There are many customizable parts in RUA2 that allow you to modify your unicorn to fit your personal style. Though each part has a simplistic description of how it affects the unicorn’s performance as a whole, there is still a large amount of variation. For example, there are many unicorn bodies that are described to allow the unicorn to go at a “moderate” speed, but each of these go at their own speed. Because of this I have tested each part and ranked them in comparison with the others, in order to provide a sense of how each part really performs.
About Unicorn Bodies These are the most dramatic customization choice for your unicorn. They affect how quickly you run, and the starting as well as the maximum speed you reach. Each is made according to a different theme, and each is matched up with other themed body parts. In addition to this, many of these themed parts have an opposite; for example, the U-800 is the Team Inferno version of the UV N-7 for Team Rainbow. However, how you mix and match these parts is purely up to you. There is no “best” choice so far as bodies are concerned, and each player will have their own preference for how fast they are comfortable with going in this game. You should try every body to see how it feels. Do not rely on descriptions alone to tell you how a given part works, because though many bodies “run at a moderate pace” for instance, each moves at a different speed.

Robot Unicorn MK II Runs at a leisurely pace
Robot Unicorn MK II
This is the basic unicorn body that everyone starts out with. Its design is reminiscent of the original game, Robot Unicorn attack, where you play as a silvery unicorn with a rainbow mane that is quite simple in design. This body runs at a leisurely pace, and is one of the slower bodies in the game. This gives newer players more time to react to obstacles, and makes it one of the easiest bodies to use in the game. It appears to be a generic unicorn body, and can be made to look either like a Team Inferno or Team Rainbow unicorn depending on the mane and tail it is given. However, it can also be viewed as the Rainbow counterpart to the first body that you can purchase, the Iron Pegasus.
Iron Pegasus Runs at a moderate pace
Iron Pegasus
This is the cheapest unicorn body you can purchase, and used to be the first unlock when the game still worked with level unlocks for body parts. Nowadays it is simply the easiest body to buy for an early player without many Unicorn Tears. It is also the first obviously Team Inferno unicorn on the list. Black metal, fiery, and with glowing red eyes, this unicorn is reminiscent of the offshoot game, Robot Unicorn Attack Heavy Metal, that took place in a world full of fire, brimstone, and heavy metal music. This is a unicorn body that stands for everything Inferno. It runs faster than the Robot Unicorn MK II but slower than most other bodies in the game, making it a good choice for the beginner that wants an Inferno body.
Sparkle Charmer Runs at a moderate pace
Sparkle Charmer
This body was part of the set introduced during Christmas 2013, the year that the game was released. It was part of an update and was introduced along with the Paindeer 2000 for Team Inferno. This is the tTeam Rainbow Christmas special. It runs at a fairly good pace, though still slower than those unicorn bodies that run at a fast pace. It is graceful and crystalline when it runs, like a snowy night.
Celestial Resonator Runs at a fast pace
Celestial Resonator
This body is the most recent release from Adult Swim, and it is THE fastest running body in the game. As the fastest body of all, it is therefore one of the most “advanced” of bodies, traveling through the level and over obstacles very quickly. The benefit of this is that your score will go up more quickly. The downside is that your reaction time has to be much faster to survive for any amount of time. It is difficult to determine what Team this body is aligned with, as it seems rather cosmic and nebulous, like it it is beyond such divisions. This is a beautiful and mysterious unicorn to watch in motion.
Paindeer 2000 Runs at a fast pace
Paindeer 2000
The Inferno part of the Christmas 2013 update, this unicorn is really more of a reindeer. An evil, scary, “Nightmare Before Christmas” kind of reindeer. This robot runs at a quick clip, though it is not as fast as many of the other fast moving bodies. For those who want a body that runs fast but not too fast, this deer might be for you.
