Although the real Unicron did not make any appearances in 1996's CGI animated series,Beast Wars, his legend held strong. His body in this universe obliterated, Unicron moved on to another dimension, to ravage other worlds, and make further attempts on Cybertrons throughout the multiverse. They distracted him long enough for the Mini-Cons to access the power of theMini-ConMatrix and destroy the Chaos-Bringer. Thus, Megatron becameGalvatron, and began to carry out his assigned task, although he was loath to do so. This timeline's version of Galvatron was pulled back to 1990 by Hook, Line and Sinker and press-ganged into Unicron's service, but, like his predecessors, turned on his master by forcing Emirate Xaaron to awaken Primus in hopes of destroying Unicron. Scourgelocated it, but was shot in the back and deactivated by Shockwave, who used analysis of his body to create theTriple Changers. It would eventually be found by a lowly Predacon known as the Hunter, who fashioned a container for it that he dubbed the Decepticon Matrix of Conquest. After freeing Unicron's captives, the Chaos-Bringer gathered an army of his own, dubbed "the Decepticons", to fight against Primus, which was led byRazorclaw, an alternate version ofTigerhawk, and consisted of alternate versions ofObsidian,Tankor, andReptilion. 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. With the aid of other Transformers from across time and space, the Covenant succeeded in defeating Shokaract, and the Dark Essence of Unicron was drawn back into time, erasing Shokaract's timeline. However, during his battle with Optimus Supreme, who had grown to Unicron's size, Unicron demonstrates that he had enough power to simply destroy a planet completely without consuming it. However, several references were made to consumption, so he may indeed perform the action. WebTo fight Unicron's unprecedented might, Primus created "the Thirteen," a group of transforming robots that predated the Transformers and served as protectors of the light. In Optimus Prime's later view, Unicron had likely begun to transcend physical form. Though Optimus Prime attempted to plea for the humans who evolved on Earth, Unicron dismisses them as parasites with the intent to slaughter them once finished with Optimus Prime. Unicron is able to possess and take over others from his world, too, thereby manipulating both Autobots and Decepticons to his will. Before the Primus/Unicron mythos reached its present form it went through several distinct versions in the Marvel Generation 1 comics and elsewhere. Until, that is, Primus created the Thirteen. Unicron was created near the beginning of the universe by the diminutive genius known asPrimacron, who intended for him to devour all life in the universe, leaving a blank slate that Primacron could use as he saw fit. RELATED:Transformers: 5 Of The Most Effective Decepticons (& 5 Of The Most Useless). The version recounted above is the current iteration, which has slowly solidified across a wide swath of media (beginning around the time ofTransformers: Armada). 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". The third time the story was told was also in the United States Marvel series, this time by Primus, when he gathered all his children together to prepare for Unicron's coming. Primus, in most continuities, is his twin brother, the good yin to Unicron's evil yang. Alpha Q showed signs of rebelling against Unicron, and Prime prepared to fight back from inside Unicron. The creator of Primus and Unicron is known as The One (I think this is the right image) The One is pretty much The One Above All of the Transformer Unicron's head was seen one last time as Primacron's new creation had crippled Cybertron. It raised a foot to crush Optimus, only for Megatron to lend a hand by blasting its head off. Round 2: Primus has assistance from the Autobots of his universe. The voice cast includes Peter Cullen as Optimus Prime and John Goodman (10 Cloverfield Lane) as Hound. WebThe One existed before time itself, witness to the birth of the universe. All Spark Day, Several years after Unicron was sealed away, Megatronus was freed from his imprisonment and brought to Earth, intending to use his spark fuser to combine the remnants of the Chaos Bringer's Anti-spark in Earth's core with the AllSpark, which would destroy both Earth and Cybertron. Transformers: The Last Knight just launched a big trailer that showcases everything you'd expect from a Michael Bay movie (big explosions, fast action, flashy eye candy) - with a little bit of Transformers lore along with it. Otherwise, he's gonna keep on eatin'. On the Edge of Extinction! Round 1: Both are in robot form. 