So that's at least 10 spin-off movies/sequels of world building with little hints dropped in the end credits. Then a big push to confront the threat with, let's say combiners, city bots or something. Unicron transforms and smashes them. Then we spend an hour and half with Bee/Hot Rod/whoever and a few humans traversing Unicron's innards fighting "antibodies" to blow up his brain. I don't know, doesn't sound like good movie viewing to me. But hey, at least the humans interact with him

Which on a side note I blows my mind a little that Hasbro hasn’t just over dubbed the Headmasters and released it. Would have worked well with Prime Wars series.
First time on this forum been haunting it for a hot minute now. If something needs to moved etc please let me know

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

Even though his role in that movie was kinda something of an unintentional ripoff of his role in Beast Wars Neo (e.g. - his reawakened non-corporeal form taking possession of the previously defeated villain faction leader's body as a new vessel--complete with a new makeover that even gives the body new a set of golden horns, no less--for the goal of returning to Cybertron and having his way with it, only to face opposition from the united forces of the show's heroes and villains working together to stop him and save Cybertron, which Unicron initially plows through with the utmost of ease, taking near control of Cybertron's very heart, but is ultimately defeated by a sacred talisman used by the leading mouthplated Prime/Convoy of the show's good guy faction).WiseMan wrote:It also featured a Unicron who was not a planet-eater.

WiseMan wrote:Predacons Rising is still my favorite TF movie. No humans, 95% on Cybertron, and fully CGI. None of which I care about because it was just a great story.

The people representing Hasbro really, really need to take a look at what's already been done. And been done well.

Blame Beast Hunters for that. Season 2 had to blow through three seasons' worth of story to make room for Beast Hunters in Season 3 at the 11th hour.Deadput wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Uh, what about the planet being able to repopulate the species after having been inert for thousands of years?Deadput wrote:Man Predacon rising was such a disappointing movie to me, nothing changed the status quo besides Unicron getting trapped and Optimus dying which was reversed by RID anyways.
Ah yeah there was that, the Omega lock shouldn't have been destroyed earlier if they were gonna go with that ending anyways.

I personally wouldn't mind if they rewrote Unicron to be more than a planet eating planet-former.
My idea would be to sort of make him sort of a Devil like character who has a smaller "avatar" form the size of a typical Combiner who would reach out across the universe to different civilizations and make deals with individuals giving them things they want in return for favors, he would sort of be like a Mass Effect Reaper where spending enough time around him on his "planet" (Which would be the size of a moon at most and the Unicron Avatar would pass off his planet as a simple mobile space station) would corrupt the individual to the point where they end up serving as his herald and would offer their planet and moons to him for consumption and afterwards be sent out to find new planets for Unicron to eventually consume.
This Unicron wouldn't be as powerful as other incarnations where all the planet form has is the "planet sucker" and some guns to combat enemy fighters like the turrets on the Death Star, so Unicron has to work to earn his meals by corrupting enough individuals to take over the planet and shut down all defenses and threats to him so Unicron can safely consume those planets and moons without interference.
Unicron would have several Transformers as heralds since their a space faring species so naturally a few Cybertronians would have come across him at one point or another.
I think Unicron's Avatar could be inspired by his toy from the Transformers Cybertron toyline as well as the original comic Liege Maximo (although I have my own ideas for that character in general, mostly tying him with Logos Prime being his original name and pretending to be an organic galactic mob boss named Liege Maximo)

You, sir, should write for Paramount. That idea could be thread throughout several self-contained stories (read: movies) in many creative ways.

I still 100% believe that. While all of us here are salivating at the thought of a CGI, Transformers-only movie, it would only make a fraction of the money that a traditional TF movie would make. That would pretty much ensure we would never see another one like that. Most people I know who can be talked into watching one of the movies from Michael Bay, would simply never go see a "real" Transformers movie. Or if they did they would hate it.
