    Glider Unit

    The Glider Unit was designed to fill the role of light troop transport.

    In robot mode, the Unit has articulate hands and twin built in Compression Cannons on the arms. While the Unit is not heavily armored or armed, it sports a very light and angle frame. While this allows for great mobility, it leaves the midsection unprotected and creates a large weak point. The altmode wing sections mounted on the arms can also be used as melee weapons in robot mode. IMG_20210314_110044941.jpg IMG_20210314_110113561.jpg
    In glider mode, the Unit trades it's previous weapons for a top mounted Twin Cluster Bomb Launcher. The glider mode can support one light to medium weight Unit and can carry them where their needed. By design however, the Units are only really effective in mountainous areas or those while high elevations. They can also fill a defensive bomber role in this fashion, but their low armor and speed necessitates escorts. IMG_20210314_105758349.jpg IMG_20210314_105817981.jpg

    Concealment Unit Generation 2

    The G2 Concealment Unit was designed as an update and redesign of the original bodytype.

    In robot mode, the Unit features a light clamp hand and wields it's Rotor Club mounted on the arm. This weapon is a simple blunt tool but it nevertheless works in most situations. On the hips are it's characteristic Smoke Launchers, which can be used in robot mode but are much less effective. It's stats are not particularly impressive but it stands as a adequate soldier. IMG_20210325_153038429.jpg IMG_20210325_153105806.jpg
    In helicopter mode, the Unit can use it's launchers more effectively. These can be used in both defensive and offensive situations, giving cover for allied or disorienting enemies. Their large capacity compared to other launchers allows the Unit to stay in fights longer. It's speed and maneuverability are impressive in vehicle mode, but it lacks offensive power. As with most helicopter altmodes, the rotors are a large weak spot. IMG_20210325_152632663.jpg IMG_20210325_152650168.jpg

    Heavy Sniper Unit

    The Heavy Sniper Unit was designed to deal precise damage to larger targets.

    In robot mode, the Unit features it's articulate claw hand and it's large Surge Rifle arm. While this weapon is better suited for altmode, in robot mode it functions as a chargeable burst weapon for medium to long range. The Unit itself has twin Homing Rocket Launchers on it's shoulders but lacks proper armor or impressive speed. Due to its function however, this is not much of a disadvantage. The Heavy Sniper Unit has improved optics compared to other Units. IMG_20210325_153701055.jpg IMG_20210325_153747595.jpg
    In heavy sniper rifle mode, the Unit is not capable of mass shifting and stands as a massive weapon. Accurate and deadly, the Unit is capable of taking out combiners and large Units with ease. While much more difficult, Heavy Sniper Units can even drive back unaware titans. The altmode boasts autocorrecting sights, allowing for the best weakpoints on enemies. Despite all these feats, the Unit lacks any defense in altmode and is vulnerable to stealth attacks. IMG_20210325_153404911.jpg IMG_20210325_153311932.jpg

    Copy Unit

    The Copy Unit was designed as a multifunctional warrior.

    In robot mode, the Unit features a clamp joint hand and a crushing claw. In the former, a Boomstick Blade can be wielded. This weapon can create small explosions on contact. The Unit is powerful in all specs and is known for its copy ability. The Unit can scan enemy or allied body types and gain their traits, abilities, armor and sometimes even weapons. This allows the Unit to adjust to situations on the fly. The downside of this amazing ability is the copying of personality and increased aggression when taking the forms of others. This tends to make the Unit hard to work with. IMG_20210412_170853337~2.jpg IMG_20210412_170921995.jpg IMG_20210412_171156238.jpg IMG_20210412_171504014.jpg
    In jet mode, the Unit's weapon converts into a Twin Missile Launcher. The jet mode is not particularly unique and is mostly used as transport due to a lack of weaponry. Henceforth, it's higher armor and speed is it's only defense. It should be noted that converting to vehicle mode removes any current copy traits from the robot mode.

