Jeezus no senses of humor
Unicron is mentioned in film one and may show up in the third.
Does this mean Unicron will be in another TF Movie?? Probably not, the first film has barely started, to be a third film the first must prove popular enough to warrant a second. If there were to be a third film it would not be released until at least 2010. This will not stop the rumours though.

Hasbro Inc. has laid off about 125 workers, mostly in Rhode Island, as the nation"s No. 2 toy maker concentrates on new toy technologies.
"The cuts in the toys, games, international and corporate divisions will give the company more flexibility in developing new products", Hasbro spokesman Wayne Charness said on Wednesday. About 90 people lost their jobs in Rhode Island, where the company is based.
Hasbro employed 6,900 people worldwide as of the end of 2003. The cuts come after years of restructuring at the company.
Both the toy industry and toy stores are struggling as children abandon traditional toys and games at an earlier age and video games bite into sales of dolls, trucks and other mainstays. Sales of traditional toys have fallen for three straight years.
Hasbro shares slipped 6 cents, or 0.3 percent, to close at $18.25 on the New York Stock Exchange

With their Galaxy Force Listings, e-Hobby also list the Galaxy Convoy Data files.
Megatron
By the mighty power, death tron troop great emperor who the dominant person of all outer space and the 繧オ繧、繝舌ヨ繝ュ繝ウ troop who if possible, me, the galaxy convoy is led confronts. When "the fourth tip/chip" of the various planets will be obtained, it continues to evolve the body of the self always. When adopting the power of all planets, he probably will confront before me as a true dominant person of all outer space.
Position: Destructive great emperor
Vector Prime - with sound gimmick
In order to rescue the saber tron star, exceeding space-time, the soldier of the ancient times when it appears.
The fact that the power "ignition" which power makes the transformer raise to explain power of the "fourth tip/chip" to us, transcends oneself is made to move was formed. That power which administers space-time probably becomes great power in order to rescue outer space.
Position: Dimensional supervisory member
