Haslab when making their Unicron figure: “For a time, I considered sparing the wretched little wallets of Transformers fans… but now, you shall witness their dismemberment!”
It’s funny how people make excuses for HasLab Unicron for why the figure is not that great. You’re getting that figure for the size. They say it’s for the size but it’s clearly not a well designed figure. Lol
I nearly bought the Haslab version, but decided to buy Studio Cell’s version instead - the aesthetics of the Studio Cell version are far superior. I finally have him on display after being in a box for over a year. I highly recommend it.
That's the great part of this hobby, we can buy what we want and love it for what it is. Thanks for being a sub and taking part in convo's on here! never hesitate to reach out!
You're going to love it!!! Just keep in mind the transformation is a bit of work, be careful when applying pressure as you can damage the city structures detailed into his forearms and other areas.
Great comparison. Really, the only thing HasLab has going for it is its size. Me personally, I own Studio Cell for my bot display. Want to get another Studio Cell for planet mode display with the enlarged ring upgrade kit.
I have the enlarged ring upgrade kit, it is excellent. When I first opened the box I thought it was overpriced, when I put it on planet mode I changed my mind. It has a huge impact on planet mode, compared to the smaller rings. I recommend it highly.
official product will always have its niche, especially for long-term collectors. Even if Studio Cell matches its side, the Haslab Unicron figure will always in demand for Transformers fans because it's part of the toyline's history. I own both too.. actually, I own 2 haslab Unicron so I can keep them in separate mode in-display...and I absolutely love both figures.
Haslab unicron is only good as a home decor conversation starter. Even then, the conversation will soon devolved into "So this is the life you chose." once the other person found out about the price.
I was watching transformers the movie and I have to say the studio cell is damn near identical to the 1 in the movie I prefer him more but for the size of haslab if I decided to purchase it that would be the only reason great Review waiting on my studio cell now
I went with Cell Studio and while I wish he had the Haslab size, after watching all the reviews I know I made the correct decision for my collection. I wanted him to look like he stepped off the ‘86 movie into my living room, and Cell did a fantastic job. I look at it like this, the Haslab Unicron is for the Generations crowd where Cell Studios Unicron is for the Studio Series ‘86 crowd, both are great for different reasons.
Great video. I find it funny how exhausted you sound as you are articulating them. 🤣 Also, is anyone really going to ever Van Damme everyday a massive Unicron figure?!
I think Haslab planet mode looks better, and not just because it's bigger. The better proportioned ring, the better looking maw. And yes it's because it's all kibble, but it's rounder.
01-Studio was my choice because I wanted to display it in both mode. Does anyone know how to follow or contact them ? I know a few owners of this bot that are willing to spend about $600-750AUD (I’m from Australia) for the same mold , just 50% larger. I’m sure there are similar feeling worldwide after Hasbro’s effort.
Great now I have to re-watch this lol. I’m a construction inspector so odds are the language rubbed off on me lol, on top of that those damned ratchets are beyond loud!! Unfortunately I don't have a clip on mic so my audio was all over the place. Thanks for watching though
@@diegoviramontes2479 it's amazing as all the hard work was done for them....especially with it being their IP, they could have taken any of those engineering designs they wanted...
Great video, but it didn't help me in the slightest, lol. I ultimately wimped out and didn't get either. I didn't want to double dip but just couldn't make my mind up as to which one to get. It's THE most difficult and drawn out decision I've ever tried to make in collecting.
I agree!! it is a tough decision. I lucked out and won both of them. i ultimately would have bought the 01-studio cell though. it fits in a detolf, looks the part and is seriously clean of any kibble. thanks for watching!! have a great day
Yes it does, I’ll be filming a planet mode comparison as well. Most of the bits for his planet are inside of his calves. As well the forearms split and become part of his planet mode too. His giant mandibles are inside his chest. They really did an excellent job on his engineering
I’m sorry brother... I totally get it. I’m on a buying break for a month or two as we’ve had some construction on our house that took priority. I know there’s a game for cell going on in the transformers game group now... but I hope things financially get better for you
@@billythekidstoyreviewchannel it would be could to at least have one lended to me for a review. I promise I would give it back, hell I'd just fiddle with it to get some notes pose it and transform it for notes review it, and then send it back after I finished Filming
ShowZ Store has the updated version of Cell (named Pumpkin) for preorder now. Price is TBA, but you can put $5 down as a preorder and save up for whenever it’s released. They give you 14 days to finish payment when they email you that it’s in stock.
Haslab simply has size goiny for it. Though the central core planet mode mimus the rings is more accurate to the film. Studio Cell completely knocks it out of the parm. Zero back pack. Its a toy engineering masterpiece. Good gawd. Just look at it.... its a pure Masterpiece.
Studio Cell is 100% a masterpiece IMHO, I keep the haslab in planet mode as a showpiece in my collection, Studio 01 is my bot display Unicron. Thanks for watching!
Why, Only a few hundred dollars in price difference... I will chose the haslab... If I'm goin to pay close to the amount of the larger figure.. 180 -199 should had been the price..
I got mine for around that price preordered when it was first announced. Personally I would rather have a cleaner look than size. But honestly both are a good option for an excellent display piece. Thanks for watching and great name!Destrons forever
@@billythekidstoyreviewchannel I would also get the smaller only if the price wasn't that close to the actual one. Definitely would keep it in planet mode and try to add lighting to the wings...hel, I would buy the planet mode if on the market..But the huge Unicron, Nah too much time to transform it and I'm not that impressed.. Yet you do have a point with the smaller one now that I think about it... But not for that price..
Yea it’s pretty rough in planet mode. They TRIED to dr it up with some add-ons but it def falls short especially compared to haslab’s planet mode. Thanks for watching
So glad I went with the Studio Cell Unicron. I love the Planet mode with HasLab but can’t justify the price for a planet.
Oh absolutely! I’m glad I won it as opposed to paying $600+
01-Studio Cell superior, Haslab Unicron inferior.
Haslab when making their Unicron figure:
“For a time, I considered sparing the wretched little wallets of Transformers fans… but now, you shall witness their dismemberment!”
LMFAO!!! Yea he is the destroyer of bank accounts!! I got lucky and won him for $20 in the transformers game group. Thank you for watching
No matter which one you bought you should be happy. That said, size aside, the Studio Cell one is objectively superior.
For a time....I considered sparing your miserable little bank account
Now you shall witness.....IT'S WITHDRAWAL!
NNNnnnoooo!!!

