It was with this telling that we learned that Unicron predated thecurrent universe, and had destroyed the previous universe which existed before the current one. Writer Simon Furman incorporated the various aspects of the Dreamwave comics story, some elements of the Fleer storyline and his original Marvel Comics origin to create what is now essentially the "definitive" origin for Unicron. The player must chase Unicron as he orbits around Cybertron and enter his maw as he prepares to fire, blasting him with the Matrix Cannon until eventually Unicron is destroyed. Plunging himself into Unicron's maw and allowing Optimus to escape alive, Galvatron ended the hatred, and in a mighty flash, Unicron vanished without a trace although at the end of the series he was shown orbiting an unknown planet. To battle him, The One gave Primus this power also, but Primus opted to remain in planet mode, and passed the transforming abilities on to thirteen robots that he created from himself; the first Transformers. Death's Head then aided Rodimus Prime, projecting his mind into Unicron's where they battle, until Unicron's head was destroyed by explosives, and his essence was sealed within the Matrix. arrive in the same universe as the primacon Unicron). 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. Refused help by his former leader, Thrust was crushed to death. However, Welles' baritone tones also made Unicron a classic evil villain. 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. The brothers Primus/Unicron backstory has evolved and been rewritten a number of times since it first originated in theMarvel Comicsseries. Who is Optimus Primal? TheTransformers Primeiteration of Unicron depicts him as the center of Earth, making him a planet with sustainable life, though it has not been seen if Unicron wishes to consume other planets like his other incarnations. In "Revelations, Part 2", whenOptimus Primewas called to another dimension to fight Unicron's heralds, he reflected back on the final battle between Primus's forces and Unicron's army - where Unicron would have suddenly disappeared, his existence ended by the black hole created by his defeat inTransformers: Energon. Primal Scream. Events proceeded to play out basically as described above, though the role of the Light and Dark Gods would diminish with each subsequent retelling of the story, until the current version, in which Primus and Unicron are alone, and have a unique origin. As the war between Unicron and Primus went on, Primus realized that he was no match for his brother in combat. The black hole itself has begun to devour space and time, unravelling historical events and building new ones. Bad news for Prime in the future? After performing a "test run" on the moon of Protos, where he successfully created twelve transforming robotic beings, Covenant he birthed from his own body a group of thirteen robots that possessed the ability to change shape, like Unicron. This time, they succeeded, and Megatron directed Unicron's body to retrieve his head, extinguishing the Energon Sun and killing Alpha-Q in the process. Starscream's ghost spun a lie that claimed Unicron had destroyed him (Unicron's planet mode was seen inStarscream's fabricated flashback), and when the mysterious alien race known as theVokdirectly communicated withMaximalleaderOptimus Primal, they searched his mind for an image that he would fear and respect, found Unicron and took the form of his head. Taking the nameShokaract, this villain seems to have become one with Unicron himself, with the pair of them laying waste to Shokaract's Cybertron and the rest of the universe. Conversely, Unicron played a large role in the two Japanese-exclusive animatedBeast Warsseries,Beast Wars IIandBeast Wars Neo. However, several references were made to consumption, so he may indeed perform the action. Oh, how convenient! Unicron would be a WMD created by the people of the planet Primacron to destroy another planet inhabited by people they have been at war with for millenia. 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. In theBinaltechsaga, the futureRavageseen inBeast Warsalters theoriginal G1 timeline. It failed, due to a combined strike byProwl's Autobots andShockwave'sDecepticons, with the Fallen being killed byPrimushimself. However, Unicron turned upon Primacron, deciding thathewould rule the universe and subsequently setting out to achieve that goal. According to legend, at the beginning of time, Unicron and Primus battled each other for eons, with neither side remaining victorious for long. InTransformers: The Movie, Unicron's height appears to be anywhere from several kilometers (as when handling Galvatron) to several hundred kilometers (as when attacking and destroying Lithone and Cybertron's moons, and attackingCybertron). He arrived at Megatron's old fortress of Darkmount, where he fought four Autobots. He was powerful but lacked the healing abilities the unicron trilogy unicron had, as the dinobots were able to damage him. Before the dawn of time, he is known as the bringer of chaos, lord of the undead and one of the main sources of evil in the entire universe and the very source of Dark Energon itself. Before the Primus/Unicron mythos reached its present form it went through several distinct versions in the Marvel Generation 1 comics and elsewhere. Thus, he aligned himself with Sideways and, by extension, Unicron. In response to this,PrimusandAlpha Trionresurrected and reformattedOptimus Primalto lead the fight against the evil Unicron. 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.

