    Unicron should be included. His alt mode cannot be a planet, I agree. However, the character is vital. He is an integral part of the multiverse and should be included eventually. Should that be in TF3, I don't know. My preference would be for TF3 to establish his presence and threat and then see him come in 4. As an alt mode, how about something like Star Trek: Enterprise's Xindi superweapon?

    No, what I meant by "deus ex machina" was by the way Unicron would come across as (he's a litteral god from a machine in a sense), and introducing The Fallen was pushing it since The Fallen is usually one of Unicron's minions.

    Why does everyone want the same stories in every Transformers franchise? I would hate if Unicron was in it.

    I'm much more open to original stories.

    It's not really the same story just because Unicron is in it. I feel sure in saying that Orci and Kurtzman can come up with something original. Anyway, it's always the same basic Autobots fighting against Decepticons plot.

    I agree but I think a lot of people just want to see as many characters in future movies as possible. Unicron would be a cool addition but we've already been there, seen that.

    WOW, the poster of this thread really misspelled "Aerialbots".

    These guys couldn't figure out "Have the dinobots crash land into a museum" as a plausible reason for dinosaurs. I don't have much faith in them being able to figure out unicron.


    On the flip side while I have no faith in thier ability to write TF, they clearly have a mastery of Star Trek!

    As much as I don't think it would work, maybe just have his name and a historical image of him shown just as a homage?

    but otherwise no to him in a Live movie

    Yeah, leave Unicron out of the third movie...maybe if we get to a 5th or 6th movie, then maybe bring in Unicron.

    But we've seen Unicron before. He can be reimagined, but its still Unicron showing up to wreak havoc.

    Let's do some new stuff. Just because its been done before doesn't mean we need to do everything exactly the same again.

    I like Unicron and would find it interesting to see how they would implement him. They could do something like Cybertron's moon (crap that would be a spoiler)

    I really don't see the point, seeing as how we already have the Fallen as pretty much the TF version of Lucifer.

    Please, please, please... Unicron is just too much for the movie peeps to handle. His CGI design will be effing huge, both in planet and robot mode. How could they even possibly have the time and the money to put him into the movies?

    Besides... like what a few people are saying, why do we need him in the movies?

    as to repeat what a lot of people are saying... I really cant see Unicron in the movieverse right now. I like Unicron, just cant see him in the movieverse.
