Who do you think should be the next Big Bad? I personally think it should be Unicron. I figure they open it up with the humans tossing the bodies of the Decepticons into space and low and behold the bodies are eaten up by a dormant Unicron who is awoken by remaining energon and sets his sites on earth. They can even use the "blood of unciron" to reanimate some of our old favorite villain as zombies that way it can be like Dawn of the Dead transformers style.

Personally, I’d like the Big Baddy to be someone brand new. Someone very powerful, intelligent and charismatic, and vicious enough to give some of the more ambivalent Decepticons the shakes as he takes charge and gathers their scattered ranks together from wherever they’re hiding out on Earth and elsewhere in our solar system. In fact, I’d like to see a couple of the Decepticons get so scared that they defect, two old-style Seekers perhaps, one Thundercracker (because I like him), the other a new guy. Reason: I’d just like to see the Autobots’ ranks bolstered by two actual flyers, plus which I’d LOVE to see how our new angry!/Optimus would handle such a situation, ie. acknowledging their genuine potential value versus his constant new inclination to smash them both flat on sight.

in my opinion, there will be a 4th movie and it will be back on cybertron in the great war

I'd like to see some elements of Animated, Armada and Prime mixed in.

Something like...

MECH is a group formed by an ex-Sector 7 agent controlling a militia, who takes over D.C. and using the technology created from Megatron and stolen All Spark shards, creates new life.

The Mini-Cons. Intended to be weaponry, but along the way we find out they have Sparks and consciences and want to be free of war and help Optimus to fight to secure their freedom.

Find out that one of the Mini-Cons was meant to be a hidden weapon in the form of a girl named Sari. (Come to find out, she's a walking, breathing, ticking time bomb who just wants to be normal and needs Autobot help)

And what they don't know is that by using the All Spark shards, they send out a signal and more Decepticons come to Earth when they detect the energy readings and the Mini-Cons.

Leading into the next chapter (movie 5), which could consist of a desperate race such as the Junkions, needing defense from an empire like Jhiaxus's Decepticons. But with a change... Created by the All Spark, but not from Cybertron.

Something like that. If I can spitball something like this, someone with real talent could come along and make a new storyline, keeping the current bots and humans, with a new villain and new reason to be.

I like the way you're thinking of using Unicron, but I just don't think he'd work in the live-action movies, at least not if he's the planet-eater he was in G1. He's just too big. Any shot where we can see all (or even half) of him wouldn't have any other visible Transformers.

I'm not really sure whom I'd want the villain to be, but if they could work Galvatron in, that would be cool. I wouldn't want him to be a resurrected Megatron, though, since he's already been resurrected once. He should either be a new character, or something like a clone of Megatron.

Well think this is the best idea, since the human actors are no more around. It will be a great thing to see more Transformers and action in the screen, I think it will be a bit like War for Cybertron, the movie should be like a flashback or something. And maybe we will see war for cybertron 2 based on this fourth movie

Not a bad idea, but if done, i think they need to do something different than Megs and the rest of the dead decepticons tossed into space. Its been done already. HOw should it be done? That i haven't figured out myself. But then again i
m no movie writer. .

Also keep in mind that if Unicron is brought in, thats going to eat up 50% of the movies budget. Every movie they did something bigger to out due the other (ROTF had devestator, and DOTM had the driller). Each almost crashed the computers at IDM, so Unicron will surely due the same. How is this bad? Less on screen robot time. I know there are quite a few who were fairly content with the screen time we have been given, but for those that want more robot focus, something big like Unicron is going to take away from that.
Just say'in.

Please don't give them any ideas from the Aligned Continuity, its bad enough what the films did to elements of previous Transformers series'.

I realize now that I am very, very, VERY content with animated shows and video games exclusively when it comes to the Transformers.

I can see that you and I are going to have problems. Your other post, you went off on me pretty badly, and your apology was rather hollow.

Now, you're in this thread telling us what we can or cannot do?

Not going to win points here, chief.

Considering every Transformers series is more or less a seperate continuity with it's own unique aspects I fail to see what the movies "did to the elements of the previous Transformers series," as you put it.

Back on topic below this line!!!

Honestly, I want to see the Quintesons take the Big Bad position for the next movie. Sure, Season 3 of G1 was pretty much crap and the Quintesons were one of the crappier aspects, but think about the potential here. Ancient eldritch beings that appear to be hybrids of mechanical and organic life with ties to the Transformer's origins. That base concept is full of potential to expand upon, and I do loves me some Eldritch Abominations when it comes to villianous forces.
