The Antillans were once native to the planet Antilla.
Fiction
IDW (2005) continuity
Some twelve million years ago, the Antillan species had developed a technologically advanced civilization; their history would be abruptly truncated when Onyx Prime, seeking to expand the Cybertronian aegis to further his complicated goals, targeted Antilla for Cybertronian conquest. The Antillans fought back, but were unable to match the power of Omega Supreme and his Omega Sentinels. Stranger Eons The First Who Was Named
Realizing that the conflict would only end in the extinction of their species, a desperate scientist constructed a doomsday weapon—one that would destroy all life on Antilla, organic and mechanical alike. When the scientist activated his weapon, it did just that, killing everything on the planet, and corrupting whatever organic life survived into the monstrous Dire Wraiths. Stranger Eons Our Finest Horrified by what his fellow Primes had wrought, Alpha Trion chose to record a different version of events into the history books, claiming that the Cybertronians had only sought to "enlighten" the inhabitants of Antilla, and that the Antillans had fired the first shots in the war. Our Finest
The species' legacy would live on, after a fashion; millions of years later, "Antilla"—now warped and reshaped into the planet-eating Unicron—adopted the countenance of an Antillan upon first assuming his new robot mode. Stranger Eons
Notes
- Optimus Prime #18 presents a rather different appearance for the Antillan soldiers than Unicron; depicting them as two-fingered beings clad in bulky red armor.
