I remember my Parents telling me if I cleaned my room they'd buy me the Unicron toy from Armada. When I finished cleaning I found out they already bought and we're waiting for me to finish cleaning my room to give it to me.
Lol....
Your parents have style.
ShamanMcLamie damn dude, that was all planned
That was a kickass toy, back when I was a kid.
@@KaiserMattTygore927 Still got it. But man if I had $600 that I could casually drop I'd have gotten the Haslabs Unicron, that thing is art
When Orson was asked about his role as Unicron he just said "I play a toy...who eats and destroys other smaller toys."
It's one of the few instances of a voice actor not caring about his performance actually making it better, as it gives off the impression that Unicron is so above the Transformers that he can barely care enough to speak to them.
Movie legend orson welles who started in countless iconic movies,and his last role is a glorified toy commercial
@@bromicorn I like this argument to that line of thinking, (ua-cam.com/video/TfH9SKo4W4s/v-deo.html).
@@TheWraithOfMooCow tbf, his voice lines were so bad, they were unusable. The director processed them through a synth to save the lines. He died 4 months after the movie released.
@@OrphanCrippler1 He actually died in 1985. The movie wasn't out until 1986.
Unicron: Exists
Megatron: Oh boy, time to get possessed again
Unicron: Babe! It's 4 pm. Time for your daily possession.
Megatron: Yes honey.
Galvatron: you see this the corruption core i now possible that you most fear aaah you do my bitter and titles my ex unicron: I understand why you do that to me
Unicron: *tranforms*
Power Of The Primes: Hell No! *Blasts Unicron’s spark with the Requiem Blaster*
Unicron was my introduction to cosmic horror. He's a huge primordial entity of unthamoable power that casually destroys worlds and uses other beings as his pawns and I love it!
kinda low grade cosmic horror but technically true.
Unicron's motive in a nutshell
Anything: Exists
Unicron: *triggered*
He's a edgy boi
Finally some good fucking food
Haha
"We live in a Multiverse" -Unicron
Yup that's Unicron he takes everything out because he wants nothing left. Like nothing at all.
I was half expecting a "brought offline by the cosmically powered Starscream" lol
The Shitposter I was expecting him to originate from the Japanese toy line, diaclone
I believe it was after the Underbase saga and Unicron was an original idea from Transformers (not Diaclone).
"For a time, I considered sparing your wretched little planet cybertron; but now, you shall witness... It's dismemberment!" - Unicron 1986
How epic was his transformation back then? Impossible to describe today
Love that line..
I find John Noble, the actor who provided Unicron's voice in the Prime animated cartoon, to be an underrated performer of the character. Noble had already given stellar performances as Denethor II in the Lord of the Rings movies, Dr. Walter Bishop in the TV series Fringe, and the time demon Mallus in DC's Legends of Tomorrow, so hearing him in Prime gave me chills.
He was also the Scarecrow in Batman: Arkham Knight!
Anyone else find it hilarious that they actually got John Noble to play himself as well as a Mallus in Legends?
I prefer the idea of the two entities embodying "order vs. chaos" to "good vs. evil", to be honest
Me too. I don't mind there being gods and stuff.
Unicron is the devil of the transformers while primus is god
@@zachbrown8432 In my opinion Megatronus is the true devil cast out of Cybertron and hated by his own bretheren.
I prefer order versus chaos, because I believe that morality is completely subjective.
@@Kuriboh1008 Yes that is my reason for thinking the same thing also
I'm admittedly biased towards Armada, but I really enjoyed how they showcased Unicron: this vast entity who interacts with the universe through these complicated plots and schemes behind the scenes, never actually making himself known until it was almost too late to stop him, and only ever speaking at the very end, and through the body of a servant, as if to say he's so far beyond any of the transformers that that is the only way he could directly communicate with them. The extreme hype that was watching him slowly transform over the course of several episodes added to that.
I as well. Grew up watching Armada on Toonami. Have a decent collection of the toys. Now I'm gonna watch the 1986 movie as I didn't know they made a sequel.
When I was a kid, I didn't see how the series ended. I only saw Unicron transform, ready to attack Cybertron.
