Unicron was defeated in his attempt to destroy Cybertron very early in its history, but emanations of his presence remained and were gathered and stored on Trypticon Station. This substance was a violently addictive poison that could pass on to another bot once its user died, and was dubbed the Sparks of Unicron or Dark Energon. Ultimately Megatron achieved what Unicron did not by contaminating the core with Dark Energon, forcing the planet to shut down and reboot. Exodus

According to legend, at the beginning of time, Unicron and Primus battled each other for eons, with neither side remaining victorious for long. Until, that is, Primus created the Thirteen. These Thirteen defeated Unicron and cast him into space.
Over time, matter gravitated towards Unicron's fallen form, eventually forming a planet which found an orbit around a distant star. Prophesies foretold that should a certain planetary alignment occur, gravitational forces would wake Unicron from his slumber. In Optimus Prime's later view, Unicron had likely begun to transcend physical form. One Shall Rise, Part 1
In his three years in space, Megatron discovered the solidified form of Dark Energon, rumoured to be "the blood of Unicron". A worried Starscream referred to Unicron as a legendary "destroyer", and called his blood the "Anti-Spark" as well. Darkness Rising, Part 2 Megatron injected a piece of Dark Energon into himself and announced that he could hear Unicron's thoughts, much to Starscream's concern.Darkness Rising, Part 3
Some time later, as a planetary alignment foretold in a prophecy from the Covenant of Primus was drawing near, Megatron began to see visions of the future brought on by the sliver of Dark Energon that dwelt within his body. In one such vision, Megatron glimpsed the shadowed face of Unicron himself, and claimed that it was as if he could hear Unicron's own thoughts. Knock Out and Airachnid were less than convinced, but kept that fact to themselves. Much to everyone's shock, a volcano near the site of Optimus and Megatron's battle exploded and released a load of Dark Energon from the Earth's core. One Shall Fall
As storms, earthquakes, and volcanoes erupted simultaneously across Earth, the Autobots began to suspect that Earth itself had Unicron as its core, explaining why Dark Energon was expelling from within. Meanwhile, Megatron ordered the Decepticon Miners to mine the Dark Energon that spilled and at the same time he sought Unicron's attention at the maw of a volcano. Megatron presented himself as Unicron's herald and servant, an enemy of the Primes, but Unicron dismissed the Decepticon leader. If Megatron had failed to destroy the last of the Primes thus far on his own, Unicron believed Megatron's help was worthless. Similarly, Optimus Prime sought out Unicron elsewhere, traveling to the area which the Autobots believed to be the strongest epicenter of his consciousness. Unicron formed from a cliffside as a stone likeness of his old body near Optimus, while the Autobot leader made a passioned plea to the Chaos Bringer to spare the planets' inhabitants. Unicron denied Optimus's pleas, as he considered the humans "parasites", and he birthed multiple copies of himself from the landscape that surrounded Optimus Prime. One Shall Rise, Part 1
Optimus, soon joined by his fellow Autobots, blasted his way through increasingly larger Unicron avatars, until finally Unicron produced one even the Autobots couldn't beat. It raised a foot to crush Optimus, only for Megatron to lend a hand by blasting its head off. While the Autobots retreated to base to consider Megatron's plan, the Decepticon leader engaged more of the stone Unicrons, smashing them as fast as Unicron could produce them. Eventually, Megatron disappeared through the Autobot GroundBridge.
A short time later, Megatron and the Autobots used the GroundBridge to reach the core of Earth itself, where Unicron's eye peered around. One Shall Rise, Part 2 As they moved through the interior of the ancient robot, the Autobots and Megatron were attacked by a swarm of flying drones, Unicron's own antibodies. The group fought them until they reached Unicron's spark chamber, and Optimus Prime and Megatron ventured inside. As Optimus attempted to fight off waves of power from Unicron, Megatron was forcibly possessed by the ancient god and set against the Autobot leader. Before Unicron could strike through Megatron, Optimus unleashed the full power of the Matrix on Unicron, overwhelming him, and quite possibly extinguishing his spark. One Shall Rise, Part 3
Much later Agent Fowler was giving a briefing to General Bryce about the Autobots' mission and brought up their encounter with Unicron. Bryce misunderstood and believed Fowler was talking about a unicorn, threatenening Fowler with a psychological evaluation. He relented after the misunderstanding was cleared up. Grill
Awakened by the restoration of Cybertron, Unicron cast around for a new vessel for his anti-spark, and found Megatron's body at the bottom of the ocean. Reconstructing and reviving Megatron, Unicron took possession of his body and flew to Cybertron with the aim of destroying Primus once and for all. He arrived at Megatron's old fortress of Darkmount, where he fought four Autobots. Dissatisfied by his new body's performance in battle, he tracked down Predaking, whom Megatron claimed was a loyal warrior. After a brief fight, Unicron prevailed and learned of the existence of a burial ground of Predacon remains. He used his Dark Energon to revive the Predacons as an army of Terrorcons, and led them across the Hydrax Plateau to the Well of All Sparks. While the Terrorcons poured into the Well, Unicron felt the return of the AllSpark, which Optimus Prime had just brought back to the planet. Unicron easily bested Prime in battle, and obtained the vessel, only to find it empty. The vessel instead drew Unicron's anti-spark into itself, sealing the dark god inside and freeing Megatron from his will. Predacons Rising

The awakening of Unicron from within the Earth sent ripples that echoed into the multiverse, drawing the attention of Lio Convoy in another universe. Travelling across realities, he arrived to find that the Autobots and Decepticons had already defeated Unicron, but elected to remain in this world for a time to safeguard against his potential return. Arms Micron Leo Prime bio Using his ancient sword and the power of his Energon Matrix, Lio Convoy carved up the remains of one of Unicron's rock-and-stone avatars to create the powerful Gaia Armor, severing its link to Unicron himself but allowing it to retain the power of Dark Energon.

Rescue Force Sigma-17 was sufficiently aware of Unicron for Heatwave to remark that Boulder's throwing skills would be insufficient to hit the backside of Unicron with a lobbing ball. Christmas in July

Several years after Unicron was sealed away, Megatronus was freed from his imprisonment and brought to Earth, intending to use his spark fuser to combine the remnants of the Chaos Bringer's Anti-spark in Earth's core with the AllSpark, which would destroy both Earth and Cybertron. Though Megatronus succeeded in drawing out the Anti-spark, he was ultimately thwarted by the efforts of Bumblebee's team, aided by the revived Optimus Prime, and the Anti-spark returned to Earth's core.
