The story

In the beginning, there were thirteen original gods. They each had their own little place, but in between them were vast spaces of nothing. The ruler of the gods was Omega Maximus, the god of wisdom. He saw how unbalanced the space was, so in secret without counseling the other gods, he offered to young gods Primus and Unicron to create a universe that was balanced. 

Primus, being the god of creation and Unicron, the god of chaos, they set out together to build an infinite universe and they did. A universe that filled up all the empty space and was balanced. Creation led to chaos and chaos led to creation in an infinite cycle that could not be broken. When they returned, Omega Maximus appointed them his disciples but their celebration was cut short because the other gods stormed in and put Omega Maximus in a prison for gods

Iike him and cast him out into the universe. 

After the other gods left, Primus and Unicron set out to find their master. When they did, they found him in physical destruction. Primus was called forth to be consulted by the elders. Unicron followed his brother to the council chambers. He was stopped and had to stay behind while Primus went forth. "The council has decided that because you are the disciple of the wise one that you must take an oath to ensure that this mistake will not happen again. Primus took the oath. 

Then there is the matter of choosing a new leader and the council has already decided that it would only be reasonable to have the disciple of Omega Maximus and the god of creation to be king. Primus could not contain his joy for this is what Omega wanted. The celebrations lasted for centuries and all that while, they forgot about one particular person — Unicron. 

Unicron was so furious that he went to the place of the universe’s creation and planted a seed — not a normal seed, but a seed of hate, of all-consuming hate, and it grew rapidly in its creator’s presence. It became a super-massive black hole that not even light could escape its grasp. 

With that happening all around the universe, Primus was aware of its evil presence so he tried to create something out of light to stop it. But Unicron had already planned for this so when Primus cast his stars out, the black holes seeded them so when they died, they became black holes or nothing. 

With this done, Unicron set out to get followers. His first was Orion, the god of war, who pledged himself as Unicron’s disciple. As Unicron was doing this, so was Primus. He recruited Alfa Supreme, the god of civilization, as his disciple. Primus kept racing with Unicron to get followers. Unicron’s other followers were Vandus Magnus, Zylos, Dracous, and Plutos. Primus had gathered as many followers as he could. They were Cylious, the god of science, Terra, goddess of organic matter, and Elvon, god of peace. 

When the war began, it churned the universe and it seemed that the universe was fighting itself. The war raged on for eons and the universe started to split out into empty space. In the height of the war, Orion was split into 7 small pieces that we now call Orion. 

During a certain calm in the storm of war, Terra snuck into the enemy base, but to Unicron himself. She was captured and imprisoned as Earth. She and the planet mixed together and formed Earth late in the war. Cylious had made the cybernetic organism based on Primus’ form and when Unicron heard of it, he secretly implanted some of his own design to the beings and then destroyed Cylious. 

Primus came too late, and in his greatest act of friendship for the Cybertronians who were already based upon him, he took it upon himself to ensure their safety and gave Cylious’ spark to himself to breed Cybertronians in the final days of war when it was just Primus and Unicron. They fought a great battle and in the end, Primus decided to create the primes to lead the Cybertronians and then he tried to sacrifice himself to destroy Unicron, but the primes took a piece of Omega Maximus’ spark. With this spark, they created the matrix and used it to destroy Unicron, but in the process Primus got so exhausted from fighting Unicron that he was content to lay in planet form until he is needed again. 

When the primes thought they had defeated Unicron, one of them saw his planet form footing away and then a huge chunk of dark Energon fell towards him. He hid it and vowed to bring back Unicron. Energon is the blood of Primus and he can regenerate it while in planet form as Unicron can regenerate dark Energon at will.
