The '''Heralds of Unicron''' are a group of villainous [[Transformers]] so called because of their allegiance to [[Unicron]].

==History==
===Generation 1===
====Animated series====
Though not referred to as such in ''[[The Transformers: The Movie]]'', the earliest known Heralds of Unicron are [[Galvatron (Generation 1)|Galvatron]], [[Cyclonus]], [[Scourge (Transformers)|Scourge]], and the minions of Galvatron's two closest commanders. Having been reformatted from defeated Decepticons by Unicron, they were dispatched to destroy the [[Matrix of Leadership]] and prevent it from being used against Unicron. However, from the start Galvatron served Unicron only out of necessity and because Unicron inflicted great pain upon him, and he continuously sought means of betraying him.

In ''[[Beast Wars Second]]'' Unicron was served by a trio of Transformers known as the [[Blendtrons]], who revived him by infusing massive amounts of Angolmois into the lifeless body of [[Galvatron (Beast Wars II)|Predacon Galvatron]].

====Marvel Comics====

====BotCon/3H Enterprises====
[[Shokaract]], a [[Predacon (Transformers)|Predacon]] who served as the host of Unicron's essence in ''[[Transformers: Reaching the Omega Point]]'', employed Heralds as his minions as well. The two most notable ones were [[Antagony]] and [[Cataclysm (Transformers)|Cataclysm]], with Cataclysm's brother the Cub also attempting to become a Herald before joining the fight against Shokaract as part of the mighty fusion [[Windrazor]]. In ''[[Transformers: Universe]]'' Unicron commanded an army of Transformers who served him either willingly or due to being corrupted by his darkness, who were known as the '''Minions of Unicron''' as well as '''Heralds'''. This group included such notables as [[Tarantulas (Transformers)|Tarantulas]], alternate versions of [[Obsidian (Transformers)|Obsidian]] and [[Tankor]], and [[Razorclaw]].

====IDW Publishing====
In ''[[Beast Wars: The Ascending]]'', Shokaract-once again a vessel for Unicron though in this case a sacrificial one-was served by various Heralds, including the Blendtrons, Antagony, and various Angolmois-transformed Predacons from ''Beast Wars Second.''

===Unicron Trilogy===
====Animated series====
''[[Transformers: Armada]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Energon]]'' both featured beings who served Unicron in various fashions. [[Sideways]] was revealed to serve the Chaos Bringer towards the conclusion of the former series, with the [[Mini-Cons]] also being identified as his creations, though they eventually rebelled against him. The ''Armada'' version of [[Nemesis Prime]] may also have been a minion of Unicron, as the image of Sideways was seen briefly upon its destruction. In ''Energon'' [[Alpha Q]]'s [[Terrorcons]] sought to revive Unicron, though at the behest of Alpha Q or [[Galvatron (Unicron Trilogy)|Megatron]] rather than Unicron himself. Unicron's evil also possessed Megatron/Galvatron and [[Shockblast]] at various times, though whether this made them minions is unclear, particularly since Unicron later destroyed Shockblast after the Decepticon warrior started to regain control of himself.

====Dreamwave Productions====
In the Transformers comic from [[Dreamwave Productions]], Unicron dispatched several Transformers-including versions of his ''Generation 1'' Heralds-to a version of the [[Unicron Trilogy]] universe. However, they were defeated by that universe's Decepticons, due in part to one of them forming the [[Star Saber]].

====Fun Publications====
Continuing from the cancelled ''Universe'' line, ''[[Transformers: Timelines]]'' featured additional Heralds of Unicron: [[Scorponok#Unicron Trilogy|Dark Scorponok]] and [[Ramjet (Transformers)|Ramjet]]. It also featured another Nemesis Prime similar in appearance to [[Big Convoy]] whose tech spec identified him as the '''Champion of Unicron''', a title not previously seen that may be indicative of higher status among Unicron's minions. The [[Planet X (Transformers)|Planet X]] Transformers Sideways and [[Soundwave (Unicron Trilogy)|Soundwave]] from ''[[Transformers: Cybertron]]'' were also revealed to have been Unicron's minions.

===Transformers: Timelines===
====Shattered Glass====
In the ''Shattered Glass'' reality, the noble [[Unicron]] reformatted several villainous Autobots into his noble '''Knights of Unicron''' under the leadership of [[Nova Prime (Shattered Glass)|Nova Prime]]. The other members were [[X-Brawn]], [[Checkpoint (Transformers)|Checkpoint]], and Checkpoint's [[Autotroopers]].
