People are discussing if Unicron should appear in the live movies, but I think it's perfectly valid to discuss if he should appear in Animated, too.

No, he shouldn't.
I'd love me some Animated Quints, though. I'm sure they'd be Five Faces of Adorability

I'd love to see the allspark turn something INTO unicron- like a metallic asteroid or a space station.

Yes, but not be a planetformer.
I like his robot mode design and name. I'd like to see it come back.
But the notion of planetformers are pretty silly. Maybe a ginormous spaceship, about the size of a city.

I love unicron and everything,but give him a break. he´s had enough crap in the unicron trilogy,and his toys weren´t any good either. we should just have gotten the beast wars neo version.
Seriously,the armada toy? not impressive,it's planet mode doesn't fit together very well,he can't stand up in bot mode,he's a fun homage but converting him to toy format is a bad move if you don't intend to release a fort max-sized one,that can at least stand. (his cybertron toy looked funky,but he's okay,i just think a bigger,sturdier,better feeling version of the tank would have been better,i accept him using a body of regular transformer proportions as long as it ties in with the series,but at least make him capable of not getting squished by optimus prime's foot.)

Alpha trion? perhaps he can cop a feel to some fembots again.
Or maybe order prime again to put his waist-cable into a fembot crotch while he watches. (i'm not making this up,watch the search for alpha trion)

Based on the track record of this show the Planet-Robot Unicron will probably be Sari sticking the key into a school classroom globe...

A definite
NO to a Unicron inclusion. Not that he's stupid or anything, it's just that he wouldn't fit
ANYWHERE into the storyline.
Plus if they did include him, CN would have to make another one of their crappy TV movies.

Dude! Unicron can stand. Im not sure where you bought yours but my 2 stand perfectly.
I think judging if Unicron should be in it is up to the SUPERB writers and if they can fit him in there withOUT Powerglideing up the series. I agree that it COULD be bad. Butthen again it could RULE too! Think about it. Depends on how it is played out. You never know till its there, is my point.
But if you think about the a/e/c series and try to put THAT in the TF:A series. NO.
Im looking forward to the ship turning into Omega Supreme.

you must just not be good at balancing him then. He doesn't do standing still in a static pose well, work with the articulation and he can stand without aid...

and look badass in the process (I actually came upon mine by chance, i went to argos and bought hoping for omegs but got him instead, don't regret it though. Just wish i'd got the other coloured one at some point too.
As for Unicron appearing in animated, only if it was in three years time. references to him as the transformers devil is fine and would be cool but not as an entity, at the moment the franchise has done what it needed to do, gone back to Autobots vs Decepticons. Sometimes simplicity works

you have got no idea how much i'm fighting the urge of putting him next to a fan to prove you wrong
FWIW he's still in that pose now, untouched, and i've blown at him several times, and left my window open all day.

I've had mine in a pretty much static pose for MONTHS. Rhinox, you just gotta mess with those "feet" a little and it should be fine.

Not for a while, and not unless after at least a seasons worth of build-up. Maybe he could appear as some sort of horrible doomsday weapon made in the great wars but never used. Unicron is a part of Transformers mythology and I think he can be used appropriately but not right away. Bring in things like Galvatron, Scorponok, maybe even Thunderwing IDW styley first.
As to the toy, I've had few balancing issues with mine. He can sometimes take a little work but once you've found the right pose he stands fine forever. Incidentally, if you balance him against the back of the shelf, he looks great in planet mode too.

i think agood way to have him is as a myth, exactly that, some believe he exists but it's never really explored, like if there is ever mention of religion.
