Well, that was certainly interesting, wasn't it? I'm liking the concept of Unicron being Earth. I've never heard of that storyline being used in any of the continuities. Also, didn't expect such an early physical confrontation between Optimus and what I'm calling Unicron's Heralds. It will be interesting to see how this all develops, and what role Megatron will play in the outcome...

It's of course cool to see Unicron again since his last appearance in Energon. But I have to admit, I think it is too early. It would be a lot better if this was done near the show's end, like the third season. That's not to say I don't like Prime, but to bring out something like this in the first season alone, unless it will only have this many episodes, is a bit too much.

I do say that it's a fun theory to think that all of us humans came from Unicron, his self.

I really like where it's going. Unicron isn't the monotone bore that he was in the A/E/C Trilogy and seems to have value and substance in Prime. I don't see the rock lords as hearalds though, that would be Megatron and most likely someone else in future episodes.

All in all I really like where it's headed. It was great to see a quick glimps of the O.G. 13 too. Oh, and I like how Unicron looks like BWN Unicron. Here's hoping we get a toy of the som'bitch!

I actually like this pint-sized Unicron and how early they debuted him. It means he's not going to be the end-all-be-all-baddie of the show. Who knows? Perhaps in later seasons the show will get rights to use IDW's Thunderwing concept or something.

My favorite part of this episode was finding out the the earth formed
around Unicrn's body.

I did enjoy the back & forth conversation between unicron &
megatron.

I also equally enjoyed the speech optimus gave unicron & unicron
calling eartlings parisites.

best of all I think I enoyed the origin story of primus,the 13 primes
& unicron.

I loved the ancient rock lord designs they created for Unicron in the
transformers Prime cartoon series.
I'm really hoping Hasbro & Takara give us another Unicron new mold toy
in the leader size level or the supreme size level for the Transformes
Prime toy line.

Personally I don't miss Stascream that much. because if all he's going
to act like is a generic starscream that is a backstaber & always
seeker leadership,then that's really booring as it's been done to
death/repeatily already.

I do like that megaton put so much faith & high rank in Arachnid. I
suspose she's the only comprtent,smart & strong decepticon crew member
megatron has left in TF prime.

One thing I want to mention:

I actually saw my homeland in the episode (sure it was unnoticeable and small and unmentioned, but still, it was there when the European electrical failures were shown).