They slowly built up his presence and it really paid off with his reveal
I like the idea of the war feeding Unicron. I'd like too see that revisited with one of the more modern Decepticon origin stories like Aligned or IDW1
I really like Unicron being the earth itself. It gives a good explanation for why the Cybertronians keep coming to earth and it hightens the stakes cause all Unicron has to do is transform to destroy the earth
At a cost. Unicron can’t transform because new Transformers media will never destroy Earth unless it’s some sort of dark future that gets avoided with time travel
Eh... I find it too easy to "paint yourself into a corner" trying to justify/work with this concept too much. It's ok for a very late reveal towards the end of a series, but if it was brought up too early, it could really hobble the storytelling.
Yeah because it means you absolutely cannot let Unicorn transform in your story, unless you wanted to have a section about all of humanity taking refuge INSIDE unicorn before he could transform... but even then that might be too much of a distraction from whatever the actual plot is
@@vladyvhv9579 I feel like Prime did it pretty well. Spoilers for show:
Despite having Unicron appear in season 1 of a 3 season plus 1 movie series it didn’t hinder the story.
@@amiablereaper you make that the plot because the Decepticons and Autobots aren't going to keep fighting when the literal embodiment of chaos is acting up also they could always have some deus ex machina that reverses him back into the Earth I mean it's required one to take him out since day one The Matrix of leadership
Fun fact: Unicron was Orson Welles' final role before he passed away at the age of 70 from a heart attack, though he'd been in severely declining health for some time before then.
He did do a great job voicing Unicron in that movie.
That mans voice was truly emposing as Unicron
That fact wasn't very fun
Pretty well known fact really.
At least go out with a bang
The “Unicron as the Earth itself” concept is the most interesting concept of the character that I both loved and hated. In the Prime cartoon series, it felt like an awesome way to justify why so much of Cybertronian technology including their lifeblood Energon was on Earth in the first place & why Earth is so important to all the Transformers. When they introduced the idea that Earth was Unicron in the Last Knight movie, it felt like a tired plot twist that the Bay crew put in as lazy fan service - even though it served as the same plot device as in the Prime series. It was also a bit of a ret-con of the first movie in that the Transformers found Earth by complete happenstance like in the original cartoon, but by Transformers 5 it was the main reason why the Transformers were drawn here all along - and why scouts like Jetfire from Revenge of The Fallen and Bumblebee seemed to know that Earth would be a crucial factor in the Cybertron Civil War.
Absolutely
bayformers did not have a continuity, anything could have happened in those 5 movies. thankfully the new ones are now by travis knight
@@aetheriox463 ironically wrote by the same people who wrote prime
At a cost. Unicron can’t transform because new Transformers media will never destroy Earth unless it’s some sort of dark future that gets avoided with time travel.
We’ll never see him fight again if this keeps up. Like he’ll just become a jobber that just exists behind the scenes.
@@TheUncivilizedNation Honestly this isn't a huge loss, it puts him at equal footing with Primus (who is Cybertron itself). By this point if they wanna make Unicron transform and fight they should make it interesting and have Primus also transform to battle against him. Two robot worlds duking it out would be legendary to watch.
I hope people respect how all the other characters thumbnails have several incarnations, but Unicron just has two forms of the same character. Because he's just that awesome.
Also multiversal singularity stuff
Multiversal singularities are no longer a thing. Each universe has its own version of Unicron now.
I always hated that multiversal singularity crap, it always sounded like bad fan fiction
Also different font color. Thats cool
Aw s#$& here we go again
Almost godlike.
I remember as a kid seeing the first scene of the transformers movie and feeling so much terror and fear. Not the kind you'd feel when you see a jump scare, but pure dread. That was pretty impactful for a 6 year old kid.
you profile pic is sonic frozen over?
Very similar feelings as an 11 year old too and as the opening scene to boot!
@@zephyrr108what's the matter with that?
I love the Lovecraftian aspect of the movie Unicron: an ancient all-powerful godlike entity beyond good and evil and understanding who is just... very, very hungry.
8:06 I guess you could say that this put our worlds in danger, and to save them and the galaxy we must find the 4 Cyber Planet Keys before the Decepticons can use them for evil!
You could also say that it is our mission!
Oh yeah of course
It is our mission! Autobots, transform and roll out!
You could also say that the heroes who will take on this mission are HOTSHOT, JETFIRE, VECTOR PRIME, LANDMINE, SCATTERSHOT, OPTIMUS PRIME!
Transformers robots in disguise tututu tututu tu ¡autobots! ¡decepticon!
