Props to Starscream for, after his literal disintegration, returns as a ghost, double-crosses a COSMIC ENTITY, and actually SUCCEEDS in getting a new body while Unicron gets the short end of the deal.
No shockwave dident help creat him at all in original cartoons he was around before the transformers ever existed he's the one who brought Megatron back to life and transformed him into gavatraon
My favorite origin story is definitely the Marvel Transformers story, both Primus and Unicron being created by a literal god, which would also make them gods and not just machines that were created
@@TF80s because Gods are always being defeated in other media? It’s now unheard of lmao, and of course they can be taken seriously if you know how to write them, you can always also use other entities and make new characters you know, maybe you should start looking into other stuff and expand your imagination a bit lmaooo
Indeed. The idea Primus couldn't defeat Unicron without vast destruction so tricked him into crashing his spirit into an asteroid and over billions of yeras Unicron formed his monster planet form and Primus into Cybertron and the Transformers a race destined to eventual confront and defeat Unicron.
The first movie was by far my favorite appearance of Unicron, outside of the cosmic destroyer origin. And while I didn’t appreciate it at first since I was around 5 the first time I saw Unicron, having him voiced by Orson Welles was a masterful choice. Just his voice alone was enough to send shivers down your spine.
Loved the idw comic one the most. Also the whole splitting Unicron into multiple non connected versions kind of explains the different versions of him throughout the movies, shows & comics.
My favorite version is the IDW one because it works so well with the theme of the cybertronian history of imperialism haunting future generations. The entire galaxy hated transformers because they were seen like the Reapers from Mass Effect: nigh-immortal aliens of unfathomable power that only exist to muck with lesser life forms. Unicron was teased nearly 13 years before his debut, only to never have really existed. That alien took the form of Unicron in revenge. IDW cybertronians screwed up so bad another civilization manifested their devil.
This video was great! So many different versions of the same primordial badd ass! So many unique tellings! You, my friend, have made my Friday. Thanks!
Unicron was the 1st fictional entity that introduced me to the concept of planet busters and planetary genocide/ omnicide. Not star wars. Transformers.
Awesome video! thank you for all the amazing info about Unicron, he is one of my fave villains , I'd only seen the phenomenal animated movie not the series, so I didn't know much about him. The part where his eyes rolled so he could inside his own head cracked me up! lol keep the good work!
Imagine Optimus uses the matrix to kill Unicron just like rodimus prime did. Then prime says "light our darkest hour" that'll be so cool to see in the live action
Thank you for putting this vid together. I think one of the first transformers figures I had as a kid was a Unicron one and I didn't have much of a handle on the lore then. Plus, I've been out of the transformers loop for... well, forever except the Bay-verse, so having these lore and setting crash-courses is super helpful. Greatly loking forward to that Arcee video, my guy, and thank you for all your research and effort that you put into these information amalgamations (seriously, these vids are very cool)!
Ive read/watched some of these, which im sure most of you have done the same if not every bit. One thing they're never clear on, so far with what Ive seen, is the extent of his powers. He can create or alter life (robotic anyways) like Primus, he has telepathic abilities, "maybe" telekinesis, and here and there he had demonstrated other abilities as well. But he's usually destroyed at the end of a mini series hes involved with, so we never get to see just how powerful he truly is
IDW and Prime versions of Unicron are my favorites. Especially the latter, since it was the first version of the character to turn out to be the Earth, which Bayformers then ripped off.
Unicron being earth was silly IMO. It makes him next to useless compared to his other forms and makes to mucb of the Transformers lore revolve around earth.
How does it make him useless though? Because you simply don’t like the idea and expect him to devour entire planets in robot mode to satisfy your inner child? Earth is the most important planet in the franchise next to cybertron and is a perfect way to explain how cybertronians and their relics keep ending up there. It just seems like your mad the story didn’t go the way you wanted it to
Sad you didnt mention how tf energon basically revolved around post death of unicron and how he wanted to decieve the decepticons into healing his body
Neat to see the different origins. On an sort of unrelated since you mentioned prime optimus i never care for how they made him one of the original 13. Always felt like it took away from who is and his humble beginnings.
I like how Japaneese G1 is the most complex. Like, they have all those universes, Convoys, remember original cartoon and STILL manage to place it in one continuity
Now that Bumblebee is kind of the second protagonist of the franchise next to Optimus, could you do a video on him and what he's done through the generations?
There was a quote in the idw when Unicron was revealed it went like "welcome death. Unicron." Or something like that I might of missed a part of the quote
I could've sworn the Quintessons were involved in at least one origin story for Unicron. Maybe that was just fanon, though? Or maybe it was more geared towards Primus's origin story?
