TRANSFORMERS: THE BASICS on DARK ENERGON 

With the state of the world, he could have been right.

Not world ending but close enough?

Well, cartoons and manga.

@@streetwatcher_ I prefer that really

You know, Quasimodo predicted all this.

Galvatron: "Pure energy."

Fr fr

Indeed

"I needed that!"

Something something something...daarrrk side.

Correctly, they explained since Primacron discovered the energy and showed to Primus, but he was afraid of it. Not wanting to lose it, Primacron created Neo Primus as prototype for Unicron. Unicron's purpose was to collect and contain Augumla energy, but he rebelled.

Wow 😮

Agreed I can understand Furman altering it to be Evil because of how he made Unicron as basically Transformers equivalent to the Devil but I do prefer the Japanese version because Power though it can be destructive can be used for either good or evil.

I mean it makes sense, demons were originally of heavenly stock ya know.

@@docbaker3333 I came up with an infinity spark!!

i think megatron trying to free himself from the influence of unicron and make it so he can be one with the allspark again could be a good premise for a show

Starscream as well.

@@ltb1345 I don't think so because unlike Megatron, he did not have the DE permanently imbedded in his body. He jabbed a piece of DE inside his Spark once, pull it out and never used it again. Megatron on the other hand used a DE shard to resurrect himself from his coma and it had stayed in his Spark through the remainder of the show. I believe as long as you take out the DE out of your body, if it's possible it is still in its solid form, you can be completely free of its influence as if you had never had it in your body to begin with. Which begs the question; does that mean Silas, after he died he goes ro Unicron's Antispark? Because he was forced to take DE in liquid form.

@@alphaaufa1890 Don't think humans have a connection of that sort. Dark Energon acts more like a poison to the squishies.

​@@alphaaufa1890 I feel like if god does exist in tfp he would have sent silos at the bare minimum to purgatory and at worst hell but I can now only imagine primus and Unicron arguing only for God to come out of nowhere and smack them both and telling to shut up because humanity is trying to sleep

It won't be surprising if Raf had to deal with the trauma of nearly getting killed from Dark Energon.

Optimus actually stops desiring to make amends with Megatron and actually tries to go for the kill afterwards. Megatron at that moment crossed the line for Optimus.

I thought the thing that created them was called the one And respectively primus and unicron mean like the 1st and unique one don't they?

@@plantainsame2049 It's complicated but there's two (technically three but it doesn't matter for this conversation) types of Unicron's in the multiverse. The US G1 cartoon universe and Japanese G1 cartoon universe has the Unicron that is created by a version of Primacron and these are called Primacronian Unicrons. The second type of Unicron was created as one half of The One at the beginning of the multiverse and is the one you see the most in TF media. He's known as the multiversal singularity Unicron. However, a certain event in one of the TF comics, The Shroud, caused the multiversal singularity Unicron to separate across the multiverse and basically rewrote history so that every Unicron (apart from the Primacronian Unicrons and the other type I talked about obviously) had separate forms and memories for each universe and forgot about their multiversal pasts. Confusing, I know but hopefully this helps you out :)

​@@mildcomedy9865 and in the shattered glass universe primus is the evil one and Unicron is the good guy so imagine him being earth in that universe and him getting pissed off by the fact that humanity is dead thanks to primus and just going ape shit on him

Isn't Starscream in the boat as well?

@@cillianstewart9441 presumably

@@cillianstewart9441 he removed his shared and was never able to synchronize with it like Megatron did

One of the first things Megatron did after obtaining it was transfer some to Barricade and Brawl, who accompanied him in raiding the station. One can presume that this is what led to the two becoming the exceptionally angry and violent Decepticons we know them to be. So, what about them?

​@@ShanaReviews I "get" what you're trying to say. But just like with modern religion, I'm sure there is a work around to it.

*Unicron

Technically that was canon until the Shroud happened. I still claim that is still the case.

Unicron in the US G1 cartoon universe and Japanese G1 cartoon universe are actually a different type of Unicron that is separate from the (once was) multiversal singularity Unicron. Obviously, it doesn't really matter what the differences are now because of the Shroud but it's still nice to know lol

@@mildcomedy9865 still really hate the idea of the Shroud as that was a cool concept that ended up ruined…

@@Megamanlanprime I think the intent of giving writer's more freedom when writing their own versions of Unicron, Primus, the OG Primes and the artifacts was nice but it kinda just made the multiverse more confusing than it already is, especially considering the fact that they for some reason made it harder to travel to different universes which nobody really followed cause it pretty much meant that most writers couldn't write any multiversal stories unless they introduced something that changes the rules of the Shroud. At the end of the day, if Hasbro wanted to have more freedom with writing anything related to Primus or Unicron, they could've just made up another universal cluster that's outside of the multiverse like what the Uniend cluster used to be.

I thought he was always a villain? It's been a while since I watched the original G1 cartoon but I always recall him being an antagonist

​@warlordsquerk5338 He was only really a villain in the sense that he created Unicron and Tornedron, who both rebelled against him and go consuming everything in sight. Primacron himself was a relatively neutral figure who let his ego get the better of him. Either way he only appeared in one episode, and Grimlock ended his threat for good by absentmimdedly destroying his lab.

Unicron= Galactus ;p

​@@mr.mammuthusafricanavus8299 I mean your not exactly wrong there

Guy needs a Snickers badly. Though I'm not sure how you'd procure one large enough for him.

He was dead for hours before they injected his corpse. His spark had already moved on by that point

Truly correct

I do not understand how that’s possible!

So, you're saying he has a small intestine?

@@videogollumer In a nutshell Yes, I guess

im late i know, but he's not so much hungry as he just hates existence and so consumes everything its like a hurricane who hates you and your existence

2 weeks more

And Autobot drones

@@streetwatcher_ You mean Autotroopers, as coined by Transformers Animated tie-in media.

@@bradtobin839 never heard of that

@@streetwatcher_ Derrick Wyatt and the Animated crew coined that in and outside of Botcon before the "Season 4" Comics like the Stunticon Job were introduced, to explain the generic soldiers in season 3 that look like an obese Tailgate. This term was then used for the Autobot generics in the scrapped MOTA Transformers Universe.

In my fanwork of Transformers, Angolmois is a drug made from a successful mixer of Energon and Dark Energon. The Cons get their hands on it to fight the war. I say successful because if not done right, kaboom.

He had no idea if was on this day. Plus Unicron fever is still high after ROTB so why not do something related to him?

@@gabrielchee8470 The Basics on the "Heralds of Unicron"? You could even include the Four Horsemen from the Armada and Energon toyline-tie-in comics universe by Dreamwave Productions, and feature the originals from G1 all the way to Scourge's team in ROTB.

Making dark energon just alter by other energons and normal is effect by purity but primus rare state making light energon pious his mind?

But also interesting how starscream said dark energon could artificially manufactured

@@streetwatcher_ how is that even possible?

duly appointed enforcer of the Tyrest accord

That would be interesting especially in the war/fall of cybertron games

Surely, you can't be serious.

@@IsiahTomas I am serious, and don't call me Shirley!

Blood, Sang, Sangre, Blut, Sangue, Koko, Кровь, 血, דָם , دم, खून, Αίμα, Bloed, Igazi; we call it by different names, but they essentially mean the same thing.

Thanks and good to know!

Currently! But expect things more frequently next month!

@@ChrisMcFeely Say Chris I have an idea for another Basics video if you’re interested, it’s about the Crossover story “Code Prime” A fanfiction crossover story between the Aligned Community of Transformers and the Japanese anime Code Geass.
