His ultimate goal is [to destroy Primus, then the rest of the universe] and the in-between of it all is grandstanding, ego-tripping, and stepping on any resistance. Even when Optimus points out that humanity is a spawn of Unicron's greatness, rather than expressing the slightest curiosity in how humanity could be useful in furthering his agenda, he bumps humankind up to number two on his list of targets after Optimus and deems them parasites.

* AudienceSurrogate: He serves the role as this.
* BadassNormal: Despite being a small, squishy human, he is able to use bravery and his wits to remain relevant in an engagement. As for specific examples:
** He uses a fire-starting kit to ignite energon to destroy Airachnid's ship, steals Silas's radio to contact Fowler even while surrounded by armed men and Silas himself, manages to direct a swarm of Scraplets to take down an Insecticon and later tricked the sentient Nemesis into rebooting itself with some DeadlyDodging.

* BadBoss: Naturally, since he's an OmnicidalManiac who wants to destroy everything. He's so awful that [[spoiler:Megatron actually pulls a HeelFaceTurn after a stint of being Unicron's slave makes him lose his taste for conquest]].
* BeardOfEvil: As is tradition for him.
** WeirdBeard: It's made of rock plates.
* BigBad: [[spoiler:Of ''Predacons Rising'', where he awakens due to the revival of Cybertron/his brother Primus, intent on destroying him anddiscovery the [=AllSpark=], even if it mean destroying all Autobots and Decepticons, including Optimus Prime and Megatron]].
* BloodyMurder: Dark Energon is his blood. Aside from being a [[ToxicPhlebotinum dangerous]] [[PsychoSerum substance]] in its own right, it is well-suited to creating weapons. [[spoiler:Unicron himself was capable ofArcee also have some SpontaneousWeaponCreation using Dark Energon when he was possessing Megatron's body]].
* BroughtDownToBadass: [[spoiler:In "Predacons Rising" he's not in a planet sized body like he usually is, but when limited to Megatron's body he's still powerful enough to quickly defeat Predaking]].
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Primus' Abel. Unicron longs to kill his brother by destroying Cybertron, and in lieu of that, wants Primus' inheritors, the Primes, exterminated.
* ChaosIsEvil: He's an evil, destructive god representing chaos where his benevolent and creative brother represents order, and he makes a lot of boasts that contain the word "chaos".
* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:In "Predacons Rising" he dishes out one on '''Predaking'''. He's caught off guard thanks to Megatron lying to him about Predaking's loyalty, but right after Unicron's Dark Energon weapons allow him to easily beat Predaking unconscious]].
* DarkIsEvil: Unicron is primordial being of darkness and chaos, and the malignant Dark Energon is his blood.
* DemonicPossession: Does it to Megatron, albeit after a lot of effort. And by the time he does, [[spoiler:he's too late to stop Optimus from unleashing the Matrix against him]]. [[spoiler:He does it again in ''Predacons Rising'', and it's considerably easier as Megatron is "dead"]].
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[spoiler:After losing a battle with Primus, he was left to be trapped in the center of the Earth where he plans to destroy humanity and their civilization. [[{{Satan}} Sound familiar]]]]?
* DragonRider: [[spoiler:After raising his army of Terrorcon Predacons, he takes one of them as his steed for the journey to the Well of All Sparks]].
* TheDreaded: Given the other tropes, it's unsurprising that everyone, including ''Megatron'', is more than eager to stop him, knowing the extreme danger he poses to everything.
* EldritchAbomination: He's as old as time itself. His blood's properties can resurrect the dead as berserker zombies, power up a Transformer, possibly kill a human with exposure, weaken Cybertronians if they are exposed to too much, and allow one to hear the thoughts of Unicron himself and see the future. Season 2 expands on this a little, despite him [[spoiler:seemingly dormant once again]], as his blood is used to [[spoiler:repair the Nemesis, which works but inadvertently makes it sentient (it used to be Trypticon)]] and later [[spoiler:used as a component in forging the Dark Star Saber- which ''shatters the Star Saber'']]. Season 3 expands on it slightly further, showing that [[spoiler:mixing it with Synthetic Energon causes Decepticons to mutate and become vampiric]].
* EvilCounterpart: To his brother, Primus. And the parallelsto [[Film/TransformersFilmSeries Sam Witwicky]].
* GroinAttack: Doesare even stronger in this universe than they usually are. [[spoiler:Both of them are responsible for the survival and possible creations of a planet, Earth for Unicron, and Cybertron for Primus, respectively. The difference being, that Primus willingly allowed his spark to Silas in become one with Cybertron's core and created the Well of [=AllSparks=] to spawn new generations of Cybertronians, whereas Earth formed around Unicron's body whilst he was in stasis, and the creation of the comics, [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/File:Titan4.5_Silas_kick.jpg as seen here.planet and its inhabitants was completely unintentional and unwanted on Unicron's part]].
* EvilIsNotAToy:
