===Unicron=== He goes by many names; The Lord of Chaos, The Chaos Bringer, and The Planet Eater, among many others spoken hesitantly over the centuries. His goal is singular; to destroy anything and everything within known existence, the Warp included, until there is nothing left in the void of space and he destroys that as well. While he is the polar opposite of his twin brother Primus, he assumes the form of a living planet just like him. He gains substance by devouring worlds, stars, and anything in between. His current whereabouts are unknown, but there has not been a reported sighting of him since the tail-end of the Great War when he was supposedly defeated until the very end of the forty-first millennium. It is thought that the opening of the Eye somehow reawakened Unicron, the turbulent energies attracting him like a moth to a flame. Some believe he can transcend his physical planet form and travel to different dimensions or even different universes at will. It is possible he can never truly be defeated, simply escaping to another plane of existence. Many Transformers and even organic beings who seek power might end up in Unicron's corrupting hand. Like the Dark Gods, Unicron gathers followers and boons them with unnatural gifts so they can fulfil his blasphemous dreams. Many are stripped of their free will in the process but some, like Ramjet, follow him willingly out of their twisted desires. Many believe he is gathering his army of darkness, waiting for the opportune moment to reveal himself and consume the Galaxy. Still, in the end, his followers will simply be devoured along with everything else, and he will move to another galaxy or even another dimension to consume again. Those who worship Unicron are mad and nihilistic, craving little more than power and the end to all things. The lucky among them are even transformed into his heralds; dreadfully powerful beings who enact his will. In some of the ancient, forgotten texts of the covenant of Primus, it is said that Unicron is not one of this or any universe, but is instead a traveller between realities who ends each one in turn as he awakens them unless he is stopped. These texts speak of an apocalyptic process of the devouring of worlds and stars until he at last gains enough strength to release a chaos plague that devolves reality itself until all crumbles into formless entropy and the universe itself dies; allowing him to continue onto his next target to pursue his nihilistic rage against every possible iteration of existence. Whether or not this is true, even the followers of the Chaos gods fear and loathe Unicron, for the all-devourer will leave nothing for even them to corrupt and may even destroy them for the insolence of claiming to be lords of Chaos when he has come to claim the stars. Unicron's cult finds little acceptance even among the Decepticons, being viewed as a threat to its major warlords who have more secular motivations and aims and many of whom still hold some loyalty to Primus' name. But given that Unicron's cult wants nothing more than to end existence itself when it makes itself known it can at times generate strange alliances of those opposed to the ender of worlds. The Inquisition considers the cult of Unicron to be a class platinum AAA moral threat to the integrity of the Imperium as some madmen in the Imperium try to invoke the Dark God's name in the hopes of his favour, occasionally even summoning some of his more infamous heralds who have only ever been repulsed with great loss of life. The Harlequins dedicate several troupes to thwarting his schemes, and even Chaos warbands, Necron Dynasties, and Tyranid Hive Fleets will oppose Unicron cultists if they are known to them and many seers report that he will bring about the end of days, though those who make such defeatist predictions in the Imperium are usually executed. In a sort of ironic twist, Unicron prefers the services of Cybertronians above any other species despite the Cybertronians' nature as his enemy's children. This is likely due to the greater size and strength of the Cybertronians compared to other species, as well as the Chaos bringer's delight in corrupting that which his brother has created. That is not to say that members of other species deranged enough to pay homage to that which seeks to destroy every last living soul in the galaxy in unspeakable torment are not sometimes rewarded with his favour. But he will prefer to grant his gifts to the children of Primus, with only a relative handful of members of other species have ever found themselves in enough of Unicron's graces to ascend to the coveted status of Herald to enjoy the vast powers offered by such a position. Lesser gifts brought about by his corruptive influence, however, have been often recorded in non-cybertronian cultists in a manner reminiscent of chaos marks or mutations. Some of these include chaos warbands and loyalist Astartes, with the Nurglite warband known as the Purge renouncing Nurgle to serve Unicron in the hopes of joining the Destroyer's cleansing of the galaxy after witnessing his destructive power, to Nurgle's rage and Unicron's amusement, while others like some of the most extremely destructive Necron dynasties see him as a worthy master and have pledged their fleets to him. It cannot be denied that Unicron's armies are slowly but surely growing as many succumb to his corruption, his dark energon raises deceased transformers into his unliving legions, and others begin to follow him out of a love of his carnage and a belief that they may join his crusade to end all there is and all that ever will be. Wiping out inhabited worlds and systems at a truly frightful pace, the