The One, also known as the Source,[1] the sentient core of the universe,[2] or G One (ジ·ワン Ji Wan) if ya nasty,[3] is an extradimensional entity from before time, in whom Order and Chaos exist in perfect harmony. It created Unicron (boo!), then cut him in half to make Primus (yay!).
Fiction
Marvel The Transformers comics
After the Big Bang, the sentient core of the universe noticed that Unicron was eating everything, and so it birthed Primus to destroy him. The Void! It promised that Primus could return to his reserved place within the Omniversal Matrix once he was victorious. Primal Scream
DK Ultimate Guide
The One existed before time itself, witness to the birth of the universe. The One was curious about this new realm and created a new being, Unicron, to explore it. For some reason, The One then split its creation in two, one half still being Unicron while the other became Primus. In keeping with their creator's nature as a perfect balance of Order and Chaos, the twin "exploratory heralds" became the embodiments of those two principles, but separated. Transformers: The Ultimate Guide
Wings Universe
When Landshark's boring mission aboard the Eight Track was cut short due to complications at home, he quietly thanked the One. Wings of Honor
During an Elite Guard mission briefing, Alpha Trion noted that all Transformers believed that the One—or the Ones—created them equal. Flames of Yesterday
Side Burn swore by the One when he suddenly regained his memory. A Flash Forward, Part 6
The AllSpark Almanac
The Core was one of ten figures that made up the Cybertronian zodiac. Its associated aspect was "unity" and assigned orbital cycle was Chōkoneon. Its constellation forms a familiar spiral. The AllSpark Almanac II
Ask Vector Prime
Vector Prime also speculated that it might have been the Source who tried but did not very well stabilize the network of universal streams centering around Primax 785.06 Alpha after MegaZarak shattered the stable axis of the system, resulting in this incredibly convoluted thing. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/22
Precursor World
In the beginning was G One. Emanating from G One were the Seven Lights, fundamental forces of the primordial multiverse. Finale 1
G One tasked Oracle with the safekeeping of those lights, gifting him a shell of Golden Power to protect his core Angolmois Energy form. Finale 2
To that end, Oracle, taking the name "Primus," founded the Primus Vanguard. A statue of G One, now called The One, was erected in the inner sanctum of the Vanguard's headquarters.
When Primus' soldier Black Go Prime expressed misgivings about using the Black Light of Time to scry a way to defeat the Vok menace threatening their universe, a heated Primus cited his appointment by The One.
Primus later threw himself upon The One's statue, broken by terrible knowledge of the future just as Black had feared, and begged his old mentor's spirit for guidance. Finale 1
Much, much, later, after the dissolution of Primus' Vanguard and the capture of Oracle by the traitorous Straxus twins, the young Blue Order warrior Magna Convoy paid his respects beneath the same statue. Cybertron Magna Convoy prequel comic
Later still, Bludgeon remarked to an impassive agent of Primus that The One's Seven Lights had passed to a new generation as they monitored a motley collection of misfits across the multiverse. Cybertron Magna Convoy
Notes
- The One's method of creating Primus from the substance of Unicron mirrors Primus's creation of the Transformers, whose sparks are fragments of his own being. This process was explored in slightly more detail in Simon Furman's apocryphal text story "Alignment".
- He seems to be kinda similar to this guy. No known relation between the two, though.
- The One's method of splitting off portions of its lifeforce has a strong correspondence with Emanationism, specifically the Gnostic flavor, wherein an all-powerful God known as "The One" responds to the unresolvable conflicts in the world by "emanating" polarized aspects of itself to fight them out until they achieve resolution and then return to enlighten The One with their findings.
- The statue representing The One in the headquarters of the Primus Vanguard is a repurposing of "Giant Robo G-1", an unreleased 1979 Microman toy.[4]
- This is what the name "G One" is about, beyond the obvious.
Foreign names
- Japanese: The One (ザ・ワン Za Wan)
