| “ | How foolish, to battle in the name of peace. How absurd. You were programmed for war, Optimus. Without it, you would be just another Autobot. You're exactly the same as Galvatron, except you claim your objective is for peace. How does engaging in war translate as peace? | „ |
| ~ Unicron tries to turn all of Optimus' ideals against him and break him in order to corrupt him to become his new host. |
Unicron is the titular overarching antagonist of the Unicron Trilogy of the Transformers franchise. He is the ultimate Anti-Cybertronian god who ravages the universe, posing a threat to all.
Deeming all existence beneath him, Unicron seeks to destroy space itself so he can be the only being left in existence. Through that, Unicron fills beings with hate with all the manipulations he will instill. He is the creator of the Mini-Cons and the former master of Thrust and Sideways.
He was voiced by Mark Acheson and when possessing Megatron, he was voiced by Megatron's voice actor, David Kaye.
Personality[]
Unicron is a sadistic and egotistical being who will do unspeakable things and doing deeds out of his own black heart of evil while refusing to listen to his white heart of good. His main motive in life is that he deems all existence to truly be below and finds the creations of Primus to be insulting to him. Due to that, Unicron takes immense sadistic relish who goes on a guise on needing hate and destruction for sustenance to mastermind destructive conquests and the deaths of billions of lives solely for the kicks, having the very ability to restore all the planets he destroyed but doesn't because he could.
He also calls Optimus out for his hypocrisy solely for the sake of breaking his spirit and turning his ideals against him, while manipulating him to fight Galvatron and garner enough hatred to revive him. It ultimately proves Unicron's intentions to corrupt hundreds of beings and fill them with hate to stroke his own ego, such as escalating the Autobot and Decepticon war to greater heights.
Biography[]
Transformers: Armada[]
Unicron served as the overarching antagonist of Transformers: Armada, where he was defeated by the Autobot warrior Omega Supreme during the past. Following his defeat, Unicron hid himself in plain sight of the Transformers, disguised as the moon of their home planet Cybertron. He was also revealed to be the creator of small robots known as Mini-Cons, as he intends to re-energize himself by using the Mini-Cons to feed off the hatred that the Autobots and Deceptions showed to each other during the war on Cybertron.
However, several human children (who were dispatched from the 21st century) caused an interference that led the Mini-Cons to develop sentience within themselves and lay dormant for millions of years. Following the Mini-Cons' awakening, Unicron took the opportunity to heighten the conflict between the Autobots and Decepticons. He also created a new being known as Sideways to serve as his agent with the purpose of fanning the hatred between the two factions. Following the fourth season, Sideways was able to obtain all three Mini-Con weapons (the Star Saber, Requiem Blaster and Skyboom Shield) to reactivate Unicron, shedding off his lunar disguise and revealing his true form to the universe.
Unicron charges his most powerful weapon towards cybertron(offscreen).
With the threat of Unicron at hand and Starscream is destroyed by Unicron after telling Galvatron and his men to join forces with the Autobots, the Autobots and Decepticons are forced to enter an alliance together to fight against Unicron, who fights back while transforming into robot mode. As Optimus Prime, Galvatron and the human kids enter into Unicron's body to free the Mini-Con weapons, Unicron addressed them through Sideways's form, absorbing all but Optimus into his collective consciousness and bringing the Mini-Cons back under his control. However, the kids were able to convince the Mini-Cons to free themselves from Unicron's control, deactivating him and freeing the Mini-Con weapons.
With the threat of Unicron seemingly over, Galvatron entered into a final battle with Optimus, but they both soon realize that hatred of each other is stirring Unicron back to life. Realizing his mistake, Galvatron plunges himself into Unicron's maw, destroying Unicron for good.
Transformers: Energon[]
Unicron appeared again as the overarching antagonist in Transformers: Energon, where it turned out that he has survived his defeat and continued consuming more planets. However, several inhabitants of a planet known as Planet Q were able to defeat Unicron by setting their planet's core to explode on Unicron's face, sending him to a state of dormancy. Despite being defeated, Unicron's life essence passed on to the planet's ruler Alpha Q, corrupting him and having him to recreate armies of Terrocons.
As Galvatron managed to revive himself by having his spark remain inside Unicron and reverts to his old name Megatron. Alpha Q was forced to escape, leaving Megatron to round up the Decepticons of his new plan to revive Unicron and take over the universe. To that end, the Decepticons manage to raid Alpha Q's planets of enough Energon to successfully revive Unicron to his powerful form. With that in mind, Megatron directs himself to Unicron's head, extinguishing the Energon Sun and killing Alpha Q in the process. However, Unicron's power proved to be too powerful for Megatron to control, and Megatron ends up being controlled by Unicron.
Unicron proceeds to battle against the Autobots, but Optimus (being enhanced with the power of Primus) manage to defeat him and free Galvatron from Unicron's control, encasing Unicron's spark into a sphere. An angry Galvtron attempts to destroy Unicron's spark, but it soon merged with him again, much to his horror. Meanwhile, Primus merged with the Super Energon to create a new sun which arrived at the site of the battle. In a brief moment of conscience, Galvatron decides to plunge himself into the infant sun to rid himself of Unicron's possession. The super energon mass, having now received Unicron's spark, ignited into a powerful red sun which gave new life to Alpha Q's worlds.
Transformers: Cybertron[]
Although Unicron doesn't appear in Transformers: Cybertron, he left a huge presence of his darkness in the series after his death. Primus had attempted to trap Unicron forever in the heart of the new sun, but failed to do so after it collapsed, turning it into a massive black hole, known as the "Unicron Singularity", consuming every planet on its path. The collapse of the sun also allowed Galvatron to escape alive, as well as upgrading himself with Unicron's remains into an armor, which gave him the ability to warp through reality, a devastating Energon aura, an ability to create new Decepticons, upgrade and repair fallen comrades and tap into the power of the Cyber Planet Keys. It is also revealed that Unicron's actions towards Galvatron has already twisted the latter to share the same goals as Unicron's, particularly using the Cyber Planet Keys to accelerate the black hole's growth and destroy the entire universe, as well as recreating it in his own image afterwards.
However, this plan failed after the Autobots, as well as several reformed Decepticons, successfully restored Primus' full power, and Galvatron ends up being destroyed in his final battle against Optimus Prime, destroying the last traces of Unicron forever.
