Unicron Hungers for Today’s Gold Box Deals

?This was announced this past weekend at Botcon, but Amazon will have an exclusive Unicron figure in authentic Transformers: The Movie colors. I believe this will be the first time a truly G1-looking Unicron toy will be released, which should mean a lot of Transformers fans losing their shit; it’s due in October. For all the Botcon news I missed and am too bored to tell what’s exciting or not, go to 16bit.com, where TR contributor Adam Pawlus has a very comprehensive list. (Via TFormers)
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
