Editorial Review

All the Transformers must think it's pretty cool that they can transform themselves from a robot into, say, an airplane or a tank or a bus or whatever. We're sure they feel pretty powerful and intimidating when they pull off that neat trick. But compared to what Unicron can do, well, we're afraid that's small potatoes. Because Unicron can turn into a planet. That's right, a planet. You heard me: a planet. In the lore of Transformers, Unicron is long thought to be merely a legend until he shows up bent on taking over and the heroic Autobots must team up with the evil Decepticons to defeat him. Though it's difficult to rival the feat of turning into a planet, Unicron is pretty impressive as a robot as well, with glowing eyes and fist and three spring-loaded missiles. He even has a sidekick, Dead-End, who fits neatly inside Unicron's leg. --Charlie Williams

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Coolest Toys Ever!, October 25, 2003

A Kid's Review

Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:1.0 out of 5 stars 

This was my first Transformers toy. But from what I've seen, it's pretty cool! Unicron looks great in robot mode, but a little unusual in planet mode. It's not a big deal, unless you go nuts at the sight of an object that isin't round, but is supposed to look like a planet! I'm not a Transformers collecter, but I have to say this is pretty cool! If you buy this for a little kid though, Make sure they don't make any "rude gestures" with the hands. One of the best things about it is that it does NOT have many small pieces to lose. Although it costs alot,(and takes FOREVER to unpack), it's worth the money! Plus All the kids on my block love it! So, to rap it up Unicron is a great toy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Unicron is Awsome!, October 30, 2003

Unicron is one of the biggest, baddest, and coolest transformers out there. He makes a great addition to any collection or is a great transformer to start your collection with. Both of his modes are awsome and both have their own special features. If you like transformers or want to get involved with transformers than this is the toy for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Here after 17 years, November 29, 2003

By	T. Sparks (Leesville, LA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Durability:4.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars 

I just got started building my Transformers collection (something I've been threatening to do since my Freshman year of high school,) so Unicron was one of the first figures I got.

I wasn't disappointed. Unicron is super posable and has more gimmicks than you can shake a fusion cannon at--or a stick, anyway.

My only gripe is that he's very difficult to transform--Hasbro wasn't lying when they gave him an "expert level" rating of 4 on their Transformation difficulty scale. Children are going to have a hard time with Unicron, both because he's so difficult to change into a planet and because he's just too big for smaller hands. Collectors, however, will be thrilled.

It boils down to this: if you're a collector, then you need one. If you're buying this for a child under 8 or so, you might want to give this one a second thought.
