Welcome to the new Unicron.com Alterations Blog! Although some people call them "kitbashes" or "customs,” we prefer “Alterations” because it takes more than just paint or a model kit to produce these works of art! With all the functionality that Blogger has to offer, we now provide a totally interactive database where posts can be viewed, commented upon and organized based on series, artist, character, or your own unique search criteria! (Check out the nav bar for suggestions.) To post comments, sign in with your valid ID from Google, Blogger, AIM, LiveJournal, WordPress, or TypePad.
For you artists out there, showing off your work is now easier than ever. Simply e-mail digital photos to: obsidian@unicron.com. We'll get them uploaded and linked as promptly as we can. Thanks for visiting and for all your contributions!

Rhinox-Trion's BWTF Alterations
DaClique (/Rhinox-Trion) has been busy! Check out his other alterations: Transmutate, Cyber-Raptor, Optimal Optimus, Rampage, Transmetal Tarantulas, Blackarachnia.
BEAST WARS RAVAGE
Perceptor made Ravage starting w/ a TM Cheetor (Hey, that's what Mainframe used!) The arms are from an original Cybershark and I re-molded an original Tigatron beast head to make Ravage's. The chest was sculpted almost entirely from scratch.
Transmetal CHEETOR
Transmetal Cheetor was sooo close to the show, yet just a little off in robot mode. Never fear, he was a perfect candidate for Alteration treatment! You know that gnarly grin they gave him? Yea, we didn't like it either! I also fixed the coloring of the face and chest plate. by: Jason
TRANSMETAL MEGATRON
I resculpted Megatron's face to give it sharp pointy things & re- molded the shark-tooth grin to make it look like it does in the show. The brown plastic was easily turned black with a permanent marker. I highly recommend doing this folks, it's easy and it makes a huge difference. by: Perceptor

How to: Fix or Paint Metallic Parts
Has your Transmetal chipped? Are your G1 vacuum metalized parts warn down past the coating? Are you just not willing to accept that your "silver" (light gray) plastic is as shiny as it it should be? Well, never fear because Transformers Movie Megatron and Jazz feel your pain. We may not be able to electroplate metal onto your toys, but we're pretty sure we've found the next best thing. Alclad makes an incredible line of metallic Lacquers that'll get the job done. Check out their website for more information.
Thanks to frenzy.rumble for the heads up and the sample picture of his work using Aclad on Movie Jazz.
