I've always wondered, why make Unicron a tank? It just doesn't fit. If anything, it looks more like a Unicron Cultist. -- Hunter-113 00:38, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- Why not? Also, you try and sell a toy to a soccer mom that has the word "Cultist" on the label.
- I understand giving Unicron a new body so he would be less expensive and not just be a repaint of his Armada toy, but I just don't see Unicron as a Tank. Perhaps something else that symbolises hunger in some way. And I never meant that the Toy should've been named Unicron Cultist, I'm just saying the toy reminds me of it. -- Hunter-113 01:33, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- I dunno if it's a straight-forward tank, so much as it's a mechanical flesh-eating bug of some sort, what with the legs and mandibles, but with some tank-like features like treads and a turret on it. --ItsWalky 01:55, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

- Like Walky said while I was writing this (grr), the suggestion of spider-legs and mandibles makes me think of a predator... I could imagine that tank gobbling stuff up in some fashion.
- In fanficky terms, after I saw Call of the Primitives, I started to think of Uni as having been at one point the size of a regular TF, like the rest of Primacron's creations. He just had the capacity to ingest any kind of matter and add it to his own body-mass. I figured Primacron hadn't meant for that to be an unlimited ability, but once Unicron got started, there was no stopping him. Spidery-tank Uni fits that idea nicely, so I'm pretty keen to him.
