can use it to bring Unicron under his control. Attempting to open the Matrix to intimidate Unicron, Galvatron only prompts his transformation into robot mode and is swallowed by the planet-eater. Unicron lays waste to Cybertron, halted briefly when the young Autobot rookie, Hot Rod, crashes a Quintesson spacecraft through his eye. [11] Finding Hot Rod inside Unicron's body, Galvatron suggests an alliance against their common enemy. However, Unicron inflicts his mental torture upon Galvatron, forcing him to fight Hot Rod. Hot Rod seizes the Matrix from Galvatron during the fight and becomes Rodimus Prime. Rodimus throws Galvatron into space, freeing him from Unicron's mind-control. Rodimus opens the Matrix within Unicron, destroying his body, leaving only his head, which becomes a moon of Cybertron. [12] For a time… I considered sparing your wretched bank account.

No, the head does not need to be removed during transformation; it fits inside the planet mode by rotating his horns down. The gigantic Unicron would be our largest converting Transformers figure ever created, taking the title from our previous record-holder, Fortress Maximus.

Transformers fans may be mere humans, inhabiting a miniscule planet hardly worth consuming, but they are some of the most passionate fans out there. That’s why HASLAB, the Hasbro Pulse crowdsourcing platform, is the place to awaken such a massive project.Do they even really need to fight him? With all that gold plastic he'll probably just crumble to bits if Optimus so much as points at him forcefully.

The Takara Legends of the Microns and Sonokong Eunha Yeongung: Cybertron releases of Unicron use a lighter orange, slightly more transparent plastic, and different paint applications than the Hasbro release, for instance, the silver paint on its face highlights his moustache.

When I was a kid, my friend James Coleman assured us that he had a figure of Unicron, the baddie robot planet from The Transformers: The Movie– but it was up in his attic, and he couldn’t bring it down to show us because it was too big. We all thought he might have been a bit of a lying bastard, but his dad was minted, his house was massive, and maybe, just maybe, there really was a great big Unicron toy in 1986… Unicron would appear in Transformers Armada, voiced by Mark Acheson. In episode 23, several of the human allies discover Sideways within their computers, and attempt to stop him, but not before learning that his accomplice was Unicron within the mainframe acting as a failsafe. [21] The final season depicts Unicron as the main antagonist. Called the Unicron Battles, the Transformers Earth groups return to Cybertron. The humans learn Unicron had made the Minicons to take control of Cybertron, but the Minicons revolted and become part of the Transformers' own civil war. [22] The massive planet mode sits on a custom stand (included) to support the approximate weight of 16lb of the Lord of Chaos. So there we have it. A fascinating glimpse at what could have been. Transformers fans would eventually get a full, large Unicron figure as part of the Armada line in 2002, and an absolutely enormous definitive version of the original character in 2021 as part of the War For Cybertron trilogy. But, as impressive as those versions are, as a kid in 1986, I’d have lost my mind over this – if only James had let me see the one he undoubtedly had in his attic.To support the substantial weight of the approximate 16-pound villainous planet, Unicron requires a custom stand.
