Not sure if this is strickly the right forum but what the heck.

I was looking at Armada Unicron and thought that no matter how ya cut it, he looks wrong. I decided to attack the translucent plastic and all the purple to make him look more like his G1 namesake.
I painted him up and looked at the Movie again and saw that he needed some paint on the helmet too. Also put together a fairly basic mouth plate but I think it does the job. Looks more like I think Unicron should.











I found that using the ink washes has really brought out all the detail on the planet mode shell and all the other parts that have been altered.

In any event, I hope you guys like him.

I've seen a few Inkwashed Unicrons, but this one looks nice. The mouthpiece is a good touch.

Looking sharp!

I like the robot mode, but the appearance of the planet mode is awesome.

Hot damm, thats awesome!

I'm glad you guys like him!

I am very pleased with him to be honest. I particularly like the planet mode. Thinking of painting the minicon ports and the wee nubs yellow, like he had just fed. Not sure.

If you can find cheap UV paint (like UV nail polish or something) and have a blacklight handy, you could have a beautiful looking display going on if you washed the ring parts or even just painted the fine details...

Just Beautiful!

I wouldn't use yellow paint for the glowing. it doesn't look right. it just looks like yellow.

someone needs to recast the wings in clear plastic and then paint over them, leaving small holes here and there for light to come out, and then stick a few LEDs in them.

that new mouth looks nice, but kind of crooked.

it's too bad no one has tired to put those spikey arms of his in the back.

Another option for those Minicon ports is to paint them silver then apply a yellow clearcoat, not opaque yellow.
