The Covenant of Primus
Unicron andPrimusbegan life as personalities within a single omnipotent being that conversed with itself. While Primus saw beauty in life and found it sacred, Unicron found it pointless, cruel, and needing to end. The divide between the two personalities grew and the being eventually split into Primus and Unicron. Unshackled, Unicron went on a cosmic rampage, destroying all he found, with the end goal of consuming reality itself. Eventually Primus took a stand against Unicron but the two brothers found themselves evenly matched in a perfect stalemate. Primus responded by creating theThirteento fight in his stead.
At his full power however, Unicron's mere aura overpowered the Thirteen causing them to nearly lose all hope before they rallied. The youngest of them,Optimus Prime,managed to breach Unicron's interior and exposed his Primus-like Spark to Unicron's Anti-Spark, the resulting reaction knocking both beings into stasis lock.Vector Primethen created a time loop around Unicron to keep him in stasis and prevent him from ever awakening. Though the day had been won, the Thirteen's exposure to Unicron had infected them all with a touch of his darkness. Though they all tried to ignore it,Alpha Trionlater reflected that by doing so, they gave the darkness fertile ground to grow in. During the battle,Dark Energonbled from his body and was eventually sealed away.
The darkness particularly grew inPrima,whom Unicron had physically bitten, who had created a chart tracking which of the Primes were more similar to Primus and Unicron.
Upon finding the Dark Energon,Megatronmerged it with hissparkand eventually the verycoreofCybertron.
After arriving onEarth,Optimus expressed surprise at how much life had sprung up on Unicron's body.Arceeupdated her personal log for the first time since coming to Earth just before the attack on Unicron.

Unicron was defeated in his attempt to destroy Cybertron very early in its history, but emanations of his presence remained and were gathered and stored onTrypticonStation. This substance was a violently addictive poison that could pass on to another bot once its user died, and was dubbed the Sparks of Unicron orDark Energon.UltimatelyMegatronachieved what Unicron did not by contaminating thecorewith Dark Energon, forcing the planet to shut down and reboot.Exodus

According to legend, at the beginning of time, Unicron and Primus battled each other for eons, with neither side remaining victorious for long. Until, that is, Primus created theThirteen.These Thirteen defeated Unicron and cast him into space.
Over time, matter gravitated towards Unicron's fallen form, eventually forming aplanetwhich found an orbit around a distant star. Prophesies foretold that should a certain planetary alignment occur, gravitational forces would wake Unicron from his slumber. In Optimus Prime's later view, Unicron had likely begun to transcend physical form.One Shall Rise, Part 1
In his three years in space, Megatron discovered the solidified form of Dark Energon, rumoured to be "the blood of Unicron". A worriedStarscreamreferred to Unicron as a legendary "destroyer", and called his blood the "Anti-Spark" as well.Darkness Rising, Part 2Megatron injected a piece of Dark Energon into himself and announced that he could hear Unicron's thoughts, much to Starscream's concern.Darkness Rising, Part 3
Some time later, as a planetary alignment foretold in a prophecy from theCovenant of Primuswas drawing near, Megatron began to see visions of the future brought on by the sliver of Dark Energon that dwelt within his body. In one such vision, Megatron glimpsed the shadowed face of Unicron himself, and claimed that it was as if he could hear Unicron's own thoughts.Knock OutandAirachnidwere less than convinced, but kept that fact to themselves. Much to everyone's shock, a volcano near the site of Optimus and Megatron's battle exploded and released a load of Dark Energon from theEarth's core.One Shall Fall
As storms, earthquakes, and volcanoes erupted simultaneously across Earth, theAutobotsbegan to suspect that Earth itself had Unicron as its core, explaining why Dark Energon was expelling from within. Meanwhile, Megatron ordered theDecepticon Minersto mine the Dark Energon that spilled and at the same time he sought Unicron's attention at the maw of a volcano. Megatron presented himself as Unicron's herald and servant, an enemy of the Primes, but Unicron dismissed the Decepticon leader. If Megatron had failed to destroy the last of the Primes thus far on his own, Unicron believed Megatron's help was worthless. Similarly, Optimus Prime sought out Unicron elsewhere, traveling to the area which the Autobots believed to be the strongest epicenter of his consciousness. Unicron formed from a cliffside as a stone likeness of his old body near Optimus, while the Autobot leader made a passioned plea to the Chaos Bringer to spare the planets' inhabitants. Unicron denied Optimus's pleas, as he considered the humans "parasites", and he birthed multiple copies of himself from the landscape that surrounded Optimus Prime.One Shall Rise, Part 1
Optimus, soon joined by his fellow Autobots, blasted his way through increasingly larger Unicron avatars, until finally Unicron produced one even the Autobots couldn't beat. It raised a foot to crush Optimus, only for Megatron to lend a hand by blasting its head off. 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. Eventually, Megatron disappeared through the AutobotGroundBridge.
A short time later, Megatron and the Autobots used the GroundBridge to reach the core of Earth itself, where Unicron's eye peered around.One Shall Rise, Part 2As they moved through the interior of the deity, the Autobots and Megatron were attacked by a swarm of flying drones,Unicron's antibodies.The group fought them until they reached Unicron's anti-spark withOptimus Primeand Megatron ventured inside. As Optimus attempted to fight off waves of power from Unicron, Megatron was forcibly possessed by the ancient god and set against the Autobot leader. Before Unicron could strike through Megatron, Optimus unleashed the full power of theMatrix of Leadershipon Unicron, overwhelming him, and returning him to his slumber.One Shall Rise, Part 3
Much later Agent Fowler was giving a briefing to GeneralBryceabout the Autobots' mission and brought up their encounter with Unicron. Bryce misunderstood and believed Fowler was talking about aunicorn,threatenening Fowler with a psychological evaluation. He relented after the misunderstanding was cleared up.Grill
Awakened by the restoration of Cybertron, Unicron cast around for a new vessel for his anti-spark, and found Megatron's body at the bottom of the ocean. Reconstructing and reviving Megatron, Unicron took possession of his body and flew to Cybertron with the aim of destroying Primus once and for all. He arrived at Megatron's old fortress ofDarkmount,where he fought four Autobots. Dissatisfied by his new body's performance in battle, he tracked downPredaking,whom Megatron claimed was a loyal warrior. After a brief fight, Unicron prevailed and learned of the existence of a burial ground ofPredaconremains. He used his Dark Energon to revive the Predacons as an army of Terrorcons, and led them across theHydrax Plateauto theWell of All Sparks.While the Terrorcons poured into the Well, Unicron felt the return of theAllSpark,which Optimus Prime had just brought back to the planet. Unicron easily bested Prime in battle, and obtained the vessel, only to find it empty. The vessel instead drew Unicron's anti-spark into itself, sealing the dark god inside and freeing Megatron from his will.Predacons Rising

Several years after Unicron was sealed away,Megatronuswas freed from his imprisonment and brought to Earth, intending to use hisspark fuserto combine the remnants of the Chaos Bringer's Anti-spark in Earth's core with the AllSpark, which would destroy both Earth and Cybertron. Though Megatronus succeeded in drawing out the Anti-spark, he was ultimately thwarted by the efforts ofBumblebee's team, aided by the revived Optimus Prime, and the Anti-spark returned to Earth's core.Battlegrounds, Part 2
