Description

The character Unicron first appears in the opening scene of 1986's The Transformers: The Movie immediately making clear his goal by consuming the small world of Lithone. Subsequently when the Decepticons Megatron Skywarp Thundercracker and the Insecticons are set adrift in space and left to die following a furious battle with the Autobots Unicron appears before them and offers Megatron a deal: in exchange for a new body and new troops Megatron will destroy the Autobot Matrix of Leadership the only thing that can stand in Unicron's way. Thus Unicron rebuilds Megatron into a new and more powerful body and rechristens him Galvatron. He then uses the battered bodies of the other Decepticons and creates Scourge the Sweeps and Cyclonus. Unicron also gives Galvatron a vessel and Galvatron begins to carry out his assigned task although he is loath to do so.
