Today I added one of the biggest Transformers ever made to my collection. The new Amazon-exclusive Unicron 25th anniversary Transformers movie edition arrived in a huge box and despite the fact that Unicron eats planets, I for some reason wasn’t expecting the toy version to be quite this big. The photo below shows the figure, still in the box, next to a G1 Soundwave reissue. Unicron stands around 15-16″ tall, with the box adding another couple inches. It’s HUGE. I haven’t taken it out of the box yet, but I will soon. And I will transform him into a planet, naturally.

Surprisingly, this is not the biggest Transformer toy ever produced. That honor goes to Fortress Maximus. But this one sure is close. The colors match his appearance in the animated Transformers movie fairly well and apparently he makes sounds and his eyes and fist light up as well, once I put some batteries in there. This character was one of Orson Welles’ last roles before he died, so that makes the toy extra special.
