Orson Welles, no competition. It radiates an oppressive feeling of pure, unadultered evil and perfectly encapsulates Unicron, IMO.

[@malachib100]

Mark Acheson comes second imo

[@GameAndMusicNerd]

ur answer is SO LOGICAL!

[@jamesowens9944]

And to think Orson Welles gave zero F$cks.

[@mrrex3689]

John Noble is a close second

[@chrisconsorte7893]

It’s RoseBud!!! That says it all!!

Orson, no contest. The voice of a God.

[@powerslave6944]

Yup

[@beaudavis3808]

I like John Noble the most tho

[@seriesmaker1209]

Agree

[@CatMaster90001]

You know the thing about Orson Welles doing Unicron? He didn't give two shits about it. He was actually reported to have said in an interview, regarding the role, *"You know what I did this morning? I played the voice of a toy. Some terrible robot toys from Japan that changed from one thing to another. The Japanese have funded a full-length animated cartoon about the doings of these toys, which is all bad outer-space stuff. I play a planet. I menace somebody called Something-or-other. Then I'm destroyed. My plan to destroy Whoever-it-is is thwarted and I tear myself apart on the screen."* And even during his weakest physicality, even when in need of the aid of synthesizers, his voice acting for Unicron still remains the best in Transformers history. He didn't give a womp rat's ass about the role, yet he still put his all into it, and during his final moments in life, at that. This is an extremely admirable thing he did, and displays a great deal of integrity and talent on his part. Orson Welles contributed more to the Transformers mythos than he gave himself credit for, and it is for that and many other reasons that he is a man of cinema to be honored for generations to come.

[@flamekaizer8476]

CatMaster90001 I KNOW RIGHT

[@blitzjaeger]

CatMaster90001 So true man, he just did the part regardless, and its so distinctive, it is probably the most memorable voice from the entire history next to Chris Lattas Starscream IMO.

[@CatMaster90001]

blitzjaeger Most definitely so, my friend. Just imagine if he were alive today to see what an impact he left upon an entire fandom... His reaction probably wouldn't be entirely positive, knowing him, but at least he'd realize the scope of his impact.

[@blitzjaeger]

CatMaster90001 Its also true that in those times, Sci-fi was unheard of, he probably DID think it sounded ridiculous. Who knows, a child of a different generation entirely.

[@CatMaster90001]

blitzjaeger Maybe so... But then again, he did do that War of the Worlds radio broadcast, so he shouldn't be entirely foreign to sci-fi, right?

not only Orson Welles but also his lines "then it pleases me to be the first" sick burn "you exaggerate" my personal favorite "and nothing!" thats how you end a deal! "excellent" i love how pleased he sounds with this line

BNSF1995 The funny thing is, Unicron is basically a fully sentient death star with the ability to devour planets.

[@JacobMKeeneAKADrPepperKing]

+JCBro2014 And unlike The Death star, he eats up these planets instead of frying them with lasers (though he _can_ shoot lasers, he didn't use them to destroy planets in Transformers: The Movie).

Orson Welles may have hated voicing Unicron, but he gave it his all. It's a shame he's left us. But now we have John Noble.

[@Aelvir114]

He gave it his all? Didn’t he say in an interview that he phoned it in?

[@George-Hawthorne]

Orson Welles- the Godlike one Mark Acheson- the Devious One John Noble- the Ancient one

[@LexingtonDeville984]

Orson Welles is the best voice of Unicron. Since he is the Transformers' equivalent of the Devil, his voice could chill your blood. John Noble comes second, he's great in TF Prime.

@@mrrex3689 people are mixed about him being earth and we didn't see his full scale.

[@Radley1982]

Definitely Orson Welles, he captured the supreme detachment that Unicron embodies, he truly made him sound like a sinister cosmic entity that could destroy whole planets and not give it a second thought. Priceless.

[@Laserbeak316]

Without a doubt. But you gotta admit, John Noble comes second as the best voice for Unicron. As he really captures the aspect of Unicron being a god, who wields great power.

