Title:
Unicron Missing Spline
Description:
Unicron (Deluxe Class, 2006)
Accessories: Missile, 4 spines (2 long, 2 short), Planet X Cyber Key
Cyber Key Code: dgt3
Part of the eighth wave of Cybertron Deluxe Class toys, Unicron transforms into a futuristic, crab-like/insectoid tank. In robot mode, he sports a battle-damaged appearance, with his head featuring a skull-like design mimicking the Unicron head that comes with Cybertron Primus (see below). In both modes he features a large spring-loaded missile launcher, plus plugging a Cyber Key into his back end opens up a port on his front (which bears a striking similarity to his planet form’s maw) that reveals a (non-firing) triple-barreled cannon. His side-spines in tank mode can be removed to become hand-weapons in robot mode.
This toy was the first and only Unicron toy with the trademark Dracula-style "collar” from the original animation model, up until the toy based directly on said animation model created roughly fifteen years later. He is also the first Unicron toy to be placed with the Decepticon faction for the purposes of marketing.
Due to the use of translucent plastic for his radar dish/head mount, aging samples run the risk of this piece breaking off at the joint due to plastic tolerance issues. Some samples also have difficulty holding the spike weapons properly due to the short pegs and clearance issues with his wrists.
