For anyone who wanted a very Clean and accurate version of Unicron, Studio Cell has that, but if you do want a Huge Unicron for the collection and a bit of a more simple transformation for being a Unicron, HasLab may be the choice But nonetheless, the 2 Unicrons are both good in their own right
I'm beyond happy with Studio Cell, I really prefer the cleaner cartoon aesthetic he has and the lack of backpack. I can live with him not being as big.
I had the Studio Cell and sold it on eBay after this one arrived. Studio Cell was decent but it jsut looked weak in comparison to me. My collection is focused around the original animated movie and MOST of the movie Unicron is in planet mode. The difference between the two toys in planet modes isn't even close. The Haslab version is WAY more detailed and it has sooo much more presence in your collection. The Studio Cell version feels more like a large combiner than it does the biggest baddest transformer of all time. Originally I was goin got keep both but ultimately I just didnt even want to display the studio cell version anymore.
Ah yes the WALLET EATER, the devourer of Bank Accounts, the debt bringer, HASLAB UNICRON. Definitely one I’m not gonna deliberately get unless I win the lottery. And for the most part I’m glad it turned out pretty well.
Look if you had to chooae between this or the new masterpiece optimus prime back when it was released on 450 to 500 dollars this is a bargain compared to that.
I just don't want it because it's just a origami set made in plastic and basically has large shells all over it which id rather not. Id far prefer studio cell even if its smaller and more fragile.
When you take Unicron off the display base to transform him while standing up, it's like suplexing a robot the size of a small child, and stuffing him into beachball.
It's finally here. The review we've been waiting for since the first announcement of Unicron, because most of us can't afford him. I've been looking forward to this!
i actually don't mind those kibbles..... It's like how Optimus prime still shows the wheels in his robot mode, I do like things that resemble the planet mode in his robot mode. That being said, the studio cell unicron is downright wizardry when it comes to its engineering
I appreciate your comparison at the end of Unicron vs Cell. I'm of the mind to pay for engineering over mass. Jumped on Cell, passed on Unicron. A very logical take on the argument though
At the time, he was just doing it for the money and that's why he sounded like he was phoning it in. I imagine that if Unicron's backstory had existed, he might have taken the role a bit more seriously as Satan tempting the villain into helping him kill God.
@@DFloyd84 at the time he did it( also being the last role he ever did before he passed) he was bedridden, and on oxygen . They actually had to process his voice recordings to get the volume up to be usable for the film, as without the oxygen, he could barely breathe
I am just BLOWN AWAY by the sheer size of this thing! Like, I didn't think Hasbro would give us a Unicron toy THIS BIG?! Also, the "Unicron Transforms" Theme was playing in my head while you were transforming him!
@@デストロイア No, I mean exactly what I said. In other words the music playing when Unicron first transforms in the 1986 movie after he says: "You underestimate me Galvatron."
I swear that murder ball is bigger then a freaking basket ball and that is terrifying on multiple levels. I would never have the money, nor SPACE for this thing, but I will admit. It’s indeed FUGE and kinda amazing that it is.
Fantastic explanation of engineering versus scale with regard to price. I guess I'm more for the clean silhouette and engineering of Cell. But I can't deny the sheer shelf or even display cabinet or even entire living room presence the Haslabs Unicron has. Both are great versions of the character.
Holy freakin' crabcakes ... I'm astonished that you actually got this one. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but for the crowdfunding model and the asking price? That is some serious dedication, and I have to salute you for it. And it does, indeed, look like a figure that's worth a little under $600 - mostly for size, like you said, but the engineering is impressive too, even if less so than Studio Cell. Some parts of the transformation had me gritting my teeth, and I would have to move *out* of my apartment to make room for that guy, but all in all? I'm too impressed to dispute the worthiness of the investment.
An interesting observation - I've had this guy for weeks now. I love him SO much ... and I paid the late tax ($1200). In spite of the fact that I'm head over heels in love with this guy, I found myself still looking forward to hearing what you had to say about him. Great work as always! I was going to put him in robot mode, as I had ZERO interest in him in planet mode, but once I put him on my shelf, well ... I haven't even touched it. It looks so amazing in planet mode, so I guess I'll keep him like this until a third party prints things to be able to display him in both robot and planet mode at the same time! You mentioned a feature of studio cell being the engineering ... I've heard enough nightmare stories of how to transform that guy ... the simplistic transformation of haslab's offering is perfect for me, and I'm *thankful* for its "shellformeryness". Not to mention the fact that you can take it all off and make a planet out of it while the robot is standing. Haslab really knocked it out of the park with this one! Thanks for the review!