Yea no way anyone can top cells robot mode! Glad you like him!! Thanks for watching and be well!!
I'm overjoyed with the one that I bought. When I opened it up I said to myself, "That IS Unicron.", so it's perfect for me.
That's the great part of this hobby, we can buy what we want and love it for what it is. Thanks for being a sub and taking part in convo's on here! never hesitate to reach out!
Totally agree with you. Just ordered the Studio Cell Unicron. Can't wait for him to arrive
You're going to love it!!! Just keep in mind the transformation is a bit of work, be careful when applying pressure as you can damage the city structures detailed into his forearms and other areas.
Regardless of which one you buy, Unicron is the chaos bringer to your wallet

@@UnChannelDuVulpineX So you enlarged your ring?
@@gmon78 B-Dum tshh!
@@UnChannelDuVulpineX 😁
Luckily I own both, if the Zeta version was in scale with the Haslab version at the same pricepoint, would anyone really purchase Haslab's version ?

This would be the only time I’d buy unofficial, if Cell was as tall as the HasLab monstrosity
Haslab unicron is only good as a home decor conversation starter. Even then, the conversation will soon devolved into "So this is the life you chose." once the other person found out about the price.
Absolutely couldn't agree more. Fortunately I won mine in a raffle for $20...
The haslab size is impressive, but I prefer the studio cell for its superior engineering.
couldn't agree more

