Unicron, the Chaos Bringer V/S Galactus, the Eater of Worlds V/S Anti-Monitor the supreme being of the anti-matter universe.
All in their primes, bloodlusted
R1: character on
R2: character off
Location: an infinite indestructible void…
Bonus: any of them can summon a planet in the middle of a fight and feed on it for extra energy
The unicron trilogy (besides energon) was my first experience with transformers. I notice that in american series like transformers animated and prime they all don't have:
Optimus Prime having a super mode.
Power linking
the seasonal gimmick power up (minicon, energon stars, cyber key).
I'm not saying that any of these are needed for a TF series to be good (Prime is the best series with Cybertron imo) it's just strange to me that only in japan does Optimus have a super mode. I guess that comes from a gundam influence and japan's love of stock footage.
no Goku vs Superman 3
Can't remember an instance. Curious if in any media he can.
Is there any symbolism between the two songs? Is it supposed to tell a story? These two are probably in my top ten favorite songs and I am really curious about the symbolism.

Sold
Complete and only Transformed once. I don't have the original packaging but I'll change him to Planet mode for shipping.
I'll be putting him up on eBay this evening, but I wanted to give y'all first dibs.
Looking for around $1100, but open to negotiation. I do need $800 minimum though cause rent lol
Edit: is now on eBay as well. Just be aware
I understand that the Unicron trilogy portion of the franchise wasn't all that well-regarded among older collectors and fans, but as someone who had a soft spot for the UT designs and liked all of the experimental new ideas the UT attempted with its character designs, the rumor of having Armada Starscream, Armada Blurr and Cybertron Metroplex in Legacy does excite me... at least, on paper.
I still wish that we can get a set of properly-done figures of the entire Armada cast in the future that wasn't half-assed or compromised in some ways because frankly, I think the designs have potentials for a proper make-over. The designs are unique enough to deserve their own properly done, dedicated figures developed from the ground up just to do these characters justice, not just simply retool of old toys or new ones designed with other characters in mind.
This might explain why I hate it when people say things like "Armada Sideways can be an SS86 Wreck-Gar redeco" or "Legacy G2 Optimus can be retooled into Armada Optimus"; as IMO, doing that would do nothing but misses the entire point of what makes those designs stand out and special in the first place. If characters such as G1 Wheelie can get multiple CHUG figures or G1 Skids can get an official MP figure of all people, then why can't someone like Armada Scavenger or Side Swipe just get 1 proper figure that does their design justice?
And even when they need to do the whole "redeco/retool of other figures" thing, the mold that was used at least still needs to make sense and changed significantly enough to represent its intended UT character; There are some people who had suggested that Siege Sideswipe can be redecoed into Armada Wheeljack and it could work, but significant retooling would be more ideal and preferable to sell Armada Wheeljack as a Siege Sideswipe retool (Such as the scarred chest, gull-wing doors and reversed legs).
I really hope that with Kingdom and the BW figures, HasTak can finally get it and realize that the reason why most of the UT (or hell, anything that isn’t non G1 in a G1 centric line) homages they attempted so far failed and sales poorly wasn't because of the lack of market interest or nonsense such as "UT wasn't G1 so it doesn't sell", but rather it's because so far every time they attempted "updated" UT figures it was either a bland repaint/retool of another figure that barely captures what makes the original designs awesome (such as CW Armada Megatron, TR Tidal Wave and Selec
