from The MSJ, who adds: "Note that the Zardoz ones are from a sequence at the start of the movie, while the Transformers ones (going in the opposite direction) are from a sequence at the end of that movie. Both are also dealers of death and destruction in their respective movies, but while Zardoz is 'all-powerful' Unicron has been severely reduced in power. Zardoz presented himself as god, while Unicron was regarded to be the Transformers' equivalent of Satan."

I'm late to the party on this one, but Prime is probably the most disturbingly violent hero I've seen in a mainstream movie.
