The Only Transformation Guide You Need: 01 Studio Cell Unicron

Transforming 01 Studio Cell Unicron is easy when you know how. It still takes a long time because he's huge, there are lots of moving parts, and some of them have a long way to go but it's a cool process. Make your first time easy with this video.

"Super easy, barely an inconvenience"... Amazing.

[@MrSameerMalik1]

Spent about 10 seconds looking at the instructions and then searched for a transformation video guide. Found this one and followed along. It was almost perfect on my first attempt. (a few clips were a little uncooperative, I didn't trim any bits). It's not actually a hard or complex transformation, it just has a certain order that needs to be followed and tabbed as you go. If the limbs are tabbed correctly then the panels are pretty straightforward - and considering how perfect both modes are, I'm happy to do those things. EDIT: forgot to add, THANKS!

[@TransformsIntoAGuitar]

I agree. Most other videos don't do a good job.

This is absolutely amazing !!! i will be using this info to use when i get mine . Totally excited !! thanks for sharing

Just finished transforming this mega masterpiece transformer- thanks to your tremendous video- cheers man- good work!!!! Really well done on that video- NOICE!

[@menthalis312]

Yours is the BEST, PERIOD. I broke one before this video, got me another one and transform it with your guide. THANKS. Greetings form Costa Rica (you got a new subscriber) as if was not obvious.

[@TransformsIntoAGuitar]

It makes me so happy to know another person has benefitted. What part broke?

[@menthalis312]

@@TransformsIntoAGuitar the center part right in the middle. Can’t really transform it now, but at the very least i managed to bound it again and keep the articulation in robot mode.

Still love watching this video. About the 5th time I've watched it

holy shit thats a pain in the ass, hands down the hardest bot i have ever transformed...even with your tutorial lol dayum!!! but worth it...

I hope your day is as amazing as mine was when I got mine.

[@Jayz457]

Thank you

[@TheMrOkamiden]

i DID IT! i FINALLY TRANSFORMED HIM INTO A PERFECT SOLID SPHERE /MINUS THE SIDE LEG panels not clicking into their spots due to not having done the modification that you recommend nor did I get the rings to close fully for the same reason, but I did it. Thanks to your guide I was able to memorize a sequence that got me into a sphere. Thank you.

[@TransformsIntoAGuitar]

How long did it take?

[@TheMrOkamiden]

@@TransformsIntoAGuitar roughly an hour or so. Though I lost an arm spike somewhere and I don't know where it is now. On the floor, or inside the planet. But I ain't hearing any rattling within it.

[@TransformsIntoAGuitar]

@@TheMrOkamiden In my experience little things like that bounce to random places anywhere in the house. I lost a legends scale hand and found it weeks later in another room.

[@TheMrOkamiden]

@@TransformsIntoAGuitar What did you use to file down pegs on the city panel for the outer leg pieces?

[@TransformsIntoAGuitar]

@@TheMrOkamiden A scalpel. So more of a shave than a file.

[@dirkpitt3959]

Tip at 9:30 RE: "pull with all your might." If you pop the head off you can push down no the flat circular plate where the head attaches with your thumbs and pull up with your fingers on the blue box section.

[@TransformsIntoAGuitar]

You don't need to take the head off for that. There are other tricks that I didn't know when I made this.

[@tristmas6458]

Awesome man ! Appreciate your work I learnt a lot from some of your technique's. The only help I could give is that the grey clips you crow bared over and could not do both sides easy. Well I've seen a video where they angled the whole middle panel of the arm ( with the wing section) in a V shape first. Then pulled over both clips. Latched them in and then pressed down the back of the middle panels closest to the forearm panels. If that makes sense. Thanks again bro. Great work 🤙

[@TransformsIntoAGuitar]

I see, yes, that makes sense. As it's such a tight fit and it really isn't necessary for planet integrity I'm not going to bother with that.

[@TransformsIntoAGuitar]

Actually, now that I think about it more, it doesn't seem like an easy way of doing it because the two sections will be curving away from each other. Thanks for telling me, though.

[@tristmas6458]

@@TransformsIntoAGuitar It's so interesting watching all the videos on Studio-cell and some of the variations on the transformation. I still have to wait about 6 weeks for mine. But I find how such a sphere can turn into a practically kibble free and G1 accurate Unicron is just quite awesome. Look forward to your transforming back into Robot mode if your still doing that. Cheers again☺️

[@TransformsIntoAGuitar]

@@tristmas6458 Yeah, it's a real feat of engineering. Haslab: take note! I won't do a planet to bot video as it's a really easy process. I put a few tips at the end of the video just to help with the potentially hard parts.

[@tristmas6458]

@@TransformsIntoAGuitarYes I see the easy process now.Thanks anyway👍. You know Haslab has its strong points ie the planet mode. But I just can't understand how all that kibble hanging off it and it's size will make it fun to monuva around. Some people like just displaying things but I got to have fun with the coolest bit. The transformation. That made Galvatron's mouth open in stunning awe. So for me yes he travels around as a planet most of the time but this Studio-01 hands Haslab a bit of a engineering lesson especially to reveal Unicron in his glory. It will be interesting though to see them be compared to eachother one future day. Cheers Guitar former!

[@vxrdrummer]

Good god I found him hard to transform. Your video made it much eaiser though, but I need some practice as he wasn't all nice and tidy and luscious like yours was at the end. What a great toy, but although I love him, he belongs to my 4 year old son. I am only on transform duties for this one as it too hard for him. But it was nearly too hard for me as well ha ha.

[@TransformsIntoAGuitar]

Yeah, it's nearly too hard for many adults! Make sure it doesn't fall on your son, I doubt he'd take that well! Mine was all tidy because I'd practiced it a bit.

[@galocalderon9078]

Great video!!! Question: the collar came off. It didn’t break, it just popped out, but putting it back in its place seems impossible. Do you know how or can give me a good advice?

[@TransformsIntoAGuitar]

Sorry I took so long, I've been away. The collar has a strong tendancy to do that. Take the head off and pull the chest. Then you'll have space to put the collar back. I glued mine in place.

[@studyguy.7660]

I'm thinking of getting one of these. Should I ?

[@TransformsIntoAGuitar]

Only if you want the most accurate looking Unicron made so far. I have zero regrets and zero regerts about buying this figure. I was one of the first to get this figure and I still have to stop and admire it when I pass by.

[@ArionRDAW]

8:42 I understood that reference.

[@TransformsIntoAGuitar]

LOL, I'm surprised no one else commented on this.

[@Zearth1]

What was the modification you did to make the tabs able to fit?

[@TransformsIntoAGuitar]

On the rings? You can see at 0:54 that the tab has been cut down to almost nothing. It's a superfluous tab.

@@TransformsIntoAGuitar I mean primevsprime literally took the planet mode off and you could have the planet separate of the robot What you go back to the G1 movie you see the super complicated transformation of a fucking planet sized transformer into a seamless robot god of chaos and death.

If people want the HasLab Unicron instead of Studio01 Cell because it is in scale. WRONG!!! MP scale Unicron would be about 12.5m[41ft] tall.

I think people realise this, they just want Unicron to be the biggest in their collection. That rules out buying Fans Toys Fort Max! I'd rather have a Unicron that looks the part. That said, I also backed HasLab.

Why is the entire video an over the shoulder shot I can barely see what he's doing 😐

Because reviewers often complain about how hard it is to do a tricky transformation with a camera between the arms.