Heralds? Cosmic enegy? Eater of worlds? With a few edits, this could've been the basics on Galactus.
I saw the way that was written too.
No 😡😡😠
That was my thought as well
that just makes the fact that marvel and transformers were in the same universe at one point even better
Annastasis wait what
"You said that Optimus had to fight a unicorn."
"That's what you... Unicron. The ultimate evil? Permission to scratch that from the record."
Unicorn got a horn that could impale you... That makes it evil in my book! Unicorn must die!!!
LOL 😅😅😅😅😅
LOL
This is an episod of tfp right ? The one with agent fowler' report on the autobot
So Unicron is Transformers’ Galactus.. complete with heralds
I liked TFP's idea of Unicron being the Earth itself. The cosmic horror isn't just already here, it's our home as well.
At a cost. Unicron can’t transform because new Transformers media will never destroy Earth unless it’s some sort of dark future that gets avoided with time travel.
We’ll never see him fight again if this keeps up
Unicron in TFP waan't actually the Earth, but he was the Earth's core, so his transformation would still destroy the Earth.
I imagine it being somewhat like the Voidspawn from Stellaris.
I find that concept to be interesting. The “monster planet” being Earth, or at the very least, it’s core, means the heroes have to find a way to defeat the Chaos Bringer without harming the planet, so it’s a problem that can’t simply solved by blowing up the enemy.
And that means humanity is unicrons children huh imagine that
I wish live action movies would've actually got to Unicron. I know his horns were shown in the 5th movie. But I also wanted him to come alive and destroy Earth. Him being defeated before he can rise out of the Earth in all these stories is lame and boring. Unicron is touted as the ultimate evil and chaos itself as well as massive destruction. So him being easily defeated all the time is so corny. There needs to be a story with actual stakes, where transformers and humans die. Sadly I doubt any movie studio would have the balls to do this.
*Unicron shows up*
Optimus: We're in the endgame now
*Eats Cybertron
Optimus: Did we just lose?
Arcee: we owe it to everyone who is not in this room.
Actually, the three-part series finale for Transformers: Animated was named Endgame, soooo
Rodimus: This is going to work. 'Cause in don't know what I'm going to do if it doesnt.
Unicron: Prime.
Optimus: You know me?
Unicron: I do. You're not the only one cursed with knowledge.
Optimus: My only curse is you.
Can we agree that we are all looking forward for the updated version of this video with the RotB Unicron? :D
I love Unicron being Earth. It makes the setting more than just a setting, though I guess having cthulu's role of "if he wakes up, everyone's doomed" can be limiting as far as maximum epicness
i don't think anything gets close to the intro of the 1986 movie.
I really don't like it, cause it turns the rest of the series into a game of "don't wake the baby".
I mean they could always have him make smaller copies of himself to inhabit vessels sort of similar to how he made Stone copies and eventually took over Megatron and became Galvatron in Prime
"Destiny..... You cannot destroy my DESTINY!" One of the best lines ever from anything
Is it bad that for nearly two decades I misunderstood that line almost completely? (If you're wondering my brain parsed it as a pained crazed rant of "Destroy-? You cannot-! Destroy- I- DESTRRRRR-(boom)" rather than anything resembling a coherent sentence).
But destiny Gundam can be destroyed
@@Penningtontj That’s all I could hear too. I thought he was at the point he could barely even speak. Made sense to me.
@@Penningtontj I heard it as "Destiny....you cannot destroy...I....destroooooooyyyy"
I missed the 'dark god'' aspect, but IDW's Unicron looked awesome.
Looked awesome, terrible story though. A six episode special was too short, plus the artwork was pandemonium at times and difficult to look at.
UNICRON HE IS THE MOST POWERFUL EVIL TRANSFORMERS VILLAIN AND HE WILL DESTROY CYBERTRON PRIMUS FOREVER
CODY SHARP JR HE LOVES TRANSFORMERS TOYS AND DVDS ALONG WITH BOOKS AND TRANSFORMERS PS3 GAMES
@Screaming Soldier nah he just forgot to turn off caps lock
@Screaming Soldier so ironic the screaming soldier asked them to stop yelling
Transformers: *Exists*
Unicron: I’m About To End This Mans Whole Career...
