Flint Dille wants the head of Unicron to be removable, but its not going to happen.
Flint also wants a Junkion planet for Unicron to eat.
Takahashi Kunihiro talking about working on Unicron, in Japanese. Showing plans and designs.
With Unicron they could physically sketch it out on a desk, so he did it at 1/3 the size and enlarged it.
One of the challenges of making the sphere if the planet mode was being able to hide the robot parts.
Later he made models out of Styrofoam to decide on the right sphere size.
The front has 12 teeth and they open and close in one phase.
They need backers to make this happen. Please support the project.
Hasrbo will be giving away Unicron posters at 3:30pm in the Hasbro booth.
End of panel.
The video runs at about 43 minutes so pop some pop corn, grab some bots to fiddle with and buckle up for some sweet 'Con action! Now close your eyes, excellent. That's it, deep breath, it's like you're pratically there. Enjoy the view and share your thoughts with the Seibertron crew in the forum. And stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!
