1) added joints to make certain parts of planet kibble fold a bit more out of the way in robot mode.
2) added ball-jointed horns to his head in a way that enables them to devour planets when in planet mode
3) added plastic strips to increase the surface area of the planet as there were too many gaps
4) made his planetary ring which also forms his skeletal wings in robot mode. It all fits together with magnets
5) trimmed his face so his head folds away better
6) added greebles to the planet's surface to make it look more interesting and give an impression of size
7) added armour to the robot using cuttings from ice cream tubs
8) added planet spikes made from toothpicks cut to random lengths
9) added planet devouring mouth to planet
J) painted him
I spent a lot of time researching different artist's versions of him to decide which to base mine on to make him as authentic to the G1 style as possible. I wanted to update his colours as bubblegum orange isn't an appropriate colour for the dark god of chaos but then I abandoned my research almost entirely and did my own thing. Now he has a black skeleton covered with dark metallic grey armour, some metallic orange plates and silver panels on his chest. In planet mode he has lighter areas around his north and south poles like the original. As the original had a six-pack stomach I added plates to his lower legs to evoke a calf muscle.
It took me about fifty hours. There are things that aren't perfect but I've done my best and am very proud!
Kitbashed, Repainted, Customized Transformers Movie Style Unicron
I saw someone else's Movie style Unicron and decided to have a go at my own, however, I didn't like the one that inspired me so mine is quite different. I chose a Neo Shifter (a 9.5 inch tall robot that folds into a sphere) with a face that looks evil and has Unicron's forked beard then tried to make it more 'Unicrony':1) added joints to make certain parts of planet kibble fold a bit more out of the way in robot mode.