very mention of Unicron's name now brings fear to the hearts of courts across the galaxy as Unicron adds himself to the many factors that make it seem like the forty-second millennium will be the galaxy's last. ====The Fallen==== [[File:240px-Fallen-warwithin.jpg|thumb|right|Megatronus Prime; The Fallen; Archangel of Destruction]] Unicron counts some beings as his greatest servants, those who have travelled with him since time immemorial to serve him; first and foremost being the Fallen, Megatronus Prime and Primus' wayward son. The Fallen, like Unicron, is said to be a divine being, not truly capable of being destroyed even if his body appears to die, and is said to have taken on many shapes. Made into a guardian of entropy, the orderly dissolution of all things; whether great or small to oversee and curtail its destructive powers and ensure that it did not devolve into chaos and thus become a tool of Unicron, the nature of the force that Megatronus tried to control in the end consumed him and with the prodding of the Liege Maximo; the first of the original thirteen to spurn the path of good; turned to madness and betrayed his brothers and sister to Unicron, slaying his sister Solus Prime and siding with Unicron in the first war before sharing his fate of banishment. The Fallen has occasionally reappeared, with some accounts even claiming to have seen his body destroyed; but such a formless evil can never truly be destroyed by mundane or even divine means, and it is said that even if the Fallen is shattered in a way he cannot reform from; Unicron himself will reconstitute his favoured servant to plague the stars once more. The first of Unicron's servants and the burning herald of entropy, the Fallen is worshipped in his own right by the cult of Unicron. Those cultists of Unicron who choose to hold the Fallen above all other Heralds of Unicron are the most apocalyptic of his servants. Just as the Fallen wants to see all of Reality reduced to ash and embers, to burn in the fires of entropy until nothing remains and nothing can live; so too does the Fallen sect seek to destroy and ruin, rather than corrupt or enslave. Those of the sect of the Fallen have at many times tried to destroy entire planets at a time with the aid of dreadful artifacts or schemes meant to do little more than destroy everything they can as thoroughly as they can; purposefully trying to beget the act of Exterminatus so that what they see as another bastion of the wretched nature of existence will perish. Apocalypse cults in every sense of the word, the Fallen's favoured are at the very least, generally unsubtle in most cases. His artifact is the Requiem Blaster, which he has used to end entire worlds with a single shot and is a weapon of such power that it can destroy, not simply banish; even Greater Daemons with a single shot though he no longer needs it; having ascended and left it behind for mortals to destroy themselves over a chance to fire it, and were that not enough, his physical prowess and other artifacts make him such a terrifying opponent to face that he has yet to ever lose a battle in the few times Unicron's favoured servant makes himself known. If Unicron is to the Cybertronians as the Chaos gods are to man, then the Fallen is very much Horus ascendant to their kind, the embodiment of just how far they can fall. <center>'''"You call yourselves servants of Chaos and yet you continue to try and build and corrupt, you seek to make your own empires in dedication to your young gods and merely seek to pervert what order has created. You and your gods do not even deserve the moniker of Chaos, you are nothing more than another set of squabbling children who call their petty cruelties defiant of the nature of creation. Let me tell you of real chaos then. I will see all things reduced to ash, I will hear you scream as you watch your beloved gods dissolve into the primordial soup of oblivion as every last star goes dark and their planets become dust. I will savour your agony as your "chaos" perishes as the shrivelled husk of life breathes its last, and then as you realize that everything you have achieved in this existence was for nothing, only then will I allow you the mercy of final oblivion. These are the terms of my bargain with you and your little princedom.''' - The Fallen to the Tzeentchilist Daemon Prince Imargathulas.</center> ====Nemesis Prime==== [[File:Nemesis Prime.png|thumb|right|upright=0.56|225px|Nemesis Prime]] There are two accounts of who Nemesis Prime is. One account says that he is a dark doppelganger of Optimus Prime created by Unicron himself to mirror and oppose the greatest of the Autobots, infused with his dark matrix that is rife with the power of evil. In this account, he is essentially a being of nothing more than pure evil, a malevolent presence who has never known good or order and will simply corrupt and decay all as surely as fire will burn everything it touches. Another more blasphemous account, however, says that he is Nova Prime; a long past predecessor of Optimus and even Sentinel. During the golden age of Cybertron, Nova Prime organized an expedition beyond the galaxy and even beyond the known universe and the warp, looking for glories to catalogue and conquer for Cybertron. Seen as the greatest Prime since the original thirteen, a blade-winged angel of Primus whose white and noble form brought those who beheld it to ease and spread the Cybertronian Empire far and wide, Nova's preparation for departure was eagerly followed by the Cybertronians as he brought with him the cream of Cybertron's crop; with such brilliant figures as Lord Straxus and Jhiaxus following him in his voyage. However, Nova Prime