  • Herald of Unicron
rdfs:comment
  • The term's first canonical use was in the Fun Publications fanclub comic "Balancing Act" where Ramjet refers to himself specifically as the "Herald of Unicron". Later, IDW used the term in Beast Wars II Galvatron's Beast Wars Sourcebook biography.
  • "Herald of Unicron" originated as a fan term for Transformers who serve, or have been reformatted by, Unicron. It was used in much the same way as shellformer, or as seeker used to be; and like "seeker" has since graduated to (admittedly rare) usage in official sources. Despite its official rarity, fanfictions are rife with it, making it part of the greater fanon. It most likely originates from the term "Herald of Galactus" from various Marvel comics, given the similarities between Unicron and Galactus.