    Lumber Unit

    The Lumber Unit was designed to operate in tree felling and delimbing.

    In robot mode, the Unit features clamp joint hands and can wield it's unique Timber Rail Gun. This rail gun is a simple but effective weapon for self defense. The Unit is not particularly strong in many specs, but it's small stature makes it more agile than other Units. While not combat specialized, the Unit can work effectively in defensive situations such as base building. IMG_20210412_172019729.jpg IMG_20210412_172047995.jpg
    In delimber mode, the Unit converts it's weapon to it's delimber tool. While the Unit can remove trees, it's better suited for cutting and cleaning for other Units to deal with the logs. The vehicle is fairly slow but better armored than other vehicle modes of it's size. Due to its extreme specialization, the Unit can only properly function on organic planets.

    Swamp Unit Generation 2

    The G2 Swamp Unit was designed as an update to the original Swamp Unit.

    In robot mode, the Unit features posable finger and wields arm mounted Thermal Blades. These weapons in addition to two shoulder mounted Piercing Cannons creates a dangerous individual. The unique lower body design allows the Unit to effectively operate in marshland and swamp environments particularly due to an additional light camouflage device. The Unit is overall an effective guerilla attacker, especially in it's proficient operating areas. While it does have low amounts of armor, it more than makes up for it with stealth and power. IMG_20210412_172339565.jpg IMG_20210412_172509169.jpg
    In hovercraft mode, the Unit boasts an improved vehicle capable of better diving and submersion than the original model. Able to use it's ranged weaponry, the Unit can quickly unleash a torrent of fire from seemingly nowhere. Quite fast, the vehicle mode's only real weaknesses are a consistent lack of armor and a loud fan engine while traveling at high speeds. IMG_20210412_172113512.jpg IMG_20210412_172123109.jpg

    Rail Brute Unit

    The Rail Brute Unit was designed to be a railway heavy warrior.

    In robot mode, the Unit features clamp joint hands and wields an arm mounted Twin Driver. Tearing through armor with ease, this weapon helps the Unit rule the railways. Also equiped is an experimental hud faceplate that can be swung up. This allows the Unit to make precise attacks to registered weak points. The Unit is heavily armored and can deliver powerful punches but lacks high speed to back it up. IMG_20210423_172845691.jpg IMG_20210423_172920237.jpg
    In high velocity train mode, the Unit gains the speed it lacks in robot mode. While not particularly good in combat, the altmode is extremely fast for ground Units. While running on tracks is the ideal option, the Unit can run on other surfaces given they're smooth enough for the altmode's unique ground repulsors to function. The Unit can split to accompany more train cars but, not surprisingly, cannot recombine into robot mode unless both components are present. IMG_20210423_172434411.jpg IMG_20210423_172442907.jpg IMG_20210423_172520535.jpg

    Rapid Deploy Unit

    The Rapid Deploy Unit was designed as a mass produced drone.

    In robot mode, the Unit features a grapple style hand that can wield a simple Shock Blade and uses a Shatter Blast Hand. This right hand is used as a last resort weapon, capable of shattering into small fragments that can deal significant damage to a small area. The Unit is overall not particularly special in statistic terms, acting as a body for drones more often due to its lack of armament. However, it's small size allows multiple drones to prepare an ambush with a smaller footprint. IMG_20210423_171608333.jpg IMG_20210423_171642638.jpg
    In turret mode, the Unit has access to four Rapid Pulse Cannons. These weapons are quite powerful for a Unit of it's size, but the altmode lacks any proper defense to back itself up. Many users of the bodytype can quickly assemble and defend an area with little effort. Their battle ready nature allows them to act both on the attack and the defense.

    Medic Unit Generation 2

    The G2 Medic Unit was designed as an update to the original Medic Unit.

