Galvatron’s Revenge=Ruined

I have some bad news.

Galvatron's Revenge just posted a video announcing the VA for Optimus who is the most racist and homophobic person in the Transformers fandom I know. When told about who they had hired, Galvatron’s Revenge’s creator firmly defended him. This VA attacked me and UltraPrimal in 2021 and wrote on Twitter (now suspended) that POC and LGBTQ+ people should die. How could anyone allow such a disgusting person to star in their project? My YouTube comment which may be deleted, explains who their VA for Optimus is:

In response to another comment against the VA, the creator of the TFP fan project Galvatron’s Revenge said:

The creator sees no problem with the VA’s blatantly bigoted and hostile behaviour.

If you pay Galvatron's Revenge, you pay an atrocious person. This is a tweet from the VA himself. This is a small taste and there had been worse:

G.R.'s creator is deleting comments in their video about the VA. They are erasing evidence of how horrible this VA is. A person who doxxes people, attacks minorities... What they call valid political opinions are awful. These "opinions" are anti human rights and hate speech I have not called out other creators before. But I am creating my own Transformers Prime fan project and I had respected this fan project that had been in production longer than mine. They are now hiring a voice actor who has harassed me. Now that is one thing, but this VA has posted the most vile things about minorities and gone out to attack them. Galvatron’s Revenge’s creator DEFENDED this person even while fully aware of what he has done Galvatron’s Revenge is part of the problem. This is unacceptable.

NEVER in my right mind would I work with such a person. If I had a racist/homophobic person on my team, I would refuse to pay them or have them associated with me. I would not defend them for a bloody second. Galvatron's Revenge, you have lost a lot of respect this day.

[primus-why]

OH HEY circling back to this-- if you donated to this campaign it might be a good idea to back out.

The people behind "Galvatron's Revenge" have hired a racist, homophobic VA to voice Optimus Prime. This person has doxxed and harassed folks online, and has said vile, hateful things. When this was pointed out to the Prime Animations by concerned fans, the creators doubled down and started deleting/filtering comments calling out the VA's behavior off their YouTube videos. So it's clear this person was not hired by mistake...

Twitter links with more information below. Some contain screenshots of things this person has said, so heads up for that:

Link 1, Link 2, Link 3

Have you heard of the TFP fan-made movie Galvatron's Revenge? It's currently being Kickstarted (kickstarter(.)com/projects/388967528/transformers-prime) and I just found out about it: but it only has 15 days left and it's barely funded. I don't want this to come off as spam, but I'd really appreciate it if you'd just signal boost this, since it seems like a lot of people put a lot of time and effort into it.

Here’s a proper link to this project’s kickstarter.

Okay. I have actually heard of this project before. It’s been in the works for a while, and admittedly it had piqued my interest when I first heard about it (probably about a year ago??) So I’m gonna list the pros and cons of this fan-movie as I’ve observed for a little while now.

PROS

A Second Chance – It’s a fan-made movie set in the Transformers Prime universe, continuing where the story left off. If the currently-running Aligned continuity isn’t doing it for ya, then this is probably the next best thing.

Maintaining Integrity – It appears to aim for the same tone as the show– kick-butt action scenes, a relatively serious plot, witty one-liners, and a cast you’ve just gotta love. The promotional art seems to fit nicely into this as well, which brings me to…

The Build – The 3D models look BEAUTIFUL, especially considering it’s a fan-made piece; they are definitely show-accurate. I cannot stress to you enough how many complex pieces tend to go into a CGI Cybertronian… and that’s just the sculpt! (Also, I want to point out that the “Test Animations” are more likely blocking tests, and are not an accurate representation of what the final product will look like. This is a very normal part of the animation process.) No doubt that when textures and lighting and proper character animation is tossed into the mix, it will look quite impressive.

NEW CHARACTERS! – Again, this piece is setting out to expand upon the Prime universe, so there will be additions to the cast and subsequently the lore!

