Dear Vector Prime, are there realities where Unicrons influence, aside from being Earths Core, really did effect the evolution of life on Earth?
Dear Corruptive Conceptualiser,
Of course. Ever since his first defeat during the Unicron Wars, Unicron has possessed a strange relationship with the Earth and her children, beginning with its being drenched in Angolmois at the moment of his destruction.
Though it took many years for the humans to discover the energy sealed beneath their feet, the discovery of Angolmois Energy prompted rapid technological advancement. Humans lived longer, and were served first by Angolmois-powered androids like Artemis, and then the Selectors, true super-robot lifeforms sparked by Angolmois.
Now, Angolmois Energy may be Unicron's most cunning weapon. While Dark Energon actively corrupts on a base level, in its purest state Angolmois is a neutral substance, one which can be used for good. Heroes like Volcanicus and Magnaboss have been able to wield its power against injustice, but that is a compliment to themselves, not their power source. You see, Angolmois resonates with the hearts of those around it. The Dinobots' brutal honour and Magnaboss' three-weighted balance kept the energy pure. But Angolmois is power, and power engenders a malevolent greed.
First, the Angolmois slept below the ground. From 2005 on, the hatred and resentment of Earth's inhabitants seeped into the energy. Mundane evils like prejudice and dominance were exacerbated by the planets' status as a battleground for various Cybertronian conflicts. By 2040, the humans believed they deserved a rest, and set about the creation of servants using their newfound power.
As you may well know, the Selectors would rebel as their Cybertronian cousins once did, and the ensuing rage on all sides sent the Angolmois into a frenzy. The human leaders came to the conclusion that their presence was a danger to the Earth, and made efforts to leave. As for the Selectors… well. Out of respect for their leader Rung and his freedom, I will not assume to self-select to tell his story.
However, this influence went both ways. Angolmois carried not just the rage of the Earthlings, but their knowledge too, thanks to its use as the Mother Computer's power source. When the Blentrons revived Unicron in the far future, he took the form of the Earth's mightiest shapes as recorded in the computer: a drill tank/dragon triple-changer, just as Galvatron once did.
So you see, thanks to the bond of Angolmois Energy, Unicron and the Earth's inhabitants stayed connected far into the distant future. Perhaps this should be a lesson to you: thanks to unforeseen factors, any minor villainy widens the gyre beyond anyone's control.
...and yet. When Unicron reincarnated thanks to the accumulated Angolmois, Big Convoy was there to stop him. Big Convoy only had the strong heart necessary to defeat Unicron thanks to his journey across the galaxy collecting the Angolmois Capsules, which had been taken from the abandoned Earth. Earth became drenched in Angolmois only after Hot Rod opened the Matrix in 2005. The Matrix had been passed down from leader to leader, forming a Primal Succession starting with Primus. Were all these events part of the future He foresaw?