Yea man !! Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Glad the wife let you have the Toys ! for inspiring the next generation I see!
Great video. I find it funny how exhausted you sound as you are articulating them. 🤣
Also, is anyone really going to ever Van Damme everyday a massive Unicron figure?!
Thank you! and yea it's just so damned big to maneuver around... and as for the split thing? nah I never keep anything in the pose lol
Studio cell is a work of art 🎨 jst ordered version 2 pumpkin 🎃😍..
Awesome!!! I heard they made some fixes to the mold for pumpkin, such as plastic tolerances and parts locking together
@@billythekidstoyreviewchannel yehh looks 👌stronger mold..
Haslab Unicron is a center piece, while Studio Cell Unicron is just another piece. Period.
I keep mine in planet mode as a center piece, nothings more imposing
aesthetically and design wise, it's NOT even close...... it's just big.......... it ain't better
I think Haslab planet mode looks better, and not just because it's bigger. The better proportioned ring, the better looking maw. And yes it's because it's all kibble, but it's rounder.
Absolutely on point
Haslab Unicron ratchets could wake up the dead. Bang bang bang!
Oh absolutely! It’s a chore to pose him
01-Studio was my choice because I wanted to display it in both mode.

@@Rangatology I wish I had a contact!!
I’m sure we all would drop the coin for a larger release
Cell just works better as a toy. Haslabs as a shelf monster
I just keep catching myself laughing just if I closed my eyes and listened it sounds nothing like a toy review it sounds like a construction site.
Great now I have to re-watch this lol. I’m a construction inspector so odds are the language rubbed off on me lol, on top of that those damned ratchets are beyond loud!! Unfortunately I don't have a clip on mic so my audio was all over the place. Thanks for watching though
How did Hasbro fuck up that design so badly? The amount of kibble is unforgivable for the asking price 🤦🏻♂️
Totally agree!!! not sure what happened there...
All they needed to do was upscale cell’s design but they took the worst route possible
@@diegoviramontes2479 it's amazing as all the hard work was done for them....especially with it being their IP, they could have taken any of those engineering designs they wanted...

Nice comparison. Looks like daddy goes around with his boy... 👌😂
lmfao! Funny thing is the big one is my sons, and the smaller ones mine
@@billythekidstoyreviewchannel cool fact, stay save and healthy! Greetings BB 😉
If only we could get the accuracy, size, and price of studio cell with the planet mode, and detail with haslab. It would be best of both worlds.
Omg I did not mean to make that last sentence a pun😭
lol it's all good!
Totally agree, I'm sure we'll get another Unicron from someone down the line.
I like the little guy. The huge little guy.
Same! Thanks for watching
Studio Cell looks really good. too bad it's out of my price range. :( It's still cool seeing other people review these massive Unicrons though.
Yea in my opinion it’s the better of the two, they still go up for raffle in the transformers game group, usually $20 or less a spot
Does the little actually turn into a ball? Where's all his curved bits that make up the globe?
Yes it does, I’ll be filming a planet mode comparison as well. Most of the bits for his planet are inside of his calves. As well the forearms split and become part of his planet mode too. His giant mandibles are inside his chest. They really did an excellent job on his engineering
My god I wish I could afford Cell, It's not even a feasible birthday present. I even had the money for it and I still couldn't get it
I’m sorry brother... I totally get it. I’m on a buying break for a month or two as we’ve had some construction on our house that took priority. I know there’s a game for cell going on in the transformers game group now... but I hope things financially get better for you
@@billythekidstoyreviewchannel Well I got a job so when I have the cash I'll get one. Maybe.... I hope

3rd party should consider release oversize cell similar with haslab one. Seems too small next to haslab…
While I would love for that to happen, I shudder at thinking what the cost would be lol

I will take the bigger one any day more detail
I actually ended up keeping the haslab, the size in planet mode words with my display
Even though it's smaller, Studio Cell is more superior imo
By far
Hasbros unicron is bigger but cell looks better
absolutely! Thank you for watching
Any who has opened the box and set it up will tell you, There is no comparison. There's Haslab Unicron, then there's the other one
Problem is that the studio cell has an atrocious planet mode.
Yea it’s pretty rough in planet mode. They TRIED to dr it up with some add-ons but it def falls short especially compared to haslab’s planet mode.
Thanks for watching
