We all love our world devouring chaos bringer named Unicron. We love his robot-mode with it's horns and wings, we love his appetite and we love the fact that he turns into a cannibalistic planet with horns - he's
totally METAL.
So when the Transformers Armada line finally brought us a transforming Supreme sized
toy action figure we rejoiced, and since Unicron's planet-mode was kind of like a nostalgic (un)holy grail to us, we wanted to display him in that mode, letting him eat those stupid Mini-Cons. It was then we found out that he wasn't really a fully round planet and was impossible to display in said mode.
So along came Unicron.com, a fellow Transformers fan-site, and made a stand available which would let you display him in his planet-mode. The stand was cheap and had a wonderful design, sadly due to a design flaw the stand would often tilt over or in some cases even snap.
So since Armada Supreme Class Unicron was recently re-released with a much more G1 movie accurate colour scheme and head a different fan decided to make his own stand for this version the "Throne of Chaos". The producer of this new stand goes by the name of
Brownnoize productions.
The price is stated to be USD 30 and is made in America out of crystal clear acrylic and is quite frankly a far more stable design than the Unicron.com stand.
We have mirrored some of the images of this incredible new stand, but you can click
here for the original blog-post, however the post uses a lot of cursing and fowl language, so you might not want to check it out at work or school.
There is currently just one way of purchasing this stand, you have to send a pm to the main creator of it over at
toyboxDX, you can visit his profile by clicking
here payment will be done via pay-pal.
Update:
Brownnoize has updated it's blog with a contact form, just click
here to get to it.

BigBadToyStore.com has posted a new pre-order for the upcoming Kup head upgrade set from 3P toymaker
iGear Toys. The set is available for pre-order for 15.99 and includes two heads for deluxe RTS/United Kup-one with "cygar" and one without-and a carrying case. What's new on BBTS is a picture of the case for the heads which apparently is designed to fit into Kup's bed when he's transformed into his alt mode.
To pre-order the set from BBTS.com, click
HERE. The set is expected in May.

Leaving the
Hasbro Panel at BotCon, you may have been thinking in your head, "Wow, there was so much awesome stuff, but I just can't believe Reflector is going to be a remold of Perceptor, I wanted a camera!" Throw third party PerfectEffect into the equation. Just like Brett Favre,
PerfectEffect keeps coming back and back again... except PerfectEffect does something useful with their talents. This 1-year old company is already on their 11th product in the line,
PE-11 SFX(Scouting Force X) Reflector!
SFX Reflector is to come in three pieces like the original Generation One toy, and they are
Edge (Viewfinder),
Shield (Spyglass) and
Bullet (Spectro). We've already seen pictures of Edge, and if you missed out, you can find them
here. On to the new stuff, we've got prototype images of the entire set, as well as an image of the actual camera. Compared to Deluxe
Special Ops Jazz and
Hound, the combined camera is quite big compared to initial assumptions of it being small. There's also images of Shield (Spyglass) armed to the teeth! Still no word on the release date, price, or if Edge, Shield and Bullet will be released separately or together. Check out the images below!
More images over at PerfectEffect's
website.

I-Gear have updated their Facebook page again, they added 5 new images to their "
New WIP small stuff" album. These updates show the robot-mode of their new Bumblebee figure
we reported on earlier, which is a a "re-shell" of
Universe 2.0 Legends Class Bumblebee with VW Käfer car parts.
We have mirrored one image, if you wish to see the rest just click
here.
And as a Comparison, the original Universe 2.0 Legends Class Bumblebee:
