nearly finished with Armada and lowkey WHY is Unicron so got damb horrifying. whyd they have to do that and how did they do it so WELL
#g1's portrayal made it so you could understand just how limitless and powerful and (to tfs especially) incomprehesible he is#but ARMADA made it physically impossible for this giant robot to be a clearly cut giant robot#and in doing so really pushed the notion that Unicron is still to some extent mechanical but so completely Other from cybertronians#he's organic he's inorganic he's the moon he's omnipresent he can summon spatial anomalies he has hallways that look like arteries#(spoilers from here on out) he both is and isn't Sideways like how Jesus both is and isn't God which I think fucked with me the most#because when Sideways told Thrust: 'those who serve [Unicron] will be rewarded and those who stand against him will know his wrath' or smth#in the end the only person who was 'rewarded' was Sideways. who was Unicron anyway#Unicron was never going to reward anyone. and those who stand and fight only make him stronger BY fighting.#g1 gave us Unicron the Unfathomable but Armada gave us Unicron the Inevitable. Unicron the Insurmountable#and THAT is why Armada Unicron scares the piss out of me. g1 Unicron was a transformer god but Armada Unicron is a GOD god and they SHOW it#the kind of self-serving omnipotent force of chaos and destruction and death that haunts the narrative from the very beginning#and for a kids' show they pull it off SCARILY WELL#maybe that's another part of it. the entire show is so obviously curated towards toy sales EXCEPT how they handle Unicron#and that also works to make him feel distinct and unfathomable. in a meta sort of way. i like that
