Save Unicron for part four or five. We need a Decepticon centered sequel, take the sequel to the dark side ala Empire Strikes Back
Agreed. I really want Megs back. I can't get enough of him and all his incarnation, minus the more recent series. Megatron was by far one of the greatest villians of all time in G1 and his Beast Wars counterpart was no joke either. I don;t know about you guys, but BW Megatron was almost more evil and insane than Galvatron himself, who was pretty ****ed up if you ask me.
Anywho, I think it should definitely be Decepticon centered. My thought idea is that with Megatron once again gone, Starscream assumes command of the Decepticons, much to the distress of those fiercly loyal to Megatron such as Soundwave, Scourge, etc. This causes alot of tension between the two factions of loyalists and Starscream's followers, leading to a large scale conflict that finds its way to earth, attracting the attention of Prime and the rest of the Autobots. Ultimately, Megatron is recovered by a team of Decepticons under Soundwave's orders. This could be the aircraft carrier character that was mentioned by the writers, teamed up with a submarine partner who locates Megatron's body, and the aircraft carrier recovers it. How they will revive him is anyone's guess, but please, please, please no Galvatron incarnations. Anywho, this should happen about midway through, and the reviving thing should be a lengthy process that Soundwave's troops work on for a god amount of time, finally bringing Megatron's spark back from the matrix and fully restoring him to life late in the movie. During all this time, the Autobots are fighting to keep both factions of the Decepticons from purging the earth's energon sources completely, which will have some convienent plot device to explain why energon is essential to earth's survival. Ultimately, once Megatron is revived, he goes on a rampage looking for Prime. The "brother" thing should be explored deeply in all this. I mean, very deeply. An epic, long duel ensues between Megatron and Prime, not for rule of earth vs. freedom, not for the protection of the energon. This battle should be a very personal one, which make for it to be all the more epic and deep. The battle should almost result in Megatron killing Prime, only to be interrupted by Starscream's Seekers, led by Starscream himself, attacking the two combatants, resulting in Starscream learning of Megatron's second return. Starscream, however, is not shaken by the return of his former commander, and instead uses the fight as an opportunity to begin his campaign for supreme rule over the Decepticons. Prime is rescued by some Autobots. Megatron could have two options in this scenario. Either the writers could have him retaliate, destroying the Seekers, and concluding the film with a climactic final showdown between Starscream and Megatron, and by climactic I mean that it needs to be the most jaw dropping, fangasmic, ultimate battle ever witnessed (that is, until the true final battle betweem Megatron and Prime). Who emerges victorious is anyone's guess. My money is on Megatron, simply because killing him for the second time in a row would be rather unintelligent and irritating.
Whew... kinda got a bit carried away there, lol.
