Unicron/Generation 1

2018-04-26T02:47:58Z

Anicomicgeek: Moving Prime Wars version here.

{{factions|unicron|decepticon}}
{{suite}}
[[File:IDW Unicron Alex Milne.jpg|upright=2|thumb|I usually don't look nearly as cool as this.]]
A '''Unicron''' or lots of Unicrons did lots of stuff in the [[Primax]] universal cluster. It's not all very clear.

==Generation 1 cartoon continuity==
===''The Transformers'' cartoon===
{{voiceactor|[[Orson Welles]] (English, ''The Movie''), [[Roger C. Carmel]] (English), [[Toshio Ishii]] (Japanese), [[Mizuho Suzuki]] (Japanese, ''The Movie'')|[[Chen Chun]] (Chinese, ''The Movie''), [[Zhan Che]] (Chinese), [[Jean-Claude Michel]] (French, ''The Movie''), [[Manfred Schmidt]] (German, "Ghost in the Machine"), [[Thomas Rau]] (German, "Grimlocks New Brain"), [[Werner Abrolat]] (German, ''The Movie'' TV Dub), [[Thomas Albus]] (German, ''Generation 2'' "Ghost in the Machine"), [[Guillermo Romano]] (Latin-American Spanish), [[Garcia Neto]] (Brazilian Portuguese), [[János Bácskai]] (Hungarian, Second Movie Dub)}}
[[File:Unicroncall.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|So anyway, in this one continuity I'm built by a monkey. Sorry.]]
Unicron was constructed by the ancient genius known as [[Primacron]] at the dawn of the universe. Primacron had hoped that Unicron would scour the galaxy clean of life, leaving a blank slate for him to experiment upon, but naturally, Unicron had no desire to be the servant of another, and turned on Primacron, badly wounding him and his [[Oracle (G1)|assistant]], and setting out into the depths of space. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

[[File:TFTM Unicron Lithone.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|I see you down there!]]
In the year [[2005]], Unicron made his most famous attack upon Cybertron. While heading towards the planet, he consumed the small world of [[Lithone (planet)|Lithone]], making it perfectly clear how great of a threat he was to the entire universe. As he continued on his way, Unicron's powers allowed him to become aware of the death of [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]], who handed the [[Matrix of Leadership]] to [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]] just before dying, which angered him tremendously. He then came upon the bodies of several wounded and dying Decepticons, who had been dumped into space following a [[Battle of Autobot City|recent battle]] on Earth. He extended a proposition to the Decepticons' leader, [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]], offering to rebuild his body and those of his troops in exchange for their destruction of the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. Tortured into accepting, Megatron was transformed into [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]], and his followers became [[Cyclonus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Cyclonus]], [[Scourge (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Scourge]], and the [[Sweep (G1)|Sweeps]].

[[File:TFTM Unicron smashes cybertron.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.25|Unicron smash!]]
While Galvatron set about reclaiming leadership of the Decepticons, Unicron arrived at Cybertron, and proceeded to consume the planet's two moons. Outraged that Unicron would do this to a planet that he viewed as his, Galvatron found himself the victim of mental torture by his creator, and ordered to Earth to complete the task given him. The ensuing chase finally climaxed in a showdown on the [[Junkion (planet)|planet of Junk]], where Galvatron seized the Matrix and returned to Unicron, only to reveal that he intended to use the talisman to make Unicron his slave. Amused by his pawn's arrogance, Unicron transformed into his [[Scale|gigantic]] [[robot mode]] and ate Galvatron. Unicron then tore into Cybertron, as [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] and the rest of the Decepticons on the planet fought back, to little effect. Unicron swallowed many spaceships, and one, which contained the young Autobot [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] and his comrades, crashed through Unicron's eye. Hot Rod and Galvatron battled deep inside Unicron, and ultimately, Hot Rod was able to retake the Matrix from the Decepticon. Transformed by its power into Rodimus Prime, he defeated Galvatron and opened the Matrix inside Unicron, destroying his body from within.

Unicron's head was blown clear during his death throes, and became caught in Cybertron's gravity, turning it into a new moon for the planet — a grisly testament to the satellites he had destroyed. {{Storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}}
{{note|Unicron’s involvement in these events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the comic mini-series “[[Transformers: The Animated Movie]],” the storybook “[[Transformers the Movie (Ladybird adaptation)|Transformers the Movie]]” and the "Special Edition The Transformers: The Movie extra page" of "[[Transformers: The Ultimate Pop-Up Universe]]."}}

[[File:Unicron head orbit.jpg|right|thumb|Incoming message from the [[Grand Mal|Big, Giant Head]]!]]
In the year [[2006]], Cyclonus, Scourge and the Sweeps visited Unicron's head, seeking to locate Galvatron, who had been hurled into space at the conclusion of his battle with Rodimus Prime. After accessing the remaining databanks and replaying footage of the final battle, Cyclonus extrapolated Galvatron's trajectory and current location. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}}

On the planet home to the monster known as [[Chaos (alien)|Chaos]], [[Astrotrain (G1)|Astrotrain]] proclaimed that Galvatron would be "more famous in history than Unicron" once Galvatron destroyed Cybertron with his newly-built death crystal cannon. {{storylink|Chaos (episode)|Chaos}}

[[File:GhostMachine Unicron starscream jumpers.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|left|Unicron's glad he got that Triple-A membership.]]
Later, the ghost of the deceased Decepticon [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] reactivated Unicron's head in order to make a bargain with him; in exchange for Unicron restoring his body, Starscream would recreate Unicron's. Stealing new optic circuits and a transformation cog for Unicron from [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] and [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]], Starscream was then directed to connect Unicron's head to Cybertron, so that the planet could become his new body. Starscream initially attempted to do this by using Trypticon's body, but Trypticon was deactivated by the Decepticons. Unicron restored Starscream's body so that he could finish the task, but Starscream (somewhat predictably, being Starscream) double-crossed Unicron and refused to complete the necessary connections. Just then, explosives set by the Autobots were detonated, hurling Unicron's head off the planet, beyond its gravity, and out into space. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (G1)|Ghost in the Machine}}

Seeking a supply of the dangerous particles known as [[anti-electron]]s, Galvatron and the Decepticons traveled to Unicron's head, only to come under attack from the defenses of the barely-aware giant. Also present was the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]], [[Grimlock (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Grimlock]], who used components from Unicron's head to create the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] to fight Galvatron's forces. The Technobot [[Strafe (G1)|Strafe]] disconnected enough of Unicron's internal mechanisms to deactivate his systems, apparently killing the evil giant. {{storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}}

While a much older Primacron mused about how his new creation, [[Tornedron]], would succeed where "the other" had failed, the giant, damaged head of Unicron was visible floating along in the depths of space, where it had apparently faded to a dull grey. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

===Japanese cartoon continuity===
====''Legends'' comic====
Unicron knew the Matrix built into the [[Oracle (G1)|Oracle]] by Primacron was the one thing that could defeat him, so upon rebelling against his creator, his first act was to destroy the Oracle in an attempt to eliminate it. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Grand Maximus)|Bonus Edition Vol. EX}}

====Wars manga====
Unicron took notice when [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Hot Rod]] and [[Dark Hot Rod]] were merged into one being. {{storylink|Rodimus Wars}}

====''Story of Binaltech''====
Due to the temporal machinations of a [[Ravage (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ravage]] with knowledge of the future, in one timeline Unicron met with Autobot troops when he attacked Cybertron, instead of Decepticons. He nonetheless destroyed many Cybertronians and devoured one of Cybertron's moons before Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus left to confront the evil planet with the power of the Matrix. {{storylink|Darkest Hour (prose)|Darkest Hour}} Optimus was badly damaged during the journey to Unicron, leaving Ultra Magnus to infiltrate the titan's body alone. Though Ultra Magnus had not been chosen by the Matrix, he pleaded his case to the ancient artifact, and was allowed to unleash its power to destroy Unicron's body. {{storylink|Binal Time}}

====''Kiss Players''/''Teletraan Go! Go!''====
[[File:TGGUni1.jpg|thumb|Bwah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha]]
Following his destruction in 2005, Unicron's [[Angolmois|lifeforce]] was scattered across time and space, fragmented and parasitized into Autobot and [[Maximal]] leaders throughout history. In 2007, three of his servants, the [[Sparkbot]]s, sought to recreate their master, and tricked the human singing group, the [[Kiss Players (singing group)|Kiss Players]]—[[Marissa Faireborn]], [[Atari Hitotonari]], and [[Shaoshao Li]]—into helping them in their task by telling them that they were gathering the fragments of the so-called "Allspark".

[[File:TGGUni2.jpg|thumb|left|Oh god ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha]]
[[Primus]] was forced to take action to stop their mission, appearing as a giant golden hand to steal away the energy fragments before the Sparkbots could collect them, but eventually, the evil trio collected enough to accomplish their dire task. Fleeing back in time to [[Earth]]'s prehistoric past, they unleashed the energy and Unicron began to form around them. Following the Sparkbots back to the past, Primus unleashed the full firepower of his mobile battle platform's cannon, sealing Unicron's energy and the Sparkbots deep within the planet. He then created the mighty [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Brave Maximus]] to serve as a guardian and ensure that the evil being was never again reborn. {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #51}}

Unfortunately for everyone except Unicron, Brave Maximus would go on to leave the Earth in 2007, leaving the chaos-bringer's life-force unguarded. {{storylink|Sparkbots Volume 5}} {{storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players radio drama #39}}

====''Masterpiece'' toy bios====
[[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Nemesis Prime]] wore the Decepticon badge but in reality was loyal only to Unicron, seeking to bring about his creator's return. {{storylink|Nemesis Prime (G1)#Masterpiece|''Masterpiece'' Black Convoy toy bio}}

====''Unite Warriors''====
[[File:UnicronsRemains-GrandGalvatronChapter.jpg|thumb|upright=2.3]]
In [[2021]], [[Galvatron II|Galvatron]]'s ghost possessed [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]], ordering him to take him to Unicron. The pair approached Unicron's remains, sealed away in the [[Triple Z Point]], so that they could build a new body from the god's carcass. However Unicron was still conscious and far from powerless. He struck a deal with the two [[Decepticon]]s; Unicron would reach out throughout the multiverse and pluck from their realities several 'bots who shared Galvatron's lust for revenge. Together, they would form a new "[[Grand Galvatron]]" body for the Decepticon leader, and leave Unicron's own body untouched. Galvatron agreed to Unicron's terms, and [[Roller (G1)|Roller]], [[Thrust (Armada)|Thrust]], and [[Breakdown (WFC)|War Breakdown]] were brought to their universe. [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]]'s ghost also turned up, and Unicron granted him a partial corporeal body to form the last component of Galvatron's new form. Unicron then ordered those before him to go out and conquer Cybertron in his name, but Galvatron was already scheming to betray his benefactor as he took off into space. {{storylink|Grand Galvatron Chapter}}

[[File:BaldigusChapter2 UnicronPlanetBody.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
Through Thrust, [[Trickdiamond]] contacted Unicron to strike a deal, agreeing to help him conquer Cybertron. {{storylink|Megatronia Chapter}} Before making his move, Unicron reached through time itself and recruited the [[Commando (RID)|Combatrons]] from the distant future to serve him. He reformatted his new troops into new bodies, then had his head travel back to Cybertron where Thrust and Trickdiamond provided him with the [[joint energon]] he needed to combine with the planet itself. As he began to transform Cybertron into his new body, Unicron took out Galvatron, announcing that he'd expected his betrayal and also that he would go on to destroy all Transformers, undoing the Combatrons' future. The angered Combatrons turned on him in the form of [[Ruination (RID)|Baldigus]], but Unicron pacified them by summoning his Matrix Hunter minion, [[Grand Scourge]], who tricked Baldigus with his resemblance to [[Scourge (RID)|Black Convoy]]. {{storylink|Baldigus Chapter, Part One}}

As Unicron came closer to completely taking over Cybertron, cracks in space-time began to appear because of the many dimension-hoppers and time-travelers he'd brought over, forcing the Autobots and Decepticons to team up to defeat him and undo the cracks. While he was distracted by an attack from several combiners, Unicron's head was ripped out of Cybertron by Baldigus and thrown into space, where a barrage from the combiners and a mighty punch from Optimus Prime and Roller sent him flying back to the Triple Z Point. {{storylink|Baldigus Chapter, Part Two}}
{{-}}