    In robot mode, the Unit features Surgical Claws and carries it's shoulder mounted utilities, mainly it's Precision Welder and Compression Injector. The Unit is more heavily armored and built for tougher combat, bridging the gap between the original Medic Unit and the Combat Medic Unit. Like the original bodytype, a back mounted surgical table can be deployed. The Unit lacks weaponry and is not designed for direct combat, but is sustainable in the environment. IMG_20210423_172314123.jpg IMG_20210423_172424073.jpg IMG_20210423_172150180.jpg
    In armored ambulance mode, the Unit has access to it's shoulder mounted tools like the original. The altmode is significant larger and more armored than the previous and sports a new ability. Assuming an intermediate mode, the Unit can support much a larger or heavier Unit, or to deploy a more stable operating table on the fly. The vehicle's speed is notable slower than the original bodytype, but faster than the Combat Medic. IMG_20210423_171653692.jpg IMG_20210423_171705741.jpg IMG_20210423_172000351.jpg IMG_20210423_171949406.jpg

    Rocket Unit

    The Rocket Unit was designed to launch various armed payloads.

    In robot mode, the Unit features clamp joint hands and can arm it's weaponry on its wrists. While punching an enemy with a warhead is undeniably powerful, it dangers the attacker just as much as the enemy. The Unit is not particularly fast or armored, but the Rocket Unit is overall much larger than other Units. The head module is quite good at calculating firing angles, so the bodytype is favored by defensive strategists. IMG_20210508_150324191.jpg IMG_20210508_150418947.jpg
    In rocket platform mode, the Unit can launch various rockets and missiles from it's base. While lacking in speed and armor yet again, the vast variety of rocket weaponry available is useful. The Unit is also capable of launching other rocket propelled payloads such as transport ships. Henceforth, the Space Exploration Unit is often paired with the Rocket Unit. Two Shrapnel Cannons are available for self defense in altmode. IMG_20210508_150051844.jpg IMG_20210508_150115591.jpg

    Bruiser Unit

    The Bruiser Unit was designed as a frontline melee tank.

    In robot mode, the Unit features clamp joint hands and wields two Friction Hammers. These weapons can ignite and set aflame nearly anything they touch. These weapons contain built-in tremor actuators, capable of fracturing the ground and often creating sinkholes. The Unit is immensely powerful and heavily armored, but unsurprisingly lacks in speed and especially mobility. Despite this, it's function as a frontline attacker is performed optimally with the bodytype's design. IMG_20210508_151501824.jpg IMG_20210508_151540836.jpg
    In armored assault vehicle mode, the Unit gains access to two Electro Arc Cannons made from it's hammers. While these are not particularly strong, the can easily disable an enemy, allowing for the perfect position to ram into them with the altmode's armored frame. These are supported by four Rocket Launchers by the wheel sections. The vehicle is slow but mobile and can take extensive cover fire for allies.

    Imp Unit

    The Imp Unit was designed as a close range melee berserker.

    In robot mode, the Unit features Thermal Claws and wields a Rust Cone Cannon, a flamethrower like weapon that accelerates the creation of rust. The Unit is extremely agile and fast, which in cooperation with it's small size and impressive leaping height makes it a potent frenzy warrior. Lacking heavy armor, the bodytype can be deterred with most weaponry, particularly chemical weapons. Users of the bodytype often employ cloaking devices to tear into enemies from seemingly nowhere. IMG_20210508_150723178.jpg IMG_20210508_150845256.jpg
    In three wheeled dragster mode, the Unit can use it's cannon in conjunction with an even faster speed to terrorize enemies. It's stealth in robot mode is lost in altmode, as it's loud engine ensures all know when the Unit arrives. Knowledgeable warriors know to fear the sound of Imp Unit engines, as they tend to act en masse and without mercy. However, the altmode lacks traction and turning control, a complication that can be taken advantage of. IMG_20210508_150430741.jpg IMG_20210508_150448979.jpg

    Transmetal Siege Unit

    The Transmetal Siege Unit was designed as a Beast Wars styled body for the original Siege Unit.