Primes: I'm about to end this man's whole career
The one making humans: oh yeah, its all coming together
And now 4 years later we finally have unicron in the live action universe
The fact that he had to wait for a planetary alignment in the Prime universe sounds like something out of the Cthulu Mythos. Like how Cthulu and the Great Old Ones would rise from R'lyeh if the stars worked in their favor again.
He is older than Earth itself
Honestly he is lowkey a robot Azathoth
What do you think started that off in the primeverse? Mr. Lovecraft heard unicron's voice echoing out of the depths of the earth, Archibald Witwicy and Megatron style.
(Pre-episode interview)
Chris Mcfeely: “Now, Mr. ‘Cron, I’ve summoned you here for a purpose.”
Unicron: “NOBODY SUMMONS UNICRON!”
Chris Mcfeely: “Well then, it pleases me to be the first.”
Colter Brown I’m dead!😂
Chris Mcfeely: Due to Hasbro’s obsession with creative freedom, you are no longer a singularity *Proceeds to send a reformatting wave that splits Unicron into millions and millions of beings*
Unicron would STOMP Galactus!
Colter Brown good one mate😂😂😂!!!
Hey, this could be fun if everyone pitches in...
Let's continue the interview between Unicron & Multidimensional Chris McFeely!
I believe the best way would be to number each entry, counting the initial post as #01 & then numbering each new entry in sequential succession as they're posted.
Based on the format of the initial post, The Name of the Game is:
First, as Unicron, answer the question that was asked by Multidimensional Chris McFeely in the previous entry.
Second, in the very same post as your Unicron answer, reverse roles and, as Multidimensional Chris McFeely, ask a creative & fun follow up question for the next person to try to answer as Unicron.
So, probsbly something like this:
⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
02
Unicron: "Indubitably, you shall also be the last."
Chris McFeely: "Wow! Then this most certainly is a tremendous honor! Thank you so much!
So, Unicron, shortly after this video was released Hasbro paid ultimate homage to you and your Transformers Legacy by launching Haslab's 'Transformers War for Cybertron Unicron' Figure Project. Standing at just over 27 inches it will officially be the largest Transformers figure that has EVER been produced and released by Hasbro.
Tell me, what are your thoughts on that Tremendously Successful Campaign which has officially "Awakened the Chaos Bringer" and, also, is there anything that you would like to say directly to the team over at Hasbro as well as the OVER Twelve Thousand Unicron Fans who, in your darkest hour, came together to become one with the Matrix and make that Project AND YOU a Reality?"
⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️
Alright! I made sure the next person has A LOT to work with. Let's see what everyone comes up with.
•NEXT ENTRY WILL BE 03
•ANSWER PRIOR QUESTION AS UNICRON
•ASK THE NEXT QUESTION AS MULTIDIMENSIONAL CHRIS MCFEELY
•PASS IT ON & ENJOY SEEING WHAT WACKY TURN THE INTERVIEW TAKES NEXT!

You can see the Star Wars influence on Unicron can't you? The Transformers version of the Death Star, except it doesn't blast planets to pieces, he consumes them whole.
Personally, my favorite aspect of Unicron was the Minicon because, although they were created by him, they ultimately stood against him and overthrew his tyranny owing to the fact that they were still individual Transformer lives with souls of their own that learned the values of life, love, and kinship throughout the Transformers series. Also, the fact that they remotely fueled Unicron with the aggression and hatred of warring Transformers leading to peace and cooperation between Decepticons and Autobots for the greater good felt satisfying. Plus the Minicon were cute and cool and gave awesome powerups and were great allies.
Can I just tell you something that's off the subject? The reason why I'm bashing the most recent actor; Robert Pattison who played as Batman is that, the DC Comic book hero has a strong reference to the 1976 R-rated adventure drama movie called 'Taxi Driver.' I still do remember the time when; John Hinckley Jr; tried, to assassinate former President Reagan. The movie director Martin Scorsese; has this I-don't-care attitude, about who would carry a grudge against all American Christian conservative government leaders. The same thing goes for the actor Robert Pattison; he just doesn't seem to care about, the Batman impersonators that got arrested nationwide. He also has this I-don't-care attitude, about who's not a Batman fan. Also who are the Santa Cruz County jail inmates; who aren't serial rapist and murderers, have to clean up the freeways. You recognize the sign; on the freeways that say this, $1000.00 fine for littering.
