And those <em>Cybertron<\/em>\u00a0video games are great because they focus on the war-torn alien planet instead of dumb Earth. But the cartoons are pretty bad for anyone who isn\u2019t eight. And the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geek.com\/movies\/moviebob-reviews-transformers-last-knight-1704305\/\"  rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a>\u00a0are extremely bad for anyone who is or has ever been alive.<\/p>\n<p>However, I sincerely love Unicron. He\u2019s Transformer Satan who disguises himself as an evil moon. In the underrated animated movie he was voiced by Orson Welles, the final role from the icon whose Hollywood\u2019s legacy was also as big as a planet. He\u2019s a toy that eats other toys and that rules.<\/p>\n<p>Given Unicron\u2019s stature, we get why consistently making toys of him at anything approaching proper scale has been difficult for Hasbro. They\u2019ve done it, I had a huge Unicron toy back in the day, but it\u2019s a rare event.

It allows enthusiasts to pledge for big pricey \u201cdream products\u201d that might not otherwise have a profitable enough market to exist. For example, right now you can back a massive Star Wars set based on Jabba\u2019s sail barge in <em>Return of The Jedi<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>And this new War For Cybertron Unicron figure is getting the same crowdfunding treatment. The massive Transformer toy towers over regular robots, including previous biggest boy Fortress Maximus. It\u2019s over two feet tall in toothy humanoid mode, with 50 points of articulation including adjustable eyes, and it turns into a spiky mechanical planet with a 30-inch diameter. There\u2019s a posing stand to keep this thing from toppling under its own weight.<\/p>\n<p>However, you can only get this new Unicron toy if at least 8,000 backers pledge by midnight on August 31. If that happens, expect the $575 toy to ship in early 2021. Let Unicron darken your lightest hour.