and his fleet never returned after their voyage; most assuming they had activated the space bridge and entered a reality incompatible with their existence and were thus snuffed out instantly. Others, however, say that Nova Prime came across Unicron in a place where life could not exist, and was slain and then raised as an undead creature along with the rest of his crew. Unicron rebuilt the prime as Nemesis Prime, his undead herald of corruption who would seek to bring low all that Unicron's brother stood for not with raging fire and flame, but with a deep physical corruption, where even the spark would not be spared being turned to Unicron's dark and twisted services. Those of Unicron's cult who hold Nemesis in the highest regard seek to spread forth dark energon and other forms of Unicron's corruptive power, engaging in acts that can only be described as Necromantic to mimic the undead nature of Nemesis Prime and his acolytes. More subtle than the Fallen's burning rage, Nemesis Prime's influence leaves withered worlds in its wake, worlds where the dead do not rest quietly. ====Galvatron==== Unicron's servants outside of cultist dregs who have relatively little idea of just what they serve are a rarity, but some claim to be his heralds, his princes of entropy and darkness, one of the most active and notorious among them is Galvatron. The massively powerful and violently insane Galvatron has a startling amount of charisma to him, at times being as charming as Starscream, but such moments of clarity are but a thin veil over a being who can be considered deranged even by Unicron's standards. Most would do well to stay on his good side, however, as his cannon has been known to be the cause of the destruction of at least one moon and his fists have been known to turn whole land raiders inside out in a single blow. What makes Galvatron even more terrifying is that he claims a connection to Megatron. Indeed, although he also seems to see Megatron as somehow disconnected from him, he claims to ''be'' the Slagmaker, reforged to serve the true lord of all Transformers. Though this is naturally greeted with scepticism and violent opposition by some of Megatron's more devoted followers, indeed, Galvatron often makes surprisingly accurate references to events that Megatron partook in before his disappearance. Even chiming in with details few, if any, other than the Slagmaker himself should have known! Some have wondered if Galvatron might be some sort of failed reconstruction effort, or perhaps a clone. One outlandish theory suggests that Galvatron is, in reality, a version of Megatron from a different timeline, dragged here to this reality to assist in Unicron's quest of devouring this dimension. If the Fallen is the embodiment of Unicron the destroyer and Nemesis Prime stands as Unicron the corruptor, Galvatron is Unicron in his most chaotic form, with little in the way of lucidity, a being whose rampant insanity makes him difficult, if not impossible to fully control even for the mighty Unicron. Those who offer their services to him tend to share this madness and can be as unpredictable as they are terrifying. In recent years it appears that Galvatron has slipped his leash and is actively attempting to subjugate his former master, the demented goal appears to have directed his unchecked rage and insanity into one avenue which has afforded him a startling amount of clarity especially when tempered by his dedicated second in command Cyclonus and the brilliant yet modest Constructicon leader Scrapper. '''Servants of Galvatron''' *Cyclonus: Galvatron's second in command, a loyal and intelligent 'bot Cyclonus is a deadly aerial combatant, his sleek fighter form allowing flying circles around any who try to fight him in his domain. Despite his general contempt for humanity, Cyclonus feels a certain respect for the Adeptus Astartes. *Scourge: A tireless tracker, Scourge revels in the chase. Leading his tireless legion of huntsmen, the Sweeps, Scourge is a merciless tracker who hunts down those who oppose his master. Despite his robot mode being lightly armed compared to his companion Cyclonus, Scourge's weapon is a lethally corrosive acid blaster that not even the Tyranids have managed to counteract. *Abominus: One of the Decepticon Gestalts found by Galvatron, Abominus is the combined form of the animalistic Terrorcons. The five Terrorcons consist of the Gluttonous commander Hun-Gurr, the "so bloodthirsty he'd give a Bloodthirster pause" Cutthroat, the sadistic Sinnertiwn, the unhygienic Blot, and Rippersnapper, who has a massive inferiority complex. The Terrorcons are brutal, animalistic killers, which reflects in Abominus' complete drive to kill anything and everything in the nearby area. *Menasor: Another of the Decepticon Gestalts in service of Galvatron, Menasor is the combined form of the Stunticons. The Stunticons, consisting of the vicious and cruel leader Motormaster, the victory-obsessed Dragstrip, the eternally depressed Dead-end, the psychotic Wildrider, and the paranoid Breakdown. Menasor can be described as insane, a reflection of the sheer loathing every member of the squadron holds towards Motormaster. As such, Menasor is prone to tantrums of pure rage, and can be described as a "walking destruction derby." This makes him a weapon not to "point and aim", but to "set loose and get away from." *Devastator: The last of the three Gestalts under Galvatron, Devastator is unique in that he has six components instead of five. His composing members, the Constructicons, are the brilliant team leader Scrapper, the manic chemist Mixmaster, the berzerker Bonecrusher, the insecure Scavenger, the massive Long Haul, and the