** Megatron finds out the hard way that waking up Unicron doesn't earn him or the Decepticons any favours, scrambling into an EnemyMine to survive with them.
** Dark Energon itself is risky to use, and has the potential to harm its user. Megatron has to use a form of graded exposure to not poison himself immediately, and when Knock Out and Starscream [[spoiler:combine it with Synthetic Energon, they accidentally create a form of Cybertronic vampire/zombie hybrid.]]
** Most telling of all, [[spoiler:even incorporating Dark Energon into one's body without fatally poisoning yourself makes your body tied to Unicron, allowing him to possess Megatron after forcibly resurrecting him. Megatron spends most of ''Predacons Rising'' mentally begging for death.]]
*TheKirk: EvilSoundsDeep: As is tradition.
* EvilerThanThou: When Megatron tries becoming his [[TheDragon Herald]], he cites this trope to basically tell him to get lost and basically forces him into an EnemyMine with the Autobots to survive. [[spoiler:In ''Predacons Rising'', he takes control of Megatron's body and makes it ''very'' clear that he's in charge, so Megatron will get nothing but oblivion when [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness he's of no further use]]]].
* EvilIsHammy: Probably the hammiest version of Unicron ever.
-->'''Unicron:''' '''Minions of the Prime, prepare for oblivion!'''
* FantasticRacism: Unicron derides humanity as "parasites" and dismissively describes Predaking as a "primitive life form".
* FatalFlaw: {{Pride}}. Unicron is an evil god and he has an ego to match. [[spoiler:Insisting that he didn't need Megatron caused him and the Decepticons to ally with the Autobots to stop him]].
* FightingAShadow: Since Unicron [[spoiler:is Earth]], he can form countless copies of himself from surface materials; the Autobots can destroy as many of those as they can, but Unicron will survive.
* FinalBoss: Of Season 1 [[spoiler:and ''Predacons Rising'']].
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: The few times he isn't looking at someone, he's staring straight at the camera, as if he's ''very aware'' that the people outside the TV are watching him.
* GeniusLoci: As is tradition, but ''Prime'' adds a special twist: [[spoiler:Unicron ''is'' Earth, the planet having formed around his remains. He exists as a spirit which can control the minerals in the ground to form copies of his original body]].
* GiantMook: Even the regular stone copies of Unicron are larger than the average Transformer, but in addition to these, Unicron is also capable of forming ''skyscraper''-sized versions of himself that are much, much harder to take down.
* GodIsEvil: [[spoiler:Since he's the progenitor of humanity and all life on Earth, he counts as this]].
* GodOfEvil: For Cybertron, at least.
* GreaterScopeVillain: He'snot as book smart as Raf, only appeared in three episodes to date and is rarely mentioned, but he's undoubtedly a ''lot'' more level-headed serious threat than Miko.
* TheLeader: OfMegatron. The Dark Energon Megatron used to revive himself came from Unicron, the Autobots' human allies, typically when Fowler isn't around.
Terrorcons ''really'' belong to Unicron, and in the tie-in video game Thunderwing is one of Unicron's creations.
*LikeBrotherAndSister: With Miko.
HiveMind: Combined with IAmLegion; Unicron can make multiple versions of his old body that are all share a single, unified mind, and thus at least seem to talk in complete unison.
--> '''Unicron may be one, but we all are Unicron!'''
*NiceGuy: Other than HumansAreInsects: What he declares upon deciding to destroy them.
* IWorkAlone: In response to Megatron's offer to became his Herald, Unicron belittles him as useless for not having killed Optimus and declares he doesn't need Megatron's aid. [[spoiler:When possessing Megatron's body in "Predacons Rising" he makes his point clear that they are '''NOT''' working together, Megatron is Unicron's vessel. Unicron controls him, and Megatron controls nothing]].
* {{Jerkass}}: In addition to being abit GodOfEvil and OmnicidalManiac, Unicron is a huge dick, responding to Megatron's loyal supplication with nothing but insults and angrily derides [[spoiler:humanity]] as nothing but parasites when he finds out that [[spoiler:sentient life came into being on his body while he slept]]. He's also a BadBoss, [[spoiler:torturing Megatron while possessing him, despite the fact that there's nothing Megatron can do to actually harm Unicron]].
* TheJuggernaut: [[spoiler:While possessing Megatron in ''Predacons Rising'', Unicron is the single most powerful Transformer in the series, even managing to defeat the previous holder ofa smart-mouth, that title, Predaking, without much trouble. The only thing that actually stops him is Optimus forcibly removing Unicron's Anti-Spark from Megatron's body]].
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:His declaration that all life on Earth, especially human beings, is parasitic and that they will be exterminated]]. This is even nastier as he outright acknowledges [[spoiler:they are indirectly his progeny, having formed on Earth, which formed around him.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: He has no funny traits whatsoever, and the drama - already serious for this series - only intensifies whenever he'soverall pretty decent and mature for someone his age.

