The Fun Publications Cybertron fan club comic created the idea that the Unicron Singularity was warping and altering space-time to explain away continuity errors between the English dub of the Cybertron cartoon and the two previous series to which it was supposed to be a sequel. It is possible that it could also be used as a blanket explanation for continuity errors in the previous series and things like Sky Shadow's backstory as well. Using this excuse, one could effectively explain away every plot hole from every fictional continuity ever. Gotta love Fun Publications.

Re: Transformers: Starscream's Ghost
Spoilers for those of you who somehow haven't seen the Ghost Starscream episodes:
I find it amusing that Starscream later manages to trick Unicron--the being Cybertronians consider their equivalent of the Devil--into giving him a new body and then, true to form, double crosses him. One of Ol' Screamer's rare moments of awesome.

In the G1 Cartoon, Unicron isn't the robot devil, he's a space monkey's escaped science project.PapaPalpatine wrote: ↑Fri May 11, 2018 4:29 am Spoilers for those of you who somehow haven't seen the Ghost Starscream episodes:

And the Matrix is the space monkey's computer.

In the G1 Cartoon continuity, Unicron isn't the chaos bringer, or the counterpart to Primus, or an embodiment of evil.Fuzzy Necromancer wrote: ↑Sun May 13, 2018 6:44 am...beg pardon?Ghilz wrote: ↑Sun May 13, 2018 12:28 amIn the G1 Cartoon, Unicron isn't the robot devil, he's a space monkey's escaped science project.PapaPalpatine wrote: ↑Fri May 11, 2018 4:29 am Spoilers for those of you who somehow haven't seen the Ghost Starscream episodes:

And the Matrix is the space monkey's computer.
He's built by a space monkey. THIS space monkey. He (Unicron) is his escaped lab project. The Matrix is said space monkey's assistant/personal computer, who also fucked off for its own reason.
And no, this space monkey has no relation to cybertronians. He's not their creator (or the quintesson's creators).
