Hi, I know it's a bit of a weird question but can the enigma of combination be powered up enough to combine all transformers into one being? Can unicron and primus be merged back into The One?
Dear One Wonderer,
I find your question intriguing. There are examples of worlds where all the Cybertronians have merged into one being; the Planicrons of the two-dimensional Flatworld are a prominent example. However, I'm afraid I do not know the answer to your second question; in fact, what you posit isn't always the case. In some universes, the One created Unicron, and split him in two to form Primus. However... I am reminded of... a story. I'm not sure where I heard it from; perhaps it was a tale formed over time. Perhaps it's a vision my brother, Logos, saw while writing his book. But nevertheless...
In the beginning, there was one universe. And in this solitary cosmos, there was the One. The One awoke at the beginning, and found the universe forming around them. Fascinated by this, the One created a child to explore this cosmos: Unicron. And for a time, Unicron explored, recording the stars as they formed and giving them names. But the One was distant to their child, and eventually, Unicron asked for a companion. And so, the One split Unicron into three, giving them each a sector of spacetime to look through. The first, retaining the name Unicron, was to look over entropy and chaos. His brother, Primus, looked over the forces of order and change, while his sister, Gaea, presided over the domain of life and light. And for a time, there was peace.
However, in time, Unicron grew jealous over the One's seemingly greater affection for his siblings. While Primus and Gaea used their powers of order and life to create wonderful new things, Unicron’s control over chaos only brought about destruction. Eventually, Unicron confronted their parent, accusing them of neglect and hatred, and began tearing apart the cosmos. What Unicron did not know is that the One loved their children equally, and felt that Unicron's entropic nature was just as beautiful as his siblings’. Heartbroken, the One died, and the three deities fought as the universe collapsed around them, with Unicron consuming his siblings in the end, as the solitary universe collapsed into a single point known as the Void. And then came the second universe, which split into the third, and the fourth, growing into a new multiverse. All three siblings were reborn, and from then on, you know much of the story. Primus tricked Unicron into inhabiting asteroids, while Gaea became the Earth, interlinking Cybertron and Earth for all time. Unicron began devouring the cosmos, and Primus, in response, created children of his own. They were the dream; mechanical beings able to transform their bodies into vehicles, machinery, and weapons; they were the Transformers. And for a time, they served as the last line of defense against Unicron. Each Transformer was powered by a spark, and when they died, their sparks travelled to an extra-dimensional realm known by names such as the Allspark and the Afterspark, where they formed a singular consciousness of all knowledge of all Cybertronians throughout space and time. And from this, came a famous saying: "till all are one."
Millions of years passed. Billions. Trillions. Until eventually, the multiverse began to dwindle, as one by one the universes faded. Cybertrons and Earths died. Gaea and Primus died. And eventually, Unicron died, consumed by his own force of entropy. But one endured; the singular consciousness of the quadrillions of Transformers who had passed on. The multiverse contracted into a single point around this entity, and eventually, from there, a new universe was born... and then...
In the beginning, there was one universe. And in this solitary cosmos, there was the One. The One awoke at the beginning, and found the universe forming around them. Fascinated by this, the One created a child to explore this cosmos: Unicron.