So my Evangelion Headcanon origin: the One/The Source/G One is how Primus remembers the First Ancestral Race, the beings that seeded life across the galaxy with the Moons, Primus Himself being the Seed of Life in the Silver Moon. Primacron was originally a member of this race but was banished due to his tampering with Robotic Lifeforms and creating the impurity that would become Unicron and had his soul placed in the Monkey/Ewok body we see in the show. Eventually the Silver Moon crashed on its intended primordial planet but the impact Broke a piece off, in that instant Primus expelled Unicron into that piece and they formed into Twin Planets around the same sun. Unicron became a Dark Reflection of Primus, all the same godlike power, but no souls or ability to create life. Also, in this headcanon, the Precursor World from the Japanese Generations Selects manga with the Primus Vanguard being the Dream Primus Dreamed before his Moon landed on what would become Cybertron and may or may not be the Afterspark or what they experience after returning to the Well of All Sparks. Also the Specters are the early points of corruption that would become Unicron.
hey dude! idk if you remeber me i did change my username and picture but my name was kaidenbyfield and i had a gun as my pfp i havent been watching ur channel recently until now! and i was so happy to see that youve grown from 6k to 35k subscribers! honestly im so hapy for you dude, realy! in the comment i posted on you video a while back on one of ur vids i said how good ur content was and how i wish u got more credi for ur editing and entertainment skills and boy did that wish come true. i realy think u will go far as a content creator and i have no doubts on that, i wouldnt be suprised if a i checked ur channel again tommorow and saw 100k subs! i wish you all the luck on your carrear, i hope you do well bro seriously.
Im really hoping that movie is succesfull, my fears are because the mivie is 3 HOURS AND 40 MINUTES LONG, NOT EVERYONE LIKES SITING IN A CINEMA THAT LONG, but at least that means the movie is long enough for decepticons and predacons to still make an aperance even though the Trailer didnt Show any of it yet
According to the G1 transformers movie Unicron did escape and had the transformation of a planet then seeks to have revenge on Cybertron who happens to be Primus himself, even though Primus is no longer a cybertronian God, Unicron has the advantage to destroy him Primus as a planet, right?
Guys, What if there was a universe where earth (or the moon maybe?) was Unicron, ok? But Mars was Cybertron! And the reason for all the red and rocky surfaces is because Primus wanted to hide his creations under a thick coat of dirt, rock and rust to keep them safe, while the cybertronians were fighting and stuff. Or something like that?
so your saying the precursor universe is diaclone ? tHATS A GREAT WAY TO DEPIC THE STORY but fereal though what they did to this character was so great they kept him relevant all the way to the beast wars era
I see, so when Megatron called Tarantulas "Unicron spawn" he wasn't kidding. There's a good chance that he's one of the transformers who were forcefully reformatted inside of unicron.
As someone who only knew of the transformers from the movies i had no idea of a this lore. I'm watching all your videos to know everything i can about the transformers
Unicron wasn't done in G1 after the episode "Grimlocks New Brain" centuries later Unicron would return in Beast Wars Neo nearly succeeding in making Cybertron his new body and.corrupting Vector Sigma. It was only Big Convoys Maximals along with an assist from Lio Convoy that was able to stop Unicron.
If Season 4 of the G1 cartoon hadn't ended with "Rebirth". Plans for Season 4 had the Quintessons entering into an alliance with Unicron to rebuild the Chaos Bringer.
I hate the G1 cartoon origin but l don't like the others either. They should have just left his origins unknown in the cartoon as it completely diminished his character by having his creator be a stupid little space monkey...the only good thing about that episode was the uniquely cool artwork & animation style.
Starscream did not take metroplexes transforming Cog for unicron's body he took metroplexes eyes. But they broke one of Metroplex has eyes so they had to go steal a knife from Trypticon then they had to go back and steal triptykon to steal his transforming COG
The trailer ruined the movie excitement for me Made an edit for spoilers Like it would be awesome if they cut out the Unicron bit, so you watch the movie in theatres and then the planet sizes bombshell drops Biggest misopportunities in Paramount's existence.... Or whoever
G1 Unicron's size is an absolute smorgasbord of continuity errors. The Hobby Japan says he is about the size of Jupiter. But he is smaller than Cybertron. And Cybertron in the cartoon is smaller than Earth. And we all know about Earth and Jupiter This means that either Earth in G1 is larger than Jupiter by a very large margin, or Unicron shrinks more when going from Planet to Robot mode than Soundwave turning into a cassette player.
I still to this day cannot figure out why on earth the writers of the G1 cartoon series made Cybertron smaller than earth...I choose to put that down to animation errors & ignore it.
"Shockwave created Unicron"
Autobot: how many times have you come up with ideas that doom everyone?
Shockwave: yes!
Props to Starscream for, after his literal disintegration, returns as a ghost, double-crosses a COSMIC ENTITY, and actually SUCCEEDS in getting a new body while Unicron gets the short end of the deal.
clasic starscream
Starscremas traitorous nature saving the Transformers and the Universe is the ironic end I never knew I needed.
This is why I love Starscream, he's a little shit (most of the time)
But he's a fun little shit, and Transformers wouldn't be the same without him!
You know youre a badass when you double-cross freaking UNICRON
@@GabrielMichaelDels hi dude how are you
“Shockwave is somewhat responsible for the creation of Unicron”
Why am I not surprised…
eh hes basically done everything ever

