*looks at Unicron* He's 19 lbs... that's like two 10 lbs cannonballs, how much metal is in that beast? Enough to kill a small animal when dropped.

Wow. Unicron is like one of those holy grail items I never thought we’d see done right. He looks amazing- especially his planet mode. I love watching that maw open & shut!
Just 1 thing... it needs to play his theme song. And maybe have voice clips of Orson Wells. :

Right? I said I've wanted a Tetrajet for years. I never said I want ALL the tetrajets!

Clearly, you were saying it with your eyes.

It’s sad how the conversation on TFW has completely devolved into nonstop bitching about the price, hollowness, lack of paint apps, lack of this, too much that; etc etc. I mean, I know it’s the way the fandom has always been, but a day ago, a Unicron of this caliber was a pipe dream. He’s incredible but seems like all anyone wants to do is complain. It’s only been a day since it was announced! No one even has an in-hand copy to really judge on this product, which is still in development. I personally can’t afford him & wont be getting one. Probably ever. But just the fact that it exists and it’s this good has me excited. Just watching the little behind the scenes video and seeing some of the process that went into making this are cool & a lot of fun. It’s like seeing all those high end collector statues on display at comic con- I know I’m not going to buy any of them, but I love to see them all the same. I can’t wait to see what the pro customizers will do to Unicron when he does come out! This already insane figure will be elevated to untold levels of incredible.

It’s sad how the conversation on TFW has completely devolved into nonstop bitching about the price, hollowness, lack of paint apps, lack of this, too much that; etc etc. Yeah, no kidding. I've all but stopped going there for any TF news anymore. I mean, it used to be a reliable place... But ANYTHING TF related that's not a Third Party toy or a Masterpiece is met with bitching and moaning. Hey, I'm not 100% happy with the prices either, but to say that this is getting fucking old is a fucking understatement. Christ, every time a new preview of the new comic series comes out, it's a slew of MEEEEHHH!!! I'M NOT LIKING THIS!!! THIS SUCKS!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE WE HAD TO LOSE LOST LIGHT AND TAAO FOR THIS BORING SHIT WHERE GAY ROBOTS JUST SITS AROUND AND TALK!!! And of course when Lost light and TAAO was out, it was a slew of MEEEEHHH!!! I'M NOT LIKING THIS!!! THIS SUCKS!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE WE HAD TO LOSE FURMAN FOR THIS BORING SHIT WHERE GAY ROBOTS JUST SIT AROUND AND TALK!!! And of course, back when IDW took over the license... MEEEEHHH!!! I'M NOT LIKING THIS!!! THIS SUCKS!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE WE HAD TO LOSE DREAMWAVE'S BEAST WARS and ENERGON SERIES FOR THIS BORING SHIT WHERE HUMANS JUST SIT AROUND AND TALK!!! Yeah, I've noticed a pattern. That said, according tot he Allspark, we have upcoming Rumble/Ratbat two pack and a fucking Rung Battlemaster! (The tiniest god ever!)

Ooh, Ratbat. There's a character who doesn't get much love despite how important he was in the Marvel comics. I'm interested, especially if they're going to be Micromasters.

Who's this Rong guy? Everyone else is an existing character.

Right? I said I've wanted a Tetrajet for years. I never said I want ALL the tetrajets! So this is YOUR FAULT then?! . I wasn't thrilled with the Siege Tetrajet mold for Screamer, Warp, and Cracker. However as new and obscure characters, the molds look more appealing. I was caving on Red Wing but that three pack looks pretty damn good too. I'm glad to see that Rung. I plan to get him but I'm even more excited for the fact that even though the first IDW verse has finished, HasTak is still willing to produce characters exclusive from that universe. My main hope is to see a Generations Tarn eventually. Everything else on display looks amazing. Definitely getting the Ratbat Rumble set. Besides that, I thought I was through with Micromasters but then they surprise me with updated Micromaster vehicle combiners. Astrotrain...all I can say is "TAKE MY MONEY". As for Unicron, I guess I have to plead guilty on doing my fair share of complaining. Unicron looks amazing and there was definitely alot of thought put into it and I can see it be worth every bit of $575. My only and biggest gripe is them dropping this on everyone and expect people to come up with that kind of dough in just over 40 days if the goal is met. Seems like they could inspire more backers by offering payment plans and then begin production when those plans are paid off.

And that’s a valid complaint. That’s a lot of money for people to come up with on short notice. I’m sure there are plenty of genuine criticisms to be made. It’s just that I saw so much nonstop whining, to the point that people were hoping the crowd funding fails just so they could see other people being disappointed. That’s pretty messed up. Thankfully they’ve cleaned up the discussion a bit since then.
I don’t know. I just don’t get people some days. This thing is so cool and out of the blue- and as a fan I like to enjoy the hobby when it gives me things really worth enjoying.
Days like this, I really appreciate the small crowd we have here.
Just out of curiosity, Mach, where do you get your TF news?