CONS

The Campaign(s) – This project has tried to start up more than once, which can worry some investors. And it would seem that the same campaign video is used each time as well. Are you throwing your money at nothing? Not necessarily true, but it is something to keep in mind. Without new updates or additions, you wonder if the project will ever take off at all… (though, in order to actually make a significant update, you need the money to hire talent, such cruel irony.) Kickstarter has also received dubious press in the last few years, and is essentially an all-or-nothing bid on success. I would recommend the creators look into other crowdfunding sources, such as Indiegogo or Patreon, where you can generate money and put it to use.

More on That Campaign – There’s something unsettling about the way this project is introduced by the founder of “Prime Animations”. He literally says they are an up-and-coming animation company looking to make an impact in the animation world. Which to me, does not sound like “please help me make this one fan project come true”. It sounds like “please pay to start up my own animation company so I can ride the coattails of this franchise”. I don’t think Hasbro would appreciate that very much haha. What I’m getting at is this: it makes it seem like a business. It shouldn’t be business, this should be fun and unrelated to your company. Otherwise it doesn’t seem to come from a genuine place. Besides, the moment you refer to yourself as an organization, that implies you are out to gain something from all this– even if it isn’t explicit monetary gain, you stand to earn recognition towards your product which can stand in the way of the original copy written work. In other words, Hasbro would see large projects as something that deviates from their promoted canon yet borrows from their product in such a way that it could fool or confuse consumers, which is bad business and lawsuit waiting to happen.

The Examples – When starting a fan-project you hope to be widely-promoted, you need to grab fans’ attention. One of the primary ways to do that is to release teaser content to entice and interest them. I understand that creating polished content for a project of this scale is difficult, but the average fan won’t care or notice– all they will see is a lackluster production. Tease us with plot points, clips of final character dialogue, fully-rendered and completed character animation, posters, art, animatics, etc. Not your face. I swear the video here is like 10 minutes long and I think the total original promotional stuff lasts 2 minutes. And it’s some flashes of concept art, animation blocking (which gives us the impression that this product is going to end up looking about as fluid and detailed as ‘96′s Beast Wars), and relatively unimpressive still frames. I want to see elements of a polished product that get me excited for what is to come… not a fractured W.I.P.

Decepticons Are Afoot – Let me just say this: DO NOT PUT SO MANY CLIPS FROM THE SHOW INTO YOUR CAMPAIGN VIDEO. It is deceptive. To someone not paying attention it would make them believe that your product is going to look exactly like that or currently looks exactly like that. I doubt it will– I know there are talented people working on this, but you will never have the resources that Hasbro has had. Don’t compare yourself side-by-side to Predacons Rising, because not only does it make fans who are unfamiliar with that piece think that THAT is what you have made (which is enough to piss Hasbro off since you didn’t make it), but it sets a bar you cannot hope to meet. It’s okay to not look exactly like the show, it is a fan project after all. Right? Because I certainly hope you are not trying to use this money to make this project and/or start your own company on the backs of the popularity of a copyrighted franchise by implying that you can make something on the same level as the original. Seriously, if you are promoting a fan-project, play the fan-project in the background… not the original piece.

Not Many Updates – I wont go into this too much. It’s hard to create quality content when the money isn’t there to hire the talent. It’s even harder to coordinate these talents to continuously generate content in order to keep investors interested. But it’s still a con. We haven’t seen much besides stills and blocking animations. I personally would appreciate seeing some animatics so that I can have a glimpse at what the story will be like. But that’s me.

Overall I don’t think this is bad idea– I personally would love to see a TFP Rodimus haha– but the campaign is a bit lack luster. I would recommend that “Prime Animations” regroups and works on their PR: turn out some polished pieces, release more information, [Spy voice] “seduce me”!

Then I would be more inclined to invest.

Transformers Universe - Weapons, by Mark Brassington

@blade-liger-4ever

Found these and I remembered you expressing an interest in non-built in weapons for TFP not too long ago.

[blueikeproductions]

The Quintessons also got cards.

