Unicron is also believed to represent the Anti-Spark (most likely a counterpart of theAllspark). WebUnicron was eventually defeated after Primus created the Thirteen Primes that were able to cast Unicron out into statis. It was Unicron's intent that these small robots would increase the ferocity of the Autobot/Decepticon war, allowing Unicron to feed off the hatred that the war fermented - but as a result of interference by human children, displaced in time from the 21st century, the Mini-Cons developed sentience, and fled Cybertron, crashing on Earth, where they lay dormant for a million years. Thus, he sided with Unicron against his creator and brethren, only to be sealed in a black hole alongside his master. (Only one of the other gods was ever named - the Chronarchitect. Though the Autobots come to Optimus Prime's aid, Megatron doesn't want anyone else to kill Optimus Prime and sides with them as he guides them to the Earth's core to stop Unicron before he completely awakens and destroys Earth. Starscream's ghost spun a lie that claimed Unicron had destroyed him (Unicron's planet mode was seen inStarscream's fabricated flashback), and when the mysterious alien race known as theVokdirectly communicated withMaximalleaderOptimus Primal, they searched his mind for an image that he would fear and respect, found Unicron and took the form of his head. With Megatron trapped in the rift, Unicron does not encounter the Decepticon leader, and therefore does not make theFaustian Pactto reformat him intoGalvatron. The first time the Primus/Unicron backstory appeared was in the UK comic continuity, from Unicron himself, in the story "The Legacy of Unicron! Is Unicron responsible for the resurrection of a rusted Optimus Prime into the evil purple-eyed guy we see in The Last Knight? Primus would stomp if he was at full power ( at a chunk of his power he crushed Emperor StarScream) and if not full power , he would probably still win ( it be similar to him vs Giant StarScream). As the four-part season one finale begins, an astrological alignment awakens Unicron from his slumber as Earth's weather patterns go out of control. After gathering the capsules, Unicron attempted to make Cybertron his new body, but was finally defeated by Maximal commanderBig Convoyand his Matrix Cannon. Shokaract thus dispatched two of his Heralds,AntagonyandCataclysm, to safeguard the Dark Essence, only for Antagony to be captured byMegatron'sPredaconsand Cataclysm to perish in battle with the Maximal hero Windrazor. Before the dawn of time, he is known as the bringer of chaos, lord of the undead and one of the main sources of evil in the entire universe and the very source of Dark Energon itself. This is the reason for the "errors" in the Cybertron animated series, as it is following a constantly reshaping universe. In an act of sacrifice, Primus lured Unicron from the Astral plane to the physical one, trapping them both within metallic planetoids. While he cheated death twice, hewas vanquished for good by a combined blast from Optimus and Megatron. We were blown away! When Unicron then learned to transform his planetary form even further, into a gigantic robot form, Primus adapted the idea to suit his own ends - rather than transforming his own body, he would create small beings that would be able to change their shape, like Unicron. Unicron's head was seen one last time as Primacron's new creation had crippled Cybertron. In cunning, however, he proved himself to be his brother's superior when he shifted their battle to the astral plane, and then back to the physical world once more, sacrificing most of his strength to manifest their essences within metallic planetoids, leaving them both trapped in the planet prison. Welcome to the Quantum Realm. The Autobots and Decepticons were able to destroy Unicron, but Cybertron was left in its transformed state and seemingly in the Sol system, as well as continuing to be dead and powerless. Optimus Prime came across the meteor and found Thunderwing, who revealed that he was a minion of Unicron and his mission was to destroy the Matrix. Some time later (Episode 81: "Ghost in the Machine"), the spark of deceased DecepticonStarscreamreactivated Unicron's head and entered into a bargain with him, performing three labors in exchange for the restoration of his body. Unicron wasn't harmed by the Big Bang, the very same one that created the Transformer multiverse + Considered to be superior to Primus in combat + Manage to get The Fallen to betray Primus and join him + Created the Min-Cons in Aurex, the universe of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family. Unicron is mentioned a number of times inTransformers: Prime The Game. VILENESS - 10: Entire planets perish in Unicron's path. Unicron is among the characters appearing in the 2004Transformersvideo game for thePlayStation 2. Following Unicron's consumption ofCybertron's two moons, Galvatron successfully obtained the Matrix fromUltra Magnus, believing he could use it to bring Unicron under his control. Events proceeded to play out basically as described above, though the role of the Light and Dark Gods would diminish with each subsequent retelling of the story, until the current version, in which Primus and Unicron are alone, and have a unique origin. The Fallen has become the most prominent of the Thirteen,jumping from the pages of comics to both animation (Robots In DisguiseandPrime Wars) andlive-action (Revenge of the Fallen), thoughthese later works tend to downplay if not omit his connection to Unicron. This page was last modified on 6 January 2023, at 05:52. Origin, UK series but carried back to most future Managed to get The Fallen to betray Primus and join him. [9]As Optimus Prime relates, Primus and the original Thirteen Primes defeated Unicron and sent his in-stasis body beyond Cybertron's orbit. Primus can use his moons. After their escape, Unicron comes acrossPredaking, who upon recognizing Megatron's body, viciously attacks Unicron in beast mode. However, he failed thanks to the combined efforts