Do you do all the work on these videos by yourself? The production quality is INSANELY high, great stuff!
Your Unicron video puts the biggest smile on my face.
True . And depending on the continuity they defeated and I mean he was killed and other wasn't only sealed or temporarily defeated.
I’m looking forward to watching the film in cinema

Of coarse another great vid and an interesting one too also very hyped for ROTB
i am happy i discovered this channel because you ar so entertaining

Neat to see the different origins. On an sort of unrelated since you mentioned prime optimus i never care for how they made him one of the original 13. Always felt like it took away from who is and his humble beginnings.
Definitely going to pictures to see ROTB purely just for Unicron now aswell as my nostalgia for Beast Wars
I like how Japaneese G1 is the most complex. Like, they have all those universes, Convoys, remember original cartoon and STILL manage to place it in one continuity
the idw comic was so crazy im so glad i wasnt spoiled about that
Now that Bumblebee is kind of the second protagonist of the franchise next to Optimus, could you do a video on him and what he's done through the generations?
My first time to see Unicron was Transformers Armada. I was scared back then.
3:46 this part right here is so freaking cool!!!
There was a quote in the idw when Unicron was revealed it went like "welcome death. Unicron." Or something like that I might of missed a part of the quote
Wow g1 was crazier than my childhood remembers lol
The 2 battled to a stalemate.
Shows 2 teenage girls throwing down...HARD!
FUCK i love this channel.
I didn't care for IDW's explanation of Unicron - but he was MASSIVE. I dare say the biggest incarnation ever.
I could've sworn the Quintessons were involved in at least one origin story for Unicron. Maybe that was just fanon, though? Or maybe it was more geared towards Primus's origin story?
great video man :)
Seeing that movie as a kid I was absolutely mind blown by Unicron. I even got the Toy when I went to Disney World as a Child ❤

10:35 hmmmm, this seems familiar... happy to see ROTB making a deepcut (as deep of a cut that G1 season 3 can be, that is)
Im really hoping that movie is succesfull, my fears are because the mivie is 3 HOURS AND 40 MINUTES LONG, NOT EVERYONE LIKES SITING IN A CINEMA THAT LONG, but at least that means the movie is long enough for decepticons and predacons to still make an aperance even though the Trailer didnt Show any of it yet
Sometimes I forget how broken most transformers characters are
If Unicron in his robot form appears in live action, I think his first line would be “ i am… UNICRON”
I’m ready to see this new epic video
Also in the TF prime movie he introduced himself as the lord of the dead and turned an entire legions worth of predacon fossils into terrorcons
ROTB should open with Unicron consuming a planet just like the first movie.
Than transition into a modern vers of the g1 theme?
According to the G1 transformers movie Unicron did escape and had the transformation of a planet then seeks to have revenge on Cybertron who happens to be Primus himself, even though Primus is no longer a cybertronian God, Unicron has the advantage to destroy him Primus as a planet, right?

It’s funny how g1 unicron is defeated by the one thing grimlock doesn’t have, intelligence.
So did the Star seekers abandon Unicrons head and then the tripredicus councils took it or were these in different continuity.
I know that this is a long shot here but did we not see Unicorn slowly return in the Energon series or is that non-cannon?
Me for no reason: 3:44 "That's a catgirl"
so your saying the precursor universe is diaclone ? tHATS A GREAT WAY TO DEPIC THE STORY but fereal though what they did to this character was so great they kept him relevant all the way to the beast wars era