====''The Battlestars''====
[[File:DarkNovaCron1.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|left|Dark Nova Diet Soda.]]
Somewhere beyond the year [[2025]], the Ultimate Emperor [[Dark Nova]] seized command of the Decepticons. The spectral entity was described as appearing "very much like Unicron", though further details on his origin had never been divulged. {{storylink|Generation 1 cartoon timeline (Japan)/src#After 2025|Japanese Generation 1 timeline}}

====''Beast Wars'' cartoon====
:''See [[#Beast Wars cartoon 2|#Beast Wars cartoon]]''

====Yokohama Decepticon Secret Base====
[[File:Yokohama Unicron Tarantulas.jpg|thumb|upright=0.7]]
[[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] was an agent of Unicron, and worked on his behalf to form a plot that would result in the destruction of the [[Transformers Expo]] in [[2014]]. [[Doctor Arkeville]] was also likely influenced by Unicron into producing [[Yokohama Convoy|Nemesis Prime]], who would serve as the vessel for the [[Dark Energon]] that would destroy the Expo. However, the plan ultimately failed thanks to Nemesis Prime's inherent sense of justice. In the end, though, Doctor Arkeville still stood as a subject of Unicron. {{storylink|Yokohama Decepticon Secret Base}}
{{-}}

====''Beast Wars II'' cartoon====
At some point in the far future, human beings discovered Unicron's lifeforce within the Earth, and attempted to harness it for their own means. This resulted in the devastation of the planet Earth, reducing it to a ruin, {{storylink|Emissary of the Fourth Planet}} but the fame of this "mysterious energy" that had been called "[[Angolmois|Angolmois energy]]" was far-reaching, and eventually, tens of thousands of years after the end of the Great War between the Autobots and Decepticons, the Predacon leader [[Galvatron (BWII)|Galvatron]] attempted to harvest it for himself. {{storylink|The New Forces Arrive!}} Using his artificial planet, [[Nemesis (BWII)|Nemesis]], he sucked a large amount of the Angolmois energy out of the planet and into the vessel. However, after the interference of [[Lio Convoy]] and [[Lio Junior]], all of the stolen Angolmois energy was sealed into capsules and ejected from Nemesis as it self-destructed. {{storylink|Farewell! Lio Convoy}}

====''Beast Wars Neo'' cartoon====
{{voiceactor|[[Tetsuo Komura]] (Japanese)}}
[[File:BeastWarsNeoUnicron.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.6]][[File:BWNeo Unicron.JPG|thumb|300px|If you wanted to be pink, Unicron, you could've just possessed Arcee.]]
Teams of Maximals and Predacons, led by [[Big Convoy]] and [[Magmatron]] respectively, then raced to collect the Angolmois capsules, as their energy effects were wreaking havoc on planets all over the galaxy. {{storylink|Big Convoy, Move Out}}

They eventually collected all the capsules only to find themselves attacked by the mysterious and freakish [[Blentron]]s. The Blentrons, in truth servants of Unicron seeking to engineer his rebirth, proved nearly invincible, and stole the capsules from each team. {{storylink|Mysterious Beast Warriors!?}} They released the Angolmois energy and allowed it to possess Galvatron's dead body, restoring Unicron to life in a new form. {{storylink|Unicron Revived!?}} Unicron absorbed the last remaining ounce of stray Angolmois energy—the Blentrons themselves—and left to settle his score with Cybertron. [[Great Convoy]] attempted to hold Unicron off with the entire Maximal armada, but Unicron's fiery serpent mode proved too much and he effortlessly destroyed the armada and Great Convoy along with it. Unicron then possessed [[Vector Sigma]], the mother computer of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], effectively possessing the planet, and morphed Cybertron into his new body. {{storylink|End of the Maximals!?}}

Unicron then briefly exited Vector Sigma to deal with the last remaining Cybertronian resistance. Big Convoy, his Maximal new recruits, Lio Convoy, and Magmatron all fought side-by-side against Unicron, but all they managed to do was stall him. Big Convoy then powered up his Big Cannon with his own [[Energon Matrix|Matrix]], transforming it into the Matrix Buster. Big Convoy shot Unicron with the weapon, the powerful blast seemingly destroying the Chaos Bringer. {{storylink|The Final Battle (BWN)|The Final Battle}} With Unicron's spirit evicted from Vector Sigma, Cybertron returned to normal. The Maximals and Predacons then put aside their differences to help rebuild the planet. {{storylink|Graduation Ceremony!!}}

===Rodimus vs. Cyclonus===
Upon being created by Unicron and charged with stealing the Matrix from Ultra Magnus, Cyclonus and Scourge vowed to prove themselves to Galvatron in battle, pledging their allegiance to him rather than the Chaos Bringer. While his creations were already plotting to overthrow him, Unicron was busy devouring one of Cybertron's moons. {{storylink|Rodimus vs. Cyclonus}}

===''Wings Universe''===
{{wingsnote}}
[[File:HtF-RookUnicronandUnicorn.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1]]
[[Apelinq (BM)|Apelinq]] considered the return of Unicron to be a less daunting challenge than a mandatory meditation session and lecture for the [[Cybertronian Knight]]s by [[Cheetor (BW)|Alpha Trizer]]. {{storylink|Tornado - Decepticon Saboteur|Apelinq's personal log, 2015/01/07}}

Time-traveling to the future when Cybertron would theoretically be at peace and therefore unprepared for threats, the [[Star Seeker]]s tried to use Unicron's head to drain all the energon out of Cybertron. A battle ensued aboard Unicron's head when the Cybertronian Knights arrived to stop them. However, the battle was prematurely ended when Alpha Trizer revealed to Star Seeker Captain [[Cannonball (G1)|Cannonball]] that Cybertron in 2984 was techno-organic and thus no longer operated on energon. Most of the pirates were then arrested, but during the battle [[Shokaract|Hunter]] was lured away by Unicron's voice to a transwarp portal that led into the past. There, at Unicron's urging, Hunter touched the [[Matrix of Conquest]] and became Shokaract! {{storylink|Hoist the Flag}} Upon his transformation into Unicron's herald, Shokaract contemplated new evils and set his sights on the metal sphere still being orbited by Unicron's deactivated head. {{storylink|Legacy (issue)|Legacy}}

===Fun Publications===
[[Vector Prime]] noted the Unicron of [[Primax 984.17 Alpha]] was not part of the multiversal Unicron singularity. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/05/22}} However, such distinctions would later cease to exist as [[multiversal singularity|multiversal singularities]] no longer did. {{storylink|Out of the One, Many}}
{{-}}

===Ask Vector Prime===

During Unicron's approach to Cybertron, [[Gong]] and [[Sideways (RID)|Sideways]] began playing with universal streams, causing elements of a [[Gargent]] stream to interact with the [[Primax]] stream Unicron currently inhabited. As a result, many of the warriors Unicron reformatted for [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] were [[Renegade]]s, including Deadlift (the tracker) and his Sweeps, Fracture (the warrior) and her armada.

Despite this, events unfolded much as they were meant to, culminating in the final battle between [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] and Galvatron inside Unicron. Once Hot Rod claimed the Matrix and became Rodimus Prime, he unleashed its power and destroyed Unicron from the inside out. {{storylink|Echoes and Fragments}}

===''Deviations''===
In a timeline where Optimus managed to kill Megatron during their final battle, Unicron nonetheless made his way toward Cybertron, pausing briefly to devour the dead and dying Deceptions thrown out of Astrotrain. He proceeded to Cybertron, where he interrupted Starscream’s coronation. At the behest of Soundwave, Starscream flew out to bargain with the planet-eater. They reached a bargain: Starscream was upgraded into “Megascream”, and his inner retinue of warriors were granted the ability to combine with their new leader, in exchange for Starscream’s servitude.

Unicron eventually grew tired of his new herald’s whining, and skipped chowing down on the Moonbases in favour of going straight for Cybertron, shrugging off Megascream’s pleas. Optimus Prime vowed to stop Unicron, but Megascream ultimately defeated the Autobot leader on Unicron’s surface. At the last moment, Hot Rod opened the Matrix—destroying Unicron, Megascream, and himself. {{storylink|Transformers: Deviations|Deviations}}

==Marvel Comics continuity==
===Marvel ''The Transformers'' comics===
[[File:PrimalScream-Unicron.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|Unicron is furious that he's been miscolored again.]]
{{quote|It is '''Unicron''' -- the Dark God, the Chaos-Bringer. But these are just '''names''', tags created by small, frightened beings. It is '''force of nature''', tearing, destroying and eating -- '''everything in its path!'''|The narrator|[[On the Edge of Extinction!]]}}
Millions of years after Primus and Unicron entombed themselves inside planetoids and went their separate ways, circa the Earth year [[1990]] a group of Transformers discovered the sleeping form of Primus at Cybertron's core. When a battle erupted, a stray laser blast struck Primus, briefly jolting the god awake and causing him to emit a multiverse-shaking "Primal Scream" that alerted Unicron to Primus's location. Primus himself immediately slipped back into his sleep, but it was too late. {{storylink|The Primal Scream}} {{storylink|Bird of Prey!}} Knowing the severity of the situation, Optimus approached an altar within the Ark, hoping to be granted a mystical vision which would guide him on his mission to stop Unicron. He witnessed the Creation Matrix being corrupted by evil in his vision, as well as Unicron's imminent encroachment! {{storylink|Kings of the Wild Frontier.}}

[[File:EyeoftheStorm-possiblefutureUnicron.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|For over a decade, this was considered to be yet another one of Unicron's lies. But now it isn't. Gotta love retcons!]]
While devouring the planet [[Ghennix]], Unicron took note of three criminals who were attempting to escape their fate. Unicron destroyed their vessel and recreated the three as [[Hook, Line, and Sinker]]. As the distance to Cybertron was vast and he was too large to teleport, he ordered them to retrieve a [[Galvatron II|Galvatron]] from a [[Rhythms of Darkness!|possible future]] to serve as his herald. {{storylink|All Fall Down}} Though this Galvatron was angry at being plucked from his victorious timeline, Unicron tortured him until he agreed to be his herald. Still, this Galvatron secretly plotted his eventual treachery. Unicron sent all four of them to attack Cybertron and pave the way for his coming. {{storylink|Eye of the Storm}}

The looming threat of Unicron was so great that Optimus willingly surrendered his forces to Scorponok in a bid to unite both factions, and meet against the Chaos Bringer as a single force. {{storylink|Surrender!}}

So close to Cybertron he could ''taste it'', Unicron decided to forgo consumption of the planet [[Jhi]] and hasten on his way to the ultimate confrontation. His herald Galvatron, however, captured Autobot leader [[Emirate]] [[Xaaron]], forcing him to fully awaken Primus. Suspecting treachery on Galvatron's part, Unicron sent Hook, Line and Sinker to retrieve him from the subterranean tunnels of Cybertron, but Galvatron destroyed them, and Primus was woken from his slumber. Unicron's arch-foe possessed Xaaron's body and summoned Transformers from all across the universe back to Cybertron. {{storylink|Out of Time!}}

Unicron shut down his higher mental functions and drifted for the remainder of the journey to hide himself from detection by Primus. At this point, a mental command that Unicron had placed in some of Primus's creations was activated, resulting in the formation of a cult of Unicron-worshipers, who gathered to destroy the leader of the united Autobots and Decepticons. These [[Acolyte of Unicron|Unicron cultists]] were drawn out when [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] was named commander of Primus's army. The cultists tried to assassinate the [[Prime (rank)|Autobot leader]]; they failed, but distracted the Cybertronians long enough for Unicron to sneak up on the planet. {{storylink|The Void! (US)|The Void!}}

[[File:Edgeofextinction-someonefight.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb|''He's got the whooooole world, in his feet...'']]
After Unicron dug his fist into the planet and ate the flesh of his mortal enemy, he noted that this was the finest meal he had ever tasted. However, he was somewhat disappointed to find that the gathered Transformers were simply so terrified of him that there was no resistance to his attack. As he devoured [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]] from the tip of his finger, he admitted that despite their lack of showmanship, they were at least delicious.

Unicron's unchecked rampage was soon ensnared by Primus himself, speaking through Emirate Xaaron's body. For a short moment, Unicron was restrained, but when he deduced that this ruse was a big show put on by an insignificant portion of Primus's power, he broke free and destroyed the avatar of Primus, killing both Xaaron and his creator.