Wrath Mare Runs at a fast pace
Wrath Mare
The Wrath Mare is the Inferno counterpart of the Solar Chariot, and runs almost as quickly, though it is slightly slower. It appears to have a dark, middle-aged fantasy theme to it. It is a thickly built unicorn that nevertheless charges very quickly. This is a unicorn for more experienced users because of its speed, which is among the fastest in the game. It was part of a release after the game came out in which more bodies and parts were provided for players.
Solar Chariot Runs at a fast pace
Solar Chariot
The Solar Chariot is the second fastest unicorns in the game, with a running speed second only to the Celestial Resonator. Regardless, this body is extremely fast, far faster than almost all other bodies in the game. It has a clear ancient Egyptian theme to it, from the pharaoh mask-face to the horn, which is the same shape as the swords Ancient Egypt was famous for. This is an ideal body for those who wish to go fast in order to raise points quickly. However, those with slow reaction times or unused to the game would do better to choose a slower body that would give them more time to react to obstacles.
U-800 Runs at a moderate pace
U-800
This is an Inferno unicorn that is very reminiscent of the Terminator. So get on this unicorns back if you want to live, this is a body that moves at a good, steady pace. A perfect middle-ground unicorn for those who want a body that is faster than the leisurely bodies and yet not so fast as the fastest. It is also less expensive than many other unicorn bodies, allowing intermediate players to be able to purchase it and move through the levels faster than they had before.
UV N-7 Runs at a fast pace
UV N-7
This is the Team Rainbow counterpart of the U-800, and it runs faster than it. This is a unicorn that reminded me of Portal and the robots in Portal 2 as soon as I saw it. Something about those white, clean lines mixed with the black wires and insides. In any case, this was my favorite unicorn body for quite a while as an intermediate player, as it was my first body that moved fast. It was once I got this body that I really started to master the game, and I have many good memories of using it. This body moves much faster than the ones before it (at least, in the original release of the game before the Christmas special and the Solar Chariot). It is a good pace that makes you really feel like you are covering ground, and yet is not nearly as fast as the fastest bodies in the game, making this a good step up. But as I said before, there is no best body, as it comes down to personal preference and play style when you build your unicorn. You may find you prefer the slower ones, or the moderate ones, or that you only like a specific body because it is the perfect speed for you. Each unicorn is different, and to each, their own.
Pageant Princess Runs at a leisurely pace
Pageant Princess
This is the slowest unicorn body in the game, the only unicorn slower than the first unicorn, the Robot Unicorn MK II. It looks a lot like a pony from MLP in its design, and this may or may not have been purposeful. Adult Swim appears to be intentionally referencing in this game with their unicorns. Regardless though, this Team Rainbow unicorn is the most “cute” styled unicorn in the game, and looks almost like something right out of the Barbie princess section in a Toys R Us. If you like slow moving bodies, than this is for you. It moves so slowly that the jumps are much more vertical than the other bodies, with a steeper rise and fall, and each wing beat has more of an up and down motion regardless of wings.
Void Maker Runs at a fast pace
Void Maker
This body is the dethroned, former king of speed. The Void Maker was once the ultimate, fastest body in the game. In the original release of RUA2, this body was the final unlock (because back then, you had to unlock unicorn parts by getting a high enough level before you could buy it with your Tears). However, now it has been displaced by several other, faster unicorns, such as the Solar Chariot, Wrath mare, and Celestial Resonator. however, it is a beautiful design for a Team Inferno unicorn, and certainly looks the part of a final unlock. It appears almost dragon-like, with a writhing, sinuous appearance to its body and mane. There is something dangerous and threatening about its appearance in a mores subtle way than the other fire streaming Inferno unicorns. For a long time this was my favorite body in the game, along with all the rest of its parts. I used it for a long time until other, faster bodies were released, and then I experimented and switched to those. Nowadays when I go back to playing with this body for nostalgias sake, it feels slow in comparison. And yet there was a time when it was the fastest and it seemed amazingly fast compared to every other body. This is still a great choice for those who want speed but not the fastest speed, or even for those who just love the way this body looks.