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. Through the events of the story, Optimus Prime learns that the Matrix can destroy Unicron, and he andUltra Magnuslaunch an assault on the giant. The series opened with a disembodiedMagmatron, trapped in temporal limbo byRazorbeastat the end ofThe Gathering, watching the annihilation of the future Cybertron by a new version of Shokaract and Unicron. To explore the fledgling universe, he created the astral being known as Unicron, and then subdivided him, creating his twin, Primus. Primus is the creator of all Transformers, Autobots and Decepticons, and loves them as his children; as a consumer of worlds, Unicron doesn't ally himself with anyone - certainly not the Decepticons. Meet the planet-sized evil alien robot known as Unicron. Created by Floro Dery, he was introduced in the 1986 animated film The Transformers: The Movie[4] and appeared in Atari's 2003 Transformers video game. The first of the Thirteen to appear in person was the Fallen. Tarantulas connection to Unicron exemplifies how fans can shape a works text through engagement. With Megatron trapped in the rift, Unicron does not encounter the Decepticon leader, and therefore does not make theFaustian Pactto reformat him intoGalvatron. By Kofi Outlaw The cast of Transformers: The Last Knight features Mark Wahlberg (Planet of the Apes) as Cade Yeager, Isabela Moner (100 Things To Do Before High School) as Izabella, Josh Duhamel (Life as We Know It) as Lieutenant Colonel William Lennox, John Turturro (The Big Lebowski) as Seymour Simmons, and Tyrese Gibson (Furious 7) as Robert Epps, as well as Jerrod Carmichael (Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising), Anthony Hopkins (Thor: The Dark World). In order to re-energise himself, Unicron implanted some of his own cells within Cybertron, where they grew and "hatched", giving birth to the diminutive race of robots called theMini-Cons. The second time the story was told was in the US book by the Keeper, an ancient mechanoid who guarded Primus' head at the center of Cybertron. Among the jettisoned is Megatron, who meets both his salvation and doom when he comes face-to-face with Unicron. Unicron is among the characters appearing in the 2004Transformersvideo game for thePlayStation 2. Over time, matter gravitated towards Unicron's fallen form, eventually forming a planet which found an orbit around a distant star. A new Unicron figure was released at the end of theCybertrontoy line as a Deluxe-class figure with a tank-like alternate mode. When Unicron eventually attacked Cybertron in the midst of the chaos caused by a Mini-Con civil war,Sentinel MaximusandOmega Primefought him off with the help of their allies. However, he failed thanks to the combined efforts of Prime and Jack Darby and fell into a volcano. Subsequently Unicron sent hisHeralds- alternates of the Generation 1 versions ofGalvatron,Scourge,Thunderwing,Dirge, andBludgeon- ahead to destroy those who could oppose him (includingMegatron) and capture the Mini-Con Matrix. Megatron presented himself as Unicron's herald and servant, an enemy of the Primes, but Unicron dismissed the Decepticon leader. WebBefore entering a voluntary system's shutdown, Primus created the Matrix of Leadership to serve as a conduit of his essence in order to guide the transformers against Unicron. Once they had done so, a trio of monstrous Transformers called the Blentrons (Elphaorpha,Latolata, Drancron) revealed themselves, stealing the capturedAngolmois. He tosses theDead Matrixinto the black hole, releasing Unicron's spark which quickly overtakes a nearby world, converting its inhabitants into savage maniacs. 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. This incarnation of Unicron was never shown to physically consume planets in the same manner as his G1 predecessor, only to blast and absorb the remains. However, he was thwarted whenCosmosandFlinttraveled through his mouth into his body bearing the metal-eating spores of Cobra-La. Since multiversal singularities are no longer a thing in the transformers mythos, who do you think would win in a fight? Taking the nameShokaract, this villain seems to have become one with Unicron himself, with the pair of them laying waste to Shokaract's Cybertron and the rest of the universe. Battlegrounds, Part 2, Eons ago Unicron created Thunderwing to serve him and destroy the Matrix of Leadership. Throughout Energon, Starscream was brainwashed to be a After a short and fierce battle, Unicron proves to be stronger than Predaking and knocks him unconscious, then proceeds to read his mind, finding that Predacon remains will make a perfect legion for his destruction of Cybertron and Primus. When the war on this planet between the forces of Maximal leaderLio ConvoyandPredaconleaderGalvatron(a different individual bearing the same name as Unicron's original creation) culminated in the explosion of Galvatron'sNemesisbattle fortress, the resultant energy surge revived Unicron's consciousness. In the series climax,the Mini-Cons joinedwith the Autobots and Decepticons todefend Cybertron from Unicron. Primacron The first origin given for Unicron was given in Season 3 of The Transformers cartoon, years before Simon Furman came up with Primus. However he failed thanks to the combined efforts of Prime andJack Darbyand fell into a volcano. Though they all tried to ignore it, Alpha Trion later reflected that by doing so, they gave the darkness fertile ground to grow in. In this timeline, Unicron had succeeded in consuming Cybertron in the year 2005, and Galvatron and the Decepticons ruled Earth. At the end of the arcCobraoperativeDoctor Mindbenderwould meet with the cultCobra-Laand discover they had allied themselves with Unicron. Once Megatronus Prime, he wasfascinated with destruction and entropy. The comic states that Primus's chosen task in Energon was to imprison and burn away Unicron's disembodied spark within a fledgling sun. The Decepticons may be the most frequent antagonists in theTransformers