As first recounted in " The Legacy of Unicron!", the comic's Unicron was the one of the Dark Gods-in the early days of the universe, he had menaced Primus lord of the Light Gods, and their battle ended with Primus reshaping his body into the metallic planetoid that would one day become Cybertron. Starting in 1988, author Simon Furman established an entirely different backstory for the character, tweaking details as necessary as the storyline evolved. However, the Marvel Transformers comic had incorporated its own version of Unicron into its own universe, entirely separate from the cartoon's goings-on. Subsequent episodes of The Transformers cartoon, set in the same continuity as The Movie, were the first works of Transformers media to fill in these details and craft the first of Unicron's many origin stories: as related in the third season episode " Call of the Primitives", the cartoon's Unicron was created by an alien scientist known as Primacron, but Unicron rebelled against his creator and set out into space alone. The Movie presented Unicron as more of an abstract obstacle than a full-fledged character: it didn't explain what Unicron was, nor where he came from, or any specific reasoning for why Unicron specifically targeted Cybertron. Unicron debuted as the central antagonist of 1986's The Transformers: The Movie, which established him as a monstrously powerful being seemingly only vulnerable to the supernatural energies contained within the Autobot Matrix of Leadership.
