Well, that explains why two toys that are called "Unicron Megatron" are coming down the pipe. Unicron returns? But his spark was (supposedly) extinguished at the end of the first season. I wonder how they'll have him return. :-?

But "lifeless"? Interesting, I suppose. Megatron will be killed sometime between now and then, most likely in "Deadlock".

Two new Predacons? Also interesting. I'm anxious to hear how they will come about.

Overall, this movie seems like it'll be a thriller! Can't wait to see it.

Sounds completely different than I thought it would, yet amazing!!

My guess: Airachnid and the Insecticons will be controlled or forced to work as Unicron's army since they are still infected with the Dark-En/Synth-En formula. That would be awesome.

No, he was put to sleep not killed.

thing with Megatron comes as a bit of a shock. However, I don't think he's dead, otherwise it would have been worded differently.

One would think that with Unicron's spark going "POOF!", he'd be "dead", or off to another continuity, since he is a multiuniversal singularity.

Yeah, I thought that was a little shocking as well. It did say "lifeless", so either he's dead, or his spark is outside of his body.

I'm guessing this will air on the hub like late august or early September.

I'm excited for this.

Anyone else think the two new Predacons are Skylynx and Darksteel from the Predacons Rising subline?. It gives me even more reason to buy those gorgeous repaints. :KREMZEEK:

I thought they said something about bringing Unicron back; this recon firms it. Can't say I'm enthusiastic about it anyway.

I wonder if any Autobots die here or in Episode 65. :twisted:

They stated that the Matrix is the only thing that can put him back to sleep and that they can't kill him without destroying the planet. Earth is still very much in tact so he's alive.

Yea, he ether has an outer-body experience, is dead or more likely "on stand-by" with forcing himself back into control over his own body during or after the climax, ether as a deus-ex machina to defeat Unicron or as the classic "en of slasher film uprising" thing.
Ether way, this sounds awesome.

Those two predacons are Most likely sky lynx and dark steel.
Didn't see that coming

Of course you do.

Well, I imagine it's not a great spoiler to learn the bad guy dies.

Oh, gracious. Him again?! In a movie whose title makes it sound Predacon-centric? That has to be the biggest load of horse pucky I've ever heard. :roll:

I mean, honestly, would it really kill them to make a movie that's called "Predacons Rising" be about, you know, predacons who are rising?!

As soon as I saw that Unicron Megatron repaint I figured that's what would happen. Kinda like Galvatron in Beast Wars Neo. With Megatron gone though, it gives a good explanation as to how a new Beast Wars could start. But I'm sure that won't happen. :-(

This is a MOVIE! It has no place on DVD release of Season 3.