franchise, but there is often an even greater evil lurking in the shadows: The Chaos Bringer, Unicron. Theconcept of Thirteen originalTransformers created by Primus to aid him against Unicron has become a staple of the franchise in recent years. Then, when they had reached a sufficient technological level to serve as slaves for Unicron's inner workings, the creatures would call Unicron. With quiet, subconscious nudgings, Unicron led Megatron to a massive reservoir of "Super Energon" beneath Cybertron's surface, which transformed him into Galvatron upon his first exposure. Unicron was defeated in his attempt to destroy Cybertron very early in its history, but emanations of his presence remained and were gathered and stored onTrypticonStation. It was with this act of sacrifice that Primus hoped to contain Unicron's evil forever. Unicron awoke to find himself surrounded by another universe, and simply began to destroy it again. 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. A worried Starscream referred to Unicron as a legendary "destroyer", and called his blood the "Anti-Spark" as well. Since Transformers: Age of Extinction kind of already blew the whole Galvatron storyline, Unicron's Four Horsemen would be more likely for The Last Knight. Coming to Earth midway throughArmada, he took Starscream's place as Megatron's first lieutenant, yet still craved more power. 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. This lead to a massive battle between the two, where one of the Thirteen betrayed the others, and Unicron and said Prime, now forever known as the Fallen, vanished into a black hole. Thus, he sided with Unicron against his creator and brethren, only to be sealed in a black hole alongside his master. In Episode 16 ofBeast Machines, Rattrap called Megatron's floating head a tribute to Unicron. WebHowever, if we go by the lore, both Primus and Unicron were created by The One; the Omnipotent God of Transformers: The One created these two to create a balance of We spoke of and anticipated this figure once we ordered it from Haslab. (Sounds like an ode to the Death Star, perhaps?) In theTransformers: Cybertroncomics, the tank version of Unicron is only the same size as an average Transformer, and is shorter than the AutobotsSentinel MaximusandOmega Prime, whom he fought. Arms Micron Gaia Armor bio, Rescue Force Sigma-17 was sufficiently aware of Unicron for Heatwave to remark that Boulder's throwing skills would be insufficient to hit the backside of Unicron with a lobbing ball. Unlike hisDecepticon counterpart fromG1, this Thunderwing was a creation of Unicron, meant to seek out and destroy the Matrix of Leadership. From there, the trio served as lieutenants of this alternate Galvatron (Galvatron II), but when he made his move to overthrow Unicron, he destroyed Line & Sinker. WebPrimus is a living planet and deity-entity in the fictional Transformers universe who fought against the Chaos-Bringer Unicron. Out of Time! When Galvatron showed any signs of opposition to Unicron's will, Unicron inflicted agonizing torture on his servant, even from a great distance, to coerce him into obedience. The Thirteen were Primus' soldiers in his war with Unicron, which came to its seeming end during a climactic battle in which one of the Thirteen, who would forever be known as The Fallen, betrayed Primus and became an acolyte of Unicron. Upon finding the Dark Energon, Megatron merged it with his spark and eventually the very core of Cybertron. InThe Transformers: The Movie, Unicron was voiced byOrson Welles. 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. Although Unicron himself did not appear again, his origin in the animated series was later revealed. Unicron is mentioned a number of times inTransformers: Prime The Game. In 2010, however, Unicron attempted this again and succeeded, controlling Rodimus's body and reshaping it into his own image, before being defeated by Rodimus's own force of will. Having transcended physical form, Unicron begins to awaken as he berates Megatron for thinking of being his servant. Unaware of his Heralds' failure, Unicron now threatened to destroy Prime, but the Mini-Cons and Jetfire managed to rescue Prime, with the power of the Mini-Con Matrix upgrading them and combining them into theirPowerlinkedmode. It is suggested, in fact, that the two brothers embodied the basic concepts of realitygood and evil, order and chaosand that their continued existence is necessary for the stability of the multiverse itself. Cyclonus,Scourgeand the bounty hunter,Death's Head, also fell prey to him, and he used them to exacerbate the stalemated war on Cybertron to keep the Autobots busy, so that they would not learn of his impending resurrection. The most famous of these is Galvatron, the resurrected form of Megatron. Per Unicron's telling of events, he was a primal force of evil at the dawn of the universe, who led a legion of Dark Gods against his mortal foe, Primus, Lord of the Light Gods. [citation needed]In this version of events, Unicron and Primus were again twin heralds, giant metal planetoids created by the "One", who were sent to explore the universe. He was forced to employ servants to do his bidding: Alpha Q and theTerrorcons, who were disgruntled former Decepticons upgraded by Unicron in return for harvesting enough Energon to repower him.