[@Radley1982]

Laserbeak316 Yes, he definitely captured the godliness of Unicron, even better than Welles in that regard. So Noble wins out in the godliness category, Welles and Carmel in the detachment category. Definitely.

[@darassylmoniakam]

hard to think ot was its last role

[@Sorain1]

Part of what made that work, I think, is that the role meant basically nothing to him. That kind of total detachment? You can't get that now. You couldn't escape hearing that Unicron is some kind of big deal to people. But that detachment is part of what makes his performance so effective. Because Unicorn simply could not care about such petty things. So it will always be a competition for second best, because you are never going to have that attitude come through again.

[@patroclusilliad233]

I will admit, all of them did pretty good, Orson was the best overall, with Noble coming behind him. Thing is, all of them portrayed a different character in a sense. Yeah they played a god like character but Orson, his was no nonsense, to the point and when he raged you got the feeling his anger was much greater than what he was showing. He was control, domination. not unlike Galactus (not talking about the planet eating thing). It was only during the death scenes that Unicron lost that feeling of control. Before that everyone, even Megatron, which either lunch, a pest or his bitch, that was the feeling I got when his Unicron spoke. Carmel, it felt like he was trying to mimic Orson, it was fitting for Unicron, but just not as good as Orson's but it wasn't bad in anyway. The Armada voice, it sounded like a smug, arrogant devil, which was fitting since it was established that he fed on hatred, conflict, etc and had been manipulating both Autobots and Decepticons to feed his hunger. Blu Mankuma, his voice was completely different, yeah it sounded like a higher being, but it didn't sound like a villain which was fitting since it was really some aliens using his likeness. Finally John Noble, the Prime Unicron, his version was really like that of a god, similar to Orson's but a different way and his was grandiose, it felt like you were talking to a god, he felt ancient, he felt powerful, and it felt that your life meant nothing to him.

[@HeliosThor64]

Orson Wells and John Noble for life.

[@charlesmosher4]

The original voice is the best

[@MackenzieMichael]

Idris Elba should take over Unicron's voice. Orson Welles, though he was the best and original voice, was not responsible for making it awesome. Orson Welles was very sick when he voiced Unicron. Producers were faced with a conundrum of how to go about it without disrespecting Mr. Welles. In the end, his voice was altered to sound the way it does. It was not originally supposed to be so deep and slow.

[@Gojiragon]

If they ever do him in the live action films, he could be a great choice. Although Benedict Cumberbatch could also work.

[@MackenzieMichael]

julianarwen Words cannot express how much I would like to Benedict Cumberbatch play that role.

[@MackenzieMichael]

Dr. Dhoom My source was the special features of the Transformers: The Movie DVD.

[@MackenzieMichael]

Dr. Dhoom Oh really? Well, I have a copy of the DVD that had to be specially ordered online 15 years before your precious Blu-ray, because I did not want the child-friendly censored version. It is reasonable to assume, that I have features that you do not. Now what, you pompous piece of shit? Fucking dirtbag troll. I have forgotten more about Transformers than you'll ever know, Jr. I recommend you take advantage of the wonder that is Google and look it up. It shouldn't be hard to find.

[@MackenzieMichael]

Dr. Dhoom You're a moron! Neither was the 25th Anniversary DVD. I bought the Special Collector's Edition online back in 2000. All other versions were censored at the time. That is neither here nor there though. I am talking about special features. LOOK IT UP, JACKASS! You know, there is a very old saying, "Never argue with an idiot. They will only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience." With that, wise up or shut up! Either way, I'm done with you, piss off!

[@digimaniacstudios5959]

John Nobel is easily the best, he’s fully aware of how much people fear him and isn’t afraid to show his rage, he’s curious about beings that are lesser than him, and was willing to give his sworn enemy his attention and converse with him. And his taunting but formal speaking patterns are amazing, it will be very hard to find a voice actor that can do the role that much justice

I saw an interview with Welles where he said that he doesn’t believe in “phoning it in.” He said that even if he didn’t like a movie that he was doing, he still gave it his all. I think that he gave that interview before he did Unicron but I get the sense that he believed it until the end!
