Thanks to a recent post on Twitter by Transformers artist Don Figueroa, I was reminded that back in 2003 the Toys 'R' Us store in Times Square, New York City had gigantic artwork in its window for the Armada toy line with spectacular Unicron artwork by Figueroa taking center stage! Other characters including Galvatron also appeared. It was a very dramatic presentation for the Transformers brand and quite a sight to see in person.
