Full Metal Hero have uncovered some in-hand images of the Amazon Exclusive Unicron Transformers toy, Hasbro's latest recolour of Transformers Armada Unicron.

Robert Orci has confirmed three new characters will appear in Transformers Prime.  There are Combiners, Dinobots and Unicron (the last was obvious).

IGN have the original interview.

Just a quick reminder that three of our last four 2010 Unicron's are currently for sale on eBay with the auctions ending in 5 hours.  You can find the auctions here, here and here starting at £­11­0.   The Unicron's are the Generation 1 coloured Unicron's that sold out when they were first released are are very difficult to find in stock within the UK.

Looking for the ultimate Christmas present, well on eBay you will find two auctions (in the UK) for the awesome Transformers 2010 Toy Hobby Market Exclusive Unicron figures.

The first auction is a Buy it now, for £150.00 (inculding free shipping in the UK).

The second auction is a usual auction, start price for £120, with a Buy It Now of £150.

Part One Ltd have updated e-Hobby Shop with images of both their exclusive Autobot (Cybertron) and Decepticon (Destron) 3 packs.

The Autobot set comprises of a Clear Blue HotRod, Kup and Scrap Head (a remold of Wreck-Gar) whilst the Decepticons are Clear Blue Galvatron, Clear Purple Cyclonus and Clear Blue Scourge (representing when Unicron reformated them).

I have updated the website with an image gallery of the latest additional to our ever-expanding collection, the Toy Hobby Market exclusive, "Welcome to Transformers 2010" Universal Dominator Unicron figure.  The toy is a heavily recoloured Armada Unicron with a new head sculpt based on the 1986 Transformers: The Movie cartoon.  If I were to sum up the toy in one word that world would be AMAZING.  TakaraTomy not only gave the figure a much improved head, but the new colour scheme vastly improved what was already a pretty good toy.  The figure is painted in such a way that it highlights many of the details that were hidden on the previous version of the mold.

The image gallery includes comparison photographs with the Armada version of the toy as well as the Lucky Draw Green Unicron figure that we own.  You will also see side-by-side comparison images of the mini-cons to highlight the differences with Dead-End as well.

If you are interested in owning one of these toys, ­we still have some available for £120 including recorded postage within the UK, so just drop us an email .