Galvatron, who was worried his treachery was going to waste, attacked Unicron, hoping his bravery would stir the Transformers into action. Galvatron was smacked down, but his gambit paid off as the Transformers snapped out of their collective stupor and began a counter-attack against the Chaos-Bringer. Countless Transformers died in this assault, including the Decepticon leader [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]]. But Transformers weren't the only ones attacking him. Briefly fazed by the illusion-casting powers of the [[human]] [[Neo-Knights|Neo-Knight]] [[Rapture]], Unicron's systems were attacked by the electrical powers of [[Circuit Breaker (G1)|Circuit Breaker]].

[[File:OntheEdgeofExtinction-toomuch.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|For soon you will have life. ''Sweet'' life.]]
After being clocked by the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], Unicron received another surprise: the thought-lost Creation Matrix had returned, along with its vessel, [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]]. Unicron was at first confused, as he'd sensed the Matrix's destruction, but quickly realized that the Matrix had not been destroyed, but had merely been masked by its seduction by evil. And in the realm of evil, Unicron had no equal! Thunderwing was destroyed, but the Matrix fell to the planet's surface.

Fighting the evil within the Matrix, Optimus Prime grabbed the artifact and launched into Unicron's maw, where the Creation Matrix was opened. While being pummeled by the flood of life unleashed by the Matrix, Unicron's body could not maintain structural integrity and exploded. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}} {{storylink|Still Life!}}

[[File:JudgmentDay-mist.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|So, seriously, what was up with this stuff?]]
In an alternate 2005, Unicron's consumption of the planet [[Lithone (planet)|Lithone]] was heralded first by strange pink mists<ref>The original script called this an "electronic mist". It sets you on fire and melts you.</ref> that leaked from his planet mode's maw. On route to Cybertron, he encountered an injured [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] and the bodies of his troops. He offered them new bodies in exchange for hunting down the Matrix. Though Megatron refused the offer at first, Unicron was able to persuade him by emitting more of his corrosive mist. Megatron was remade as Galvatron, and his troops were reborn as Cyclonus, Scourge, and the Sweeps. {{storylink|The Planet-Eater!}} As Galvatron was sent forward, Unicron devoured [[Moonbase One]] and [[Moonbase Two]]. [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike]] and [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Bumblebee]] detonated the latter satellite in an attempt to destroy Unicron, but the plan failed utterly, leaving Unicron completely unscathed. {{storylink|Judgment Day!}} Galvatron returned to Unicron with the Matrix, but he intended to use it to make Unicron his slave. In retaliation, Unicron attacked Cybertron in earnest, as the planet was helpless against his assault. Ultimately, during a battle that took place inside Unicron, Rodimus Prime claimed the Matrix of Leadership from Galvatron and the Planet-Eater was destroyed from within. Only his head survived, and it remained in orbit over Cybertron. {{storylink|The Final Battle!}} {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (issue)|The Big Broadcast of 2006}}

{{note|In the UK version of the story, the events of "The Big Broadcast of 2006" were a fabrication invented by [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]]. Also, the UK printing of the animated film adaptation altered the date from 2005 to 2006 to match "[[Target: 2006]]".}}

====Rhythms of Darkness!====
In another alternate 2005, a dying Megatron was found by Unicron. Unicron refashioned Galvatron into his herald, {{storylink|A Savage Circle}} and through their combined efforts, Unicron succeeded in devouring Cybertron. In the aftermath, he allowed Galvatron and his Decepticons to rule Earth. {{storylink|Rhythms of Darkness!}}

=====Ask Vector Prime=====
Later in [[Primax 490.0 Gamma]], Unicron stumbled upon the [[Cybertronian (faction)|Cybertronian Empire]]'s [[Hub (G2)|Hub]] and savagely attacked. The Cybertronians fought back, rallying the remaining Autobots from Earth and Decepticons from [[Styx]]. Together, Autobot, Decepticon, and Cybertronian stood as one and destroyed Unicron's physical body. The Chaos-Bringer attempted to retreat to the psychic plane, but the [[Liege Maximo]], at the height of his power, confronted him and sacrificed his spark to permanently expel Unicron from their reality. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/24}}

====Earthforce====

After [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]] accused Optimus Prime of being too focused on Unicron's imminent arrival, to the detriment of [[Earth]]'s troubles, the Dinobot Commander was allowed to create an [[Earthforce]].'' {{storylink|Break-Away!}}

''However, Prime had his work cut out for him. With an attempted Decepticon alliance ruined beyond all recovery and the Matrix still lost, Optimus had to turn to the original site of the [[Underbase]]—as the Underbase was linked to the centre of Cybertron, the Autobots could tap into that centre (and thus Primus himself) as a substitute Matrix.'' {{storylink|The Magnificent Six!}}

====Marvel UK future timelines====
[[File:FallenAngel-Unicron.jpg|left|upright=1.4|thumb|And then Rodimus drove up through his entire body to escape through Unicron's other eye.]]
In a parallel timeline, Unicron did not arrive at Cybertron until the year [[2006]], consuming the small planet [[Lithone (planet)|Lithone]] on his way. As he drew closer to Cybertron, Unicron came upon the damaged bodies of Decepticon leader [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity#Marvel UK future timelines|Megatron]] and several of his Decepticon followers, who had been jettisoned into space following a major battle at [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] on Earth. Unicron extended Megatron a bargain, offering to rebuild him and his troops into new beings to serve him, and tortured the recalcitrant Decepticon leader into accepting. {{storylink|The Planet-Eater!}} {{storylink|Altered Image!}} Now reborn as [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]], Megatron immediately began scheming to destroy his "master", using a [[time-jump mechanism]] to travel back in time to [[1986]], where he constructed a solar cannon that was powerful enough to destroy Unicron's physical form. Fully aware of his pawn's actions, Unicron took control of the minds of [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Hot Rod]], [[Kup (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Kup]], and [[Blurr (G1)|Blurr]] and had them follow Galvatron back in time to foil his plan. {{storylink|Target: 2006}}

After Galvatron returned to 2006, Unicron devoured Cybertron's moons, much to his servant's dismay. {{storylink|Judgment Day!}} Unicron then attacked Cybertron while Galvatron fought Rodimus Prime within his master's body. Galvatron was defeated and thrown out into space. {{storylink|The Final Battle!}} He still had the remote to the [[time-jump mechanism]] and used it to travel back to 1986 again, where he planned to take over the Decepticons so he'd be ready for Unicron when he arrived 20 years later. {{storylink|Fallen Angel}} {{storylink|Wanted: Galvatron — Dead or Alive!}} {{storylink|Hunters}} Unicron himself was destroyed by Rodimus Prime and the Matrix of Leadership in a vast explosion, leaving only his head intact... and, unknown to anyone, that was all he needed to stay alive! {{storylink|The Final Battle!}}

[[File:LegacyofUnicron-Unicron.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|Silly Junkions, you can buy loose Unicrons on eBay for just $20!]]
His head floated off through space to eventually crash-land on the planet [[Junkion (planet)|Junkion]]. There, the still-conscious Unicron used mind control to force the native [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]] to build him a new body out of the planet. At the beginning of [[2008]], he pulled [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]], [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and [[Death's Head (G1)|Death's Head]] into his thrall and used them to re-ignite the stalemated Cybertronian war in order to keep the Autobots distracted from his activities. Amused by Death's Head's repeated attempts at defiance, he told him about his origin, only to find himself now under attack by Rodimus Prime and an Autobot strike-team.

This ''almost'' went wrong, as Rodimus (at Death's Head's suggestion) tried to use the power of the Matrix on the astral plane. Here, however, the Matrix ''strengthened'' Unicron and the monster intended to merge with it for greater power. Ultimately, however, he was defeated by [[Wreck-Gar (G1)|Wreck-Gar]], who had planted explosives under the head's building site while the Chaos-Bringer was distracted. His head was destroyed, and his mind was sealed within the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]. {{storylink|The Legacy of Unicron!}} {{storylink|Space Pirates!}}

[[File:WhiteFire-mine.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1|Rodimus rejects Unicron's endorsement of the coal industry.]]
On New Year's Day [[2009]], Unicron attempted to turn the Matrix towards evil and merge with it again, the only way he could bear being trapped within it. {{storylink|White Fire}} He reached out from within it and took control of Rodimus Prime's body, using him to sabotage an Autobot shuttle as it was headed for Earth. Kup caught on that Rodimus wasn't being himself quickly however, and forced Unicron to reveal himself earlier than the dark god had planned. Nonetheless, Unicron managed to force the ship into a crash-landing on Earth. As the dust settled following the impact, Unicron advanced on the Autobots, vowing to tear them limb from limb for their interference. {{storylink|Edge of Impact}} Regalling in the destruction, Unicron boasted that it was only fitting that the Autobots' end came at the hands of their leader. He further taunted them when he realized the Autobots had their blasters set to "stun," mockingly declaring that Rodimus was lost to them forever. {{storylink|Shadow of Evil}} Unicron's rampage was stopped when Kup ripped the Matrix out of Prime's chest. Unfortunately, this meant the Autobots lost their chance to purify the Matrix and that Unicron would be ready for them next time. {{storylink|White Fire}} In 2010, he repeated the trick and transformed Rodimus's body into a copy of his own before being forced back. In the far future of [[2356]], Unicron's essence still resided within the Matrix, steadily withering the struggling body of Rodimus. {{storylink|Aspects of Evil!}}

Luckily, [[Bumblebee (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Goldbug]] was able to defeat him on Junkion and the Decepticons suffered a great mental defeat.

Upon meeting the mysterious Decepticon [[Landquake (Timelines)|Landquake]], who claimed to be from [[Aurex 405.0 Epsilon|another dimension]], Megatron's Decepticons were skeptical of his claim, and Megatron ordered Soundwave and Scrapper to scrutinize Landquake. Their research backed up Landquake's story, with Scrapper citing the fact that the presence of Unicron, who Landquake claimed to have [[Revelations Part 6|been battling]], was known to cause spacetime anomalies. {{storylink|Crossing Over, Part 2}}

The [[Planet X (Cybertron)|Planet X]] that would come to threaten [[Aurex 105.08 Alpha]] was originally the body of Unicron from [[Primax 886.0 Gamma]]. After being blasted out of that reality by [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] and the [[Matrix of Leadership]], Unicron ended up as the undetected Tenth Planet of Earth's solar system in [[Tyran 609.08 Kappa]], a universe previously devoid of any singularity phenomenon. The universe's binary end-state nature interfered with the comatose Unicron's attempt to recover, and his systems ended up resurrecting many of the Transformers he had consumed. Dubbing their world Planet X, they traveled to [[Primax 290.0 Zeta]] and began a campaign of conquest, only to be thwarted by the Autobots of that universe. The local Autobots used [[Zodiac]] energy to expel Unicron's essence, splitting Planet X in two. Half remained in that universe as a paradise planet while the other half ended up in Aurex 105.08 Alpha, where it finally met its end in war with [[Gigantion|Gigalonia]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/08}}

When [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] appeared on prehistoric [[Earth]] and was questioned by the stranded [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] about how he came to be this way, Starscream "explained" that his body was destroyed by Unicron while serving his master, [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]]. This was, of course, a misrepresentation, and it was revealed later that it was actually Galvatron himself who killed Starscream. {{storylink|Possession}}

When the [[Vok]] spoke with [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] in Earth's pre-history, they took the form of Unicron's head, claiming that they scanned his mind and chose Unicron as an "authority figure". {{storylink|Other Voices, Part 1}}

After Unicron's entrapment in a lifeless, metal asteroid the dawn of time, {{storylink|Covenant (story)|Covenant}} the dark god recruited the [[Quintesson]]s to seek out the location of his nemesis, [[Primus]]. But when the Quintessons discovered Primus, now having taken the form of the planet [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], they decided to delay reporting their findings so they could first exploit Primus to their own ends. After finding the "[[Vector Sigma|singular threat]]" to Unicron and discovering how to subvert it, they used it to create a [[Transformer|race of robotic beings]] which they could sell to other worlds for a price. {{storylink|Disclosure}}

[[File:Unicrons dark essence.jpg|thumb|Even Unicron's crap is evil.]]
After his destruction in 2005, while his head was left in orbit around Cybertron, {{storylink|Betrayal}} Unicron's essence was sent spiraling through time and space, to crash on prehistoric Earth, prior to the conflict known as the [[Beast Wars (event)|Beast Wars]] which would occur on the planet. It is unclear if this was a deliberate attempt by Unicron to preserve his power or not, but this "[[Dark Essence]]" seemed to lack any real sentience, suggesting that it was merely Unicron's "power", while his spark remained in his intact head in the future. {{storylink|Paradox}}

