Transformers 3 Unicron?

Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura has been talking about the movie Transformers 3. From what he says, looks like the studios do intend to release the film in 2011 even if the timing isn't ideal for Director Michael Bay. Di Bonaventura can't imagine Transformers without Bay so I guess the studios will have to put a lot of cash on the table to change Bays' mind.

When asked about the possibility of introducing Unicron in the movie Transformers 3, he answered to IGN:

"Unicron worries me because it's so big that it dwarves emotion. It's so hard, because when you're working to that scale, it sort of becomes outside any kind of human reality you have. It's obviously a great character, and one that we're definitely going to talk about, but for me personally - and I'm not the only vote here - that one scares me. Because of its size, it becomes sort of impersonal when it gets to that scale. [...] And for me that worries me because I like the human characters."

Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura

Producer Lorenzo di Bonaventura has been also praising the Mini-Crons stating that they're really cool.

So the giant Unicron (who is of the size of planet) most likely won't show up in the movie Transformers 3. But we may have the Mini-Cons!

Giant Optimus at SM Megamall Cinema.

07.06.2009 - It could pass up as the real thing, but he looked like the Leader Class toy from the first movie. But all I can say is nice craftsmanship. This proves we can replicate these kinds of statues. Though not as handsome as the Bumblebee sighted in one of the car shows in United States.

But its good enough for fans who appreciates the movie to have equal opportunity to have a photo opportunity with the leader of the Autobots. Just don't get close to his feet he might step on you.

Optimus Prime can still be found in SM Megamall's cinema on the 3rd level.