    In robot mode, the Unit features Pile-driver Knuckles and wields no other weapons otherwise. Like the original, the Unit is heavily armored but lacking in speed. The Unit is still able to use forcefield generators in all of its modes, but it suits the vehicle mode best. The robot mode excels as a frontline tank. IMG_20210526_125006384.jpg IMG_20210526_125051386.jpg
    In bull mode, the Unit is able to perform it's original design philosophy. The beast mode is capable of withstanding heavy blows and can barrel over enemies and fortifications with ease. The bull horns act as a tractor field, pulling in enemies close for one on one combat. The beast mode is overall the most balanced of the three modes. IMG_20210526_124805853.jpg IMG_20210526_124848201.jpg
    In half-track mode, the Unit gains access to two Shrapnel Repeaters. These weapons make quick work of weak structures and defenses. The vehicle mode is the fastest of the three overall in both terms of weaponry and transport, but it lacks mobility. The vehicle mode acts as a longer range siege instrument, unlike the beast mode which is built for closer combat. IMG_20210526_124539827.jpg IMG_20210526_124549837.jpg
    (I'm going to try doing some redesigns of older models that did not need in my opinion a complete overhaul. For instance the original Concealment Unit, who was in desperate need of better articulation and a cleaner altmode, was added to the revised design line of Generation 2. I'm not the best at beast modes, so I will try my best with what I can turn out. Feel free to suggest some older designs that are deserving of a Beast Wars update.)

    Shieldwall Unit Generation 2

    The G2 Shieldwall Unit was a designed as an update to the original Shieldwall bodytype.

    In robot mode, the Unit features articulated hands and sports the ability to assume two different robot modes. In the primary skirmish configuration, the Unit wields two underslung Electro Pikes and has access to a high propulsion jetpack. This mode is optimized for strafing combat and transportation. The Unit can also assume bomber configuration, swapping the pikes for twin Thermo UGB Launchers and a slower but more maneuverable hover pack. This configuration boasts higher defense but a significantly reduced speed compared to the previous. Both configurations serve multiple uses and both are fairly balanced bodytypes. IMG_20210518_163408793.jpg IMG_20210518_163604566.jpg IMG_20210518_162950109.jpg IMG_20210518_163131475.jpg
    In emplacement wall mode, the Unit gains access to a single AA Ion Cannon and shows it's true potential. No longer a small drone-like bodytype, the G2 update gives the Unit a full redesigned body, now with a significantly larger altmode. Able to connect to others of the same bodytype, the Unit is able to secure and defend positions much more efficiently. In conjunction with flexible joints, the wall mode is a simple yet effective defense. In all modes, the only downside compared to the original bodytype is a larger consumption of energon, as the Unit is now a proper bulk size.

    The Minecart and Pesticide units are my favorites ^^
    There's a lot of these though, and they all have their own charm. I'll be watching for more of these!

    Tsunami Unit

    The Tsunami Unit was designed as a defensive water-based titan.

    In robot mode, the Unit features Pressure Cannons mounted on its wrists which also act as heavy graspers. These heavy cannons can propel various liquids stored by the Unit itself at a high speed. The Unit is heavily armored and capable of immense damage but it's severely lacking in mobility and speed. Henceforth, the titan sized Unit tends to act on the defensive. Two Rapid Unguided Rocket Launchers are located near the head but the Unit lacks anti air weaponry. Using it's tail, as per it's name suggests, the Unit can easily cause and control large tsunamis when in water. It's crushing jaws, goring horns and large footprint are also particularly dangerous. IMG_20210518_160625085.jpg IMG_20210518_160739669.jpg
    In artillery boat mode, the Unit gains access to a gigantic Rotary Artillery Emplacement. Both fast and devastating, it's only downside is a poor degree of accuracy. Also gained are six sets of Torpedo Launchers located at the front for deterring those who stray too close. The vehicle is slow but efficient, able to carry on missions for extended periods of time without refueling. The altmode is also quite mobile and can use it's anchor to perform swinging turns.
