Zachary Thoroman the transformation spent more time as it took 16 years to even get a toy out of him, the 80s one was nowhere near what he was doing from planet mode to robot mode
Yeah, far more detail on him as well. BUt granted movie budget vs serial budget. Not Granted: New technology vs Old technology... so they should have some help technology wise XD. It just shows how awesome the animation of the movie was :). That and 80's lasers in animation still give an LSD light show we can all get behind XD.
This transformation was always scarier to me strictly due to the fact that for my generation, Unicron was a voiceless monster. I personally (as a kid) had no idea what he was. He never talked. He just had a vassal and an ambassador going around, doing his bidding (Thrust and Sideways). That said, to see him transform from a voiceless weapon into a giant planet-sized monster robot was freaky and had a much more bleak energy to it. G1 was scary too but Unicron had a personality and he spoke which is a huge deal in terms of atmosphere because a lot of what we see in the show have voices. It's a human trait. He thinks. Operates with a plan. This Unicron? Gives nothing away. He simply exists to destroy and doesn't speak [directly]. He's just a giant monster who arrives as a symbol of armageddon.
It's just like the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy said, "Humans have a remarkable desire to point out and state the obvious. Such as... 1. He is pure evil 2. He is gigantic 3. So this is it, we are all going to die. There are several theories as to why they do this. The most common held belief is that if they stop talking their brains might start working.
The smaller moon you're referring to is Dead End, Unicron's "Minicon." He sort of appears in the show; there's a bunch of really tiny versions of him that are used as a defense mechanism for Unicron when the Autobots and Decepticons landed on him, but unfortunately, a full-sized version didn't show.
That looked like it was hard to edit. But seeing it spliced together like this brings a astonishing amount of detail to my attention. It's exactly like the original unicron from the movie, If they did'nt cut away so much. Thanks for this awesome video.
I like how Ash ketchum and the boys don’t freak out seeing the giant fleet sized embodiment of evil go from planetoid to supertitan. They’re just like “dang that’s unicron” “wow really? unicron?”
Aside from the G1 Transformers and Beast Wars and Beast Machines and Transformers Armada the only other Transformers series where Unicron is mentioned is in Energon Cybertron and Transformers Prime and in the last Michael Bay Live Action Transformers movie.
I'll be honest, I was born the same year that the original Transformers movie came out. As a result, it was a major movie I would sit down and watch as a kid. As such, I found that Unicron to be the embodiment of all that was awesome and evil at the same time. I look at this one and I just... find myself perplexed. It lacks any real detail, has a very lopsided appearance, and somehow lacks the imposing "Oh shit" air it originally carried. I find myself unimpressed.
@@UlyssesAlpha and killing this unicron still caused major problems since it resulted in a black hole that would’ve consumed the entire universe until primus had to step in and stop it
Armada Unicron has a deeper background, more based on religion. 86 movie Unicron was nothing more than a science project by some intergalactic super genius
i like how they did that. unicron's head orbited cybertron in g1, and now they say he fed on their hatred to rebuild his body. and he was just lucky enough for rocks to cover him. a robot in disguise as a planet, disguised as a moon. clever.
They didn't. Until Optimus contacted the UN through Alexis some 6 years later, the only people who knew about the existence of Cybertronians were the kids, Rad's parents (who didn't believe him until the mountain next to the city they were living got up and flew into space), a reporter whose evidence got slagged by Laserbeak, and a kid who was saved by Scavenger & Smokescreen.
Unicron has been dozens of different sizes throughout the franchise by this point. When in robot mode, he and his brother are supposed to be the same size.
Search up transformers armada the complete series on Amazon. It's legit. Made by ShoutFactory. I bought it. And I have it. I finished watching it. And I am currently watching the complete series of energon. Soon cybertron. So go ahead and buy it. It's is no joke. I'm actually serious. It has 8 discs. All episodes. And the complete series cases have epic art work on them.
First, because the movie had a way bigger budget. Second, this animation wasn't finished. Hasbro rushed the production of Armada, so many things were rushed and poorly animated. The Japanese version, Micron Densetsu, was aired in Japan after Armada, so the animators fixed a lot of errors and gave the show more polished animation.
I am a proud owner of this version of Unicron after waiting what feels like an eternity waiting for either my dad or my mom to get him. I own the original armada one not the repackaged universe one though I do plan on getting the same one to repaint into the God Of Extropy Unicron from Shattered Glass which is in g1 prototype colors.
Unicron looks pretty different in the movie and Armada. Other than that though he's pretty much the same. They elaborate more on his personality in Armada though.
There is no unicron in Transformers 5. its a completely different planet. As Michael Bay has many times stated that he doesnt want to use the character.
Shame, really, because with the awesome cinematography and grand scale that makes the bread and butter of Bayhem, I think a movie with Unicron would be freakin' awesome.
"It's like i'm staring in at the face of pure evil!" Me: Oh wow...seriously? Did you have to make an obvious comment? I mean he's called "The Dark God", "The Chaos Bringer", and the "Eater of Worlds". You think a omnipotent being with red skin, bloody horns, clothing made of screaming souls, and obvious murder hints all over his face would be called Princess Sparklepie, the Bringer of Happiness and Friendship.
It's all a matter of our generation and age. Whichever series we grew up with is normally our favourite. Being in my 30s it's understandable why I prefer the 1984 series.
George Smith bruhh i watched the 80's cartoon and i like because it the classic funny and awesome doesn't mean i think Armada is better than G1 or vise versa
Here he is just waking up after Rodimus Prime ended him in G1 and Starscreem screwed him over. Apparently this body is a bit groggy after a moon formed over him. Ironically he ate both moons of cybertron G1 and his head replaced them. Now here he is hiding as a moon.
The animation was definitely designed with the toy in mind. The 1986 unicron was movie only as I imagine they never intended to do a toy versions of that one.
Unicron vs the Death Star. Ever one on the Death Star should be running for there lives. Unicron vs Vader and the Emperor again they should run for there lives. :p
Unicron would destroy them. If he’s anything like primus, he can block attacks from planetary level opponents while the Death Star battle stations can’t
ugh.. no they werent. The idea was from G1 as well. They were the head masters and target masters, then the power masters. Mini robots that transformed to form the heads, power supplies and weapons of transformers.
Optimus: "Crap, we've gotta find some way to beat him!" Vegeta: "Just fyi, I had a *glowing* resume on *precisely* the kind of planet-decimating firepower you need here... I've also been dying to blow up another planet since I started living on Earth, and this is exactly what I need. This is a win for everybody if you'd just read my damn resume and sick me on this overgrown bucket of bolts you call Unicron."
Power Bacteria uhhh, not if you vaporize him. Which Vegeta can definitely do, I'm imagining. Different universes, I know - but Goku/Vegeta from the DBZ universe would be ridiculously OP against any transformer if integrated into this series.
Hmm, the evil eyes of Unicron tells me to leave a comment... ok, here it is; Excellent video with great scenes, nice editing and ut on my layer list. :) Now look at someone else. :p
@edward18517 The universe not the multiverse fun fact Megaverses are a collection of multiverses which are a collection of universes but they all exsist in side 1 omniverse.
@edward18517 Here is a cool fact about unicron, (going by the comics) he is not realy a giant robot god he is a god traped in a robot body or "shell" he has been set free in his tru form once though almoast destroying the transformer multiverse i found this out some days ago.
....because Armada takes place in a different universe than G1 does? The only shows that take place in G1's universe is G1-Beast Machines. Armada-Cybertron (or Energon depending on how you follow it) takes place in a seperate universe. The live action movies take place in their own universe, and Animated takes place in its own universe. The only characters that remain the same throughout them are Unicron and Primus (to an extent) as Unicron travels across universes to devour reality.
The Unicron trilogy has the most show accurate toys ever
Well... With FEW expections that weren't too great... Scavanger and Sideswipe.
I'm actually going to give that to Animated. Their toys are pretty show accurate, even with the stylized cartoon models
Cuz they designed the toys first
@@kinzdarell5447 yeah i know it. Just like beast wars
Car Robots were pretty show accurate as well.
The 80's unicron was much more ominous.
True, but I can appreciate the effort.
James Best jr. not really.

