This basically a Toys R Us exclusive re issue of Armada Unicron. This figure is actually difficult to find and is rarer than the original.
Unicron is the ultimate evil. The interesting thing about Unicron is that he is not just in Transformers as there is this character in the Marvel Universe called Glactus who has some remarkable resemblance to Unicron including horns. the Silver surfer said he was known by many names in " The fantastic four- Rise of the Silver Surfer" Am I right??
In G1 he first appeared in the G1 movie. Unicron was travelling the universe devouring the planets one by one. But the only thing that could stop him was the Matrix of leadership. he found Megatron, Skywarp Thundercracker and the Insecticons floating through space after being chucked out of Astrotrain by Starscream. He made a deal with Megatron to re format Megatron and the others into new bodies with the catch they they would then belong to him. Megatron refused but Unicron tortured him until he changed his mind. he made Megatro into Galvatron, Thundercracker into Scourge, Shrapnel and Kickback the Insecticons into the two original Sweeps. Skywarp became Cyclonus even though it is debatable and Insecticon Bombshell became Armada, again debatable.
Galvatron was sent to Ultra Magnus and kill him for the Matrix of leadership.
While Galvatron was busy blasting Starscream to dust Unicron went to Cybertron and devours both its moons. In the process he captured. Jazz, Cliffjumper, Spike and Bumblebee.
Unicron floated round in space until Galvatron returned with the matrix. On his return he threatened Unicron with the Matrix but Unicron was underestimated and went to attack Cybertron as punishment. Galvatron was thrown down his throat. All the Autobots arrive on a Junkion and Quintession ship but Unicron crushes the Junkion ship. The Autobots on the other ship fly it right through Unicrons eye and they are then inside him. They battle Unicrons antibody system which appear as Tenticled creatures.
Hot rod meets Glavatron and they have a fight. Hotrod manages to take the Matrix and become Rodimus prime. He kicks Galvatron out of Unicron and opens the matrix causing Unicron to explode.
Unicrons severed head is found floating in space around Cybertron.
Ghost Starscream and Scourge re activated him from inside his head
Later on in the series Starscream ghost possesses Scourge and attacks the other Decepticons. He is not fully in control so Scourge stops him blasting Galvatron. Starscream takes Scourge to Unicron's head which floats in orbit off Cybertron. He reactivates Unicron and asks for his own body back. Unicron says he will do this if he completes three labours for him. The first was to go to Metroplex on earth and steel his eyes. They do this with Scourges help as he is still thought of as a traitor. Scourge drops one of the eyes and it smashes so they had to go to Char and steel one of Tripticons eyes to make up for their mistake.
Starscream possess Astrotrain and uses his extra cargo room to store the eyes. He then takes the eyes to Unicron. He then leaves Artotrain on Cybertron at the mercy of the Autobots. They install the eyes in Unicron.
The second task was to go to Trypticon and bring him to Unicron. They then go back to Char and Starscream possess Tripticon. He takes him pursued by Galvatron and the Decepticons to Unicron and Unicron tells Starscream to install Trypticons transformation cog within him.
The third task was to connect Unicrons head to Cybertron which would become Unicrons new body and he would return. Scourge learning of this warns the Autobots. As The connection is happening the Decepticons go inside Trypticon and disable him. Starscream is unable to make the final connections. He asks for his body back so he can do this. Unicron gives him his body back. Starscream tells him to make the final connection himself and betrays him. At that moment the Autobots plant Energon Explosives just beneath Unicrons head and blow him and Starscream back into space. Starscream is left out of control.,
Unicron even though he is still a head in space still has power.
In " Call of the Primatives" You learn that Unicron was created by a being called Primacron who had created all the first Primatives. Unicron wanted to rule himself so tried to kill his creator.
That was G1.
In the Armada cartoon. Unicron appears when the Decepticons leave Earth and the Autobots are chasing them. Unicron creates Nemasis Prime who is the clone of Optimus Prime but indestructible.
There was a black hole . The Autobtos knew that Unicron was coming as the Minibots had told them. The black hole appears and becomes Unicron. He attacks Cybertron and it goes into a mini series called the Unicron battles where the Autobots and Decepticons join forces to defend Cybertron from him. The Decepticon Thrust turns out to be a harbinger of Unicron. He is an idiot. Sideways is also a harbinger but he ais also an extension of Unicron s conciousness and he tricks Thrust. Thrust ends up being killed by Unicron by crushing him until his head explodes. Thrust stole the Retrium blaster and the Skyboom shield.from the Decepticons. Sideways stole the Star saber. They together form the Hydra cannon. Unicron took the powerf rom them. In Armada Unicron is inpenitrable. The Minicons joined together to form a giant glowing green Unicron to fight him. They held him at bay.