I also fantasized even contemplated on a 'Robot Chicken' episode; that was never created, it's Batman vs the Autobot city commander Ultra Magnus. Or even Batman vs Autobot Blurr, Autobot Arcee, even Autobot triple changer Springer.
@@georgeshelton6281 Could you not share that on a Batman-related video?

“Proceed on your way to oblivion,”

Excellent
Behold, Galvatron. And these will be your minions
@@blueknight4688 ... Scourge, the tracker, and his huntsman, the Sweeps. Cyclonus the warrior -and his armada- *_cough, cough_*
And this will be your ship. Now go
I always loved Unicron's whole deal, and im actually kinda sad that the Universal Singularity thing wasn't just reduced down to applying to him and Primus since it made feel that much more vast and ancient, and lent the Unicron Singularity from cybertron a bit more oomph because its origins weren't as simple as "His mass collapsed in on itself and created a black hole." It was specifically the fact that Unicron, no matter how badly he's defeated, is never actually supposed to die. So when he finally died in Energon, the multiverse didn't know how to process this and concluded with putting a black hole where Unicron used to be.
(Yeah I know its just a normal black hole in galaxy force, but since it formed right next to cybertron the unicron origin feels compelling)
Even in Galaxy Force, the creation of the black hole is due to the imbalance of good and evil in the universe, resulting from an "evil god" being defeated by "an object like the Matrix"!
The universe really just went (confused Travolta)
Sideways was also a “Universal Singularity”.
Its very menasing and cool, but also probably the biggest hell to write for
@@mercwiththemouthsnewphone6798 the mulitverse got really fucking confused and so just decided to place a the closest example of unicron in his place which just happened to be a fuck massive black hole
Unicron's BACK, and set to make his PROPER big screen debut in Rise Of The Beasts!!!
I gotta say, Unicron bein' Earth is my favorite take, like in the Live Action movies, it would explain the connection of Unicron and Cybertron on a technical and mystical way!~
I personally don’t like it (at least I don’t like it being repeated cause then it loses its charm and Unicron is less of a threat since we know he won’t actually transform). I also don’t like the IDW version of Primus and Unicron. They will always be gods to me.
Personally I don't because Earth had already been depicted as a different planet sized transformer, Gaia, sister of Unicron & Primus.
The first ever black hole image has released by NASA (2019 colorized)
@David Hinkle but what if said donut is just Unicron's maw, covered by some kind of spatial anomaly?
Could it be Unicron trying to consume the universe?
I know that Unicron is just made up, but what if he was real?
Than what can anybody do?
Red ring of death
@@omegamaximus1727
No, hes just pissed that they cancelled his toy twice
Beast Wars Neo Unicron needs to get made. It's STILL the coolest design for a Unicron toy, even after 20 years.
Yep
In about a month this video may need an update
Unicron: *I WILL DESTROY YOU ALL*
Hot Rod: Heh, big boi go boom
Holy Crapcakes, that Japanes Beast Wars Unicron prototype looks amazing!!! It looks like it belongs in the Siege line. I hope they make it someday, it's loads better than any of the other versions!!!
The '86 Unicron is the only good one imo besides the Japanese Beast Wars one. The '86 movie had better animation for his planet form though
I thought the same thing when I saw it - it looks amazing!! I
To me it was a pretty big mistake to get rid of the singularity thing. That was one of the most imposing aspects about him.
Unicron exists as the opposite of Primus...
Primacron: "Am I a joke to you?"
Transformers fans: "Uh, yeah!"
Good :D
Prime's Unicron has to be my favorite. It was nice to have him be there from the start rather than come in late.
Armada's comes second, then G1's. Rest I've never seen.
Personally, I still like the "singularity" concept... but in so much as it's the consciousness of the being that is singular. Yes, there are many unicrons with many origins, but only ONE can be active at a time, with the fundamental power of evil incarnate awakening it and driving it from beyond the known cosmos- unlike Primus who chose to exist in many universes simultaneously, which prevents him from ever FULLY activating (I know he transforms in Transformers: Cybertron, but I watched that scene and he doesn't seem... very awake). With the Vector Prime computer literally generating universe after universe of scenarios and timelines, Unicron is on a never-ending quest to bring each one to an END so that... when the work is finish... ALL ARE ONE- at least, from his own twisted, evil point of view.
Let's hope he never gets attracted to the bayverse one. If that series has shown us anything, it's that those transformers are a bit more intense than we remeber.
