Unicron... definatly the biggest and meanest Transformer out there! I've had request after request for a custom of him but didn't know where to start. Should I do a repaint or rework the Armada one? Maybe turn Primus into a Unicron since he already had the planet spikes? Then it hit me while browsing the toy isle as I came upon these 'Neo Shifter' kits that rolled up into a ball. A planet-looking ball! They resemble Bionicle figures and I picked out the best Unicronish face I could from the different characters.

I used holiday icecicles for the planet spikes, Omega Red tentacles for the planetary rings, Patlabor/Microman armor where he needed it, and Chaos Lucifer's horns. The horns attach magnetically to the robot head or the planet surface. The chest grinder launches out (made from the wheels of something) and extends from the chest in planet mode so Unicron can eat him some planets. The eyes/forehead light up which I think is the coolest feature ever, giving him a really wicked look. You can even use it in Planet mode to light up the inside core of the planet!! Overall, favorite TF custom I've ever done. Thanks everyone for suggesting him!

There's a lot more pictures on my main page if you click the link under the pics. Don't miss em!






More pics!! ------> "I AM UNICRON!!"

Enjoy, *bows*

That's f$cking awesome!

Perfect Custom!

I wouldn't call it perfect. Its pretty tight, for sure though. My only gripe is the helmet makes his head look entirely too big for the rest of him.

It's the collar behind the head *sighs* I'll leave it unfolded next time and the head looks the right size.

That is just down-right freaky.

Well done.

very very nice

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

HOLY F$CKING CRAP

When i saw the ballshaped robots in stores i noticed they had minirobots entering their chests. (if you mean the same robots) i thought about powermasters,but unicron? i could NEVER have made such an amazing unicron with it.

WOW! very nice work,he does fit in with the movie style rather well

I thought someone would have made a protoform out of one of these neo-shifters first. But this is a really amazing bash. Head doesn't seem to big to me and the flaps give it a bit of a G1-homagey helmet look when folded over.

Now all you need is a movie-style Primus

That's awsome. Are the details on the planet surface molded or did you paint them? Is it possible to see size comparisons with classics and alts?
I've had an idea I wanted to try using 4 drones that become monster truck tires. This could save on the difficulty of scratchbuilt characters and I'd be able to keep them more uniform to each other.

I'm always impressed with your work. Very cool Unicron.

Wow, thats one heck of a Unicron update. I don't know how you come up with these ideas Jin, but they're awesome.

So what did youdo with the mini robot?

Woo, movie unicron!
