![]() ![]() As first recounted in " The Legacy of Unicron!", the comic's Unicron was the one of the Dark Gods-in the early days of the universe, he had menaced Primus lord of the Light Gods, and their battle ended with Primus reshaping his body into the metallic planetoid that would one day become Cybertron. Starting in 1988, author Simon Furman established an entirely different backstory for the character, tweaking details as necessary as the storyline evolved. However, the Marvel Transformers comic had incorporated its own version of Unicron into its own universe, entirely separate from the cartoon's goings-on. Subsequent episodes of The Transformers cartoon, set in the same continuity as The Movie, were the first works of Transformers media to fill in these details and craft the first of Unicron's many origin stories: as related in the third season episode " Call of the Primitives", the cartoon's Unicron was created by an alien scientist known as Primacron, but Unicron rebelled against his creator and set out into space alone. The Movie presented Unicron as more of an abstract obstacle than a full-fledged character: it didn't explain what Unicron was, nor where he came from, or any specific reasoning for why Unicron specifically targeted Cybertron. Unicron debuted as the central antagonist of 1986's The Transformers: The Movie, which established him as a monstrously powerful being seemingly only vulnerable to the supernatural energies contained within the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. 15.2 Transformers Energon: Battle for Megatron.4 2001 Robots in Disguise continuity family.Few believed such a thing could be true, until the day we saw Unicron with our own eyes… And in the end, Unicron's plans ultimately call for their consumption as well.Ī vile god so large, so powerful, that it consumes entire planets as fuel. ![]() Service to Unicron, however, is a double-edged sword, for it causes insanity and loss of self. These minions are sometimes stripped entirely of free will, but many others follow willingly. To a being of chaos and uncreation, this font of life is a poison.įrequently, Unicron will make deals with lesser beings, promising them vast new powers in exchange for their servitude. ![]() The only thing that he fears is Primus's essence, contained inside the Matrix of Leadership. For much of multiversal history, the singularity Unicron threatened all of existence, but now, that is no longer the case, and versions of Unicron are now restricted to their own dimensions. Various permutations of Unicron can spawn into existence outside the trappings of the larger entity, hailing from a more mundane origin but possessing the same consumptive traits. Seen at a detached distance from the multiverse, this collective " Unicron Phenomenon" acts with the characteristics of a virus or plague seeping through reality, succeeding where it can, retreating when it cannot. With these abilities at his disposal, Unicron has thus far devoured approximately 22.56% of known universes. Integrated into his systems are incomprehensible quantum computers which calculate probabilities forward and backwards in time, in perpetuity, giving his processors an ever changing, evolving map of the multiverse. ![]() To undertake this seemingly overwhelming task, Unicron is able to travel across realities at will, a meandering plague upon existence itself. Unicron will not be sated until his ultimate goal is attained: to bring an end to the annoying creation boasting independence around him, and find peace by becoming the living center of a swirling, infinite torrent of nothingness at the end of all things. His massive form is powered by the consumption of planets, moons, stars, and even the very fabric of existence. Also known as the Lord of Chaos, the Chaos Bringer, and the Planet Eater, he is dedicated to consuming the multiverse. Unicron is the eternal arch-enemy of his twin brother Primus. He's been ignoring Galactus's C&D letters. ![]()