*OnlySaneMan: LargeHam: He's the only one God of Evil and obviously takes it in stride.
* MookMaker: [[spoiler:Since Unicron is thetrio who seems to understand why being involved in giant robot battles is not necessarily as awesome as one might think.
** He's even had to talk some sense into the ''[[WhatTheHellHero Autobots]]'' at times.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Before he met Arcee and the Autobots, he was attending Memorial High School. Before the end of season 2, he was still enrolled there.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: Lets Smokescreen talk him into walking into a potential combat zone in "Legacy". He immediately [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it upon reaching their destination.

*RefusalOfTheCall: He refuses it the first time, but Miko's appearance forces the issue. He refuses it again after a rousing time dodging death and dismemberment aboard NiceJobFixingItVillain:
** [[spoiler:In "One Shall Rise", rejecting Megatron's offer of servitude pushed the Decepticonship, but Arcee gets him leader to come back. His mom also pushed him into refusing the call, but by this point he stood his ground.
* ResignedToTheCall: After he accepts his role as one of the Autobots' human friends, he becomes a straight example of this trope. He'd certainly enjoy not having to watch out for ominous vehicles and members of an armed militant group working within the US, but he values his friendship with Arcee andinstead aid the Autobots more than that.

*TeamPet: OneManArmy: He's a human companion capable fighting off many enemies in a ''Transformers'' series. It comes his way, whether it be Autobots or Decepticons. This was shown as he managed to painfully pummel down Optimus while still possessing Megatron through painful torture. Even when the Autobots, Decepticons and Predacons are forced to work together to face off against Unicron's army of Terrocons, their efforts are almost in vain as Unicron had provided the Terrocons enough willpower to overcome their enemies.
* OmnicidalManiac: As is tradition. Unicron seeks the destruction of all life that isn't him, with special emphasis on Cybertronians (the creations of his hated brother, Primus) and humanity (whom he loathes as "parasites" for [[spoiler:having come into being after his body became Earth]]).
* PurpleIsPowerful: His eyes, blood, and theterritory. electric discharge used by his copies are all purple.
** PurpleIsTheNewBlack: He'smainly Arcee's pet, heavily associated with the colour purple, the way a goth might dress in all-black.
* PhysicalGod: Sort of. He's implied to have been once been this before Primus and the Thirteen Primes defeated him. He's now [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence gone past this]].

