The term Unicron's Spawn refers to a secret society formed by those who were created by Unicron, the Dark God and Chaos Bringer. They have infiltrated into many divisions of Cybetron's society in the Beast Era. They are waiting for the right time to wage a war against the Cybertronians, the children of Unicron's enemy Primus, including the Autobots, Decepticons, Maximals, and Predacons. Their ultimate goal is to see the return of their master, Unicron.

Possible Spawn

Trivia

• According to Bob Forward, originally Megatron's line about "Unicron's spawn" was not intended to be fact but, instead, an insult, roughly equivalent to how useless flesh creatures may metaphorically deride each others' parentage. However, the line developed a life of its own, much like Terrorsaur's line about "the darkside". Eventually the connection was reasserted in 3H Productions' Primeval Dawn storyline.

• According to the above, calling someone the "Spawn of Unicron" or any number of variations is a pretty nasty insult in the Beast Era, roughly equivalent to how the useless flesh creatures question each others' parentage.
