No you can't because I'm calling your bullshit (This is now my superpower. I am Anti-Bullshitman). No Protego or shield charm has stopped a significant physical attack. Ever. No shield or Protego, therefore, will be able to stop Unicron from Transforming and punching the planet with a fist roughly the size and mass of America at beyond hypersonic speeds. The wizards are pwned.
If you wish to disagree, post videograthic proof of magical shieldings strength while doing so. Same for if you try to say that the wizards can set up multiple layers of protection. If not, admit defeat.

It's quite simple:
If breaking the shield charms were as easy as applying enough physical force, all a death eater would have to do is cast engorgio on a pebble, several times, as it falls towards the shields. An Island sized pebble should be more than enough force, right? It would also crush a great deal of their enemies, to boot.
This is part of the reason that applying the no-limits fallacy to the shields is actually a limits fallacy: there are plenty of ways to apply absurd amounts of force to the shields. If it were that easy, any of the Death Eaters could do so. Hell, even a first year student has enough know-how to do so: engorgio is a very simple spell.
However, there IS a weakness to those shields and the weakness is very simply this: very powerful counter-shield magics.
Okay, what about the problem of Unicron's mass clashing with Earth's gravity well.. As Unicron consumes, gravity breaks down and chunks of land/crust just fly up are pulled towards Unicron and are destroyed eaten as Unicron digs in further into the planet. He uses tractor beams too in this process...
Whats to stop the bit of land that Hogwarts is on being released from the earth's mass like this, protego intact, into orbit...?
'Cause unless those wizards got any "surviving space/vacuum/absolute zero/radiation shields" feats I dont know about, that would seem to indicate huge TF win. TFs aren't bothered by the harshness of life in space, it would seem. 😛
Bombshell could feasibly command Voldemort of some other dark wizards to get on that dark magic shit, effectively doing the old Kirk sneakily ordering Reliant's shields down via communication between the ships consoles.
Revenge is a dish best served cold... and it is very cold in spacccccce.
And Its a fair old bet that Unicron picked up reruns of Wrath of Khan on his many TVs from our expelled radio/TV signals as he got within 20 lightyears of our vicinity and will know this strategy.
As for Harry: "Hes dead, Jim".
(Especially with the protego shield is tested against reentry.)
