Unicron, not Unicorn · 3:34am Jun 27th, 2013
Hey, does anyone remember that Transformers movie from a while back?
This one?
Nah, mate. The first one.
Oh, this?
No, no. I mean this;
Good old 80's Transformers in delicious movie format. Sure, there were bucket loads of bad jokes and certain animation practices considered downright horrible, but hey, it was the 80's.
Honestly, I'm a child of the 90's, so I wasn't around when this came out. But I still think it might be my favourite TF movie. It was a really good way to introduce literally the biggest bad any of the Transformers have faced in pretty much everything.
Who, you might ask?
Unicron
Yeah, that's the real Cybertron. Not a small model.
That's who. For those uninformed, he is basically the Transformers version of the Devil, if he was real regardless of your beliefs, enormous, made of metal, voiced by the amazing Orson Welles, could eat entire solar systems, and if he had a musical theme with an organ, electric guitar and probably the best riff in the movie.
(It sounds silent until about 0:10, that's normal)
Now, there is a reason for this post other than explaining who Unicron is, and admittedly it's got a bit of showing off involved.
I was unexpectedly woken up this morning to find a package at my door. I knew very quickly what it was; the first thing I've bought online that is a physical object;
What we have here is a special 25th Anniversary edition (complete with fantastic moustache and goatee) of the Unicron toy released during Transformers Armada's run in the early 2000s, either 2002 or 2003. Unicron never had a toy made in the 80s, so that was the first Unicron toy ever produced. In Armada, he has some differences in his colour scheme and a few other visual changes, though nothing drastic (other than the lack of Orson Welles).
I'm pretty happy with him. He's unmodified but in perfect condition. It's good to know that some of Amazon.com's resellers can be trusted. His mini-con (the little ball in his hand) is named Kranix, after the lone survivor of the planet that gets eaten at the beginning of the film. I'm not sure why though.
His alternate mode, a planet-eating planet thing, is less movie accurate, but still fantastic. It does take some time to transform him though, at least 7 solid minutes, as some force is required.
More pictures of him below.
========================================================================================================
(Please tell me if none of the pictures work. They should, but who knows, this is the Internet)
His head unfortunately does not rotate. However, the eyes do light up.
The less pretty back view, showing his "wings", which become part of the planet mode
EDIT; Alright, since the other pictures became FREAKING ENORMOUS when I put them on Sta.sh for using here, I'm just removing them altogether. I'll see about putting them on deviantArt or something for those of you that actually care.
Needs more Yaranaika
1171216
I'm not sure it does. And yes, I did already google it with private browsing on.
Besides, I'm sure someone with as much obscure knowledge as you has a somewhat more transformers relevant opinion than that.
1171264 Yaranaika is not "obscure knowledge"
1171269 Then clearly you misread my comment. I never said it was obscure knowledge, I said it was fairly irrelevant. And then I said you knew a lot of obscure things.
See? Totally different.
1171279 >knew
*know
Next time, post a less ambiguous comment
feg
1171282 Grammar Nazism aside, I sort of understand what you mean and how you thought what you did, but making the non-existent connection between your thing and obscure knowledge is only one conclusion you can get.
And since 'feg' can be anything from "Fair Entitlements Guarantee" to "Fighting and Entertainment Group" to the uninformed, I suggest making some of your own comments less ambiguous.
1171295 u fakin fegit fite mi irl rite nœw kum on do u evn lift
1171299 I can't even write replies like that :/ It's a skill I lack.
Seriously though, what are your opinions on G1 Transformers? I just have no idea, and since you're here I though I may as well ask.
1171305 The only things I know about Le Transformers are:
- it has transforming robots
- Michael Bay is somehow related to it
wate wat le fak r u sayin u kant evn
rytetipe repliz liek this wat la fak iss rung wit u maan ಠ╭╮ಠ1171311 Well, I guess you know about Unicron now too. Or at least you have a resource available for finding out about him, other than Googling him.
Oh, and Michael Bay directed the good, shit, and less shit movies from 2007, 2009 and 2011 respectively. And apparently another one coming in 2014.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
I'm too good at writing with good spelling to do it right! 
1171330 okey den tanx 4 le enfoe i zupozse nut dat il evr yuz it 4 eniting o wel den
1171335 I can translate every word except 'eniting', which may have something to do with accents and pronunciation.
1171340 It is meant to be "anything"
1171348 You mean "Ennething?"
1171350 Nein
1171355
Actually more relevant to this site than it would seem.
1171357 TL;DW
"Who needs permission? This is the internet." - truth!
1171359 Did you at least get through the intro bit?
You know where I mean.
Also, the part in question about "Ennething" begins at 2:07
And in some cases this is unfortunate. Which means there is a double standard. Which sucks.
1171361 I watched as far as the Mein Kleines Pony part at the beginning
1171367 And that's the part I meant.
Now have fun being iloveportalz0r.
1171370 Hast du Spaß daran?
1171390 Yes, have fun. What, don't you want to?
1171391 Protip: Google Translate sux. I asked "Do you have fun with it?"
1171393 I know it sucks, it's just I know basically nothing of German. So I had to use it.
And have fun with what? Naruto the Abridged Comedy Spoof Fan-dub Series Show? Or do you mean Transformers?
1171395 Hast du Spaß daran?

1171397 Well, bratan, your comment ambiguity doesn't help either of us figure out who's enjoying what!

1171420 And this is the result of talking with you. Something about sex on a post about Transformers and whatnot.
1171427 Unicron is literally Hitler and is worse than the Holocaust and the Holodomer… combined!
There, I added Godwin's Law
1171436 Hitler's moustache was nowhere near as manly as Unicron's, nor did he have a fancy metal Goatee
And since Hitler wanted to kill everyone except Aryans, and Unicron wants to just eat literally everything including space, he's more like a double-Hitler. Maybe even triple.
You know, sometimes Godwin's Law doesn't come true. It's happened heaps of times to me that the probability has remained at 0. Also, I don't care how grammatically wrong that last sentence feels, but you're probably going to correct it anyway.
1171442 fak u m8 i dunt wana korekt ur ŝit rite naow
I own the Armada version of that mold. It's quite nice. Thanks for the heads-up about the pics. They look real nice.
I will admit, I rather do like the 2007 movie. 
I think it's underrated and has probably the best first reaction to a Transformer ever, by Epps.
"Unknown I-man, if you see this SHIT!"
I'm sorry, but for me that was condensed win. 
1172632 I remember years ago I tried to get the armada mold, but I was still under 13 at the time do my parents decided no. But oh well, I've got Orson Welles now, that doesn't matter anymore!
I'm trying to get some other good quality pictures up, like of planet mode (though admittedly that's about the same as the Armada mould again, but with some differing colours, but it still looks nice).
Oh, mate, that was a great line.
I had the urge to rewatch that movie earlier this year (without the other two), and I had such a great time. It's so much better than RotF and DotM.
