About this creation
The third of five Dawn Forge builds from the “Zero Hour on Highway 44” collaborative project. I will be posting the fourth one in the next few days. Here are the links to mine and Keith’s Zero Hour postings in case you missed them.
The UNITY represents the second generation of autonomous, AI controlled combat droids fielded by the Dawn Forge. Nicknamed “Unis” by the soldiers who fight alongside them, their original designation was the E-1 “MARTYR.” They were renamed after the droids discovered the meaning of the word and took great offense at the implication.
Tougher, more agile, and packing the new, high velocity 35mm autocannon as well as a vastly superior AI, the Uni is in every way an improvement on the aging ABSOLVER droid it were designed to replace.
Unis are generally deployed in squads of five, with one droid being an E-2 UNITY Command Droid that acts as the squad’s leader. Nicknamed “the deuce,” the E-2 variant has an upgraded AI capable of deductive reasoning and complex problem solving, as well as a superior sensor/communications array.
A squad who has lost it’s deuce in combat is still able to function, but is significantly less efficient, with the most experienced E-1 taking up the leadership position until another E-2 can take charge.
Yes, you are correct. The E-2’s expanded sensor array was not present in the Zero Hour dio. Thanks for noticing…smartass.
Wow, look at all that Sci-fi B.S. I wrote up there! Aren’t you lucky! Actually, several people have been asking lately about the full on Dawn Forge back story. I’ll try and finish it up sooner rather than later, but don’t hold your breath or anything. Remember people, it’s more about the MOCs than the story. Whenever I do finally finish it though, I’ll be posting it in the Dawn Forge group.

Wow, I guess that Extenze is really working for you, huh?
Well, it’s been taking longer than I had hoped to get these up, but number four from the Zero Hour MOCs should be posted in…you guessed it. A few more days. Thankfully, there are only two more left, and then maybe I can actually put down the camera and start BUILDING again!
As always, thanks for looking.

Can you make some instructions please? it would be awesome! |

Kascenovitz! The muzzle guard is totally respectible. Such a guard might reduce light, thermal and acoustic signature, as well protect the gun from damage (important functions for a surface combat system). They don't always look nice, but in the case of the E-1, you know the muzzle guard pulls mad tail! Attack! |

Do you have instructions for this? I tried to build it and cant get the internal things that stick out the back and i also cant get it to stand up on its own. Could you help me out PLZ? |

I've been meaning to ask you, Are you using a black sheet of posterboard here? A vig. I'm posting contains a lot of silver, and I've noticed how good it looks against your backdrops. (I've also seen a frosted piece of sheet metal used... Looks amazing, with a partial reflection of the MOC above, supreme photography.)
Thanks. Yep, just posterboard. Actually, it’s a 40x60 in. piece of black picture matte, but it works the same way.

Nothing especially wrong with the grammar. Better than most, in fact. I approve. Now, you're probably wondering who I am, who the Critic is, and if we are the same person. We're not. We're the crimefighters of MOCpages. |

Looking good. It is a bit non-unique and could use a little pizazz. Needs something new. |

All awesome as always, Brian. The legs look great. Very articulated, and I like the use of those technique pieces on the legs. Gives it a nice sturdy platform. Can't wait for the next one! |

Its really good and I gain alot of constructive incites from your mocs. This one however is a tad small. No, I am not dissapointed in you becuase I have enough respect for you as a good builder to say that this is truly outstanding.Good job. Anywho us at the Spearhead nation are gonna go and work on a new moc, Im posting it today. Mabey you could check it out. Its your call |

Well I think that the cannon fits fine, and meshes with the frontal armour fairly well. I don't think there's anything outstanding about this, but it's better than the average. |

no offense meant by my first comment, but i think that the barrel and muzzle are out of proportion. just my opinion, if you are happy, then it works out, right?
No worries Knoll, but next time, you might consider adding an IMO to a comment as definitive as your first one. Of course, that’s just my opinion…;-) |

Great work again, I really like how you made the bley armor going over the black inside parts (I have to try out that way sooner or later). I´m just wondering what is going to be no.4 one of the APCs or the command mech. |

the feet are unique, but the muzzle of the gun is waaaaay too big.
I completely disagree since the entire mech is designed to carry and use just that one gun, but to each his own. And Phong, you don’t give up, do you…;-) I’m sure I’ll build bigger again eventually. |

Why is your stuff always so awesome? Overall the shape is fantastic, but the legs and the jointing in them are excellent. The detailing on the 'sensor suite' is great, especially the treads wrapped around rod. |