I just re watched 86 movie and noticed that Unicron's robot mode is actually asymmetrical unlike studio cells Unicron. As in the greyish panels on his body has different types and sizes of blue patterns/hole's.
@@zuttoaragi8349 I had to recheck myself and found out that Unicron's back is actually not symmetrical to his front. Look at Unicron's back at the 15-second mark: th-cam.com/video/6M8xWM-JAV0/w-d-xo.html If you look closely, the abdominal region of his back is actually recessed, which reveals some thrusters/verniers under what would be the pectoral region of his back.
@@Malysitos Well I'll be damned. I never noticed that, and even the images on Google didn't show that off well. I even went back and for sure, now that I know they're there, the thrusters pop out.
@@eyelanderfreelander3375 Again, to re-emphasize what Emgo said at the very end, it was likely a financial compromise to prevent it from costing over $600. People buying this particular toy are paying for its size. People buying Cell, on the other hand, are paying for its intricate engineering and model accuracy.
EmGo, I was waiting for your review on this SPECIFICALLY because I knew you would have sensible thoughts on the things that other folks have been, frankly, whining about. And you did! Thanks for being one of the most grown-up, sensible members of our fandom.
@@emgo316 Agree. It wasn't official unless you put out a review. For a moment I even asked myself "what if he didn't back it?.... nah, I'm sure he got it. He understands that it's a Hasbro product and has realistic expectations" haha. Great review, thanks!
@@harrycarlin265 *This is my command. You are to destroy the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. It is the one thing, the Only Thing, that can stand in my way.*
You’d need your own house and a shelf of your own to realistically own this figure, in part because it’s so massive and in-part because those arm ratchets would wake up your whole household if you moved the arm up lmao
I just started (binge) watching your videos a couple days ago and one small detail that really stands out to me... You have a really good eye for posing the figures at the end of the videos.
Eh, they all knew what they were buying. All that kibble is what kept me from backing it though. I'm glad it turned out to be fairly stable and sturdy for those that bought in.
@ 38:00 , you raised some valid points Emgo and it was very eye-opening. It as a learning experience for me personally since now I'm more than happy to have bought SIEGE Jetfire for 80 bucks, given the work put into the figure. And as much as it would be nice to have this big boi given what you said, I unfortunately don't have the room. But really, thank you for this lesson.
The best explanation I´ve ever heard in regard to the price point of both figures, specially HasLab and I personally totally agree with you. As expected your review does not dissapoint. Well worth the wait. Kudos.
The amount of kibble on this beast is ridiculous and I literally flinch every time I hear those ratchet joints on the arms click while you're moving them, but holy hell, this is glorious
@@zillaisking15kiryuthe3rd9 This is my command: you are to destroy... the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. It is the one thing - the ONLY thing - that can stand in my way.
Personally I'd take haslab Unicron over studio cell in a heartbeat. That is one awesome piece! I about lost it when he got the traditional "spin"😆 That's one helluva fuge amount of faith put into the new turn table! Great review Emgo! Thanks for sharing
I can see the hype one would have for something this grand of something you yourself helped fund, and of a character who has never had a proper figure, watching Thew be in total awe of something this massive was fantastic. I just think that there's a better solution than curling the robot into a ball and unfold multiple layers of panels. I feel like all the budget was focused on sheer size, which I do respect (It does size really well)
Another noice review, but seriously tho, didn't expect this, at least this fast Also nice to see you talk about cell and unicron comparison, people really have to understand about that Thanks for another amazing review
Wow, this thing is just insane! This size of this thing is just crazy and I think overall it looks pretty cool and menacing. Emgo, props to you for Transformimg it for a review and a JTI review, I bet you're wore out after transforming it. Great review!!👏
Yeah I know there have been people complaining about this figure but as someone who couldn't afford it, I would literally give away like half my collection to have this thing. Like emgo said your paying for size. Haslab Unicron is a TOY plain and simple a big beefy TOY. Honestly hasbro could have painted this thing neon pink and green and I still would have tried to get one.
