Be warned this teaser does contain spoilers, click here to check it out.

That's... WOW! I don't know what else to say.

ZOMG, THIS IZ TEH GR8IST MOOVIE I'VE EVAR SEEN IN MY LIFE!!!

Okay, all geeking out aside, does Unicron look kinda small to anyone else? I mean, he looks to be about the size of a G1 cityformer, whereas, aside from his Cybertron body and that special episode of Energon, Unicron has always been planet sized.

Here, however, he appears down-scaled to be a more like a giant instead of a titan.

Now, I can understand if they did this to make interactions between him and the regular-sized TFs be done easier, but if they found this to be the necessary route to do that, then it remains to be seen as to why.

I don't wanna feel put off by the shrinking down of Unicron, but I just can't help but feel that this is a bit too different a change. If they were gonna go with a villain at this size, they could have chosen from a number of existing villains of that height, rather than taking one of the most iconic villains who is known for his planetary scale and shrinking him down to this degree.

Still, I can't wait to see this!

I imagine it would be quite difficult for five Autobots to defeat a planet-sized Unicron, so city-bot sized Unicron is a giant handful already. But I agree on one thing: can't wait for the three-parter finale.

But does anyone else think that someone of the Autobots might die? I saw Miko's and Arcee's reactions and I assume that someone might be in for the end.

Like I've said in the past, I still feel that it's too early in the show to bring in Unicron. If they wanted a villain of this height, someone like the Liege Maximo would have been far more perfect. Especially considering how the prophecy talks about spheres aligning, and the Liege Maximo resides at the Hub, which is a network of several massive metallic spheres that he aligns in order to ascend to godhood.

According to what we were told at SDCC, a main character is expected to die at some point between now and mid-season 2. So, anyone who's a main character in this show has the potential to be offed at anytime now.

actually, if you pause the thing. the design for unicron kinda looks like a super-sized megatron. kinda makes me wonder if that isn't really unicron but more of a powered up megs.

then again, it may just be the prime designs for the character.

Ratchet is noticeably missing from a lot of those clips, me thinks he'll be the one taking a dirt nap here shortly.

Ratchet's almost always absent from the battles, as he stays behind at the base to operate the GroundBridge.

OMG. I just knew it. But I seriously can't wait. I've been dying to see a new episode of Prime. In the mean time, I think I'm going to marathon Prime all over again this week in anticipation!

YES, I can't wait. Transformers Prime has been absolutely an amazing show. It may possibly be the show that replaces G1 for me. The timelines of war for cybertron and TFP, have delivered a solid Transformers story.
I've seen many images of TFP figures, but are they out yet?

This is a question out of the blue, how was Dotm's game compared to WFC?

I've heard that some of the toys will be start coming out onto shelf by December. I know Ratchet's won't be coming out until 2012 though. I just hope that they make the entire main cast, including Knockout and such in the toy line.

so lame

I kind of like the idea of unicron being smaller than normal.
btw at 0:23 you can see megatron fighting beside optimus

he is smaller than a city transformer. this is stupid.

Has anyone thought it could be a Decepticon? Maybe Starscream or Soundwave? And what about Knock Out and Breakdown?

But if Autobot then:
A) Bulkhead - we saw Miko scream for something in teaser. Most likely she would scream for Bulkie.
B) Bumblebee - he might still go after Megatron in rage. After all, it was due to Megs that Rafael almost died.
C) Optimus Prime - It's kinda a tradition that OP dies in every show. That's not much to go by, but if Optimus has no other choice but to sacrifice himself to destroy the chaos bringer, he would.

And possibility D) Jack - Well, not a dead-gone way dead, I mean it could be like Sam Witwicky in ROTF: he gets killed and is awaken back alive by some Unicrons opposite or the Covenant of Primus, in order to earn something that would help killing The God of Destruction.

Hrm, I'm beginning to think that our "unlikely ally" might turn out to be Megatron as opposed to Starscream or MECH as some have suggested.

I can kind of understand why some people are pretty underwhelmed by the idea of Unicron being small for, well, Unicron. But at the same time, I don't think it's a bad change. I mean, he's still enormous and intimidating, just not so freaking big that you couldn't show any detail on the character and have another character in the shot.

I was honestly thinking that since it's likely we wouldn't get a planet-sized Unicron, we'd wind up with one who's normal-sized anyway... But then again, I suppose there's nothing saying he might not be capable of changing his size anyway to please people on both ends of the spectrum.

I'm kind of curious to see what his alt-mode will be. Perhaps as a part of their running gag, Agent Fowler will come in with some vehicle of mass destruction or something to that effect and Unicron could scan it.

...For some reason, I really want to see Miko walk up to Unicron and try to kick his foot or something.

I don't mind Unicron being scaled down but i am VERY disappointed that they didn't use a voice actor with a very deep voice. VERY disappointed.

Seriously, with that weak voice, how can we take Unicron seriously? It is so important to have a deep dark sinister voice to go with him that I think that will take away a lot from just how powerful the character is.

When I saw the video, I had a nerd-gasm three seconds in. A new record!

You have just restated everything I got out of this trailer.

UNICRON!!! I just hope he gets bigger... and they change the voice actor.

I can't wait for this!

Also to all those mad about Unicron's height...who said this was his true form to begin with?

Unicron has been shown to warp reality, posses others, manifest in different bodies, and create avatars, so this may just be one of those. I mean why go after what to you are insects?

This is a god we are talking about after all.