[[File:Terminus-Unicron.jpg|left|upright=0.85|thumb|Unicron makes his own light saber noises.]]
The Dark Essence was discovered by a [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] known as the Hunter, who recognized the dark god's power, and fashioned from the Essence the [[Matrix of Conquest]], a twisted version of the Autobot Matrix of Leadership which he used to conquer and rule over an apocalyptic 32nd Century future, under the name "[[Shokaract]]". Resistance against Shokaract resulted in an attempt by his opponents to travel back in time and destroy the Dark Essence on prehistoric Earth, thereby erasing Shokaract from history, but the villain travelled back in time to stop this effort. [[Point Omega|A massive battle]] between him and Transformers from throughout the multiverse ensued, but eventually, thanks to the efforts of the [[Covenant (group)|Covenant]], history was altered so that Unicron's essence never arrived on prehistoric Earth, erasing this timeline—and Shokaract—from existence. {{storylink|Terminus (issue)|Terminus}}

One week after the [[Great Reformatting]], the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]] gangster [[Cryotek (Universe)|Cryotek]] succeeded in acquiring the [[Divine Light]], one of the Quintessons' discarded attempts to subvert the will of Primus. As Cryotek used it steal Primus's power for himself, [[Sentinel Maximus]] warned him that flaunting Primus's power would catch the attention of Unicron and doom them all. Cryotek laughed at this, since Unicron had been dead since three centuries earlier, and the idea of his resurrection was a fairytale believed only by the naive. {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}

Cryotek was defeated, but one year later Unicron struck once more. His body ruined and trapped between universes, he sought to revitalize himself by abducting Transformers from across the multiverse and pitting them against each other within the [[Cauldron]], a dark dimension contained within his own body, absorbing their [[energon radiation]] and eventually consuming their sparks. He chose to kidnap several Autobots and Maximals from [[Primax 797.18 Epsilon|one universe]]'s technorganic Cybertron, but that was also the staging ground from which Primus chose to launch a counterattack.

The taint of Angolmois would cause unrest and violence across Cybertron as the planet tore itself apart in renewed savage mindless conflict. At the same time, Unicron's chosen yet unwitting vessel, Shokaract, was fed Angolmois by the Blentrons, having been convinced that it would grant him the power to be reborn as a god. In one potential timeline, this did indeed happen as Unicron was reborn from Shokaract's corrupted form, and the Chaos Bringer proceeded to consume Cybertron itself. {{storylink|The Ascending issue 1|The Ascending #1}}

However, this was averted before it came to pass—thanks to the actions of the in-temporal-limbo [[Magmatron]], who alerted [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]] and by extension Lio Convoy to Unicron's plan and enlightened Shokaract when the tyrant was temporarily shunted into Magmatron's personal purgatory.

After his destruction in 2005, Unicron's displaced lifeforce became trapped within the planet Earth, where it was eventually discovered and manipulated by humankind (who were unaware of its origins). This resulted in the devastation of the planet, but the fame of this "mysterious energy" that had been called "[[Angolmois|Angolmois energy]]" was far-reaching, and eventually, twenty million years after Unicron's destruction, {{storylink|Double Cross}} the Predacon leader [[Galvatron (BWII)|Galvatron]] travelled to the deserted Earth (now known as [[Gaia]]) and attempted to harvest it for himself.

A Maximal energon survey team was sent to the planet Unicron, but it lost contact with [[Maximal Army Central Headquarters]]. {{storylink|Demolish the Superdreadnought Tank!}}

Galvatron eventually succeeded in sucking-up all the Angolomois energy on Gaia into his artificial planet [[Nemesis (BWII)|Nemesis]]. {{storylink|All Hands, Make a Special Attack on the Evil Planet!}} The Maximals journeyed to Nemesis to stop him, only for Lio Convoy to become corrupted by the Angolmois energy, turning a Predacon.

[[File:bwn-blackball-manga-01-bigconvoy.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|"Reply hazy, try again"]]
On the planet Gaia, a group of Predacons somehow came into possession of a mysterious spheroid object known as the '''Black Ball'''. The strange artifact was of some importance to the Predacons; it may in fact have told Magmatron that he could rule the galaxy once he had the seven [[Angolmois|Angolmois capsules]].

[[File:bwn-unicron-manga-07-unionfleet.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.1|*Head not to scale]]
When Big Convoy came to rescue five Maximal rookies who were trapped in the ''[[Galvaburg II]]'' on Gaia, the Maximals found the Black Ball and retrieved it.

After the Maximal returned to the ''[[Gung Ho]]'', they attempted to analyze the Black Ball. However, the Black Ball activated the ship's warp engine. {{storylink|The 5 Rookies}} During the warp, the Black Ball began to speak, telling the Maximals about the Angolmois capsules, which originated from the final conflict between [[Lio Convoy]] and [[Galvatron (BWII)|Galvatron]] on [[Nemesis (BWII)|Nemesis]]. It also told them that there were seven Angolmois capsules scattered across the galaxy in total. The Maximals were warned that they must retrieve all the capsules to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands, or the galaxy would be in extreme danger. The ''Gung Ho'' subsequently arrived at the planet [[Luxor]], where one of the capsules was located. {{storylink|There Are 7 Capsules}}

The Black Ball guided Big Convoy's team to various other places where capsules were located.

When Magmatron, who was in a healing chamber in the ''[[Dinosaur (ship)|Dinosaur]]'' due to wounds caused by Big Convoy, learned that he lost his troops in the battle on [[Jörmungandr]], the Black Ball suddenly appeared. The Black Ball told Magmatron that it could see he was short-handed and offered Magmatron some "helpers"—the [[Blentron]]s, who emerged from within the Black Ball. {{storylink|A Battle Fought Alone}}

The Black Ball told both Big Convoy and Magmatron of the planet where the last capsule was located. Magmatron faced off with Big Convoy there, and ordered the Blentrons to attack the Maximals. One of the Blentrons, however, chose to attack Magmatron instead. The action of the Blentrons baffled both Big Convoy and Magmatron alike. The Black Ball then arrived on the planet's surface.

It was revealed that the Black Ball was actually Unicron himself, or more specifically, his essence, while the Angolmois energy was his life force. Unicron absorbed the six capsules and reformed his head out of the Black Ball. He then revealed that the last capsule was actually both Big Convoy and Magmatron, who were evolved by the power of the Angolmois capsule on their home planet in the [[7th Cosmos]].

Unicron's servant, [[The Fallen]], tried to bring about his second coming by breaking the [[Seal of Primus]], but failed. {{storylink|Conflagration}} Unicron sent a wave of drones and heralds into the universe, with the Alpha Drone, [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]], arriving on Cybertron 3000 years ago, amidst the [[Great Shutdown]], which he ended when he reactivated Shockwave for research purposes. {{storylink|Generation 1 issue 0|Generation 1 #0}} Shockwave happily shot him and experimented on him, and through these experiments became interesting in uncovering the secrets to Cybertron's history. This curiosity led him to steal the [[Matrix of Leadership]] and activate [[Vector Sigma]], which sent a beam across space that roused Unicron from his slumber. {{storylink|Countdown to Extinction (issue)|Countdown to Extinction}} {{storylink|Revelation (War and Peace)|Revelation}}

Now awake, but not at full power or consciousness, Unicron set out on a course towards [[Earth]].

Unicron enslaved the population of the worlds he ate to maintain his inner works; one race included the [[Beastformer]]s. He was known about in Transformer legend, and was said to have been banished from his homeworld.

[[File:Unicron's DDP Brain.jpg|left|upright=1|thumb|Who needs all those TV monitors, anyway?]]
Thousands of years ago, when humanity was at a primitive stage, Unicron turned up to devour the Earth. The ancestors of [[Cobra-La]], however, had developed a [[metal-eating spore]] that could potentially kill Unicron. They came to an agreement—they would go into exile, while Unicron would merely eat human civilisation once it had developed to a useful point. Eventually they did, and Unicron began broadcasting announcements of "I Return" as he headed towards Earth. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 5|The Art of War #5}} {{storylink|Black Horizon, Part 1 of 2}}

Unicron reached Earth and transformed so as to consume civilization in robot form. [[Japan]] was devastated and humanity collectively wet itself. But the world was saved by [[Cosmos (G1)|Cosmos]] and [[Flint (G.I. Joe)|Flint]], who flew into the Chaos-Bringer and doused his organic looking brain with Cobra-La's metal-eating spores. Unicron was killed, the world was saved, and [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] went on to explore the dead monster's innards. {{storylink|Black Horizon, Part 2 of 2}}

In a universe where [[Optimus Primal (BW)/Beast Wars cartoon continuity|Optimus Primal]] led the [[Autobot]]s and [[Reptilion]] led the [[Decepticon]]s, a ship arrived once a year when the Transformers' civil war reached a fever pitch. The ship abducted every Decepticon it could find and promptly left.

These Decepticons were brought to Unicron, who was preparing them for an eventual, ultimate battle for the universe. But unknown to even Unicron, Primus, the sentient core of Cybertron, was amassing an army of Autobots that rivalled Unicron's army of Decepticons. Could Primus meet Unicron's challenge, or was the universe doomed? {{Storylink|Universe CD-ROM}}

At some point in the 21st century, Unicron remade Megatron into Galvatron. {{storylink|Micro-Aggressions}} As in most other realities, he attacked Cybertron during the height of the war, prompting the Autobots and Decepticons to team up and try to destroy him. Thousands upon thousands of Cybertronians died, until a select few with [[Point One Percenter|strange sparks]] managed to do him in. {{storylink|The Inexorable March}}

By the 24th century, traces of his essence remained in the form of [[Break]]'s [[Angolmois Blaster]] {{storylink|Broken Windshields}} and the [[Dark Energon]]-based [[G-Virus]]. {{storylink|Micro-Aggressions}} Despite such evidence to the contrary, [[information creep]] caused some Cybertronians to doubt that Unicron had been real. {{storylink|The Inexorable March}} Some maintained he was a conspiracy theory, made up to accomplish... something, or just outright denied his existence at all. These individuals were dubbed "Unicron Truthers". {{storylink|Derailment}}

==IDW Generation 1 continuity==
[[File:FirstStrike6 Welcome Death.jpg|thumb|upright=1.5|Spoiler alert: [[Matt Trakker]] is gonna be the one that kills him.]]
Ancient legends stated that Primus had an "opposite", a cosmic enemy of some sort. Some versions of the myths of the [[Guiding Hand]] said that Primus came to be as a reaction to the creation of this opposite. {{storylink|Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations|You, Me, and Other Revelations}} Other legends say that Primus led the original three Titans—[[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], [[Metrotitan (Zone)|Metrotitan]], and [[Chela]]—against it. {{storylink|Origin Myths}}

The legend of Primus's opposite permeated Cybertronian culture much like Primus himself. In the [[Mistress of Flame]]'s past, an inexplicable and violent confrontation with Onyx Prime at [[Antilla]] led her to fear that the dead world had been the domain of Primus's opposite, and that Onyx was now aligned with it. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 1: Surfeit of Primes|Surfeit of Primes}} After the Chaos event, Optimus Prime momentarily wondered if the primordial state of Cybertron was a creation of Primus or his opposite. {{storylink|Transformers: The Death of Optimus Prime|The Death of Optimus Prime}}

Whatever the stories, Unicron's existence was no legend. By the present day he lay dormant, encased within a rocky life-bearing planet that orbited a [[black hole]]. {{storylink|First Strike issue 6|First Strike #6}}

When [[Merklynn]] unleashed the energies of the [[Talisman (G1)|Talisman]] within [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], nearly half of the planet's [[energon]] reserves were beamed off into space in the form of a communication signal that translated to "Welcome.