While we don’t know for sure if there’s other members of their race yet, these are a pretty big departure from the original designs, which have remained somewhat consistent.

Most notably the absence of the most recognizable Quintesson Judge is curious. There’s nothing that says they’re not there, but usually the Judge types are front and center for things, so removing them for a new High Command version is interesting.

The High Command and Soldier designs seem closer to some one off Quintessons from the 80’s cartoon.

The Quintessons have a somewhat complex conceptual history.

Their earliest concept looked like this.

A psychic biomechanical humanoid whose psychic abilities were so great they could make a horde of Sharkticons from scrap metal in an instant and probe the galaxy with a simple mind scan. Their head was apparently their true form, as it would eject and fly to another body when Hot Rod tried threatening it. The biomechanical look would persist for their final designs, but more modern media via Aligned and Cyberverse would instead state they’re actually organic creatures that look something like this:

Revealing their robotic bodies as merely being suits they pilot. It’s not clear yet if this is also the case in EarthSpark or ONE, though ONE feels like this is what they’re supposed to actually look like, but more organic this time than robotic as they typically are.

Some further revisions to the 80’s movie scripts and marketing of the time originally cast the Quintessons as working directly for Unicron, their mock trials were to punish and destroy any lingering survivors of Unicron’s wrath that passed by Quintessa. While this idea never made it into the original film, it was used in the Marvel comics and later revisited in early BotCon comics, but never became hard canon. The UK comics would make them into aliens clinging for survival as their home planet was destroyed by a time anomaly caused by the time traveling Galvatron. Running out of options, the Quints attacked Autobot City on Earth to try and colonize it, but were driven off by Rodimus Prime and Metroplex, their fate unknown but nevertheless swearing revenge on the Transformers.

The final version of the Quintessons in the cartoon cast them as the ancient creators of the Transformers, with some media explaining they also created Cybertron by terraforming a planet into a factory world (at least it wasn’t a parking structure planet). The cartoon would also establish them as slimy business men, having their tentacles in the affairs of other species for financial gain. Along with the Transformers starting out as in universe products to sell, it seems the writers might’ve been having a laugh at Hasbro.

The Quints’ primary goal in the cartoon was to push the Autobots aside so they could regain control of Cybertron, often conning the Decepticons into doing their dirty work for them. Where the Quints came from is never clear, as the show implies Cybertron was more their home planet originally due to their sentimental attachment to it. Their supposed home planet, Quintessa, is implied to merely be another planet they terraformed after getting booted off Cybertron.

Due to the more popular Primus origin from the Marvel comics, the Quintessons and their hand in the creation of Cybertron and its people was largely ignored in most mainstream media. While they saw a homage in Alpha Q in Energon (the connection to the Quintessons made stronger in the Energon Dreamwave comics), they didn’t really start resurfacing as major characters again until recently. The BotCon comics attempted to reconcile the two origins, stating the Primus origin was also the case in the cartoon, with the Quints interfering in the process, and this early idea served as the basis for the Aligned canon, where the Quints did the same in Cybertron’s early years, conning the young race into becoming their allies (servants), by bestowing both the futuristic space fairing technology Cybertronians enjoy today, their modern hierarchy (that became the corrupt caste system Megatron fought against) and the ability to Transform. Apparently the robots technically could already Transform as they all had Cogs, they just hadn’t LEARNED to Transform yet. Like the 80’s cartoon, these Quints intended to sell off the Transformers as products to the galaxy, with Sentinel (Zeta) Prime installed as their figurehead leader like in TFONE. Eventually they were chased off like in the old cartoon, but Prime nor RiD15 would ever revisit the Quintessons, though the prequel novels nobody read did claim the Autobots and Decepticons briefly became antagonized by them once more during the hunt for the Allspark in space.

Aligned’s main difference that’s fueled most modern interpretations is the Quintessons are the creations of Quintus Prime one of the newly established 13 original Transformers.

Aligned implies they killed Quintus and stole what they needed from him to become space fairing and eventually go to Cybertron, conquering other planets along the way.

