    Looks like the leaked script was not fake after all.

    As humanity picks up the pieces, following the conclusion of Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Autobots and Decepticons have all but vanished from the face of the planet.

    However, a group of powerful, ingenious businessman and scientists attempt to learn from past Transformer incursions and push the boundaries of technology beyond what they can control – all while an ancient, powerful Transformer menace sets Earth in his crosshairs. The epic adventure and battle between good and evil, freedom and enslavement ensues.

    Fascinating! It's an official press release, so it must be true. Who could this new "forgotten enemy" be? He's got crosshairs, so this could be a clue...

    Anyway, it's some new news. Great to hear.

    That sounds pretty good, actually. I hope this turns out well.

    Unicron? Oh man :(  here here comes Unicron, with a sideways opening mouth and 4 arms.

    Sigh...

    Sounds interesting. I can't help but think that the
    ancient, powerful Transformer menace
    is
    Unicron
    but there's nothing to confirm that in the description, just a feeling I have based on how it's worded.

    I also like that it seems they're following up on the whole "Cybertronian tech in human hands" angle that's been mentioned in the past but never really explored.

    C'mon Liege Maximo. Or anything else that's not Unicron, actually.

    Ah man, I'm very skeptical they can pull off Unicron.

    But really, "an ancient, power Transformer" is about as vague as it gets.

    I remember when all the official material for DOTM said Shockwave was the main villain. I'll take this with a grain of salt.

    Yeah, it could be anyone or anything at this point. Hell, everyone was assuming DOTM would be featuring Unicron based on nothing more than the editing in an ROTF featurette, so I wouldn't put much stock in a few deliberately vague lines in a press release.

    But it's still totally going to be Unicron. :wink:

    Who knows if any of this is true or not. If it is, it has to be Unicron.

    I hope it's not Unicron. Nova Prime? Overlord? Galvatron? I'll take one of those.

    I'm just glad the rumor trains is getting a move on. The lead up to the movie is just as fun as the movie itself.

    Agreed, Unicron might finally have a chance here. If by chance I make it on set again I will keep my ears open.

    Actually they could have gotten MORE vague by just saying an Ancient Transformer, or Powerful Transformer. lol

    $5 says its not unicron, but unicron could be something like Galactus in Fantastic 4.....Really lame cloud in space and a "Herald" of unicron is the actual enemy. Has to be something Optimus can actually fight so he can rip his head off or blow his brain unit out you now.

    Galvatron, Overlord, Bludgeon? I would guess one of these 3 will be the main bad guy.

    What's the fascination with
    ancient
    dudes? Can't we have some young fellas as
    bad guys
    ? Did all the Transformers fail history class or something?

    But you know, keeping an open mind. Just please don't be Unicron.

    I think they could pull of a version of the Quints better than Unicron.