* VoicesAreMental: AvertedTrope. Megatron's possessed body does not speak with Unicron's voice, using Megatron's actual voice actor Frank Welker instead.
* WhenThePlanetsAlign: His first awakening is triggered by a planetary alignment of every single planet in our solar system.
* BadassNormal: Despite being a small, squishy human, he is able to use bravery and his wits to remain relevant in an engagement. As for specific examples:
** He uses a fire-starting kit to ignite energon to destroy Airachnid's ship, steals Silas's radio to contact Fowler even while surrounded by armed men and Silas himself, manages to direct a swarm of Scraplets to take down an Insecticon and later tricked the sentient Nemesis into rebooting itself with some DeadlyDodging.
** His tenacity and reliable nature is the reason

* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:He reawakens when
* DisappearedDad: June mentions that Jack's father left them an unspecified amount of time ago. Exactly ''why'' he left has yet to be revealed though.
* {{Expy}}: His voice actor and his social status at his school are very similar to [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Peter]] [[WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan Parker]]. His introduction to
* BadassBoast: "'''Unicron is power incarnate.'''" among others.
* BadBoss: Naturally, since he's an OmnicidalManiac who wants to destroy everything. He's so awful that [[spoiler:Megatron actually pulls a HeelFaceTurn after a stint of being Unicron's slave makes him lose his taste for conquest]].
* BeardOfEvil: As is tradition for him.
** WeirdBeard: It's made of rock plates.
* BigBad: [[spoiler:Of ''Predacons Rising'', where he awakens due to the revival of Cybertron/his brother Primus, intent on destroying him and
* BloodyMurder: Dark Energon is his blood. Aside from being a [[ToxicPhlebotinum dangerous]] [[PsychoSerum substance]] in its own right, it is well-suited to creating weapons. [[spoiler:Unicron himself was capable of
* BroughtDownToBadass: [[spoiler:In "Predacons Rising" he's not in a planet sized body like he usually is, but when limited to Megatron's body he's still powerful enough to quickly defeat Predaking]].
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Primus' Abel. Unicron longs to kill his brother by destroying Cybertron, and in lieu of that, wants Primus' inheritors, the Primes, exterminated.
* ChaosIsEvil: He's an evil, destructive god representing chaos where his benevolent and creative brother represents order, and he makes a lot of boasts that contain the word "chaos".
* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:In "Predacons Rising" he dishes out one on '''Predaking'''. He's caught off guard thanks to Megatron lying to him about Predaking's loyalty, but right after Unicron's Dark Energon weapons allow him to easily beat Predaking unconscious]].
* DarkIsEvil: Unicron is primordial being of darkness and chaos, and the malignant Dark Energon is his blood.
* DemonicPossession: Does it to Megatron, albeit after a lot of effort. And by the time he does, [[spoiler:he's too late to stop Optimus from unleashing the Matrix against him]]. [[spoiler:He does it again in ''Predacons Rising'', and it's considerably easier as Megatron is "dead"]].
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: [[spoiler:After losing a battle with Primus, he was left to be trapped in the center of the Earth where he plans to destroy humanity and their civilization. [[{{Satan}} Sound familiar]]]]?
* DragonRider: [[spoiler:After raising his army of Terrorcon Predacons, he takes one of them as his steed for the journey to the Well of All Sparks]].
* TheDreaded: Given the other tropes, it's unsurprising that everyone, including ''Megatron'', is more than eager to stop him, knowing the extreme danger he poses to everything.
* EldritchAbomination: He's as old as time itself. His blood's properties can resurrect the dead as berserker zombies, power up a Transformer, possibly kill a human with exposure, weaken Cybertronians if they are exposed to too much, and allow one to hear the thoughts of Unicron himself and see the future. Season 2 expands on this a little, despite him [[spoiler:seemingly dormant once again]], as his blood is used to [[spoiler:repair the Nemesis, which works but inadvertently makes it sentient (it used to be Trypticon)]] and later [[spoiler:used as a component in forging the Dark Star Saber- which ''shatters the Star Saber'']]. Season 3 expands on it slightly further, showing that [[spoiler:mixing it with Synthetic Energon causes Decepticons to mutate and become vampiric]].
* EvilCounterpart: To his brother, Primus. And the parallels
* GroinAttack: Does
* EvilIsNotAToy:
** Megatron finds out the hard way that waking up Unicron doesn't earn him or the Decepticons any favours, scrambling into an EnemyMine to survive with them.
** Dark Energon itself is risky to use, and has the potential to harm its user. Megatron has to use a form of graded exposure to not poison himself immediately, and when Knock Out and Starscream [[spoiler:combine it with Synthetic Energon, they accidentally create a form of Cybertronic vampire/zombie hybrid.]]
** Most telling of all, [[spoiler:even incorporating Dark Energon into one's body without fatally poisoning yourself makes your body tied to Unicron, allowing him to possess Megatron after forcibly resurrecting him. Megatron spends most of ''Predacons Rising'' mentally begging for death.]]
*
* EvilerThanThou: When Megatron tries becoming his [[TheDragon Herald]], he cites this trope to basically tell him to get lost and basically forces him into an EnemyMine with the Autobots to survive. [[spoiler:In ''Predacons Rising'', he takes control of Megatron's body and makes it ''very'' clear that he's in charge, so Megatron will get nothing but oblivion when [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness he's of no further use]]]].
* EvilIsHammy: Probably the hammiest version of Unicron ever.
-->'''Unicron:''' '''Minions of the Prime, prepare for oblivion!'''
* FantasticRacism: Unicron derides humanity as "parasites" and dismissively describes Predaking as a "primitive life form".
