No, there isn't a figure made to represent Qin Shihuang in the Terracotta Army. It's reasonable that the emperor shouldn't be include in his honor guards. He is resting in his "underground palace" to the west of the place terracotta warriors buried.
The estimated burial time of the Terracotta Army is around 209 BCE, and the discovery time is 1974 CE. Thus, the Terracotta Army was buried for 2100 years at least.
He ordered to build the Terracotta Army as his tomb guard in accordance with the appearance of his elite soldiers.
The Terracotta Army was an army of life-sized terracotta figurines found in an ancient Chinese Imperial burial.

It was not the Terracotta Army that Qin Shihuang used to take the whole country, but the soldiers who the Terracotta Army modelled after. Thus the unification of China by Qin Shihuang was happened in 221 BCE.