Before the formation of Cybertron, Unicron and Primus battled fiercely, their blows shaking the very foundation of the cosmos. A group of Transformers then appeared, time-displaced from the distant future. Galvatron and his Decepticons joined forces with Unicron while Rodimus's troops helped Primus. Unicron was defeated despite being able to will more beings into reality. {{storylink|Battle of the Brothers}}

Unicron threatened to devour [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. {{storylink|'Til All Are One (Legends)|'Til All Are One}} During the attack, a number of Autobots and Decepticons ended up inside him and fell foul of his internal defenses. {{storylink|Belly of the Beast (Legends)|Belly of the Beast}} He was halted when [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] opened the [[Matrix of Leadership]] while inside him, and the energies tore apart his body, reducing him to a head. {{storylink|'Til All Are One (Legends)|'Til All Are One}}

Later the incorporeal [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] sought out his help and was pressed into service doing Unicron's bidding and spreading chaos. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (Legends)|Ghost in the Machine}} Unicron enacted a plan that included sending Galvatron back in time. {{storylink|Savage Circle}} He struck a deal with Starscream in order to acquire Trypticon's body.

===''Transformers: Devastation''===
As Unicron slept, the [[Mission of Cybertronian Expansion]] ship, the ''[[Proudstar]]'' touched down on his surface. He observed the crew members and eventually corrupted them to varying degrees, particularly their leader, [[Nova Prime]]. His influence caused them to [[Eco-structuring|cyberform]] inhabited worlds as well as uninhabited ones, wiping out millions of lives. Before the ''Proudstar'' left, Nova pointed Unicron in Cybertron's (and Primus's) direction. The more distance the crew put between themselves and Primus, the more Unicron managed to corrupt them. [[Kranix (G1)|Kranix]] and [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] separately realized what Unicron had done to them but could not stop it. Kranix eventually caused the ship to crash into [[Earth]] before he fled to Lithone. Unicron, meanwhile, followed the trail of cyberformed worlds, destroying all he came across in the process. Millions of years later, a touch of his darkness still permeated in the ''Proudstar''. [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] felt him through the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]. [[Teletraan Alpha]] seemed to know that Unicron represented chaos but not ''who'' he was.

{{bigquote|Since Unicron is a villain and because I was fooling around at that time, I decided to make him look demonic with goatee, horns, bat-like wings and eagle talons for feet. I got the idea of Unicron from the planet Saturn and Satur. Actually, the original name was "Ingestor," but the writer changed it to Unicron when he saw the design, probably because of the "horns."|character designer [[Floro Dery]], [http://transformersph.blogspot.com/2007/06/floro-derys-transformers-exhibit-and.html Floro Dery's TransFormers Exhibit And Interview]}}
*Before the Transformers brand even existed, Takara designer [[Hiroyuki Hataike]] drew up a "Planet-Robot" toy for the ''[[Micro Change]]'' line, a design that would eventually inspire Unicron.
*In early preproduction for ''The Transformers: The Movie'', Unicron was referred to as the '''Entity'''. A model sheet from later in the movie's preproduction revealed that, at one point, the ''planet'' Unicron would turn into the ''robot'' '''Ingestor'''. An early rough draft of the film detailed some of the specifics of this; the disembodied voice of Ingestor would have presented itself to Megatron as merely the master and custodian of the planet Unicron, communicating from somewhere within the planet. He would remake the [[Spark|Life Spark]] of Megatron and other fallen Decepticons into Galvatron and his troops, and implore them to bring him energon to feed the planet, consumed with straw-slurping and lip-smacking sounds. Only at the draft's climax were Ingestor and Unicron revealed to be one and the same, as the energy the planet had been absorbing was revealed to be required to power the planet's transformation into robot mode. We used "robot" loosely, though; many pieces of organic terminology are used throughout the draft to describe planet and robot forms, such as the planet being covered in what appeared to be grass trees but which were actually the hairs of his humanoid form. At the end of the early rough draft, Unicron is destroyed completely by the Life Spark of Optimus Prime.<ref>[http://boltax.blogspot.com/2010/12/heritaage-auctions-transformers-movie.htmlHeritage Auctions Transformers: The Movie script] @ Disciples of Boltax</ref>
*Character designer [[Floro Dery]] claims his designs for Unicron were very large and complicated. For example, there were three drawings of Unicron's internal organs that were 2'x7' each. Dery also explains that Unicron's television monitor-covered [[Unicron's core|core]] is "like security monitors in a building," and that he must watch these screens manually to know what is going on, rather than the information being diverted directly into him from the screens' source. And finally, the orbiting moon that is seen in the discarded Generation 1 prototype by Takara (see [[Unicron/toys]]) was intended to be "a kind of mini-Unicron, like Mini-Me of Dr. Evil." Floro Dery's kind of eccentric.<ref>Zobovor's [http://web.archive.org/web/20060625115408/http://members.aol.com/tfencyc/interview_dery.html Interview with Floro Dery]</ref>
[[File:FloroDeryUnicronNotes.jpg|thumb|upright=1.85|That's no moon. No seriously, ignore that moon.]]
*Floro Dery's production notes as shown on his designs for Unicron (then "The Entity") reveal some very interesting things that don't quite come through in the original film or were dropped:
**The spheres on Unicron's rings are meant to be roughly equivalent in size to ''Earth''.
**The surface of Unicron was originally a dense jungle of metal and mechanical creatures.
**Dery's roundabout reasoning for giving Unicron rings is explained: "Saturn sounds like Satur [presumably meaning ''satyr'']. Satur is synonymous with the Devil. The Entity is a Devil-like planet. This is the reason why I designed the Entity like the planet Saturn."
**A moon is included (as in Takara's G1 toy prototype), but never explained aside from being flashy and conductive.
**All the circular portions on the planet's surface were to flash and reflect different colors to "dazzle the viewers" and eliminate the epileptics in the audience.
[[File:TFTM-Unicronalternatehead.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|He shaved!]]
*An earlier version of Unicron's head showed up during Unicron's transformation scene in ''The Transformers: The Movie''. Originally animated for [[The Transformers: The Movie promo]], this version has no [[facial hair]] and has extra greebles all over his face. It also colored the helmet entirely gray, save an orange mohawk. In [[Transformers: The Animated Movie|IDW's comic book adaptation of the animated film]], [[Don Figueroa]] drew a hybrid between the two designs, combining the facial hair and the orange mohawk.
*Unicron's profile in ''[[The Transformers Universe]]'' states that Unicron eating planets (and stars) increases his size and his hunger, a detail not shown anywhere else.

'''Unicron''' is the eternal arch-enemy of his twin brother [[Primus]]. Also known as the '''[[Lord of Chaos]]''', '''Chaos Bringer''', '''The Destroyer''' and '''Planet-Eater''', he is dedicated to consuming the [[multiverse]]. His massive form is powered by the consumption of planets, moons, stars and even the very fabric of existence. Unicron will not be sated until his ultimate goal is attained: to bring an end to the annoying creation boasting independence around him and find peace by becoming the living center of [[Void|a swirling infinite torrent of nothingness at the end of all things]].

To undertake this seemingly overwhelming task Unicron is able to travel across realities at will, a meandering plague upon existence itself.<ref>Titanium Series 3" Unicron profile</ref><ref>Universe Armada Series Unicron bio</ref> Integrated into his systems are incomprehensible quantum computers which calculate probabilities forward and backwards in time in perpetuity giving his processors an ever changing and evolving map of the multiverse.<ref>Profile, [[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 10|''Hasbro Transformers Collector's Club'' #10]]</ref> With these abilities at his disposal, Unicron has thus far devoured approximately 22.56% of known universes. Seen at a detached distance from the multiverse this collective "'''Unicron Phenomenon'''" acts with characteristics of a virus or plague seeping through reality and succeeding where it can and retreating when it cannot.<ref>According to the [[Transcendent Technomorph]]s' records in "[[Withered Hope]]."</ref> Various permutations of Unicron can spawn into existence outside trappings of the larger entity hailing from more mundane origins but possessing the same consumptive traits.<ref>Decoded [[Ask Vector Prime]] text within "[[Transformers Animated: The Complete AllSpark Almanac]]".</ref> For much of multiversal history the singularity Unicron threatened all of existence, but now [[Shroud|that is no longer the case]], versions of Unicron being restricted to their own dimensions.

The only thing that he fears is Primus's essence contained inside the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]. To a being of chaos and uncreation, this font of life is a poison.

Frequently Unicron will make deals with [[Herald of Unicron|lesser beings]], promising them vast new powers in exchange for their servitude. These minions are [[Thunderwing (G1)|sometimes]] stripped entirely of their free will, but [[Sideways (Armada)|others]] follow him willingly. Service to Unicron, however is a double-edged sword for it causes insanity and loss of self. And in the end, Unicron's plans ultimately call for their consumption as well.

{{bigquote|Unicron is frightening. Unicron will destroy... will destroy ''space''.|[[High Wire (Armada)|High Wire]] explaining the gist of Unicron's business and lot in life|"[[Uprising (Armada)|Uprising]]"}}

==In the beginning==
[[File:UK150Unicron.jpg|left|upright=1.1|thumb|Saay, that shield looks [[Decepticon|familiar]].]]
Before the dawn of time, Order and Chaos existed within an extra-dimensional entity known as [[The One]]. To explore the fledgling universe, he created the astral being known as Unicron, and then subdivided him, creating his twin, Primus. Both brothers were [[Multiversal singularity|multiversal singularities]], unique in all realities, but whereas Unicron could only exist in one universe at a time, moving between them at will, Primus existed simultaneously in all realities at once. It is suggested, in fact, that the two brothers embody the basic concepts of reality—good and evil, order and chaos—and that their continued existence is necessary for the stability of the multiverse.

[[File:Primusoriginal.jpg|thumb|"No, [[Frenzy (G1)|Frenzy]] is ''[[FIRRIB|red]]!''"]]
As Unicron and Primus went about their appointed task, venturing through the cosmos, it became apparent to Primus that Unicron was a corrupt being, and he took it upon himself to stop the threat posed to all of existence by his sibling. In combat, Primus was no match for Unicron. 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, only to have both their essences manifest within metallic planetoids, leaving them both trapped. It was with this act of sacrifice that Primus hoped to contain Unicron's evil forever. Unfortunately for him, over time, Unicron learned to psionically shape his prison into a giant metallic planet, and Primus followed suit, becoming the mechanical world of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. 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, creating a group of [[Thirteen|thirteen robots]] that possessed the ability to change shape, like Unicron.

The war between Unicron and Primus came to its seeming end during a climactic battle in which one of the Thirteen, who would forever afterwards be known as [[The Fallen]], betrayed Primus and became an acolyte of Unicron. The battle ended when the Fallen and Unicron were sucked into a black hole and disappeared from reality. With Unicron gone for now, Primus entered an eons-long slumber, his self-imposed sleep preventing Unicron from detecting him through the mental link the brothers shared.

===Evolution of the Primus/Unicron myth===
The Primus/Unicron backstory has evolved and been rewritten a good number of times since it first originated in the [[Marvel Comics]] series. The version recounted above is the current iteration, which has slowly solidified across a wide swath of media (beginning around the time of ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]''). Before the Primus/Unicron mythos reached its present form it went through several distinct versions in the Marvel Generation 1 comics and elsewhere.

====Unicron's story====
The first time the Primus/Unicron backstory appeared was in the UK comic continuity, from Unicron himself, in the story "[[The Legacy of Unicron!]]", when he recounted it to [[Death's Head (G1)|Death's Head]]. 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 God]]s against his mortal foe, Primus, Lord of the [[Light God]]s. 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 Keeper's story====
The second time the story was told was in the United States book by the [[Keeper (Transformer)|Keeper]], an ancient mechanoid who guarded Primus's head at the center of Cybertron. This telling is effectively the same as the previous UK story, but mentions that their battle was towards the end of the era of gods, that Primus and Unicron were the last of their respective pantheons, and Primus had to defeat Unicron before he could take his place with the other gods in the "[[Omniversal Matrix]]".

====Primus's story====
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. It was with this telling that we learned that Unicron predated the [[universe (universe)|current universe]], and had destroyed the [[old realms|previous universe]] which existed before the current one. He had slept peacefully, alone in the [[void]] of un-creation that remained, until fragments of the old universe that he had overlooked reacted, causing the Big Bang and birthing the current universe. The "sentient core" of this new universe recognized the threat that Unicron posed, and so created Primus to counter his evil and be guardian of the new creation.

====Fleer and DK====
The first modern retelling of the origins of Primus and Unicron did not come from Generation 1-oriented media, but from a set of ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'' trading cards released by Fleer. It was the backstory printed on Unicron's card which introduced the concept of the two being brothers created to explore the new universe by an extra-dimensional entity, here named the "[[Transformer afterlife|Allspark]]".''