* FatalFlaw: {{Pride}}. Unicron is an evil god and he has an ego to match. [[spoiler:Insisting that he didn't need Megatron caused him and the Decepticons to ally with the Autobots to stop him]].
* FightingAShadow: Since Unicron [[spoiler:is Earth]], he can form countless copies of himself from surface materials; the Autobots can destroy as many of those as they can, but Unicron will survive.
* FinalBoss: Of Season 1 [[spoiler:and ''Predacons Rising'']].
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: The few times he isn't looking at someone, he's staring straight at the camera, as if he's ''very aware'' that the people outside the TV are watching him.
* GeniusLoci: As is tradition, but ''Prime'' adds a special twist: [[spoiler:Unicron ''is'' Earth, the planet having formed around his remains. He exists as a spirit which can control the minerals in the ground to form copies of his original body]].
* GiantMook: Even the regular stone copies of Unicron are larger than the average Transformer, but in addition to these, Unicron is also capable of forming ''skyscraper''-sized versions of himself that are much, much harder to take down.
* GodIsEvil: [[spoiler:Since he's the progenitor of humanity and all life on Earth, he counts as this]].
* GodOfEvil: For Cybertron, at least.
* GreaterScopeVillain: He's
* TheLeader: Of
*
--> '''Unicron may be one, but we all are Unicron!'''
*
* IWorkAlone: In response to Megatron's offer to became his Herald, Unicron belittles him as useless for not having killed Optimus and declares he doesn't need Megatron's aid. [[spoiler:When possessing Megatron's body in "Predacons Rising" he makes his point clear that they are '''NOT''' working together, Megatron is Unicron's vessel. Unicron controls him, and Megatron controls nothing]].
* {{Jerkass}}: In addition to being a
* TheJuggernaut: [[spoiler:While possessing Megatron in ''Predacons Rising'', Unicron is the single most powerful Transformer in the series, even managing to defeat the previous holder of
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:His declaration that all life on Earth, especially human beings, is parasitic and that they will be exterminated]]. This is even nastier as he outright acknowledges [[spoiler:they are indirectly his progeny, having formed on Earth, which formed around him.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: He has no funny traits whatsoever, and the drama - already serious for this series - only intensifies whenever he's
* NonHumanSidekick: {{Inverted|Trope}};
* NotSoDifferentRemark: A rare positive example; Ratchet claims that Jack is pretty similar
*
* MookMaker: [[spoiler:Since Unicron is the
** He's even had to talk some sense into the ''[[WhatTheHellHero Autobots]]'' at times.
* OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent: Before he met Arcee and the Autobots, he was attending Memorial High School. Before the end of season 2, he was still enrolled there.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: Lets Smokescreen talk him into walking into a potential combat zone in "Legacy". He immediately [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it upon reaching their destination. Happens again in "Darkmount, NV", where
* OutOfFocus: He has a much smaller role following the conclusion
* PreAsskickingOneLiner: Even though he isn't personally doing
-->'''Jack:''' Surprise! ([[spoiler:Miko jumps through
*
** [[spoiler:In "One Shall Rise", rejecting Megatron's offer of servitude pushed the Decepticon
* ResignedToTheCall: After he accepts his role as one of the Autobots' human friends, he becomes a straight example of this trope. He'd certainly enjoy not having to watch out for ominous vehicles and members of an armed militant group working within the US, but he values his friendship with Arcee and
** [[spoiler:Once again in ''Predacons Rising'', when his torture of Megatron cements the latter's HeelFaceTurn]].
*
*
* OmnicidalManiac: As is tradition. Unicron seeks the destruction of all life that isn't him, with special emphasis on Cybertronians (the creations of his hated brother, Primus) and humanity (whom he loathes as "parasites" for [[spoiler:having come into being after his body became Earth]]).
* PurpleIsPowerful: His eyes, blood, and the
** PurpleIsTheNewBlack: He's
* PhysicalGod: Sort of. He's implied to have been once been this before Primus and the Thirteen Primes defeated him. He's now [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence gone past this]].
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Lambasts Megatron for his sheer arrogance, thinking he can help him, and not finishing off the last "disciple of Primus".
* RedBaron: The Chaos Bringer.
* RoboFamily: [[AllThereInTheManual Not mentioned in-series]] but
* SatanicArchetype: For Cybertronians. [[spoiler:But to Earth he is more of a
*
* SealedEvilInACan: Completely unintentionally. [[spoiler:After his defeat at the dawn of time, the entire planet Earth naturally formed around him over billions of years]].
** [[spoiler:Invoked ''Predacons Rising''. The Anti-Spark, Unicron's soul, is trapped in the indestructible reliquary that once contained the Allspark]].
* ShockAndAwe: His duplicates use electrical blasts as a weapon.
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: In the Italian dub, he's constantly referred as "The Unicron".
* SpikesOfVillainy: All over his body.
* SpontaneousWeaponCreation: [[spoiler:While possessing Megatron's body, he uses Dark Energon to create weapons]].
** {{BFG}}
** JavelinThrower
** SinisterScythe
* {{Telepathy}}: To a limited degree; [[spoiler:in ''Predacons Rising'', he reads an unconscious Predaking's mind to find the location of a mass grave filled with dead Predacons]].
* UnexplainedAccent: Has hints of a Scottish accent in ''Predacons Rising''.
* VoicesAreMental: AvertedTrope. Megatron's possessed body does not speak with Unicron's voice, using Megatron's actual voice actor Frank Welker instead.
* WhenThePlanetsAlign: His first awakening is triggered by a planetary alignment of every single planet in our solar system.

