    This space was used to explain that I was moving and had to take a break from accepting commissions. As the post below says though, I'm back now. :)

    To anyone considering Unicron9 for custom work, stop considering and DO it! I've commissioned from...*tallies on fingers* upwards of a dozen other radicon artists and my experiences with him have consistently rivaled or exceed the rest.

    When you've commissioned enough, you know the hassles you can run into...limited communication, freelancing on the part of the customizer, exorbitant prices, few pictures, delay after delay after delay...Unicron9 is the antithesis of all of those. SUPERB prices, constant picture updates and communication, delays in hours or days vs weeks or months (and he tells you why), and he really seeks to understand your wishes and develop a dialogue as the project goes along to make sure your vision is carried out the best it can be.

    The amount of times I've gone back to the well, should be a testament to this:

    Custom HFTD Leader Starscream repaint/add Shapeways hands/articulation
    Lord Chumly figure mashup
    Cybertron Blurr head added to Generations body
    BW Inferno Repaint
    Device Label Ramhorn
    BW Rattrap Action Master
    TM Rattrap Back rotation
    Hegemon repaint
    BW Airazor remodel/repaint
    BW Scorponok head remold and full repaint
    painting numerous shapeways items (guns, BW accessories, etc)
    Transplanting G1 Insecticon parts to FP Insecticons for added likeness
    Henkei Dinobot repaint
    X-Ravage remold/repaint for accuracy
    BW Rampage revamp/battle damage
    Cybertron Primus repaint
    Classics Sideswipe headswap and paint
    Aquaman repaint
    Wonder Woman adjustments
    BW Silverbolt repaint

    And some really cool/unique stuff to come:)

    Almost done with all of my current work now so that means no wait time to get started if anyone wants to commission a new repaint or bigger project from me soon!
    Email at [email protected] for inquiries or to get a project started.

    Hi, first-time poster, but long time lurker. I recently commissioned a duplicate piece that Unicron9 has on his deviantART gallery, that being a touch-up on a Prime FE Starscream, and I'm thoroughly impressed. True, it's a light paint job, but my experience matches up with what supervir2 has said nicely. It's amazing what a little paint can do to enhance an already superb figure. :]

    Thanks again, Unicron9, and to all others, stop sitting on the fence and get him those requests you want done! :D 

    I've attached pics taken of the figure to illustrate what was done (minimal vs. the stock figure); the first pic is from Unicron9, the second is mine. :T

    Great BA custom from Unicron9. Excellent commuciation throughout the process. Never had any doubts that I would receive anything less than a stellar piece of custom work from him. This guy is the real deal, very detailed, and overall a wonderful human being. Thanks again!

    Some long overdue feedback - if you haven't seen them, Unicron9 killed it with his renditions of Revoltech Blackarachnia, the Tripredacus Council, and blow'd up and cubed Waspinator. Thanks for your continued excellence across the board!

    Commissioned 3 custom figures, Tailgate from RID Cliffjumper, Thunderclash from BH 2014 Optimus Prime, and Slipstream from RID Voyager Starscream.

    TJ provided updates and worked with me through the entire process. The figures came out just like I saw them in my head. Will definitely recommend.

    I just got my custom Impactor figure made from the Captain America Crossover mold and it's AMAZING! If you need a custom done, ask this guy. Quick feedback, friendly attitude and great update pictures. You will not be disappointed. I'm not! Unicron9, you are in my top 3 recommended customizers list.

    Original KO (with stickers) on the right, U9's remake on the left. I'm super pleased! Definitely recommend commissioning him, he's great with fast feedback, quick turnaround, and fair prices

    It's criminal I have not left TJ feedback recently. Here are some jobs TJ recently completed for me. TJ is an excellent, attention to detail customizer that does not miss the small details! His work is some of my favorite on TFW and he continually gets better with each custom. If you have something you're considering getting done, I'd ask TJ first!

    Dinoking:

    TJ took the crappiest KO and turned it into a pretty accurate Dinoking

    This Deszaras came to me unpainted on one side and chipped on the other. I sent this to TJ for a quick touch-up and he hit the mark perfectly! You cannot even tell the difference

    Check this man out. Whether you're a Radicon, Customizer, or just Customer, I HIGHLY recommend Unicron-9's Workshop. TJ's work is absolutely top-notch. Always a pleasure to work with. He's always helped me with my insane ideas, no matter how off-the-wall they get; and I've requested some crazy stuff! From Crossover characters to sculpting Original characters, this man's Workshop is raw, hardcore, and sure to fulfill any work you need on your dream project. TJ will cover every aspect of working on a commission with top-level professionalism, and will let you know his constructive opinion on the project. I've included his work in the post, so you can see for yourself. He's quite friendly, amazing at collaborating on customs, quick to respond and provide updates even while work is being done, and is willing to work with customers on commission schedules and payment plans. Don't get left behind with OTHER turd-nuggets that give you excuse after excuse and ignore your contact messages to end up with a craptacular result!
