However, Unicron's body was inactive, badly damaged from his previous battle, and ten years after Galvatron's sacrifice a former victim of Unicron chose to strike.

While the Terrorcons poured into the Well, Unicron felt the return of the AllSpark, which Optimus Prime had just brought back to the planet. This concept began with the release of a series ofTransformers: Armadatrading cards byFleer. When Death's Head fought back against Unicron's mental control, however, Unicron rewarded his temerity by revealing the comic book version of his origin. Unicron is mentioned a number of times inTransformers: Prime The Game. In one issue,Soundwavewas dispatched to Cybertron afterRamjetandNemesis Prime's failure. WebStarscream is a copy of the original Starscream, created by Alpha Q, and is secondary antagonist in Energon and Cybertron. Hook didn't last much longer, being destroyed by an awakened Primus. For example, in one of the mini-comic books packed in with the later Armada toys, Unicron is indeed illustrated literally eating an asteroid or moon whole. In return, Unicron sent something into our universe - the near deadOptimus Primeof the parallel universe, who warned them of Unicron's coming before dying. A primal force of evil from the beginning of time, his origins lost to the mists of history, theArmadauniverse's incarnation of Unicron was the embodiment of the darkness and hate that lurks in the hearts of all beings. However, his self-interestmeant hewas exiled from that faction as well. He hopes this will be the first step on a prosperous journey towards being a professional writer. Using these, they were able to make a decisive strike by teleporting the entire Decepticon army to Cybertron, then teleportingCybertronto the far reaches of space. A worried Starscream referred to Unicron as a legendary "destroyer", and called his blood the "Anti-Spark" as well. Press J to jump to the feed. 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. Using the Angolmois to revive their master, the Blentrons were then devoured by the revenant Unicron. Starscream demanded that Unicron restore his own body so that he could complete the required connections; but once Unicron had done so, Starscream, somewhat predictably, double-crossed him and refused to finish the job. Seeking to complete his resurrection, he created theBlendtronsto gather the Angolmois Capsules his life-energy was now sealed in, and then proceeded to possess the lifeless body of Galvatron as a temporary host. Sensing Optimus Prime and the Matrix of Leadership, Unicron revolves to finish the Autobot leader himself using the rocks that hold trace metals comprising his body to creategolemincarnations of himself to personally kill the Autobot. As Unicron slept, the core of this new universe - somehow a sentient being - became aware of Unicron's threat and created a defender to battle his evil -Primus, the lord of light. Attempting to open the Matrix to intimidate Unicron, Galvatron only prompted his transformation into robot mode, and was swallowed by the planet-eater. But even then, given who's telling them the so-called truth, that could very much One ofOptimus Prime's visions of the future showed Mindbender and Unicron as a coming threat - a prophecy that came to pass in the fourth crossover "Black Horizon". Primus = Creator God of Light, Embodiment of Order, and Incarnation of Good Unicron = Creator God of Darkness, Embodiment of Chaos, and Incarnati He was forced to employ servants to do his bidding: Alpha Q and theTerrorcons, who were disgruntled former Decepticons upgraded by Unicron in return for harvesting enough Energon to repower him. RELATED:Transformers: Every Time Megatron Became Galvatron. Although Unicron himself did not appear again, his origin in the animated series was later revealed. But as the Chaos Bringer drifted through space, he eventually attracted space debris around himself that formed into planet Earth, rich with Dark Energon. InThe Transformers: The Movie, Unicron was voiced byOrson Welles. Amazingly, Unicron accomplished this task, wiping out all life, planets, stars and nebulae, even "the stuff of space itself" in the universe and leaving only nothingness and void. We were blown away! Here it is revealed that he had dispatched Scourge at the head of a huge armada ofSweepsto search the galaxy for Cybertron. Taking control of his body for a brief moment, Galvatron once again sacrificed himself in order to stop Unicron, plunging himself into the infant sun, which ignited and gave new life to Alpha-Q's worlds. The first modern retelling of the origins of Primus and Unicron did not come from G1-oriented media, but from a set of Armada trading cards released by Fleer. It turned out that theAngolmois was the spiritual essence of Unicron, and the Blentrons servants of the Chaos-Bringer. He often employs the help ofDecepticonsin his work, and in some stories