In the end, it all comes down to opinion. Me, I find Haslab Unicron to be an overall better figure to _play_ with. Cell has superb engineering in tucking the planet mode into the robot mode, but to get him from one mode to the other.... For me, it's not fun. At all. Look, I perfectly understand some of the gripes (like the price, the kibble, or the unpainted bottom teeth [that looks ridiculous]). But for me, Rule #1 of a Transformer toy is that it has to be fun to mess with, especially in _transforming_ them (why else it's called a Transformer?), not a living hell. Indeed, Rule #1 of any toy for me would be that it's fun to play with. To me, it's not truly a toy if you don't want to play and mess with it. Cell disappointed me in that regard, while Hasbro did reasonably well at balancing things out. Cell's robot form looks far better, but planet mode-wise and as a whole package, Hasbro wins in my book. At the end of the day, I completely understand both sides of the opinion, but I overall find Haslab Unicron to be the superior one in terms of the full experience, much like Emgo.
@@emgo316 and that´s why i have been subscribed to your channel for 9 years. Objectivity is a rare quality in toy cummunities . As a reviewer You comme the closest to it : D !
"I just felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of wallets suddenly cried out in terror, then were suddenly silenced..." Wrong franchise i know, but hey, it fits. 31:36 Has anyone else spotted the Toe-Faces on Unicron? Siriously, they guy has a face on each toe. Jesus...where would one even STORE something as big as this?
Same. At the time I couldn't afford it but now, I wish I had a second chance. The backing price is a steal for what scalpers want. There's one on Ebay for 10k!
Man to see this compared to the Armada Unicron which I finally got puts it to shame, not that I could even afford this one. Glad I at least got to see a review of it. Keep up the great work.
The detail on that thing is insane. The molding, looks and size make the 575$ sound pretty cheap and atleast well worth the price. Especially compared to some not-even-vintage stuff I collect
Love the review! And personally speaking, I think both are fantastic figures in their own way... That being said, Haslab Unicron was never going to be a purchase for me solely based on the selling point: his size. I have nothing that could hold him or display him properly like it deserves. Which is a damn shame since it is a magnificent piece.
The only thing I wish was included but wasn't was something to recreate his eye blasts from the movie. Some dedicated blast effect parts, and either an alternate face with bloosh-compatible eyes, or even some bloosh-points on the moving eyes themselves with a face made to accommodate them. But honestly, this looks like a great package all around.
I backed this monster, I had to. Not just for the planet eater himself but for the engineering and molding that now exists and will eventually become Cybertron and Primus. The other side of that double edged sword is Hasbro is now fully aware that there are enough adult collectors to justify it. Unicron just payed for Primus, as will we and in doing so helped to pave the way to the future of Transformers.
While I'm personally not a fan of the backpack, I gotta say, the sheer size of him is pretty much worth it. Unicron truly looks intimidating when displayed with other figures and doesn't have any issue getting attention.
If we could get a unicron that looks as good as the haslab, is as big as the haslab, but had a better version of cell's transformation, it would be perfect.
For a time, I considered sparing your wretched little wallet, Emgo. Now, you shall witness, it's DISMEMBERMENT!
Lol
It was so absurdly overpriced it’s close to offensive
Nooooooo.
Priceless
Shiiiiiid. His "investment" is a tax write off.
For anyone who wanted a very Clean and accurate version of Unicron, Studio Cell has that, but if you do want a Huge Unicron for the collection and a bit of a more simple transformation for being a Unicron, HasLab may be the choice
But nonetheless, the 2 Unicrons are both good in their own right
exactly :)
I'm beyond happy with Studio Cell, I really prefer the cleaner cartoon aesthetic he has and the lack of backpack. I can live with him not being as big.
I want a Unicron the size of the official and the appearance of the 3p one :P
im happy that i backed this i didnt like how overly complex cell was i would rather not go through the stages of grief just to mess with a figure

But for me, Rule #1 of a Transformer toy is that it has to be fun to mess with, especially in _transforming_ them (why else it's called a Transformer?), not a living hell. Indeed, Rule #1 of any toy for me would be that it's fun to play with. To me, it's not truly a toy if you don't want to play and mess with it. Cell disappointed me in that regard, while Hasbro did reasonably well at balancing things out. Cell's robot form looks far better, but planet mode-wise and as a whole package, Hasbro wins in my book.
At the end of the day, I completely understand both sides of the opinion, but I overall find Haslab Unicron to be the superior one in terms of the full experience, much like Emgo.
well said, sir. well said and I agree. we all like what we like and that's okay. nobody is wrong :)

Objectivity is a rare quality in toy cummunities . As a reviewer You comme the closest to it : D !

Am I the only one who is just as excited for the skits and the review?