The Quints were intended to be allies to Cybertron, as were other Quintus borne races, but this was not meant to be, due to the Quints’ hubris. EarthSpark’s version says the Quints were the first sons of the Prime, and in trying to discover their purpose, they became bitter and developed daddy issues, going around and killing off their cousins on other planets, attempting to acquire the Emberstone for their own use. The Quints and Transformers are strongly aware of each other, and clearly fought before, but their exact relationship has not been established yet, if at all.

TFONE greatly simplifies it to the Quints being an alien race that attacked Cybertron during the time of the Primes, though the hows and whys aren’t clear. What is clear is the jealous Sentinel made a bargain, helping them destroy the Primes and letting him be in control in exchange for paying them off in Energon to leave Cybertron alone. It’s not clear if Quintus Prime created the Quints in this universe, but there is a resemblance.

Quintus at some point: Sorry guys, you know how kids are!

Despite the Quintus origin, some modern media has gone back to the 80’s cartoon origin. Notably Age of Extinction and The Last Knight returning to the aliens created the Transformers idea, but the movies not directly using the Quintessons. However concept art does suggest the original intent WAS supposed to be the Quintessons…

Instead all we have is an alien hand and later Quintessa to go by.

It’s never clarified if the two are related, with Quintessa possibly being a Transformer and a Prime as well, but she is also called a liar by those formally in her employ so… She IS able to reprogram Optimus into doing her bidding however, so there’s that. She’s clearly inspired by Quintus, but isn’t connected beyond that. Her goal was to restore Cybertron by draining Earth of its life force and destroy Unicron in one fell swoop (as Earth is inexplicably Unicron again like in Prime). The organic Creators meanwhile were responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs, deploying bombs that converted organics into cyber matter that made the metal of the Transformers. Lockdown was working for the Creators, but with the abrupt inclusion of Quintessa, it’s not clarified if he was working for her instead/also.

Cyberverse cast the Quintessons as major villains, but instead of the creation origin, they depicted them as trans dimensional entities that travel to other Transformers universes to judge them guilty and destroy them for no other reason other than they can. Truly the best kind of villain: petty. Still this Dr. Who meets The Matrix direction with them doesn’t appear to be at all popular despite the arc being regarded positively. I still think Cyberverse is awful top to bottom, but the general idea they went for is decent. The Primes exist here, as noted previously with Alchemist Prime, but it’s never stated if these Quintessons are related to Quintus Prime.

Netflix War For Cybertron and Skybound Energon Universe also return to the Quintesson origin for the Transformers, though in the former’s case, their connection, if any, to the Allspark is never clarified. Skybound’s Void Rivals is currently the main component using the Quints, and dialog heavily implies the cartoon origin, though some minor Aligned concepts creep up as well. Nevertheless the Quintus origin doesn’t appear to be as… nailed down as Hasbro probably would like.

Indeed despite the resurgence in relevance, Hasbro seems somewhat reluctant to use the Quintessons still. The Quintus origin in the modern era had only been used in EarthSpark, and even then it’s not used… super well. The Steven Universe Diamonds that need a family intervention, never mind the genocide they caused, persists here to much chagrin. With the inconsistency on how the Quints came to be in modern media, it also makes Quintus Prime unnecessary, if some media is treating the Quints as separate beings. Even IDW didn’t do anything with this, despite using a lot of the Aligned concepts, and for now Skybound seems content to ignore it also.

I think the reluctance is due to toys of them not doing well, with the Cyberverse ones doing especially poorly. The High Command guy being able to Transform toy wise seems to be an attempt to make it clear they fit in with Transformers, but their peg warming doesn’t seem to be fixing that.

Along with Hasbro and Paramount not handing the transition from Bee to ROTB properly (like how do we jump from what Bee did to suddenly Unicron attacks?), I don’t have high expectations that the Quintessons will be handled well for a possible TFTWO, if they’re even used at all.