Yeah, more like all the Unicrons in every universe are just puppets controlled by the same Unicron, who is actually an incorporeal, all powerful being that can never be destroyed. Is that what you mean?
Not where I was aiming, but that is equally awesome and in line with other well-established multiversal threats like Darkseid. Good call!@@Anonomous518
Yeah, maybe Unicron should just take a page out of Darkseid’s book and have avatars of his overwhelming power
I really like the idea that Unicron's body infact became the earth's core. It kinda makes sense to why cybertronians seems so drawn to this one single planet.
the only problem with this is it guaranties we would never get to see him in his full glory because that would mean destroying the earth. Unless who ever is in charge has the guts to do so and make humanity seek refuge in space with their autobot allies.
I think they should make him the moon but that's my opinion
@@Lorkanthal There is a way you could pull it of. Have humanity be a space faring civilisation and when unicron transforms, it would be devasting for humanity's morale. Something like the fall of reach from halo or fall of cadia from warhammer 40k. I
It could give a sense of urgency and real long lasting consequences. For example how to fight unicron as well as after he's killed. Maybe it can be a sense of tension with humans and all cybertronians. Unicron is still a transformer at the end of the day who blew up earth and some humans would outright hate cybertronians.
@@jonathanathor117 whilst true i feel like humanity at that point would be well aquanted with the transformers so they would at this point know of unicron and him being the earth and all that
I always thought the cosmic singularity thing meant that there was always a Unicron within a universe, along with a primus.
Like no matter the universe, beast was, X-Men or Dragonball z, somewhere out there is Unicron munching his way through existence out of sheer spite
That is a much better meaning for that describtion
Orson Welles will always be the voice of unicron in my head. It was kind of weird hearing a different voice in a series after the 86 movie. The original movie was the last role that Orson Welles played before he passed away. For us G1’ers, this was his legacy for us.
12:06 I'm pretty sure that "volcano spaceship" is actually a larger Unicron head, likely representing the spirit of the actual Unicron
Anyone ever notice the Matrix resembles Unicron in a way?? Even the colors lol.
Absolutely right! Yes, remember thinking that when I first ever watched it back in the 80s
It's core also dangles from a string.
I think that's kind of on purpose, since the Matrix of Leadership and Unicron are both made from Primus in a way. Also, Unicron has the Dark Spark and Matrix of Chaos.
almost like the same artist design both of them quickly to pump out a movie asap... O.O
@@sflaningam7680 primus original design did not influence the matrix's or unicron's, primus first looked like Marvel's Celestial, then like Tron's master control had a baby with teletran1. dark spark and matrix of chaos where born decades later irl...
Unicron appearing in Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
Since earth is also called unicron, people of earth, we are living on a transformer
That survived the snap
Do a basics on Unicron's brother : Primus.
He is not as prominent as Unicron (he IS Cybertron). So far he only appeared in Energon and Cybertron (his voice was heard in War of Cybertron).
TwistedGaming918 that's hardly a reason not to cover him.
@@mangamegs I didn't say he couldn't cover him. He could cover Cybertron since it and Primus are the same.
TwistedGaming918 oh, my apologies dude
TwistedGaming918 he was a main character in the IDW comic
Good video about Transformers Robo-Satan known as Unicron👍
More like Robo Galactus for G1 and Robo Cthulhu for Prime.
Did you get that nickname from Boomstick from Death Battle
@@CrystalX329 Yeah since it was funny😂
he is robo-Satan.
Then Primus is Robo-Jesus?
Anything but Unicron being the Earth is my favourite story. It is so restrictive of what you can do with him when he is actually the Earth.
I'm not going to lie...the Comic origin story for Primus and Unicron is *fire.*
I love all Versions of Unicron. I always thought him being a "Multiversal Singularity" was a fun idea, but I was also glad to have him as a Multiversal Constant (meaning every universe has it's own Unicron) as I had always wanted to see a Unicron who was good rather than evil and so on. I like to think it will add variety to the character or his name. Same goes for Primus as well.
Livingchutoy I always thought it was Primus exists in all universes at once, whereas Unicron can only exist in one at a time
There are Shattered Glass versions of Unicron and Primus
Primus & Unicron existing since dawn of time through all the universe's makes senses as they are good & evil.
But him being Earth & That mindless gholem from Energon series was horrible, along with the stories that went with them.