"I just felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of wallets suddenly cried out in terror, then were suddenly silenced..."
Wrong franchise i know, but hey, it fits.
31:36 Has anyone else spotted the Toe-Faces on Unicron? Siriously, they guy has a face on each toe.
Jesus...where would one even STORE something as big as this?
I wished I was on board when this came out. Wow that's massive. Love it.
Same. At the time I couldn't afford it but now, I wish I had a second chance. The backing price is a steal for what scalpers want. There's one on Ebay for 10k!
FORGET BIG BOY, HE MIGHT BE THE BIGGEST BOY
Man to see this compared to the Armada Unicron which I finally got puts it to shame, not that I could even afford this one. Glad I at least got to see a review of it. Keep up the great work.
Imagine how expensive it would be to make a Unicron as big as Haslab’s, but with as much articulation as 01 Studio’s?
A couple thousand I'd say. That level of detail on that big a figure plus it being mass produced?
I never knew these actually came out until now. Man this figure is awesome!
This figure. I will have this figure. Somehow.
Me too, somehow
Same some how
I love how Hot Rod just gets dropped every time
I thought Emgo wasn't going to get one, but here we are...
I posted two community posts about this...
He really did.
Yea
Metroplex has been dethroned as the largest Transformers toy.
1 Word to describe this: C H A O S
Money
Easily the most terrifying inner face behind the interchangeable plates I have seen.
The detail on that thing is insane. The molding, looks and size make the 575$ sound pretty cheap and atleast well worth the price. Especially compared to some not-even-vintage stuff I collect
Yeah, I agree that the detail on this figure in general is very much solid.
That is the most satisfying arm ratchet ever sounds like a A10
Armada Unicron: Death Star 1
01 Studio Cell Unicron: Death Star 2
Haslab Unicron: Starkiller Base
BEHOLD! the BIGGEST And most impressive Shell former you have ever seen XD
Love the review! And personally speaking, I think both are fantastic figures in their own way...
That being said, Haslab Unicron was never going to be a purchase for me solely based on the selling point: his size. I have nothing that could hold him or display him properly like it deserves. Which is a damn shame since it is a magnificent piece.
I love your endings - they are hilarious!
A video of epic proportions!
You know what else is strong? Whatever SHELF he puts that thing on!
Me : watching Emgo's review HasLab Unicron.
My 1st & 2nd daughter at the back, "HEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYY"!
The only thing I wish was included but wasn't was something to recreate his eye blasts from the movie. Some dedicated blast effect parts, and either an alternate face with bloosh-compatible eyes, or even some bloosh-points on the moving eyes themselves with a face made to accommodate them.
But honestly, this looks like a great package all around.
I have to keep reminding myself that I don't have the room for this. It's the only thing stopping me from getting it.
and not the crazy price on ebay?
@@Nytrusdeathcyde Man them prices!!! $1800+, even seen one for $10,000! No joke!
I backed this monster, I had to. Not just for the planet eater himself but for the engineering and molding that now exists and will eventually become Cybertron and Primus. The other side of that double edged sword is Hasbro is now fully aware that there are enough adult collectors to justify it. Unicron just payed for Primus, as will we and in doing so helped to pave the way to the future of Transformers.
Lord of Chaos in the building...
"For a time... I considered sparing your wretched bank account. But now you shall witness... ITS WITHDRAWAL!"
While I'm personally not a fan of the backpack, I gotta say, the sheer size of him is pretty much worth it. Unicron truly looks intimidating when displayed with other figures and doesn't have any issue getting attention.
Nice echo on the voice on the skit my man 👍🏽 much love from the UK. Good work as always
If we could get a unicron that looks as good as the haslab, is as big as the haslab, but had a better version of cell's transformation, it would be perfect.
I can feel the Orson Welles emanating from the figure.
Am I the only one who noticed that, besides the massive shell, he transforms exactly how he does in the 1986 movie?
Yep and I don't mind the shell
not really tbh. the arms are the only similar part.
This video saved my life. You are a savior. I hope Hasbro/Takara makes all the unmade characters you want, and sends them to you free. Thank you.
Ok legit question ,did emgo take any breaks when transforming this monster or did he just go all in?
if you count breaks to readjust the camera, yeah.
@@emgo316 glad to hear it ,love the review btw
I'm not impressed with the robot mode, but that planet is BEAUTIFUL! Kudos to those who bought in, enjoy your Chaos Bringer
