    A convoluted solution to a convoluted concept, and best done away with.

    I'm really liking IDW Unicronus,
    - I'm guessing the scientist was Primacron....a visionary?

    - is Acree sitting next to Galvatron?

    Oh no, not the fish things again! If anything, I'll take
    Shockwave having a hand in creating Unicron
    over

    He DID have a hand in his creation... in fact, he was the cause for it. He led the attack on Antilla with foreknowledge that it would result in that happening, due to having been sent to the Past from the future.

    Just reading the wiki summaries confused me. Glad that’s no longer a thing, DC and Marvel make it confusing enough as it is.

    Update regarding upcoming issues.

    Unicron #4 has been pushed back two weeks to September 5th. So downside, no more new issues this month. Upside, we’re looking at another triple release day. :D 

    Unicron #5 has also been pushed back two weeks to the 26th, where it’ll release along with Lost Light #24.

    Optimus Prime #24 is still set for the 19th.

    Hope that Milne will still have enough time to finish the annual sized finale in time....

    I just checked the Comixology page for Issue 4, and it says it’ll be released on the 29th August (making it a 1 week delay, if it is true). Also, the IDW website still says August 2018.

    UPDATE: The date has been changed to 5th September now.

    - Allow Unicron to consume Cybertron
    - Cybertron's energon reserves, tainted by the Talisman during First Strike, kill Unicron
    - With the slate wiped clean, the Transformers start over again with Earth as their new homeworld, and launch a new empire

    He has manipulated events over millions of years so that the Talisman would bring about Unicron’s arrival.

    Unicron would then in turn wipe the entire Cybertronian races slate clean. The endgame being that once Unicron consumes Cybertron, he will perish due to the Talisman tainted Energon within it.

    Therefore leaving the Transformers free of all their past sins and paving the way for a new Decepticon empire on Earth. With the Maximals serving as the next step in the Transformers evolution.

    Couldn't he have just reshaped Cybertronian history while in the past?

    Everything was already a part of the established history, it was all meant to happen.

    In retrospect, I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.
