It’s kind of a bad pun actually.
1)Unitcorn is a big guy in an armored unicorn costume.
2)Randy Johnson the Hall of fame baseball pitcher is very tall(6’10”) and was nicknamed “The big unit”. Quinten Lynch, the Australian football player is 6’4″ and has the same nickname.
Basically I combined “unicorn” with “big unit” to make the name Unitcorn. It’s a dumb name(intentionally) because Unitcorn is a fairly dumb villain (as we will see as the story progresses).
Yas, bring in the sexy robo-unicorn-attack! Hopefully he will be part of the reformation program too. Part of me hopes the super suit dumbs him down whenever he puts it on. Like its military (or space-alien) supersoldier tech and the govt wanted to make sure the wearer would be easy to manipulate. Maybe hypnotic programming or a cybernetic brain implant override. Whatever.
I also hope we get to see Awesome girl riding this pony. Thanks to the voting incentives we already know she has a saddle…
But if you have other plans that’s okay too. I can always do a fanart or fic. You’re doing great and can’t wait to see what happens next.
To be honest, Unitcorn doesn’t need his super suit to dumb him down because he’s pretty dumb already(as we will see as the story progresses).
As it happens, Awesome Girl and Unitcorn have a history, but it’s not a friendly one…
I got the idea for the name from a baseball player that was unusually tall. His nickname was “The Big Unit.”(Baseball nicknames are weird.)
It seemed like an amusing(and suitably stupid) name for the character.
I had a lot of other potential names for the character(I liked Rainbow Bash, for example) but most Pony parody names were already being used by other people, so I had to dig deep.
Unitcorn? Explain please?

Wooow.
At least he’s got a sense of humor.
I’ve heard that women like men with a sense of humor.
(This might be an exception, though.)
… They might need to have uncommonly loose morals and be more than moderately drunk.
That too!
I get the feeling that Unitcorn was modeled after Rhino. And I take it that the color of his mane was inspired by Rainbow Dash?
Yes and yes! 😀
That immediately killed my and possibly every other readers’ boners. Unless they like to see a muscular man in a tight suit.
No worries, there will be boner-inducing material later in the story! 😉

Ah. I assume this is how Borderline Brenda kept the execs under control: she had Unitcorn leaning on them.
Your assumptions are correct! Brenda is all about the backup plans.
She’s smarter about this than the Joker, that’s for sure!
I’m wondering about the other possible meaning of the pun name.