I need to seriously rethink my life style
Like what? Upgrade Optimus into Nova Prime?
@@Its_Charlie_Young That was honestly the only thing that resulted into a succes that I've ever done
@@megathot3734 So...is Shattered Glass Unicron you or a different entity altogether?

I like the Transformers Prime Unicron. When The Dinobots debuted in Age of Extinction, I knew Unicron was coming when they previewed The Last Knight. Seeing those horns sticking out of the ground was a dead giveaway.
Anyone here doing research on Unicron for the next Death Battle?
Me
I was the one person asking fot that death battle since about 2013.
Yeeee
I love Prime Unicron. It made the whole unbreakable tie between earth and cybertron so much cooler and more dramatic.
The opening of the 86 movie is my favorite movie scene to this day. From the music to seeing lithone digested, it left me with an awe that no movie has matched. It also helped start my love for animation. the Unicron trilogy helped me get through some rough moments in my life. The armada toy was my first big transformer. In short the Chaos bringer has impacted my life and I would proudly serve him till the end, unlike those ungrateful mini-cons.
Good for you, Sideways!
remember getting Galvatron xmas morning, well chuffed i was. But the damn laser gun was faulty, still a great toy!
Not many movies match the '86 opening tbh. The opening had incredible animation for the planet shots, which I give big props for Toei when animating those. I usually crap on 'em, too. Not to mention the music which made the scenes feel more spacey and mysterious.
F/SN HF2's main fight scene is probably the only other movie scene I've seen where everything fit perfectly in place for one scene and all my demands were met.
I agree
I have to say that despite only hearing Roger C Carmel as Unicron in that quick clip I quite enjoy that. Godspeed you man with that amazing mustache you.
I like to think of Unicron as a sapient force, with the mechanical body just being a convenient medium to manifest through. The "TF: Prime" version manifesting through rock would be just as convenient. I'd like to see him manifest through organic matter one day.
The idw way of defeating Unicron was kinda funny, Just hug it out
Probably the most legendary "Talk no Jutsu" event of all time.
To be honest the Bayverse deserves to be devoured by Unicron.
clap clap you speak the facts.
You forgot to add the entire unicron trilogy
Haha! Bravo! Well said!
it wasn't that bad.
@@alignedlove6927 Well, they certainly weren't much good.
The Last Night and the one before it were utter shite!
Wow, I actually like that last interpretation of Unicron- made to get revenge on the Transformers specifically, driven by a conflicted soul who has lost everything.
If we ever do see Unicron again in animation, I think Maurice LaMarche would be perfect for the role since we all know he can do a mean Orson Welles impression.
2:48 Rodimus always looks so freaking scared on that cover.
If you had to face something like Unicron, you’d be scared too!
I admit, I like all the origins of Unicron: rogue creation, primal god, instrument of destruction/revenge.
I had one of the Armada Unicron Toys. As a kid that thing felt larger than life. Never forget when my local Target had some sort of a Unicron purge and there was an entire rack of maybe 20 Unicrons that were on red tag clearance for $15. Being a kid I couldn't buy every single one like I wanted to
The sound of the voice of Orson Wells. He made Unicron sound like an ancient deity.
You forgot to mention that Unicron is now the guitar player in the Cybertronic Spree!!!
Oh my... there needs to be a The Basics of Cybertronic Spree right now!
And you only said "monster planet" once. Impressive.
As many times as he said “volcano... spaceship?”
But couldn't bring himself to say "Gi-normous weird looking planet".
Orson Welles was dying and didn’t give a s**t about The Transformers the Movie, pretty much phoning in his performance, but he is EASILY, the best Unicron ever put to film, IMO. He was just that good.
Gotta love how even low effort Orson Welles is still 1000X more iconic than any other actor.
It’d be nice to see an actual battle of Primus vs Unicron, 2 planets transforming and brawling
My favorite Unicorn origin is Transformers Prime is my favorite one between him and his brother Primus.
Could you please do the basics on Trypticon also great vid
Great idea
It will only happen if you are a patron or other patrons also request it.
Well he already did Omega Supreme, just give him a minute. Finding all these sources at a good quality and putting them together in a cohesive timeline then editing take a while. I'm surprised he find quite a good amounts of pictures with these prototypes
"Rise of the Beasts" just gave us a live action version of Unicron. It will be interesting to see how this goes in later live action Transformers movies.