NEXT:5 Decepticons Most Loyal To Megatron (& The 5 Most Treacherous). To stop this physical destruction, Primus shifted the battle to the astral plane, where he fared little better, forcing himself into what seemed to be a sacrifice play - in shifting the battle back to the physical universe without time to properly generate their energy forms, Primus entrapped both himself and Unicron in two barren asteroids. Vector Prime then created a time loop around Unicron to keep him in stasis and prevent him from ever awakening. With the aid of other Transformers from across time and space, the Covenant succeeded in defeating Shokaract, and the Dark Essence of Unicron was drawn back into time, erasing Shokaract's timeline. While the original Starscream was somewhat anti-heroic in Armada, in Energon and Cybertron he becomes a straight-up villain, serving as a secondary antagonist. The toy of Unicron in theCybertronseries is the size of a deluxe class Transformer toy and transforms into a Cybertronian tank instead of a planet. The first time we ever heard the Primus/Unicron backstory was in the UK comic continuity, from Unicron himself, in the story Legacy of Unicron, when he recounted it to Death's Head. That version of Unicron is the one mainstream fans are most familiar with, voiced by acting icon, Orson Welles. Hook didn't last much longer, being destroyed by an awakened Primus. He passed away while Haslab created this dream. Unfortunately, Megatron's spark, also inside, interfered and the sun collapsed, trapping Unicron's spark inside (bridging it between other universes). Both brothers were multiverse singularities, unique in all realities, but whereas Unicron could only exist in one dimension at a time, moving between them at will, Primus existed simultaneously in all realities at once. Per Unicron's telling of events, he was a primal force of evil at the dawn of the universe, who led a legion of Dark Armies against his mortal foe, Primus, Lord of the Light Gods (note the plural). Unicron's head was seen one last time as Primacron's new creation had crippled Cybertron. They were brothers sent to explore the universe together. Primus found out his brother was filled with evil and created the transformers to help defend and fight Unicron. In the first use of this timeline, in the mega-serial,Target: 2006, Galvatron travelled back in time in an attempt to escape the control of Unicron, but Unicron was able to ensnare the minds of three Autobots - Hot Rod,KupandBlurr- and send them back in time after him to foil his plot. Unicron made a cameo appearance in the secondG.I. WebThe One existed before time itself, witness to the birth of the universe. The third season ofThe Transformersanimated series continued Unicron's story from where the movie left off, as the planet-eater's deactivated head settled into orbit aroundCybertron, a grisly monument to the moons he had destroyed. 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. Until, that is, Primus created the Thirteen. This telling is effectively the same as the previous UK story, but mentions that their battle was towards the end of the era of gods, that Primus and Unicron were the last of their respective pantheons, and Primus had to defeat Unicron before he could take his place with the other gods in the "Omniversal Matrix".

In this story, the black hole contains Unicron's essence and also links him simultaneously to all Cybertrons across the Multiverse giving him the potential to wipe out Primus in one fell swoop. The plan was that the Autobots would have to face Unicron unaided, and the Decepticons would then be able to return and conquer whoever prevailed. Ultimately, they did little damage, and many Transformers died, before Optimus Prime was able to use the Matrix to destroy Unicron, exploding his body from within. Unlike the destructive, chaos-loving Unicron, Primus is a lover of order and creation. Unicron proved to be Welles's final role, as he died a few days after completing work on the project; rumors persist that Welles did not complete recording of all his lines, and thatLeonard Nimoyfilled in for him, but the film's voice directorWally Burrand actressSusan Blurefute the claim. 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.

It is suggested, in fact, that the two brothers embody the basic concepts of reality - good and evil, order and chaos - and that their continued existence is necessary for the stability of the multiverse. Also he had no energy weapons besides his eye beams and mouth fire, Primus was built like a tank with both his cyber key hand cannons, dual shoulder cannons, Leg missiles, and moon chucks. Unicron again appeared as a character in theTransformers: Universecomics by 3H Enterprises, seemingly the same Unicron as seen in Armada. Welcome to Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki. Although the character did not appear inTransformers: Cybertronor its Japanese equivalentTransformers: Galaxy Force, the Hasbro Club comic served to introduce this new version of the Chaos-Bringer.

Many of the latter Energon stories were set inside Unicron himself as Megatron, whoseSparkhad also survived the previous battle, attempted to convince Prime to resurrect him in a new body, with the planet eater seemingly unaware of their actions. Within Unicron's shell, the Spark ofAlpha Q, ruler of Planet Q, which Unicron had consumed in the past, still existed, and from Unicron's body he created theTerrorconsto gather Energon, which he would use to regenerate all the worlds Unicron had devoured. Likewise, Primus is also a "multiversal singularity", but while Unicron is limited in this ability, and can only exist in one reality at a time, travelling between them, Primus co-exists in all realities simultaneously. 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.

His scattered pieces was absorbed by Megatron giving Megatron dark powers and causing him to look like Unicron. The Autobots and Decepticons were able to destroy Unicron, but Cybertron was left in its transformed state and seemingly in the Sol system, as well as continuing to be dead and powerless. Now aware of his old enemy's location, Unicron immediately headed towards Cybertron, but, seeking a herald to sow chaos in his name ahead of his coming, used his formidable powers to send three agents -Hook, Line and Sinker, forward in time to an alternate future version of 2009. WebPrimus is a living planet and deity-entity in the fictional Transformers universe who fought against the Chaos-Bringer Unicron.

Meet the planet-sized evil alien robot known as Unicron. The Transformer race grew, and Primus fell into the realm of legend, with a portion of his power, the Matrix of Leadership, handed down through the generations, serving as the Transformers' ever-present link to their creator. The brothers, therefore, represent the different poles of existence, two sides of the same coin, a conflict from which very existence springs forth. This interpretation of the character is evidenced by the parallel universe spanningTransformers: Universetoyline and convention-exclusive comic books in which the singular Unicron captured Transformers from various alternate realities and pitted them against each other, feeding off the energies released and theTransformers: Cybertroncomic strip in the Transformers Collectors' Club fan magazine, which depicts Unicron's actions in the various realities in a chronological order and claims that Cybertron is the stable heart of the Multiverse.
