Untite

Untite is a Predacon from the Generation 1 continuity family.

Eternally ravenous for the corpses of his fellow Transformers, Untite (アンタイト Antaito) is a hyena Cyborg Beast who's found the perfect niche at the end of the universe. His fixation on the dead isn't limited to eating them—he can also control them.

Fiction

End of G1 Universe

Untite was created as a Cyborg Beast who could only eat the dead by Unicron.

Eons later, Untite used a dead Earth as his personal buffet due to the amount of Transformer battles that took place on it throughout history. It was there he smelled the body of Leo Prime brought to the planet by Bluebolt. Summoning an undead Seeker to restrain the Maximal, Untite approached the lion to eat him, only to be repelled by the ritual Bluebolt already set in place; the body was revived as the new being Dark Amber Leo Prime, who Untite initially took to be Unicron himself. Dark Amber was unsure as to his identity, leading Untite to conclude that he could kill and consume this newly born being to gain greater power. Untite managed to severely wound Dark Amber with his "Genocide Cutter", but the black lion was able to recover by consuming some dirt—it being a part of the planet and sustenance for a planet eater, after all—and took down the Seeker to Untite's consternation.

Notes

• Untite is a virtual redeco of Beast Wars Jawbreaker, with the mold's Transmetal 2 design being repurposed to be a Cyborg Beast.
• We could not tell you with certainty what Untite's name is supposed to mean. Our best guess is that it is a portmanteau of "undead" and "appetite".
