Title:
Unicron With Bogu
Description:
Gaia Unicron (2012-09-29)
ID number: AM-19
Accessories: "Bogu” Arms Micron
Part of the seventh wave of Japanese Prime toys, and exclusive to said line, Gaia Unicron is an all-new mold. Its robot is based on Unicron’s rock-avatar bodies from the Prime cartoon, while its alternate mode is... erm... a sort of amorphous mass that is presented by the toy’s instructions as a "vehicle mode,” but which has apparently been designed to look like a mountain with Unicron’s face at its centre, ringed by bolts of lightning—another reference to the Prime cartoon, in which Unicron’s spirit communicated with Megatron by appearing in the fumes of a volcano. He also partsforms into "Gaia Armor” for either Voyager Optimus Prime or Megatron, which more or less leaves most of his mass hanging off the wearer’s butt. The Gaia Armor features a "loincloth” panel which has one of each of the 3 Arms Micron Power crystals, not unlike Hades’ tail. Though his sticker sheet comes with Decepticon symbols for his shoulders, there are also optional Blentron stickers. His soft plastic wings and horns are prone to drying out and cracking with age, primarily near their connection points.
Unicron’s Arms Micron partner, Bogu, transforms from what appears to be a robot mole into a pointy claw to replace one of Unicron’s spiked club arms. (The displaced club arm can snap onto the back of the other club arm.) Gaia Unicron and his micron feature numerous 5 mm posts and peg-holes.
Compared to his stock photography, most (if not all) Gaia Unicrons have mis-assembled knees, with two small gray parts on the inner portions of his knees being swapped, thus restricting his knee articulation. This cannot be fixed without knocking out a few pins. It’s also common to find one with two of the same knee joint, meaning that swapping them won’t fix the issue.
