4. Is That Unicron?

The Transformers films have featured a lot of weird mechs, but they don't come much weirder than Unicron, aka the Lord of Chaos, aka the Planet Eater. He's an massive being who frequently takes the form of a planet (yes, an actual planet), but also has a more humanoid form. In order to sustain himself, he consumes planets, moons and stars, as he moves towards his ultimate goal of becoming the centre of infinite nothingness.

So fairly threatening, then. And it looks like he's going to show up in The Last Knight, as one shot shows a massive spherical object breaking apart as it approaches a moon, appearing to begin the process of absorbing or devouring.

If it is Unicron, how the hell ate the Autobots going to deal with him? Will he be the film's ultimate antagonist? I'd speculate the film may end in the tragic consumtpion of earth but we already know there's gonna be a Transformers 6...
