Toys

• Knights of Unicron

The glorious Knights of Unicron set features redecoes of the Fall of Cybertron and War for Cybertron Optimus Prime, Jazz, Megatron and Soundwave toys with hair and clothing accessories to resemble a metal band. They also come with redecoes of Animated Laserbeak and Ratbat to use as instruments, because there isn't quite enough insanity in this world.

Merchandise

• Several t-shirts were available as part of the Knights of Unicron promotion... most of which didn't become available until several months after San Diego Comic-Con. The "Till All Are One" tour shirt was available at San Diego Comic Con, then later made available on We Love Fine's website. A few months later, the Optimus Prime "Bot Out of Chaar" and the "Dark Side of the Matrix" shirts were made available through Think Geek's website. The art for the latter two designs was created by Ninjaink. Ninjaink also provided the list of venues on the back of the "Till All Are One" tour shirt, while the front design (the Iron Maiden homage) was by an in-house artist at Hasbro.

Notes

• The Knights of Unicron are a tricky beast to define, continuity-wise. Much of their backstory draws from the Aligned continuity family and its Binder of Revelation, with Orion Pax the clerk, Megatron commanding Vehicons and Bumblebee losing his voice. Meanwhile, there's an obvious eighties influence on the whole thing, with the year 1984 and numerous other Generation 1 references found throughout the supporting material.