This was subsequently expanded on and combined with aspects of the various Marvel Comics stories in ''[[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide]]'', published by Dorling Kindersley and written by [[Simon Furman]], who had written all three prior tellings in the first place. Here, the entity Fleer had called the "Allspark" was redubbed "[[The One]]", and the modern iteration of the myth detailed above was firmly established, and went on to form the backbone of subsequent fiction such as ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 franchise)|Universe]]'' and [[Fun Publications]]' ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'' comics.

==Fun Publications==
Since time immemorial, the [[Thirteen]], children of [[Primus]], fought Unicron. [[Prima]], leader of the Thirteen, wielded the mighty [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]] in the Thirteen's conflicts with Unicron. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/05/18}} [[Solus Prime]] forged the [[Terminus Blade]] for herself and her brethren to cross dimensions in their campaign against the primordial entity. {{storylink|Out of the One, Many}}

As guardian of time and space, [[Vector Prime]]'s most frequent opponent was Unicron, though the Chaos-Bringer often seemed barely aware of Vector's existence. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/05/31}} For various periods of time, Vector would follow Unicron and attempt to repair the damage to spacetime which Unicron's presence wrought. {{storylink|Vector Prime: In the Beginning}}

In the [[Primax]] universal cluster, Unicron had many incarnations, all often attacking [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] at some point and being destroyed by the [[Transformer]]s that lived there. He also would repeatedly serve as a Faustian devil; making deals with lesser lifeforms in return for servitude. Among his most famous of those was [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]], who would often be reformatted into the powerful [[Decepticon]] known as [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]].

Originally possessing a destroyer tank configuration, Unicron united his planet, and eventually he utilized a mystical [[Cyber Key]] to merge his consciousness with it. Unicron proceeded to begin to consume this reality before [[Omega Prime]] and [[Fortress Maximus (RID)|Fortress Maximus]] stopped him.

Dimensional observer [[Vector Prime]] wasn't sure if it was merely [[Trans-Dimensional Harmonic Resonance|trans-dimensional harmonic resonance]] which had caused Unicron's actions or if something greater was behind it all. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/28}}

==Unicron Trilogy continuity family==
In the [[Aurex]] universal cluster, Unicron often played a notable role in Cybertronian history. Often, his incarnations would attack Cybertron during the conflict for the [[Mini-Con]]s, be the subject of a revival campaign involving energon and the [[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]], and then be trapped the [[Unicron Singularity]].

Additionally, Unicron sent a group of heralds—incarnations of [[Bludgeon (G1)#Dreamwave Armada continuity|Bludgeon]], [[Dirge (G1)#Dreamwave Armada continuity|Dirge]], [[Galvatron (G1)#Dreamwave Armada contoinuity|Galvatron]], [[Scourge (G1)#Dreamwave Armada continuity|Scourge]], and [[Thunderwing (G1)#Dreamwave Armada continuity|Thunderwing]]—to this second universe to find the [[Mini-Con Matrix]] and kill that universe's Optimus Prime and Megatron. The heralds did not realize that their target Optimus Prime had been accidentally transported to the initial, dying Cybertron. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 1 of 4}}

Optimus Prime found one lone survivor, [[Spinister (G1)#Dreamwave Armada comic|Spinister]], and begged him to tell him what was going on. Spinister told him that the "heart of darkness, the root of all evil" had ravaged their world. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 2 of 4}} {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 3 of 4}} When Unicron loomed over them, Spinister surrendered himself to his fate. Spinister soon returned as an avatar for Unicron, who found this Optimus Prime's presence to be an "anomaly". Soon [[Jetfire (Armada)|Jetfire]] managed to trace Optimus Prime to this dying universe and travel there to rescue him. Using the power of the Mini-Con Matrix, Prime and Jetfire were able to combine into Jet Optimus and fire a powerful shot into the heart of Unicron. Though they were too late to save this Cybertron, they could return home and prepare for Unicron's coming there. {{storylink|Worlds Collide, Part 4 of 4}}

Optimus Prime called for an alliance with the Decepticons and the Mini-Cons, hoping to unite their forces against the coming Dark god. After warping to Cybertron's surface, Unicron himself arrived, and announced that they would all soon be consumed. During the following battle, Unicron was curious about the Transformers [[Airazor (Armada)|Airazor]], [[Cheetor (Armada)|Cheetor]], [[Rhinox (Armada)|Rhinox]], and [[Terrorsaur (Armada)|Terrorsaur]], and abducted them for future purposes. Unicron was ultimately defeated by the Mini-Con Matrix, boosted from the additional power of two universes' Mini-Cons. This universe's [[Megatron (Armada)|Megatron]], having made a bid for Unicron's power, was standing on the surface of the planet-eater when he was destroyed, and his body was also lost, his spark trapped within Unicron's remains. {{storylink|The End}}

====''Energon'' comic====
[[File:ThisEvilReborn-Unicron.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|You never see him transform to robot mode.]]

Ten years later, his broken body was still left floating in space after his defeat. Despite his damaged form, his [[Unicron's core|core]] presented huge potentials for power, and so [[Alpha Quintesson]] gathered together a group of Decepticon dissidents under the leadership of [[Scorponok (Energon)|Scorponok]] and transformed them into "[[Terrorcon (Energon)|Terrorcons]]". He promised these Terrorcons this power in exchange for their services. {{storylink|This Evil Reborn}} Meanwhile, Megatron's consciousness was trapped within this core, and over time was able to use Unicron's systems to create for himself a new body, though he was unable to transfer his spark into it. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Three}}

Alpha Quintesson was secretly working for Unicron himself, and he sent the corrupted forms of Airazor, Cheetor, Rhinox, and Terrorsaur, his "[[Unicron's Four Horsemen|Four Horsemen]]", to Cybertron to distract the Autobots from Unicron's revival. {{storylink|This Evil Reborn}}

Optimus Prime, who received a telepathic message from the disembodied Megatron, turned to the [[Autobot High Council]] for permission to dedicate an army towards Unicron's return and his intent to consume alleged huge amounts of [[energon]] on Earth, but the Council dismissed these concerns as paranoia. While they did not grant Prime his army, they did permit him to travel to Earth alone. Before Prime could get out of the building, Unicron's Horsemen struck. Prime and the Council realized this was an act of war perpetrated by Unicron, and so Prime's original pleas were finally heard. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath}}

[[File:WhatLiesBeneath3-Unicroninterior.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|Unicron has a big [[negative universe]] [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]] collection.]]

After they were defeated by Optimus Prime on Earth, Scorponok and his Terrorcons were forcibly brought back to Unicron's for disciplinary action by Alpha Quintesson. {{storylink|What Lies Beneath, Part Four}} Afterwards, Optimus Prime stepped through a portal back to Cybertron to assemble a team of reinforcements... but instead found himself brought to within Unicron, summoned by Megatron's consciousness. {{storylink|Omni-Potent}} Optimus Prime argued with Megatron, denying that he would ever help his thought-dead foe inhabit his new body. Megatron countered with images of a massive-scale Terrorcon attack on Earth. Alpha Quintesson had used Unicron's power to reconfigure [[Tidal Wave (Armada)|Tidal Wave]] into Mirage, and [[Moscow]], [[Toronto]], and [[Los Angeles]] were under heavy siege from his Terrorcon army. Still, Optimus Prime resisted helping Megatron, even with the promise of teaming up to destroy the remnants of Unicron, as he feared releasing Megatron in his new body would be unleashing an equal evil. {{storylink|Multiplicity}}

Finally, after images of carnage on Earth overwhelmed him, Optimus Prime caved to Megatron's demands, and Prime began traveling through Unicron under Megatron's direction. After falling in some goo, Prime located the sensor array that was keeping Megatron's consciousness from entering his new body. It worked, and Megatron was freed... though Optimus Prime was subsequently located by Unicron's internal defenses. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 2}} But through sheer force of will, Optimus broke through Unicron's immune system, and managed to allow Megatron access to his new body. {{storylink|Multiplicity, Pt. 3}} Optimus was last seen having defeated the remnants of Unicron's antibodies, with a bandolier and his hand-held cannon. He boasted to Unicron that he was coming for him. {{storylink|No Exit}}

{{Unreleased energon comic}}
Previously, Unicron had destroyed [[Quintessa (planet)|Quintessa]], and [[Alpha Quintesson]] was the sole survivor. With the [[Initiator]], Alpha attempted to escape Unicron, only for his ship to be pulled to the planet eater. {{storylink|Doomsday Redux!}} The energon used for Unicron's reactivation came not from Earth, but from [[Nervissa]], a fact Optimus Prime discovered after connecting to Unicron's consciousness. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 1}} Alpha Quintesson sought to destroy Unicron and had a [[seismic-shock warhead]] teleported to Unicron. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 2}} Within Unicron, Optimus gambled that he would need to make contact with Cybertron if he had any chance of escaping the malevolent planet. He ascended to Unicron's surface, only to come upon the warhead, right after it had been teleported in. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 3}} In the later chaos of an alternate-universe [[Quintesson]] invasion of Cybertron, Unicron awoke and began to strike out against the Transformers. HIs first target was Megatron, who had teleported back to within his body to confront Alpha Trion. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 4}} Realizing that their planet was open to Unicron's attack, the Quintessons attacked Unicron, to no avail. The Quintessons were destroyed, and the Transformers managed to delay Unicron enough for the warhead to explode, destroying the planet. The shockwaves from Unicron's destruction created a [[Unicron Singularity|black hole]] from the portal to the alternate-universe Quintessa. {{storylink|Armageddon Part 5}}

===Cartoon continuity===
Unicron was evidently very active in this universe at various points in time, although the precise chronological order of his activities is unclear.

At some undetermined point in the past of this universe, Unicron was approached by the survivors of [[Planet X (Cybertron)|Planet X]], a world that had been destroyed in a war with the inhabitants of the Giant Planet, [[Gigantion]]. In return for the chance to gain revenge on Gigantion, the survivors swore loyalty to Unicron, and "Planet X" became something of a code-phrase that identified those in the service of the planet-eater.

{{note|Liner notes included with the DVD release of ''Galaxy Force'' in [[Japan]] claim that Planet X is actually the body of Unicron from a parallel universe. This would not appear to be compatible with the Western storyline, nor, indeed, with the date later given to the planet's destruction on the [[TakaraTomy]] "[http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/TF/bible/index.html World of the Transformers]" website.}}

Cybertronian legend referred to an attack by Unicron on the planet that was ultimately thwarted by the mighty Autobot warrior, [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]]. {{storylink|Omega Supreme (episode)|Omega Supreme}}

[[File:Alliance-Unicronmoon.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|That's no moon!]]
Unicron's first attack on Cybertron was over a million years in the making, begun when he opted to disguise his dormant body as Cybertron's moon. From this secret vantage point, he implanted his own cells within the planet, where they germinated and grew into the small race of robots known as the [[Mini-Con]]s. Unicron hoped to use the Mini-Cons to increase the ferocity of the Autobot/Decepticon war, and feed off of the energies released in the conflict. The Cybertronians would then be subjugated through the Mini-Cons' influence. Though his plan succeeded in one timeline, the interference of three time-displaced children changed this. [[Rad White]], [[Carlos Lopez]], and [[Alexis Thi Dang]] planted the seed of sentience and free will within the Mini-Cons, who ultimately rebelled against their creator and fled Cybertron, crash-landing on the planet Earth. This forestalled Unicron's emergence by eons. {{storylink|Origin}} {{storylink|Drift (episode)|Drift}}

[[File:Union-Unicron.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.66|Don't mind me, just chillin'.]]