The Autobots discovered that Unicron had a weak point on his neck so Optimus and Glavatron used this to get inside him. They found laserpods as part of his antibody system. The destoyed Sideways in Unicrons heart. Optimus and Galvatron were captured. Uncron went offline when Sideways was killed but then transforms into him planet mode. Optimus and Galvatron are fighting. they find out that Unicron feeds on hatred so he appeared because of the Autobot and Decepicons hatred. Galvatron gets sucked into the black hole but Optimus was almost rying to save him but Galvatron refused. Optimus did not want to wi that way but when Galvatron goes Unicron blinks out of existance.
In Energon when Unicron was reduced to a lifeless husk. He came across them on the planet Q . This is the planet of the Terrorcons. The planet was destroyed. by Unicron. Alphs Quintesson and Scorponok where reserected out of Unicrons lifless husk. Alpha Q finds out that everything that Unicron has devoured can be brought back so they actuallt brought back the Terricons and sent them to collect the Energon form Autobots. Alpha Q wanted to bring back his planet Q. Terricons had captured Tidalwave and he was persuaded to join them as they were going to bring back Megatron. It was never the plan but they wanted to gain the trust of the Decepticons. megatron beats Scorpanoks to a pulp and then gets him to join him.
Megatron uses Energon to reserect Unicron and wants to use him to serve his purpose.
Unicron posses Megatron as he has turned black as he is damaged. Megatron is controlled by him as Unicron needs a host. Uncron tries to destroy all of the Alpha Q planets of which there are many.
Shockblast tries to use Unicrons power as Megatron did but he ends up going insane and is crushed by him.
Optimus takes on the power of Primus adn grows to he is the same size as Unicron. They fight and punch. Unicron is defeated and turns to a tiny ember.
MOTTO; "That which does not become part of the one, shall become one with the void."
TECH SPEC; Consumption is the core of Unicron's being, providing the dominant characteristic of this dark, god-like entity. It devours everything in its path, from space trash to whole worlds, fully aware yet completely unrepentant about the dire consequences these actions have on living beings. Unicron exists above and beyond such petty moral concerns, seeking only to absorb all things in order to satiate its unquenchable and inexplicable desire for more power. This insatiable hunger has led the creature known as Unicron across not only whole galaxies, but also entire universes and dimensions as well. Since Unicron's thought processes, not to mention its immense size, put it on a plane of existence far beyond the average life form, it often employs agents to prepare the way for itself and deal with any mortal beings that could potentially stand in the way of its goals. These agents are usually super-powerful beings that Unicron has encountered and been somehow impressed by during its travels. Unicron itself was actually staggered and seemingly annihilated by the combined might of the Transformers and Mini-Cons, but many have become suspicious about whether this force of nature can ever truly be destroyed.

Primary cannon
He is 24 inches tall that makes him the biggest Transformer in my collection. We had to send to America for him. Some figures of this size are silly with no articulation but this figure is an exception as he has loads of articulation. His fingers have two joints and his thumb one. He can swivel his joints and his head turns from side to side.
It can be tricky to Transform him at first but after that he is quite easy.
His eyes flash red when you press a button on the top of his head. They also flash when his primary cannon is activated. You need a minicon to activate this. You push it into a minicon post on his back and his chest will open up to reveal a cannon which will then fire. His right fist which is translucent flashes red when you push it into his arm.
In planet mode push his pincers together and the teeth on the mouth will open and close.
In the instructions it tells you to put the planet pieces on his shoulder like they are in the Armada cartoon but they will not stay there and will fall down constantly so I leave them to one side or fold them on to his back out of view.
He already has big skeletal wings so it seems pointless to have two sets.
His stomach opens up and this can be a tractor beam but I use this to store Deadend in both modes. He is a weird minicon in robot mode. He transforms into one of the antibody laser pod drones from the cartoon.You can take it or leave it. He is supposed to go into a place near his mouth in planet mode but I think it looks silly. It does not peg in properly.
He has minicon traps in robot mode. There are also panels on his legs that look like cannons.He also has firing missile pods on his legs which fire six missiles. There are also ports on his shoulders for minicons of different sizes
His planet mode has been critisized as looking like a beach ball but I think it is prety good. If you look in its mouth it looks like a black hole.
There are many minicon ports around his round so you can choose where to put them
He has purple translucent plastic with detail infact there is so much detail on him. he looks like he has a beard and with his horns like a devil.
He is a really good figure and I don't think any collection is complete with out a version of this mould
Amazing!
