Am a TF fan.

 

Unicron new to me also.
But I beleave he was also in the original Transformers, not sheer though.

 

Indeed he was, he featured in TF: the movie. However, he does have a history which explained why he was the way he is. I don't now too much about the unicron in Armada but I hear he looks similar to the old version and that he is a mobile planet as well.

transformers

hey do many of you guys like red alert.........
or any of the people in transformers .......i really can't stand billy and ted........
but rad and carlos are cool

 

I don't like Armada. I'm glad they finished it. But I'm eagerly awaiting Transformers Energon

 

Is it a continuation from Armada? What made me think that is this picture... http://store5.yimg.com/I/tfw2005_1771_41156904. Clearly the armada version of 'Megatron' or 'Galvatron'

^Shen^

 

Yes it's a continuation. Premise is, after Unicron was defeated in Armada, he required lots of time to try and repair himself. The basic fuel of all Transformers is called Energon, so naturally Uni needs a ton to fix himself up. He cuts a deal with the Decepticons. In exchange for new power and forms, they will seek out as much energon as possible to help repair him. Since Megatron/Galvatron was missing in action after falling into Unicron, a new ruthless Decepticon replaces him: Scorponok (seen facing off against Prime in that picture)

 

So, do you guys like the autobots or the Decepticons? I really like the decepticons. Only because of megatron and starscream. Also do you guys like minicons?

 

Here is the history of Unicron:

CARTOON BIO:

A planet-sized being whose ability to eat planets distinguished him. He had a vulnerability to the Autobot Matrix, which he was well aware of.


Unicron was created by Primacron for the purpose of destroying the universe, though it remains a mystery why he wanted to do so. Able to travel through space, devour whole planets, and manipulate objects around him, he went from system to system eating everything in sight.
Millions of years later, Unicron devoured the planet Lithos on his way to Cybertron. At this point, he was able to gather that the Autobot Matrix of Leadership had the power to destroy him, and that it had been passed on to Ultra Magnus. Unicron then intercepted Megatron, who had been cast adrift in space by Starscream. He offered to give Megatron a new body and new troops to command, in exchange for him destroying the Matrix for him. Megatron reluctantly agreed, and was changed into Galvatron. The other Decepticons who had also been cast from Astrotrain were changed into Cyclonus, Scourge, the Sweeps, and at least one Cyclonus-clone. (The Cyclonus clone was presumably destroyed during the second battle of Autobot City, since he was never seen again.)

Galvatron succeeded in taking the Matrix from Ultra Magnus, but instead of destroying it, he used it to blackmail Unicron. However, he was unable to open the Matrix, and Unicron swallowed him as punishment.

Unicron transformed into his humanoid mode and physically attacked Cybertron. Apparently led by Shockwave, the Decepticon troops occupying the planet fought back, but with little effect. The Autobots, using a Quintesson cruiser and a Junkion starship, joined the battle. The Dinobots were able to cause some damage to Unicron's posterior, but did nothing serious. The Junkion ship was able to withstand some sort of flame that was fired from Unicron's mouth, but was ultimately destroyed when Unicron caught it in his hand and crushed it. Badly damaged, the Quintesson ship collided into Unicron's eye, destroying it and causing the ship to fall apart.

Hot Rod fell out of the disintegrating ship and ended up coincidentally in the same region as Galvatron. Galvatron proposed an alliance between the two, but Unicron wracked his body in terrible pain until he agreed to destroy Hot Rod. Hot Rod gained possession of the Matrix and used it to become Rodimus Prime. When Galvatron shot the Matrix out of his hand, Rodimus threw him through Unicron's exoskeleton and out into space. He then regained the Matrix and used it to annihilate Unicron from within. Rodimus then found the other Autobots inside and led them out through Unicron's remaining eye, destroying that also. The only part that remained intact following the explosion that engulfed Unicron was his head.

In 2005, Cyclonus led a group of Decepticons into Unicron's head to try and locate the whereabouts of Galvatron. They were successful in activating and using Unicron's computer, and though Cyclonus reassured Scourge that he was dead, Scourge was unconvinced. Scourge turned out to be correct, and though Unicron was now relatively powerless, he was indeed still alive. In a deal with the ghost of Starscream, Unicron recreated his body in return for help in regaining his eyesight and obtaining Cybertron for his new body. Starscream did get the eyes by stealing them from Metroplex and Trypticon, but Unicron was unable to get Cybertron.


COMIC BIO:

Unicron was a "fallen god" possessed of "power beyond measure," whose main drive was his near-insatiable hunger. Feeding on entire star systems, he continued his task unhindered until he eventually succeeded in devouring the entire universe. At this point, he fell into a sleep, his hunger finally appeased.

However, a single fragment of that universe was able to escape the destruction, and, being sentient, this fragment was able to use Unicron's sleep to its advantage. During this time, it rebuilt the universe without waking Unicron, and transformed its sentient core into a protector for the new universe: Primus. Unicron eventually woke and immediately began destroying the universe again. Primus fought back, but it became clear that brute force was insufficient against him. Primus then took the battle into the astral plain, but Unicron overwhelmed him there as well. In an act of desperation, Primus suddenly left the astral plain with Unicron in close pursuit. Intent as he was on destroying Primus, Unicron didn't realize that he was being led into a trap. As a result of the act, both minds were trapped inside planetoids.

Soon, Unicron realized that he could psionically shape the metallic mass of the planet he occupied. In time, he changed it into a planet with the following capabilities: devouring whole planets and processing them into energy, independent space flight, nonlinear timestream access, psionic manipulation of metallic masses in the immediate vicinity (down to an atomic level), and transformation into a humanoid mode. Once able to do so, he again journeyed the universe devouring everything in his way.

Meanwhile, Primus had converted his own planet into Cybertron, on which he created the Transformers, intended to be the universe's last line of defense against Unicron. He then allowed them to evolve naturally while he shut himself down to avoid detection from Unicron.

On Cybertron, several million years later, a fight between the Autobots and Decepticons resulted in a stray shot waking Primus, which immediately caused Unicron to track him down. Unicron, knowing that the Creation Matrix was in fact the essence of Primus's life force, sent Hook, Line, Sinker, and an alternate timeline's Galvatron to Cybertron to destroy it before his arrival. Instead, Galvatron turned on Unicron's other servants and helped Emirate Xaaron contact Primus for help. Thus, when Unicron finally arrived on Cybertron, the combined Tranformer army was there to meet him (with a few exceptions). In the resultant battle, many Transformers were killed, but Optimus Prime was able to regain the Creation Matrix from Thunderwing and opened it while inside Unicron. The explosive force of pure good meeting pure evil tore apart Unicron's body, apparently killing him.

Hope this Helps you in you quest to know more about the Transformers.

Fluffyofthewind did specifically state 'TF Armada' so I don't know if all this applies in that show.

I knew the cartoon bio but the comic one is all fresh to me. Intersting stuff. It was pity that TF ended with 'Headmasters' I presume? I know they carried on with the comics but it'll really be good if they can actually continue it from where they left off instead of making all these new series.

 

well i just got to see tf energon. i thought i heard of energon from beast wars.

 

'Energon' as a word is the main source of fuel for all transformers. The main reason why both sides of the transformers ended up on earth in the first transformers series is because of the shortage of energon on Cybertron.

How it is linked to 'Transformers - Energon' we will have to find out. I too am looking forward to the series, I hope they improved where Armada failed.
