One of my favorite TOS episodes behind "The City on the Edge of Forever."Β
Brilliant artwork.

Lovely render! Β Its armor has to be the toughest ever seen in Star Trek. Β But why not shoot in the maw? Β With Decker's fondness for repeated full phaser strikes, it might of had an effect!

Well maybe they didn't want to shoot the maw because the maw shoots back!?

It is, Neutronium is incredibly tough, just to crack the hull it require two Borg Cubes focusing their fire on one spot.

trekkie fans hey did you know the the planet eater was created to destroy the borg

Yes, indeed. In Star Trek: Vendetta, Picard's crew came across a larger, more powerful version of it. It was a good novel.

Then why did it destroy planets?

it also destroyed borg assimilated worlds y this machine did at random is unknown my guess major malfunction to planet destroyer like the cardassian missle ship called "dreadnaught" captured by maquee & reprogramed by belanna torres from st voyager series

I think I'd rather see a new TV series.

One of my favorite episodes. Have you see the new digital versions on DVD?

I have! I quite like the remastered version.... and have probably rewatched it about five times, already

The new...sorry it took so long to respond.

Yup - a classic among classics!

That is superb!! One of my favourite episodes too

I never tire of rewatching it... especially with the new FX, now!

I think I made a similar comment on another TOS post somewhere. It allows the series to shine a little more because it has the effects that were intended but the technology wasn't around to create them. Whilst the sets look shaky and the props/makeup is still dodgy, you can forgive a lot of that to the time it was made. But at least with realistic looking ship soaring above the planet in between scenes instead of a grainy blob and a shaky model you can transport yourself into the Star Trek world a little easier

Very nice picture. When you think about it, that was the biggest mistake the planet killer made. Soon Scotty would rig the engines on the damaged ship and Kirk would ram her down the planet killer's throat, giving it the worst case of heartburn in the galaxy!

Ah well... ya can't expect brilliant strategy from a big, dumb planet eater

there is an mission on star trek online in which you have to use a Klingon bird of pry to destroy the Resurrected planet killer......and its a bitch cause it decimates the fleet trying to distract it in 5 mins and then you have to shoot it....down its throat.....when its about to fire its anti-proton beam.....i

you too huh? how many of these things are there? lol

Amazing work! The Doomsday Machine is one of my favorite TOS episodes too, and I like the remastered version, but they could have done a lot more with the effects, I thought. Your version looks great, excellent job!

Ah well, have you looked on YouTube for Doomsday Machine stuff? So many people have done that episode, now. It's GREAT to see the variety in FX and treatments!

I'll look it up right now. Thanks for the tip.

Did Wm. Windom out over-act Shatner or what?!?

I love the red sky (?) effect here (or something like that?)
π: 0 β©: 1
Red just seemed the way to go, as it's 47.654% more evil than other leading colors

and this is quite convincing

That's one unhappy starship....

I bet. runs in my mind in the episode there is only 1 surviver on that ship.

Thanks!
Don't stub your toe on a asteroid, now!...

Or a mighty tiny ship????

now it would be about time to disconnect the saucer-section....
I mean, it would REALLY be about time!!
greatly composed stuff again...and great fxs everywhere!
and now get that crew out of the mess, buddy!

When this episode aired, I don;'t think they'd really figured out that the saucer COULD separate yet?
Glad you liked this lil' slice of planetary apocalypse!