Indeed he was
His transformation is very spot on with the toy they made of him. You don't see that too often in Transformers toys
Gotta give props to the animators. This transformation is right up there with Unicron's original one from the movie.
I am not going to lie; this Unicron is more evil than g1
The transformation itself is gorgeous but Armada has very cheap looking animation outside of great moments like this.
Goes from actually good animation to generic anime kids from Gundam.
Yeah definitely
I’d say it’s actually better than the G1 version
except for the hands, that's how the instruction sheet tells us how to transform him.
And the wings, the instructions say to do the wings 2nd

Prime unicron is similar, he talks more but it doesn’t take away from the menace that he symbolizes. He actually backs up the threat that he poses
@@jakealter5504 🥰
Huh.
Which version of him was voiceless?
Oh never mind, stupid question. You meant this one.
Unicron does talk near the end of the series.
Unicron did talk here

The transformation sequence used up like 90% of this show's animation budget lmao
Unicron... Comes with 3 billion parts

Dank Starscream The second Death Star is half the size our moon
Unicron would eat the Death Star and Starkiller base for breakfast! _Edit_ *Unicron, autocorrect! UNICRON!*

Quick question, who are the parents of these kids that would let them go into deep space with Alien Robots to certain death?
i believe they never got permission, but all snuck out
Going off the events of Energon they have been gone from home for 15 or so years... I think their dinner(s) are cold now...

back when cartoon network was cool :(
How is the animation done by hand 20 years before this looks orders of magnitude better???