* {{Dracolich}}: [[spoiler:The Predacon Terrorcons in ''Predacons Rising'']].

The main human protagonist, he was living a quiet life in a remote Nevada town until he accidentally stumbled into a fight between Arcee and a couple of Vehicons. Young but level-headed, he often tends to be the voice of reason among humans and Autobots alike. He has no real exceptional skills to offer, but is ready and willing to step up to any challenge that has been presented.

* AudienceSurrogate: He serves the role as this.

** His tenacity and reliable nature is the reason Optimus chose him to hold the Key to Vector Sigma, knowing that Jack could handle the responsibility implied. It basically makes him an honorary Prime.

* TheChosenOne: Optimus personally chooses Jack to bear the key to Vector Sigma, making him (as Miko put it) "an honorary Prime".
* CoolBigBro: Sometimes takes the role for Raf and Miko. Complete with BigBrotherInstinct flaring frequently.
* ComingOfAgeStory: His arc from the pilot to "Orion Pax". Not just maturing into a stronger young man, but as an honorary Prime as well.
* DeadpanSnarker: Drops in wry lines in a dead serious tone to highlight his insecurities and cynicism to the Autobots' philosophies. He slowly grows out of it when he gains some more experience.

* TookALevelInBadass: When Scraplets made their debut in the Marvel comic, they were tiny beings the size of human-made nuts and bolts, took a long time to devour a host, and were instantly killed by water. The ''Prime'' versions are waist-high to the children, can consume a victim in a matter of minutes, and are unaffected by water (they can be immobilized by cold, but it doesn't harm them otherwise). They're unable to combine into larger forms like the Marvel Scraplets, but they honestly wouldn't need to.
