Unicron Hungers… for Sushi
Back in 2002, Hasbro delighted Transformers fans by finally making a Unicron figure. Sure, it was based on the recent Transformers: Armada cartoon, and had a different head and color scheme than the Orson Welles-voiced destroyer of worlds in Transformers: The Movie, but it was big and turned into a planet. A TF fan couldn’t ask much more than that.
…or COULD HE?!

Yeah, Japan getting an exclusive Unicron. It’s the Armada figure, but with a new movie-specific head and color scheme. Oh, and it’s already pre-sold out across the nation of Japan, so your chances of getting one are pretty much nil. You never had a chance. I just wanted to make sure you knew it exists so you could feel bad that you aren’t getting one. Because I am a dick. (Via 16bit)
