    05:20 - toilet doors under Unicron’s left pectoral. I remember laughing at the artist’s little ‘see if they spot this one’ gag when I read the comic originally back in the day. Brilliant comic series, great childhood memories ❤

    A lot of this is different then the cartoon. I did not read the comics so I know there can be some differences. But in the show there was an alien in the G2 series episode that created Unicron. Also the Quintessons created Cybertron and the Transformers. But its interesting to see some variations of course on the theme.

      Its a bit obvious they are related

    I thought they were two waring gods that battle and injured each other so bad one became a life devouring planet the other one became a life bringing planet

    • @ryanparry4361
      @ryanparry4361 ปีที่แล้ว +29

      they were , but primus tricked unicron into travelling between dimensional planes when he was losing the fight and this turned both of them into huge planets. they later mastered their forms into a huge planet eater, and a life giving planet

  • @HelloYoutube89
    @HelloYoutube89 ปีที่แล้ว +46

    Unicron had 60% and Primus had 40% and yet Unicron couldn't beat him and then later on Primus made the 13 Primes that would destroy Unicron or put him to sleep so i can certainly say Primus is superior. Unicron had 20% more abilities yet couldnt kill Primus. Its basically Optimus ve Megatron. Stronger doesn't always win.

  • @jackgrove4621
    @jackgrove4621 28 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

    i dont think a lot of comic fans know just how terrifying pre-retconed unicron is. Having Unicron die being a worst case scenario because he will just reconstitute himself in another universe and coming back stronger. Having devoured a third of the multiverse and the only way to stop him is to put him into a coma and having to live with the knowledge that someone could wake him up after all the effort to defeat him.

    • @MrDe4dGuy34
      @MrDe4dGuy34 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      Well, if you’re going to compare them based on that scale, Unicron would be more like Morgoth, the Fallen would be Sauron. Megaton would be akin to the Witch King of Angmar.

    • @jstory5640
      @jstory5640 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      this is from the comics its all over the place, per the original cartoon the dinobots weren't even created til after the autobots crashed on earth and that was several years later on Dino Island so just create whatever beginning you want cuz the comics are all over the place, but Unicron and Primus were brothers etc

    • @anmolt3840051
      @anmolt3840051 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      More like Megatronus is analogous to Lucifer/Satan, Optimus is analogous to Jesus and Megatron is a false prophet (perhaps he is the anti-Christ as some fictional works imagine the anti-Christ as a child of Satan)

    Eh I prefer Unicron in his original role as seen in the transformers movie. There was no elaborate backstory, it was just some cosmic level villain whose origins were a mystery. I liked that about him, it was mysterious and ancient feeling. It made one wonder where this thing came from. By explaining it away with an elaborate backstory it took away the mysterious allure of the character.

    Primus is absurd and stupid. I'm glad that story with Primus is not actually part of the storyline "canon" for Generation 1.That plot is as stupid as the way the comic book version of Trypticon was a standard-sized transformer with intelligence, and was actually the leader of the Decepticons at one point. As we know from the G1 animated program, Tryptricon was a HUGE city and was very stupid.
