[@aztn19]

The “Unicron as the Earth itself” concept is the most interesting concept of the character that I both loved and hated. In the Prime cartoon series, it felt like an awesome way to justify why so much of Cybertronian technology including their lifeblood Energon was on Earth in the first place & why Earth is so important to all the Transformers. When they introduced the idea that Earth was Unicron in the Last Knight movie, it felt like a tired plot twist that the Bay crew put in as lazy fan service - even though it served as the same plot device as in the Prime series. It was also a bit of a ret-con of the first movie in that the Transformers found Earth by complete happenstance like in the original cartoon, but by Transformers 5 it was the main reason why the Transformers were drawn here all along - and why scouts like Jetfire from Revenge of The Fallen and Bumblebee seemed to know that Earth would be a crucial factor in the Cybertron Civil War.

At a cost. Unicron can’t transform because new Transformers media will never destroy Earth unless it’s some sort of dark future that gets avoided with time travel. We’ll never see him fight again if this keeps up. Like he’ll just become a jobber that just exists behind the scenes.

[@mikeliosketch746]

@@TheUncivilizedNation Honestly this isn't a huge loss, it puts him at equal footing with Primus (who is Cybertron itself). By this point if they wanna make Unicron transform and fight they should make it interesting and have Primus also transform to battle against him. Two robot worlds duking it out would be legendary to watch.

[@wyvern876]

I'm admittedly biased towards Armada, but I really enjoyed how they showcased Unicron: this vast entity who interacts with the universe through these complicated plots and schemes behind the scenes, never actually making himself known until it was almost too late to stop him, and only ever speaking at the very end, and through the body of a servant, as if to say he's so far beyond any of the transformers that that is the only way he could directly communicate with them. The extreme hype that was watching him slowly transform over the course of several episodes added to that.

[@zandylovesrisk]

I like the idea of the war feeding Unicron. I'd like too see that revisited with one of the more modern Decepticon origin stories like Aligned or IDW1

[@GreatFox42]

I think Armada handled Unicron's scale the best. The fact that his transformation _did_ take several episodes, as well as his "slow" movements once fully formed just so heavily sold the idea that it was a planet-sized machine of horror.

I find John Noble, the actor who provided Unicron's voice in the Prime animated cartoon, to be an underrated performer of the character. Noble had already given stellar performances as Denethor II in the Lord of the Rings movies, Dr. Walter Bishop in the TV series Fringe, and the time demon Mallus in DC's Legends of Tomorrow, so hearing him in Prime gave me chills.

[@Nameless-ln5mr]

I find that concept to be interesting. The “monster planet” being Earth, or at the very least, it’s core, means the heroes have to find a way to defeat the Chaos Bringer without harming the planet, so it’s a problem that can’t simply solved by blowing up the enemy.

I wish live action movies would've actually got to Unicron. I know his horns were shown in the 5th movie. But I also wanted him to come alive and destroy Earth. Him being defeated before he can rise out of the Earth in all these stories is lame and boring. Unicron is touted as the ultimate evil and chaos itself as well as massive destruction. So him being easily defeated all the time is so corny. There needs to be a story with actual stakes, where transformers and humans die.

Personally, my favorite aspect of Unicron was the Minicon because, although they were created by him, they ultimately stood against him and overthrew his tyranny owing to the fact that they were still individual Transformer lives with souls of their own that learned the values of life, love, and kinship throughout the Transformers series. Also, the fact that they remotely fueled Unicron with the aggression and hatred of warring Transformers leading to peace and cooperation between Decepticons and Autobots for the greater good felt satisfying. Plus the Minicon were cute and cool and gave awesome powerups and were great allies.

[@georgeshelton6281]

Can I just tell you something that's off the subject? The reason why I'm bashing the most recent actor; Robert Pattison who played as Batman is that, the DC Comic book hero has a strong reference to the 1976 R-rated adventure drama movie called 'Taxi Driver.' I still do remember the time when; John Hinckley Jr; tried, to assassinate former President Reagan. The movie director Martin Scorsese; has this I-don't-care attitude, about who would carry a grudge against all American Christian conservative government leaders. The same thing goes for the actor Robert Pattison; he just doesn't seem to care about, the Batman impersonators that got arrested nationwide. He also has this I-don't-care attitude, about who's not a Batman fan. Also who are the Santa Cruz County jail inmates; who aren't serial rapist and murderers, have to clean up the freeways.

I always loved Unicron's whole deal, and im actually kinda sad that the Universal Singularity thing wasn't just reduced down to applying to him and Primus since it made feel that much more vast and ancient, and lent the Unicron Singularity from cybertron a bit more oomph because its origins weren't as simple as "His mass collapsed in on itself and created a black hole." It was specifically the fact that Unicron, no matter how badly he's defeated, is never actually supposed to die. So when he finally died in Energon, the multiverse didn't know how to process this and concluded with putting a black hole where Unicron used to be. (Yeah I know its just a normal black hole in galaxy force, but since it formed right next to cybertron the unicron origin feels compelling)

Prime's Unicron has to be my favorite. It was nice to have him be there from the start rather than come in late. Armada's comes second, then G1's. Rest I've never seen.

[@PhantomLover007]

Orson Welles will always be the voice of unicron in my head. It was kind of weird hearing a different voice in a series after the 86 movie. The original movie was the last role that Orson Welles played before he passed away. For us G1’ers, this was his legacy for us.

The opening of the 86 movie is my favorite movie scene to this day. From the music to seeing lithone digested, it left me with an awe that no movie has matched. It also helped start my love for animation. the Unicron trilogy helped me get through some rough moments in my life. The armada toy was my first big transformer. In short the Chaos bringer has impacted my life and I would proudly serve him till the end, unlike those ungrateful mini-cons.

Not many movies match the '86 opening tbh. The opening had incredible animation for the planet shots, which I give big props for Toei when animating those. I usually crap on 'em, too. Not to mention the music which made the scenes feel more spacey and mysterious. F/SN HF2's main fight scene is probably the only other movie scene I've seen where everything fit perfectly in place for one scene and all my demands were met.

I love all Versions of Unicron. I always thought him being a "Multiversal Singularity" was a fun idea, but I was also glad to have him as a Multiversal Constant (meaning every universe has it's own Unicron) as I had always wanted to see a Unicron who was good rather than evil and so on. I like to think it will add variety to the character or his name. Same goes for Primus as well.

For example how to fight unicron as well as after he's killed. Maybe it can be a sense of tension with humans and all cybertronians.

The armada origin for Unicron and Primus is very similar to the origin of Dc's Monitor and Anti-Monitor

Honestly, it pretty much is, with the Monitor/Primus having multiple bodies across universes, while Unicron has a single body that can freely travel to any universe. In both cases, Unicron/The Anti-monitor are respectively stronger than their counterpart because their power isn't diluted.

"You possess nothing! It is I who possess all that you were, and ever will be!" And. "I am this world's past, its present, and its future, and from this day forward all primes are simply past!"

OK, so in the G1 cartoon, Unicron was created by Primacron. In the comics, Unicron was an evil god and Primus' brother. So, here's my own headcanon. Primacron did create Unicron's robotic body but the genius was being influenced by Unicron's disembodied consciousness. Unicron may have been destroyed by Primus, but his consciousness remained, floating around until it could influence someone to make a body for him. Hence, Unicron in G1.