is considered part of the origin of the Decepticon forces. Jumping at the chance to work with a new cast of characters not involved in the American comics, writerSimon Furmandecided to cannibalize the best elements of the movie and work them into his stories, creating a future universe based on the movie's events, but different from the cartoon. Autobots, Decepticons, and humans have all united in order to stop the threat of Unicron across the multiverse; if Unicron is the threat we're going to see in The Last Knight, both factions of Transformers may have to work together (along with old and new human protagonists) to save the universe. The group fought them until they reached Unicron's anti-spark with Optimus Prime and Megatron ventured inside. Get back to work! [citation needed]This Unicron was voiced byMark Achesonin the U.S., and byKatsumi Chin Japan. Primus was only able to be damaged by Galvatron in his unicron armor while primus was weakened from fighting the black hole ( and this was before he reached his full power, Galv had the omega lock at the time). Like Marvel's similar world-devouring villain Galactus, Unicron tends to employ "Heralds," lesser beings who can execute his will while he bides his time in the shadows. You are indeed where you belong. He had slept peacefully, alone in the void of uncreation that remained, until fragments of the old universe that he had overlooked reacted, causing the Big Bang and birthing the current universe. The MCUs tiniest heroes are kicking off its biggest phase yet, setting up the next several years of storytelling. With Unicron's destruction inEnergon, the collapse of his body resulted in the creation of an enormousblack holewhich, if left unchecked, would consume and destroy everything. In the storyline "The Ultimate Doom", Cybertron appeared to be smaller than Earth's own moon (and by extension, this would indicate Lithone would be too small to be a planet), making Unicron's dimensions in the cartoon harder to define. Unicron was created by The One, to explore the universe as it began. WebThe One existed before time itself, witness to the birth of the universe. 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 onTrypticonStation. Through the events of the story, Optimus Prime learns that the Matrix can destroy Unicron, and he andUltra Magnuslaunch an assault on the giant. 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". (Sounds like an ode to the Death Star, perhaps?) 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. If The Last Knight brings Unicron into live-action, the vocal performance better be on point. The character is mentioned throughout Michael Bays new Transformers film, Transformers: The Last Knight, and the ending sets up the possibility that Unicron could play a large role in future installments of the series (should it continue beyond what Bay has called his final go-around with the characters). Within Unicron's body, Optimus Prime is severely damaged, and although not mortally, he passes the Matrix to Magnus, who completes the mission, and the pair escape as Unicron explodes. Created by Floro Dery, he was introduced in the 1986 animated film The Transformers: The Movie[4] and has since reappeared in Transformers: Armada, Transformers: Energon, Transformers: Cybertron, Transformers: Prime, Transformers: The Last Knight and Atari's 2004 Now a rogue agent, Sideways continued sowing discord before his true, sinister allegiances were revealed he was manipulating both sides into forming the the Star Saber, the Skyboom Shield, and the Requiem Blaster, which combined held the key to reviving Unicron. Primus went on to become the planet Cybertron, and grew new life in the form of Transformers; Unicron eventually learned to transform his planet form into a giant robot form using the energy from consumed planets, and went on to become the scourge of the multiverse. This new origin is part of the G1 timeline laid down by the Ultimate Guide, which is apparently being taken as the "official" G1 timeline for future projects that require it. If Megatron had failed to destroy the last of the Primes thus far on his own, Unicron believed Megatron's help was worthless. Still, he met his fate in battle with Optimus Prime, with his body falling into the maw of a nearby volcano. Copyright 2023 ComicBook.com. After arriving on Earth, Optimus expressed surprise at how much life had sprung up on Unicron's body. Rodimus and several other future Autobots subsequently traveled back in time to 1989 and participated in the "Time Wars", but when they attempted to return to their own time afterward, they discovered that disruptions to the timestream had erased their future, and replaced it with one where the Decepticons ruled Cybertron. Then, when they had reached a sufficient technological level to serve as slaves for Unicron's inner workings, the creatures would call Unicron.
