    John Noble already has a really cool voice, I don't know why they felt the need to screw with it and deepen it. I think it sounds really ridiculous.

    Other than that the rest was epic, especially the origin story of Unicron and Primus and the inclusion of the original 13!

    I have a feeling they're going kill Prime.... which will just be ******ed. I'm really God damn sick of Prime dying in every incarnation of Transformers..

    When Optimus used his sword in the Unicron fight, it looked like it was still broken from his fight with Megatron in the episode before. He still had the same battle damage from the earlier episode, so it's certainly possible. Of course, I could be wrong, I'll just have to check when I watch it again.

    Who ever thought that "Unicron" and "Troop Builder" would ever be in the same sentence?

    "You expect me to ride in a non-transforming vehicle?" :lol 

    It was surprising to see Unicron poo-poo Megatron so completely. Megs can't be taking that too well...I think Unicron may have made a big mistake.

    It puts a different twist on the old "Autobots protecting the innocent humans" thing, doesn't it? The bots are protecting the spawn of their greatest enemy.

    Not necessarily imitate just has to be deeper and darker. The current voice is good just not evil or intimidating. It lacks a oh shit get me the hell outta here feeling. When unicron spoke in the 86 movie you felt it, believed he was a bad m'fer. I just dont get that feeling from the current voice.

    When Unicron spoke in the 86' movie I thought it sounded more like "oshit grandpa is drunk again" than evil.

    I loved how the writers did that without caring what the pit the soccer moms will say. I love the writers for doing that. Anyway today's episode was AMAZING! This could be the best Unicron ever! My favorite part was when Unicron as volcanic mist/clouds told Megatron that he is not needed and if he could kill Prime he could have done so a long time ago. Unicron pretty much gave Megatron the middle finger and told him to go away subliminally. Megatron has officially lost him processor completely. Thanks to Unicron Earth and the humans are basically screwed unless the Autobots find a way to defeat him. I can see some of the Decepticons like Knockout and Breakdown changing sides soon because I don't think they want to work for a mentally gone Megatron. Transformers Prime set the standards for a exciting, dark, and epic story very high for the future shows with the way it's going.

    Could it be that in '86 you were younger and the voice seemed more intimidating then than it would now that you are probably not a kid?

    I know for me, as an adult, I thought John Noble's voice (as Unicron) was eerie and not someone I'd want to meet in a dark alley, much less have talking to me from a mountain wall, and it looked like Optimus wasn't too happy to hear it either. :eek:

    Yea...I see Megatron and prime teaming up, as soon as megatron made that shitty face when Unicron Poo Poo'd him.

    I agree...at first, I thought the idea of Unicron being IN the planet was dumb, but when ratchet explained earth was formed with gravity of space shit building up ON unicron for billions of years...YEA...I'll bite into that NOOooo prob.

    My Dad was a HUGE Orson Welles fan, Naturally I watched alot of the old stuff with him as a kid.

    Some people are born with gifts...Peter Cullen....Micheal Jackson....Micheal Jordan.

    Orson Welles had one of the most WORLD recognizable voices before our generation for a reason.

    Personally, If they would have tried to MATCH Orson's voice to a tee, it would have failed. There is NO way anyone...That I have heard in memory, that could capture just WHAT Orson Welles did to bring Unicron Alive in 86'.

    I would go so far as to argue that if anyone else at the time did the voice acting for Unicron, The Character would be hated, despised, and be one of the "sore" spots on TF mythos. Orson took an unknown character, and by simply being himself, (much like Peter Cullen) gave Unicron more than just a screen appearance...Orson Welles gave Unicron something MUCH more...he gave him CHARACTER.

    As a Kid...I used to hear "Unicron's" voice....and it would freakin shake me to the bone.. "For a time, I was considering sparing your wretched little plant of Cybertron...now, you will witness it's dismemberment"!!

    WHO?!?!?! SERIOUSLY WHO in the hell could say that...and pull it off like that?!?!? FREAKIN NOBODY....Orson Welles is STILL selling Unicron toys on Amazon almost 30 years later much like Elvis is still selling records.

    Im fine with the new voice...Im glad they didnt try to hard to match Orson Welles...there just is not a way to do that without HIM.


    The finale episodes are going great. Really liking them

    I like Unicrons design more when he has actual hands...I'm not liking the rocky outcrops.

    This does pose a few questions.

    Seeing as He can basically be any size he wants to be are we going to see a new Unicron Toy in the Prime Line?
    And if so whats he going to turn into?
    ...I can't see it being a mini version of earth
    due to this story it doesn't look like his alt mode is a planet rather hes had a planet form around him and his body has become part of it.

    Oh crap they made Unicron a ROCKLORD!!!!

    Great episode, lots of suspense and action. Still warming up a bit to the new Unicron voicewise, but when you're up against Orson Welles it's a tough act to follow.

    I just wanna say, Optimus had SO MANY EMOTIONS in this episode.

    -Turns to Raf with a smile, DEADPAN COMMENT BY JUNE, and then okay.jpg sad frown look away.
    -A legit look of fear/ uncertainty.
    -His voice is astonishingly
    -Him walking despite injured as fuck to try and convince June to stay. (got me screaming)

    It seems like they're taking the Prime lineage from the movies, which is pretty rad. Cybertron being Primus is also PRETTY AWESOME.

    Unircron's voice seems to have a small accent in it, but I like it so far. Still kinda in shock so I can't detail everything really well right now.
