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.

It was not a demand, it was more of a plea. Also, I'm expressing an opinion, not trying to win the hearts and minds of the people, just tossing my two cents. But, hey, I guess I was wrong when I believed forums were a place to speak your mind. Should I not have a contrary opinion? Can I not voice it?

But whatever, this isn't important, I won't try to throw this guy's thread off topic any more than it has.

Continuing. From a logical perspective, should the series continue further on the same tangent, Unicron makes the most sense. I think the Quintessons idea is pretty interesting, but I doubt the public audience would really buy into it.

There are certainly enough slain decepticons, that's for sure

For all the people who keep bringing up Unicron... that would be very VERY hard to accomplish, the render times of something that size would be the longest, Devastator melted a computer, Unicron could destroy several.

They can mostly do scaling, just make the model with similar dimensions to a normal-sized Transformer scaled up. From a distance it won't even look bad at all, for close ups they can just use a hi-res segment.

EXACTLY! Super animate and detail certain parts, like the head and arms and whatevr other parts that do mass destruction. CYBERTRON was in DOTM, and it was'nt exactly Perfect. But it was pulled off, wasn't it? I liked it. so, a fully animated part were they bust in, insides animated, all that stuff.

Actually, to accommodate Unicron I might do something a touch different - like NOT showing him in a physical form of any kind.

Now mind you, I don't mean going the "Cloudlactus" route - I mean NOT SHOWING HIM, beyond possibly some ancient Cybertronian scribble dug up somewhere that shows some primitive scrawl of some big devil-horned, bat-winged, vaguely-humanoid armored figure - Unicron in his original form, I guess, so as to give SOMETHING to Hasbro to make a toy out of. Basically, I'd turn him into a more intangible and unseen demigod who wants our planet for something BESIDES good eatin', wink, wink.

And yes, I said OUR planet. Assuming there's actually anything left of Cybertron - personally, I like to think that there isn't, for reasons that I think would make great sequel fodder later on - the threat IMO just isn't going to be strong enough if it's a planet other than ours in jeopardy.

A good idea but you gotta remember the Transformers fanbase is still carrying torches and pitchforks over the movieverse character designs. What makes you think it wouldn't be a worse reaction to Unicron going from tangible threat to intangible Fantastic Four 2-esque Galactus thing? Their collective nerdrage would ignite the atmosphere (or at least their neckbeards).

If they were adapt a villain,i think it would be cool to see Thunderwing or Jhiaxus.
If they were to use Unicron,i think it would be interesting to see more the Chaos Bringer aspect in favor of the Planet Eater or they could make a new triology to build up for him in the final.

Yeah, what else is new?