of Prime and Jack Darby and fell into a volcano. When Optimus Prime restores the spirit of Primus, Unicron senses it and awakens once more, this time in energy form. Who is Optimus Primal? In reference to Unicron's key role in these three series, Hasbro's head of Transformers,Aaron Archer, has collectively dubbed them "The Unicron Trilogy". During the battle, Dark Energon bled from his body and was eventually sealed away. Unshackled, Unicron went on a cosmic rampage, destroying all he found, with the end goal of consuming reality itself. As a result of these changes, the final showdown betweenOptimus PrimeandMegatrondoes not occur, and Prime does not die. Pam Grier reflects on her most iconic roles, from, Bay has called his final go-around with the characters. When the comic returned, rebranded asEnergon, these four had been transformed into new heralds of Unicron. Unicron is dangerously powerful. It is unfortunate how badly underestimated and downplayed he is. Unicron is superior to his brother, Primus. Hes If The Last Knight brings Unicron into live-action, the vocal performance better be on point. Unicron has been in a Transformers movie before: he was the big villain of the 1986 Transformers: The Movie animated feature. These Thirteen defeated Unicron and cast him into space. The Matrix was originally placed inside the hilt of the Star Saber, which was wielded by Prima, the very first Transformer created by Primus. Their first act was traveling to an alternate dimension where Unicron had destroyed Cybertron and retrieve that dimension's Galvatron. When Unicron then learned to transform his planetary form even further, into a gigantic robot form, Primus could also, but adapted the idea, and createdThe Thirteen, a group of robotic beings that possessed the ability to change shape, like Unicron. This is Primacron. Hes a vaguely simian humanoid alien that appeared in the third season of the 1980s Transformers cartoon. In this episode, it w The darkness particularly grew in Prima, whom Unicron had physically bitten, who had created a chart tracking which of the Primes were more similar to Primus and Unicron. His presence was first hinted at in the second "War Within" arc, where theFallenenlisted theChaosTrinity(Bludgeon,Bugly, andMindwipe) to capture a number of Transformers (Grimlock,Blitzwing,Jetfire, andHot Spot) for an arcane ritual to summon the Fallen's Master. WriterSimon Furmanrevealed that a future storyline of theEnergoncomic would have included another attack by Unicron, had the series continued. The first time we ever heard the Primus/Unicron backstory was in the UK comic continuity, from Unicron himself, in the story Legacy of Unicron, when he recounted it to Death's Head. Death's Head then aided Rodimus Prime, projecting his mind into Unicron's where they battle, until Unicron's head was destroyed by explosives, and his essence was sealed within the Matrix. This task led him to Earth, where he used the planet's Dark Energon to empower himself. Unicron would be a WMD created by the people of the planet Primacron to destroy another planet inhabited by people they have been at war with for millenia. Unicron dispatched a group of heralds to attack Cybertron and pave the way for his coming, including a Galvatron plucked from an alternate future. With Unicron's destruction inEnergon, the collapse of his body resulted in the creation of an enormousblack holewhich, if left unchecked, would consume and destroy everything. Along with Unicron, his twin brother Primus was created. In one such vision, Megatron glimpsed the shadowed face of Unicron himself, and claimed that it was as if he could hear Unicron's own thoughts. The most famous of these is Galvatron, the resurrected form of Megatron. The Chaos Bringer offered Megatron a new body in exchange for servitude faced with no other choice, Megatron agreed and was remade as Galvatron. Plunging himself into Unicron's maw and allowing Optimus to escape alive, Galvatron ended the hatred, and in a mighty flash, Unicron vanished without a trace although at the end of the series he was shown orbiting an unknown planet. And so Unicron went on to become the engine of destruction that menaced the universe in recent years. Through this disguise, Shockwave orchestrated the creation of Unicron by the Antillans, whose planet the Transformers had invaded. In the cartoon, Unicron was created by Primacron, an ancient mad scientist of similar size and shape to a monkey, who built him to wipe the universe clean of life for him. Unicron seized control of his body again for a new vessel and set out to rejoin with his Spark, but aPrimus-empowered Optimus Supreme engaged him in battle once more, and drew all of Unicron's consciousness out of Galvatron and sealed it within his own Spark. Unicron then brings Megatron back to life and upgrades his form, using it to hurtle through hyperspace toward Cybertron. For example, in one of the mini-comic books packed in with the later Armada toys, Unicron is indeed illustrated literally eating an asteroid or moon whole. TheArmadacomic established that its version of Unicron did not merely consume worlds and seek the destruction of the singular universe - it moved from universe to universe, throughout the entire multiverse, destroying entire realities and moving on to the next until all of causality and existence was completely obliterated. Amazingly, Unicron accomplished this task, wiping out all life, planets, stars and nebulae, even "the stuff of space itself" in the universe and leaving only nothingness and void. And at times, he can betoobig. As Unicron's planet mode is seen to be as large as Cybertron (if not larger) in the comics, this would suggest a diameter of 120,000+ km. Although Unicron had played a major role in the above-mentioned Japanese series, he had not been featured as a major player in American fiction for over a decade. However, his self-interestmeant hewas exiled from that faction as well. In one issue,Soundwavewas dispatched to Cybertron afterRamjetandNemesis Prime's failure.