perfectionist medic Hook. Devastator was the first Decepticon Gestalt and has the simplest mind as a result. Due to his having six components, he is the largest of the Gestalts and has enhanced strength as a result. ====Ramjet==== Said to have been trapped in a "space between spaces" before Unicron reconstituted him, Ramjet is often said to be the "mouth of Unicron", an almost gibbering creature who bears resemblance to Starscream's seekers. Seemingly comprised of anti-matter only prevented from exploding through his sheer force of will and Unicron's dark favour, Ramjet chooses to follow Unicron in his aspect of the remaker. Just as Unicron remade him into the wretched abomination that he is now, his followers "remake" things in shapes more pleasing to Unicron, in a manner that is perhaps in a way more horrible than the corruptive withering that Nemesis Prime creates. Whereas Nemesis drains life and goodness to leave withered husks that Cybertronians call Terrorcons and "dead worlds", Ramjet's methods are much more brutal, much more painful, and much more sudden. Autobots and Decepticons are left as shuddering, mangled wrecks; still alive in a manner that most would consider death a preferable alternative to. Ramjet's followers make monsters out of heroes and bedlam out of paradise. There is not the cold, stale corruption of Nemesis here; but a frenzied mass of forcible and horrific change. Ramjet particularly delights in disfigurement and urges those who consider him Unicron's greatest speaker to partake in more such acts of abomination. This makes them particularly hated by the worshippers of Slaanesh, who share the Dark Prince's love of excessive beauty mixed with a tinge of horror; whereas all Ramjet sees is something that needs to be broken into a form that will make Unicron smile at its ruination before they too are destroyed by Ramjet's dark master. This is not to say anyone else is particularly safe from Ramjet's vision, as Ramjet sees the ideals of the galaxy's natives as amusing concepts all in need of being torn down; whether it be the blood and fury of Khorne or the ancient nobility of the Eldar, all will be reshaped for Unicron's pleasure. ====Sideways==== Embodying Unicron the deceiver and the liar, nobody is sure where Sideways comes from or if he was ever anything but Unicron's servant. Sideways is infamous for his ability to deceive people into aiding Unicron's designs, playing on any emotional weakness he sees to fuel that which Unicron feeds on; which includes conflict to Khorne's rage as Unicron leeches power that should be the Blood God's to feed his rampage to destroy this universe. Sideways is not as physically powerful as his fellows, though he is tremendously agile and maneuverable and is seemingly impossible to kill; regenerating even from total atomization, but that is not his power. Much like the Liege Maximo, his greatest strength has always been in getting people to do what they want when he wants them to. Brothers are set against brothers, allies become enemies, pacts that should have been forged against mutual enemies come undone, and the true threat is concealed until it is far too late to do anything about it, all of this pleases Unicron and all of these are things that Sideways has brought into being. Having once nearly brought the Autobots and Decepticons both to their knees with many aliases that led to a disastrous conflict until it was almost too late to stop Unicron, even Sideways' very name has become a byword for duplicity and treachery among the Cybertronians. Though once he had seemingly dismissed organic species as incapable of seriously affecting Unicron's plans, the great strength shown by organics, including the Eldar who had helped to stop Unicron from emerging in the galaxy the last time and the times that human children have helped to interfere in his plans, he has decided that they too shall know the chaos and strife of Unicron's influence. It is he who decided to start spearheading efforts to turn the efforts of mortals to folly through a long series of cat's paws and cults to the dark glory of his master, leading to upheavals and conflicts across the galaxy to weaken those who would seek to deny the Chaos Bringer his right to destroy the very stars themselves. His anarchic and duplicitous nature has earned him the particular ire of Anrakyr the Traveller, who has vowed to see Sideways destroyed after several conflicts with Unicron's trickster and most insidious of servants. Out of the original children of Primus, Vector Prime in particular opposes Sideways' manipulations. After tricking both Lufgt Huron and Logan Grimnar into thinking he was an ally and setting both up for a fruitless conflict before revealing his hand by trying to have both devoured by an army of Terrorcrons, he has earned the hatred of the red corsairs and space wolves too. ==== Other Dark Gods ==== Though Unicron is the greatest of the dark multiversal gods of Cybertronian lore, others exist, all ultimately subservient to Unicron in the end, but all working with Unicron in his quest to see every possible iteration of existence wiped away without even the barest trace left for posterity. These include the energy beast Tornedron; who voraciously consumes all energy that can be found, the D-Void; a beast born of a stillborn reality who hungers for the energies of life, and Hytherion; a wayward superweapon that consumes the very essence of time itself. Through these dark powers, Unicron's influence has been said to have spread across countless realities in a vast war with creation itself with all manner of legendary warriors being said to be fighting this war across all manner of realities.