When the Mini-Cons were reawakened a million years later in 2010, they were detected by the Autobots and Decepticons, who followed their signal to Earth. {{storylink|First Encounter}} Unicron also picked up the signal, and dispatched his minion [[Sideways (Armada)|Sideways]] to carry on his work. {{storylink|Gale}} Rad, Alexis, and Carlos encountered a digital manifestation of Unicron when Sideways transported them to a digital world, in a bid to steal the [[Street Action Mini-Con Team]] from them. Unicron's avatar gave chase to the children as they fled back into the physical realm, but was unable to catch them in time. {{storylink|Chase (episode)|Chase}} Sideways then continued to escalate the conflict by manipulating control of the three Mini-Con weapons, the [[Star Saber (Armada)|Star Saber]], the [[Skyboom (Armada)|Skyboom]] shield and the [[Requiem Blaster (Armada)|Requiem Blaster]], but eventually arranged for all three to be returned to Cybertron, where he stole them and used them to reawaken Unicron. {{storylink|Portent}} While still awakening, Unicron sent an energy bolt down at Starscream, who had fired a powerful blast at the Dark God to convince Galvatron of his threat. Starscream was disintegrated before his shot could even reach Unicron. {{storylink|Cramp}}

[[File:ArmadaUnicron02.jpg|upright=1.1|thumb|The Power Cosmic gives you wrinkles.]]
Shedding his moon disguise and transforming to robot mode, Unicron turned on Cybertron, only to be met with resistance in the form of the united armada of Autobots and Decepticons {{storylink|Alliance}}, and his own Mini-Cons, who had linked together and formed a [[Unicron of Light|giant duplicate]] of his body. {{storylink|Union}} Now at full power, however, it was child's play for Unicron to exert control over his creations, and bring the Mini-Cons under his thumb once more. Again, it was thanks to the Autobots' human allies—the same children who had been sent back in time and given the Mini-Cons free will in the first place—that the Mini-Cons struggled free of Unicron's control, including the three Mini-Con weapons, who broke free and left Unicron's body deactivated. {{storylink|Origin}} Believing the threat over, [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] then challenged Optimus Prime to their final battle, only for the hatred and ferocity of their fight to awaken Unicron once more. To end the circle of hate that gave Unicron life, Galvatron allowed himself to be consumed by the monster, and in a brilliant flash of light, Unicron apparently ceased to exist. {{storylink|Mortal Combat}}

====''Linkage''====
[[File:Arm-art Linkage13-Title.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Everything they've built will fall! And from the ashes of their world, we'll build a better one!]]

While traversing the [[Linkage (dimension)|Linkage]] dimension, [[Redline]] noticed an ominous presence watching him. {{storylink|Linkage Part 7}} Redline recognized it as "The Terrible One" and relayed that info to [[Servo (MD)|Servo]], who then relayed it to [[Rollbar (Armada)|Rollbar]]. Having also seen The Terrible One while in the Linkage, [[Falcia]] chose to stay with Redline and work with him on the [[Master Key]]. Meanwhile, [[Sideways (Armada)|Sideways]], a minion of Unicron, gave the [[Speed Chaser Team]], also minions of Unicron, the [[Doomstone]], an artifact intended to permanently enslave the Mini-Cons to Unicron's will. {{storylink|Linkage Part 8}}

The Doomstone was then installed in [[Ravenus]], who used its evil energies to destroy the souls of the Mini-Cons and revert them into mindless death-machines. {{storylink|Linkage Part 10}} Ravenus and the Doomstone intended to destroy the Earth. {{storylink|Linkage Part 11}} Redline and [[Kingbolt (MD)|Kingbolt]] were able to contain Ravenus and extract the Doomstone. Redline then sealed it away in his extra-dimensional storage space for safekeeping. {{storylink|Linkage Part 12}}

While all this was going on, Unicron was busy assaulting Cybertron. Ravenus, now freed from Unicron's control via the Doomstone, fought alongside the other Mini-Cons against the god. The combined forces of the Autobots, Decepticons and Mini-Cons then joined for a final battle against Unicron. {{storylink|Linkage Part 13}}

In truth, however, Unicron had survived, and for the next ten years, continued to consume planets in other regions of space. One such planet was the world known as [[Planet Q]], whose inhabitants fought back by detonating the planet's core in Unicron's face. Badly damaged by the explosion, Unicron fell into a state of dormancy, but the life essence of the planet's ruler—the being who would come to be known as [[Alpha Quintesson|Alpha Q]]—continued to exist within him, and began a not-entirely-sane plan to use Unicron's powers to recreate everything the Chaos-Bringer had ever destroyed. {{storylink|Alpha Q: Identity}} Recreating the armies of Planet Q as "Terrorcons", Alpha Q had them attack Autobot facilities on Earth and throughout the [[Solar System]] to gather the [[energon]] that would be necessary for his plan to work. {{storylink|Cybertron City (episode)|Cybertron City}}

[[File:Energon Unicron.jpg|thumb|Unicron sported [[Neon|awesome]] [[Black repaint|colors]] during ''Energon''.]]

Unbeknownst to Alpha Q, Megatron's corpse and spark remained within Unicron, and he slowly siphoned off some of the gathered Energon, allowing him to be reborn in his own new body. To escape Megatron's fury, Alpha Q jettisoned Unicron's head and escaped in it, {{storylink|Megatron Resurrected}} while Megatron took over Unicron's body, and continued to gather Energon in order to rebuild Unicron to use as his ultimate weapon. {{storylink|Megatron Raid}} Both parts of Unicron's inert form were used by Megatron and Alpha Q as their bases from then on. Though Unicron briefly lashed out towards those housed within him when he became starved with energon, he otherwise remained incapable of attacking them. {{storylink|Survival Instincts}}

As the climax of Megatron's plans neared, a joint attack by Alpha Q, the Autobots and their human allies saw all of Earth's Energon channeled into Unicron's head, which Alpha Q then rammed into Unicron's body. {{storylink|Unicron Unleashed}} The positively-charged Energon of Earth reacted with the negatively-charged Energon running through Unicron, tearing open a fissure in reality leading to a new area of space where planets Unicron consumed were recreated, and sustained through the Energon radiated from Unicron's head, which had now become a glowing red sun. {{storylink|Open Fire!}} {{storylink|Ripped Up Space}} {{storylink|Farewell Inferno}}

[[File:Unicron eats blizzard.jpg|left|thumb|Unicron should stop eating so many Blizzards.]]
Unicron's body, damaged once more, lay in the dark reaches near the fissure, and the Decepticons began to raid Alpha Q's new planets for the Energon necessary to revive Unicron again. This time, they succeeded, {{storylink|Omega Supreme (episode)|Omega Supreme}} and Megatron directed Unicron's body to retrieve his head, extinguishing the Energon Sun and killing Alpha Q in the process. {{storylink|A Heroic Battle}} But the power of Unicron proved too much for Megatron to control, as Unicron began to take over Megatron's body. {{storylink|The Power of Unicron}} The Autobots made a valiant but futile attempt to stop him, and Unicron swatted them like gnats. Just as things seemed hopeless, a surge of power from Primus allowed Optimus Supreme to grow to Unicron's size and powered up the other Autobots. {{storylink|Optimus Supreme}} After a long and hard battle, Optimus destroyed Unicron's body. {{storylink|Unicron Perishes}}

[[File:Energon-Unicrons-Arms.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|"Geodude geeeeoooo geodude."]]

None of the Transformers were aware, however, that Unicron lived on in two forms: his miniscule Spark, floating in space, and his consciousness, which lay buried in Megatron's mind. With quiet, subconscious nudging, Unicron led Megatron to a massive reservoir of "[[Super Energon]]" beneath Cybertron's surface, {{storylink|Ambition}} which transformed him into Galvatron upon his first exposure. {{storylink|Wishes}} Galvatron used his newfound power to take command of Cybertron, exiling the Autobots off-world by unleashing a toxic energon gas into the atmosphere. Unicron next pushed Galvatron to use the planet's systems to propel Cybertron towards Alpha Q's planets. {{storylink|Galvatron!}} {{storylink|The Omega Train}}

At some point in time, a virtual copy of Unicron appeared in an Autobot "virtual training program" as a special opponent for Hot Shot and Rodimus to battle after defeating all other contenders. Despite this copy being scaled-down to be about the same size as his opponents, he proved to be a formidable foe. The Autobots nonetheless defeated him, winning the <s>video game</s> training exercise. {{storylink|Distribution}}

Optimus beheld a vision of Unicron as looked upon an energon gas-envelopped Cybertron, clueing him in on the fact that Unicron's evil still persisted in some form. {{storylink|Formidable}}

After a series of failed battles, Galvatron proceeded to expose himself to the Super Energon once again, and this time grew to a gigantic height. {{storylink|Galvatron Terror}} Unicron seized control of his body again for a new vessel and set out to rejoin with his Spark, {{storylink|Destructive Power}} but a Primus-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. {{storylink|Spark (episode)|Spark}}

[[File:EnergonUnicronOrbTheSun.jpg|left|thumb|"How could this puny thing be Unicron?"<br/>
—[[Kicker Jones]]]]
Enraged, Galvatron prepared to destroy Unicron's Spark, but it merged with him, enlarging him again, leading to another battle with Optimus Supreme, this time bolstered by the combined energy of all his troops' Sparks. Meanwhile, Primus merged with the Super Energon, creating a foundling sun which arrived at the site of the battle. Taking control of his body for a brief moment, Galvatron made the decision to plunge himself into the infant sun to rid himself of Unicron's possession. The super energon mass, having now received Unicron's spark, ignited into a powerful red sun which gave new life to Alpha Q's worlds. {{storylink|The Sun}}

[[File:Unicronsingularity.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|The cause of—and solution to—all of our continuity problems.]]

Primus's plan to trap Unicron in the heart of a new sun failed when the star collapsed into a massive [[Unicron Singularity|black hole]] (sometimes known as the "Unicron Singularity") that threatened the entire multiverse. The collapse of the sun also allowed [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Megatron]] to escape, [[Armor of Unicron|but not before integrating what remained of Unicron's body into himself]], increasing his power to nightmarish new heights. {{storylink|Fallen (episode)|Fallen}}

In addition to strengthening the Decepticon leader, the Armor of Unicron apparently gave Megatron access to a few of the Chaos Bringer's reality-warping powers, including the ability to unleash a devastating Energon aura, {{storylink|Starscream (episode)|Starscream}} {{storylink|Showdown (Cybertron)|Showdown}} create new Transformer bodies, upgrade and repair fallen Transformers {{storylink|Darkness (episode)|Darkness}}, and tap into the power of the [[Cyber Planet Key]]s. {{storylink|Revelation (episode)|Revelation}} {{storylink|Fury (Cybertron)|Fury}} The Decepticon leader's newest plan also held hints of the dark god's old agenda, as he intended to use the Keys to accelerate the black hole's growth and destroy the entire universe (albeit with the intent to remake it in his image afterwards).

Unfortunately for Unicron and Megatron (who again upgraded into Galvatron), the black hole would be sealed away by Primus himself after the Autobots restored his full power. {{storylink|End}} The Armor of Unicron would be overwhelmed and destroyed along with its wearer in a final battle with Optimus Prime, wiping away the last traces of Unicron from the universe. {{storylink|Unfinished}}

From interdimensional space, [[Vector Prime]] observed the Autobots and Decepticons attacking and defeating Unicron. When Unicron collapsed into the [[Unicron Singularity]], [[Vector Sigma]] alerted Vector Prime to the spatiotemporal crisis threatening Cybertron. Vector Prime thus returned to normal space for the first time in millions of years to aid his homeworld. {{storylink|Vector Prime: In the Beginning}}

During the crisis, Unicron's heralds [[Ramjet (Universe)|Ramjet]] and Nemesis Prime arrived on [[Aurex 405.0 Epsilon|that universe]]'s nearly deserted Cybertron. They were intent on unleashing the [[Dead Matrix]] upon Primus's vulnerable essence—as the Matrix was the antithesis of Unicron, so too would the Dead Matrix ensure the destruction of Primus, thereby totally destabilizing the multiverse and reducing it to a sea of entropic chaos. For the first time, it would be possible for Unicron to strike at Primus in all realities simultaneously, ending their cosmic feud once and for all. {{storylink|Balancing Act, Part 2}}

[[File:Unicroncybertron.jpg|upright=0.85|left|thumb|The Planet-Eater's back, and you're gonna be in trouble.]]
Ramjet and Nemesis Prime were ultimately stopped by Vector Prime and allies [[Sentinel Maximus]] and [[Omega Prime]], plucked from the midst of the [[Universe War]] by the multiverse-warping energies of the black hole. {{storylink|Revelations Part 1}} The Dead Matrix, however, was taken by Unicron's servant [[Soundwave (Cybertron)|Soundwave]] and cast into the heart of the black hole, freeing Unicron's spark, which entered the planet [[Yst]] and immediately began to sow chaos and disorder. Re-energized by the hatred and violence than ran rampant on Yst, Unicron formed a new, diminutive body for himself, born into the universe when Yst exploded. {{storylink|Revelations Part 3}}

In the distant past, the planet [[Earth]] formed around the inert body of Unicron. On [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], Unicron was known as the planet's ancient enemy. A book that would eventually come to be held in the Trinity Library spoke of Unicron being the core of Earth.

