Unicron - The Making Of...

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. :D

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 REALLY need backers to make this happen. Please support this project.

Hasrbo will be giving away Unicron posters at 3:30pm in the Hasbro booth!
