Transformers Alter Verse/Characters/Gods

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Primus

The Lord of Light and good counterpart of Unicron, Primus is the Creator God of the Transformers, and also the creation of the Forces of Light to prevent Unicron from drowning the Universe in Darkness and Chaos. The spark of each Transformer is a piece of his lifeforce, and combined, they form his essence, the Allspark. He created the Thirteen original Transformers to man his body in planet mode, but when The Fallen betrayed him, Primus was forced to go into stasis, in an effort to prevent Unicron from finding Cybertron and devouring it, which would destroy that universe. Like his brother and his creations, Primus is a multiversal singularity, meaning there is only one version of Primus in each of the vast multiverse.

  • A God Am I: Averted because Primus does not advertise about his powers or abilities, choosing to remain connected to the universe on a planetary level.
  • Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: Primus is planet-sized, so he's REALLY BIG.
  • Beam Spam: When Primus activates his arsenal of planetary lasers, this Trope applies to him
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Primus can be reasonable at times, but when you push him over the edge, he will kick your aft in his name.
  • Bigger Good: Primus is the first and foremost, and all the Primes descended from him.
  • Creative Sterility: Primus can create life, and hence he seeded many planets with life to form his armies to fight against Unicron.
  • Genius Loci: He is Cybertron, or, at the very least, trapped within Cybertron. It varies Depending on the Writer, but in this Transformers Alter Verse Continuity, Primus IS Cybertron itself.
  • Magnificent Bastard: Primus is the good inversion of this Trope, as he manipulated events to suit himself across the multiverse.
  • Manipulative Bastard: Primus is well known for pulling the strings behind some events that happened throughout the main story,
  • Omniscient Morality License: Everything he does is in some way to combat Unicron and protect the universe, but that doesn't mean its convenient or pleasant for the various species of the Universe, including the Transformers.
  • Physical God: He is God to the Transformers.
  • World of Badass: He himself is Cybertron. We dare you to deny the Transformers are Badass.

Unicron

The primordial personification of Chaos and Darkness, Unicron is the ultimate force of evil in Transformers--not simply in Generation 1, but in all iterations of the brand. Like his brother and archenemy Primus, Unicron is a multiversal singularity--in all the myriad realities of the transformers universe, there is only one Unicron. The Chaosbringer has seen our existence, our reality, and he has taken offense; Unicron's greatest desire is to consume and annihilate all of creation, all possible realms of existence, until naught remains but an infinite void of absolute nothingness, at the center of which he shall sleep forever more, his tasks complete. You cannot destroy Unicron permanently; blow up his physical body, and he simply reforms in another part of the multiverse to continue his never-ending quest to devour all reality.

  • A God Am I: Unicron tend to boast about his powers and devouring abilities to those species who he was about to kill.
  • Exclusively Evil: Unicron plays this Trope painfully straight.
  • As Long as There Is Evil: He is the complete opposite of Primus.
  • Big Bad: Sometimes.
  • Bigger Bad
  • Cosmic Horror: Those who have seen only the movie believe Unicron to be little more than a Planet Eater, but the truth of the matter is that Unicron consumes all things--matter, existence, time and space, all of these are mere morsels snapped up to sate his unholy hunger, however briefly.
  • Deal with the Devil: Occasionally the Chaosbringer will see fit to empower mortal creatures with a fragment of his essence, upgrading their bodies and granting them new abilities in order to carry out whatever tasks he requires of them. The most well-known of these Heralds of Unicron is Galvatron, though there have been many others, and not all of them exhibit the same degree of independence and free will as Galvatron did. Unicron cares little for his pawns, however, and in the end his goals call for their consumption as well.
  • I Have Many Names: The Dark God, the Chaos-Bringer.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: The Dark God utterly loathes existence with a passion, and is slowly making good on his goal of consuming all of creation; Unicron has already devoured more than a fifth of all possible universes.
  • Physical God: Specifically, a dark god.
  • Planet Eater: When Unicron says he wants to be alone, he damn well does something about it. If he eats everything, then all will be a part of him, and he will finally be alone.
  • Satan: the equivalent in Transformer culture.
  • Ultimate Evil: As befitting robo-satan, verging on Robo-Angara-Mainyu.
