    This is a project I've had in mind for a long time..
    I wanted this Unicron to look as movie accurate as possible, but making it an interesting custom to look at, at the same time, o I added tons of details, and basically painted every sculpted part there is. The orange was custom made too! I really wanted him to have that faded look he has in the movie!

    To go a step further with accuracy, I removed the "teeth" from the robot mode chest (thanks to FR for that idea!), I added the signature collar, the planet mode claws from the robot mode shoulders were removed and attached to the planet mode panels, and I also added a custom made mouth for this mode! (thanks to payton34 for these ideas!), finally, I removed the planet mode kibble from his legs, now they can be just attached back there for the alt mode.

    wow, great work FDNA. If not for being a half planet, I would swear he stepped right out of the TV.

    Amazing work, loving the chest mod. Some of your poses look like still shots from the movie. Great job!

    I love what you have done! I might even go the same way and get a cheap Unicron instead of that expensive Takara one.

    That looks fantastic! Love it. You just need the Unicron Medley to be playing in the background when you open this thread!

    if there was an award to be given this would receive it.

    the subtle changes like removign the calf kibble and the horns next to the head in place of the collar. tthe altmode changes are brilliant and the colors are just stunning and its an absolute masterpiece of toon accuracy

    Very cool paintjob. The flat colors make it look very cartoon-like.