Even as a kid it always seemed hilarious to me that the biggest baddest villain in the universe was named Unicorn with two letters swapped
The armada origin for Unicron and Primus is very similar to the origin of Dc's Monitor and Anti-Monitor
Honestly, it pretty much is, with the Monitor/Primus having multiple bodies across universes, while Unicron has a single body that can freely travel to any universe. In both cases, Unicron/The Anti-monitor are respectively stronger than their counterpart because their power isn't diluted.
I never knew about the IDW Unicron until now. He looks awesome! But we will never get a figure of it.
Wrong! But it's near $600
I remember saving up £5 for 10 weeks to get the unicorn toy and also had the guide book what throwbacks
It was a great and in-depth feature on a great character. Thanks for doing this.
As a kid, Unicron was the coolest and scariest thing I'd seen in my life. A roaming planet with those pincers destroying anything in its path.. Why God, why? Then it had the nerve to fucking transform. Just when I thought transformers couldnt get any better they did that. Still one of my favorite characters.
Agree 100%! The ONLY live-action Transformer movie Bay should've done is re-doing the classic '86 movie....keeping Orson Well's voice as Unicron. And with today's technology, how cool would that movie be?!
@@LyfaLeeZhure_DavidShawn you're 100% correct. I do feel he wouldn't screwed up unicron. If there's ever a way possible to do that he would've found it.
It just goes to show you how unique Transformers is as a whole when different designers and people around the world contribute to a great character whose lore continues to Intrigue others and Inspire fear at the same time!
anyone else thought of this guy after the new omicron variant ?
When his huge action figure came out in like 2003 I bought 3 of them of different colors. It's huge it use to be the the biggest figure I don't know if that's still true. My fav still will always be Omega SURPREME
"over the eons,your proclamations of peace seem pointless. You must admit that you love the smell of battle"
That IDW Unicron looks epic. I really want to read this stuff, don’t know why it doesn’t stay in my mind long enough for me to find it.
don't bother with that garbage , unicron isn't a character in idw . hes more of a plot device in his own series !!! and never says a word im not joking .
@@aetheralLitannia he said one sentence he said I hunger
@@aetheralLitannia In IDW gods don't exist. I think it was an interesting take to have Unicron merely be a vessel, and The Primes be normal Cybertronians. I wouldn't like to revisit it though
I like the idea of him being empowered and a literal embodiment of hatred. Gives him more character than just a big planet eater i think
The OG movie was so damn awesome and Unicron blowing up was so epic as a kid (and a adult)
Glad to know more about Transformers, wonderful video
I watch this like I did cartoons as a kid 😂 every two weeks Saturday at ten 😂
My favorite version of unicron is the prime/aligned continuity version. He is genuinely terrifying, if somewhat limited in his powers. This version of him also had some of my favorite quotes of all time.
Such as:
"A victory over unworthy opponents, especially one that did not result in their demise is hardly an achievement."
And.
"You possess nothing! It is I who possess all that you were, and ever will be!"
And.
"I am this world's past, its present, and its future, and from this day forward all primes are simply past!"
Also, I owned the armada unicron toy as a kid.
So this human kind of whom you speak, you consider them my progeny? PARASITES!
@@gavinerickson9392 *They too shall know my wrathful hand, once I am finished with YOU!*
*The line of Primes has grown weak in my absence, and THUS YOU SHALL FALL.*
Though to be fair, I don't think any of the transformers continuities really do Unicron justice. He is a cosmic deity that represents pure chaos and entropy. He should be nigh invincible and far more powerful than he is depicted.
@@nil981 yeah he should.
Great video. I bought the Armada Unicron when it got re-released as part of the Universe 2.0 line back in 2009
I loved the episode where Unicron intelligence was transferred into Grimlock and where Grimlock made the technobots
Outstanding work as always Chris, so much to cover with Unicron and it's great that his character still manages to be a big impact on the series.
The G1 Unicron will always be the best, but the Earth Unicron from Prime is a close second.
Would love to see a Basics on Scorponok soon.
I prefer the beast wars neo and armada version even know thay armada is an egg
I prefer tfp
Simon Furman's unicron origin were the best
When i heard the narrator in the new movie trailer says “a new threat to our UNIVERSE” i knew i had to watch this video masterpiece again 🏃🏽♂️