Somehow the Cybertronian sorceress [[Quintessa (TLK)|Quintessa]] had discovered Unicron's resting point and hit on a plan to restore Cybertron by draining the life from Unicron to revive the planet. To this end, she sent [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] to retrieve [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] from Earth while she moved Cybertron into Earth's orbit. The Prime however crash landed on Cybertron as it entered the Sol system where Quintessa explained the truth behind Earth's origins to Optimus before brainwashing him into "Nemesis Prime" and sending him back to the planet to reclaim a staff she needed to revive Cybertron.

Cybertron's entry into the solar system caused Unicron's six horns to sprout on the Earth as he reacted to the presence of Primus. Growing at a rate of three meters a day, the horns were a sign of a great scientific curiosity and mass panic across the globe. [[Edmund Burton|Sir Edmund Burton]] and [[Cogman]] recognized the horns for what they were and took them as a sign of the apocalypse.

At Stonehenge, Quintessa and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]] began the ritual and sent Unicron's life force to Cybertron before the Autobots and the TRF halted their efforts. Enough of Unicron's life force had been sent to Cybertron however that it had healed most of its damage to the point that the Autobots felt they were able to return to their homeworld.

In the aftermath, several human scientists were examining one of Unicron's horns only to be approached by Quintessa in a human guise. She warned them against touching the horn lest they incur Unicron's wrath but offered them a way to kill the Chaos Bringer. {{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}

His sheer might scared them. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.6|#6's Law and Disorder}} They knew that [[fandom|you]] wanted to see Unicron in the third film and it sickened them. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.13|#13's Law and Disorder}}

[[File:Unicron Titan19.JPG|left|upright=1.1|thumb|"The psoriasis is barely slowing him down!"]]
In an alternate timeline where Megatron won the battle of Mission City, [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]] and his Decepticon chums attempted to rebirth Cybertron by sending out a summons that would attract any entity related to the lost [[AllSpark]], and then drawing that entity into Cybertron once it arrived.

As that entity announced itself to be '''"Unicron the Anti-Life!"''', they felt like a right bunch of plonkers. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 18|Return to Cybertron: Part 2}}

Unicron moved swiftly, transforming Cybertron into a scarier looking physical form and causing the planet's surface to becoming hostile to the Transformers on it. Stockade's attempts at communication were met with contempt and a strange attack. The new Unicron then warped into the Sol system, shot down an Autobot shuttle, and went "OM NOM NOM" at the sight of Earth. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}}

The downed Autobots regrouped with Stockade's Decepticons and worked to take away the [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]] that was powering Unicron's physical form. They succeeded in this by causing it to blow up and catch fire, which caused Unicron to draw on more Nucleon to recover, which fueled the fire and so on until the source ran out. Unicron disappeared, though whether he was dead or just gone is ambiguous. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

Either way, the changes Unicron had made to Cybertron remained. The teleportation equipment he'd created was used by the Autobots to finally end the war. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part Three}}

[[Multiversal singularity|Multiversal singularities]] did not exist in the [[Malgus|Malgus Cluster]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/05/29}} [[Malgus 1207.26 Alpha]] had one such non-singular Unicron, built by [[Primacron]] in his laboratory on [[Protos]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/10}}

[[Vector Prime]] noted UniKREON to be another instantiation of the Dark Lord Unicron and part of the multiversal singularity. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/10}}

UniKREON was among the evil [[Kreon]]s summoned by [[Megatron (Kre-O)|Megatron]] to conquer the [[Legends World]]. {{storylink|Transformers Legends Special Chapter|Special Chapter}}

==''Knights of Unicron''==
Legendary super rockers the [[Knights of Unicron (band)|Knights of Unicron]] named themselves in honor of this demonic entity. The Sinister Tympanic Membrane (the left eardrum), located on "Planet Unicron", was also the eleventh venue for the band on their 2014 "Till All Are One" tour. {{storylink|Knights of Unicron (band)|Knights of Unicron}}

===Ask Vector Prime===
Vector Prime considered it distasteful that the [[Knights of Unicron (band)|Knights of Unicron]] would name themselves after something that was very much not a joking matter. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/05/13}}

==''Shattered Glass''==
{{main|Unicron/Shattered Glass}}

This is the '''''good''''' Unicron. Hard to believe, right?

==Ask Vector Prime==
[[Vector Prime]] noted that the non-Singularity Unicron of [[Primax 984.17 Alpha]] or [[Viron 704.08 Gamma]] would not be able to defeat Darth Vader's Death Star mech of [[Lukas 577.25 Beta]] in battle. {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The Complete AllSpark Almanac|Ask Vector Prime, The Complete AllSpark Almanac}}

In many universal streams, the local iteration of [[Primacron]] built his universe's version of Unicron, one that was typically not part of the singularity. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/05/22}} Two such instances included [[Primax 984.17 Alpha]] and [[Malgus 1207.26 Alpha]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/10/06}}

Vector Prime noted that most [[Quadwal]] universes were not in danger of being consumed by Unicron as most [[Unicron/toys|Quadwal Unicrons]] were small and made of [[plastic]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/22}}

Vector Prime was unsure if the number of universes destroyed by Unicron was a quantifiable number as once Unicron consumed a universe, little remained to prove that it ever existed. However, some destroyed universes, such as [[Primax 703.09 Gamma]], lived on the memory of interdimensional travelers who had visited the universe prior to its destruction. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/26}}

==''GoBots''==
While on an inter-dimensional mission to [[Primax 207.0 Epsilon]]'s Earth in [[Primax -408.24 Epsilon]], the [[GoBot]] [[Small Foot]] had a vision in which Unicron devoured her allies, plunging them into an eternal abyss. {{storylink|High Noon (SG)|High Noon}}

After the Autobots defeated the Decepticons on [[Earth]] and had secured the majority of the Mini-Cons there, Unicron made his appearance above Cybertron, intent on destroying the planet. Optimus Prime's team of Autobots and the Mini-Cons returned home via a warp gate to see the Chaos Bringer unleash a wave of destruction upon the great cities of their planet. The Mini-Cons joined together to form the [[Matrix Cannon]], the [[Vanguard Booster]] and the [[Nemesis Shield]] for the Autobots to use against Unicron. The Autobots flew into Unicron's maw and blasted their way into his energy core, damaging it enough to send Unicron spiralling out of control and destroying him. {{storylink|Transformers (PS2)|Transformers}}

===''Transformers Energon: Battle for Megatron''===
In his attempts to stop Scorponok and the other Terrorcons from retrieving Megatron, held deep within Unicron himself, the Chaos Bringer dispatched many units acting as his automated defenses. Among these were Pods, weak individually but strong in numbers; Tentacle Pods, more advanced versions of the previous units possessing ranged attacks; slow moving but strong Tendril units; heavily armored Spiderbot units; and immobile but powerful Shocktowers. A final unit, The Cortex, held Megatron captive. Once The Cortex was destroyed, Megatron was released and Unicron was defeated. {{storylink|Transformers Energon: Battle for Megatron}}

==Notes==
*The [[Unicron Trilogy]], the series of Transformers franchises that includes ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|Armada]]'', ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'', and ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (franchise)|Cybertron]]'', was so named by Hasbro designer [[Aaron Archer]] because of Unicron's importance in each story.
*[[Roberto Orci]] was interested in having Unicron in the then untitled ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Transformers 3]]''.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-just-movie-31/ask-roberto-orci-roundup-january-14---mythology-money-shots-jolt-military-and-bringing-chaos-166603/ Ask Roberto Orci Roundup January 14 - Mythology, Money Shots, Jolt, Military, and Bringing Chaos]</ref>
*Unicron has the ability to create [[tainted world]]s, but none have yet been discovered.
*The animated film and the following season of the cartoon are extraordinarily consistent about Unicron never actually moving his mouth while speaking, suggesting his voice may be ''broadcast'' as opposed to physically produced.
**Armada similarly features a lack of mouth movement, however, he DOES move it while speaking once.
**''Transformers: Prime'' features another exception, with Unicron actually speaking with his mouth more often.
*UniKREON's appearance in the ''Legends'' comic is drawn like a [[Kre-O#2015 (Robots In Disguise/Generation 1)|Battle Changer]]-type [[Kreon]] in order to make him larger than the average Kreon. His construction appears to be specifically based on [[Bumblebee (G1)/toys#BattleChangers|Battle Changers Bumblebee]]'s, and he also wears Bumblebee's helmet.

Hulk

2018-03-09T22:40:01Z

Anicomicgeek: Ron Perlman also voiced the Hulk.

:''Hulk is a character from the [[Marvel Comics|Marvel]] portion of the [[Transformers: Crossovers|Crossovers]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:CrossoversHulkArt.jpg|thumb|325px|MEN KILLED BAMBI'S MOTHER!!]]
The '''Hulk''' is a very angry man. A big green fellow literally fueled by unstoppable rage, notable for having no upper limit on his superhuman strength, which grows as he gets angrier. Most people would be satisfied with him causing property damage purely on an infantry level. Not [[Mister Fantastic]], though. No, Mr. Fantastic has instead encased this furious, really quite angry guy in a mechanized suit of transforming armor encased in plates of the same indestructible material as [[Captain America]]'s shield. As if this weren't an impressive, indeed inexplicable enough achievement, Mr. Fantastic has likewise fortified the mech's cockpit with hydraulic joint flexors, to allow the machine to absorb the Hulk's frantic thrashings and allow his battle suit to literally become stronger as its pilot grows angrier.

Some people might think this is overkill, but they're not Mr. Fantastic. Mr. Fantastic is a ''genius''.

:Hulk transforms from a big, green, shirtless man into a fanciful tank. The "mech mode" in the promo picture at right is incompletely transformed; the "wheel panels" of his shoulders should be rotated 90 degrees around his biceps, relative to the "tread panels". It also appears his shins have not been extended.

:He also has one tiny point of battle damage, a crater on one of the front tank tread covers. Apparently Hulk has been shot... once.

:This mold also served as the basis of the non-toy ''[[Beast Wars: Uprising]]'' incarnation of [[Apelinq (BM)|Apelinq]].

*'''Hulk''' (Marvel, [[2010]])
:A new mold Hulk toy, which transforms into a bulldozer. His [[bio]] pointed out the absurdity of Reed Richards giving the Hulk an indestructible battlesuit that turns into a tank. The robot head on this mold is a slight repaint of the head of the first Hulk toy.

:This mold was to be retooled to make the [[Thing]], though it seems reasonable that this toy was designed with Thing in mind. This can be supported by numerous Thing-like crack details sculpted on various parts of the robot mode as well as a blank cylinder molded into his waist which looks as if it were intended to have a Fantastic 4 logo sculpted into it, much like the one on [[Human Torch]]. The figure was likely changed to Hulk at some point in development due to him being a more popular character than Thing.

:This figure has an assembly error where his feet are on the wrong legs.

==Notes==
* The Hulk was featured on the cover of [[Heavy Traffic!|''Transformers'' #22]], celebrating Marvel Comic's 25th anniversary.
* According to ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Machines]]'' DVD commentary by Story Editor [[Bob Skir]], [[Tankor (BM)|Tankor]] is influenced by the Hulk.
* The creators of ''[[Transformers Animated (cartoon)|Transformers Animated]]'' likened [[Lugnut (Animated)|Lugnut]] to the Hulk, while [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] was likened to the [[Thing]].
* The Hulk had a pre-''Crossovers'' transforming robot toy in the Toy Biz ''Marvel Megamorphs'' line (back before [[Hasbro]] had the Marvel license), which used the scrapped design for ''[[Transtech]]'' [[Immorticon (TransTech)|Immorticon]] as its base. Why? Because [[Draxhall Jump]] worked on both ''Transtech'' and Megamorphs''.
* [[Peter Cullen]] voiced The Hulk in ''[[Spider-Man]] and his Amazing Friends'', [[Rick Wasserman]] voiced Hulk in ''Planet Hulk'', [[Peter Lurie]] voiced Hulk in ''Marvel Ultimate Alliance'', [[Travis Willingham]] voiced Hulk in ''The Super Hero Squad Show'', [[Ron Perlman]] voiced Hulk and Bruce Banner in the 1990s ''[[Iron Man]]'' and ''[[Fantastic Four]]'' cartoons, and [[Fred Tatasciore]] has voiced the Hulk in...pretty much everything else from ''The Ultimate [[Avengers]]'' onward.