Which is a shame because the ONE designs are pretty cool, they made the Quints more appropriately scary and intimidating vs the slightly goofy looking egg shaped Judges. And I like the Judges but still.

Please don’t support the fan project Galvatron’s Revenge.

Prime Animations, the team behind the film, had just casted a racist and homophobic voice actor as Optimus in the film. This voice actor has a history of making violent threats against Emperor Kumquat and UltraPrimal (two popular trans Transformers YouTubers), has a history of wishing death on BIPOC folks, and has a history of making homophobic comments such as the same ol, “LGBTQ+ people are gr00mers” bullshit.

This person goes by the handle Orbital Bacon. He’s a legitimately awful person and instead of addressing the backlash by firing this person from the project, Prime Animations instead decides to keep him under the pathetic excuse of, “This channel is for Transformers, not identity politics!”

Since Prime Animations has decided to be Boo Boo The Clown Fool by platforming such a despicable piece of shit as a pop culture icon that many LGBTQ+ people look up to, including myself, what’s the point of supporting this project?

Please boycott Galvatron’s Revenge. Please support Transformers fans of color and Transformers LGBTQ+ fans who are content creators such as artists, voice actors, video essayists, and many more. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Racism, homophobia, and transphobia has no place in the Transformers fandom.

If you think about it, Galvatron is just Megatron’s revenge dress

〈 • Tfa ships • 〉

Terrible or wonderful

For the first we can all agree that the Transformers Armada ships are kinda wild and weird. When I joined to the Transformers Trumbler fandom I bumped into some interesting information but let's talk about this later.

So I find some ships what might be acceptable or maybe not. I'm gonna talk about why may people ship them and in my opinion is valid or not.

(Please write Constructive criticism in the comments.)

Before I start I wanna say this is my opinion and if you think something else about this then let me know in the comments. Please don't make hate comments!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: I watched the Japanes version so maybe some story line is different.

Megatron x Optimus prime

This ship is almost ruined but we have some interesting facts what can save this ship.

From the begining Optimus and Megatron acting weird with each others. They fight is really difficult from other's.

[It's could be because of the animations are not the perfect and the artist of the series was kinda lazy about drawning of the characters. We all saw some fails:)]

First fact: hands

They always touching each others hand in every fight. The robots never forget to do this. The problem is how they holding each other hands. Like a couple who start dancing romantically.

Second fact: look

Megatron teasing Optimus so badly. He's smirk whenever he see Optimus is kinda interesting.

In this scene Galvatron looks at Optimus so teasingly, AND THE POSE! There's something we don't know of them I swear. The last battle of them was the most weird fight.

Third fact: optimus death

We all know that sad scene where Optimus sacrificed his self for the Earth. Megatron on that days was super changeable. He looked like he would miss Optimus.

Megatron also said that "I can't believe I will say this but It's good to have you back" (I'm pretty sure he didn't said just like that, but that's what I get it from it.)

If I have to say something about they ship than I would say, this is cute. I love them. So in my opinion this is an 'alright ship'.

Starscream x Alexis

A ship what I hate so badly. It's cannot be real. Why would anybody ship a robot and a human together? I dunno.

When Starscream joined to the autobots Alexis was the first person who trust on him. She was friendly with him and tried to help him. Our broken hearted robot seemed he didn't care but he cared deeply.

After he left the Autobots for a revenge on Megatron. He dropped the blankie what he got from the kids for his birthday. Alexis was upset about it of course but she still believed that Starscream is good.

In the Space Starscream and Alexis became friends after Starscream saved her again and again.

Someone find a official blog where they said that in the show Alexis character seems like she is in love with Starscream. This information is important.

They just friends. The cutest duo ever. I just want them to be together again.

I don't support this ship.

Hotshot x Red alert

They had an episode where Hotshot doesn't acknowledged Red alert's work. They had a fight. But at the ending of the episode Hotshot realised Red alert's job also important.(Or something like that. I feel like I have to watch it again:') )

I don't know. I never thought about this two like a ship before.

Maybe It's a little bit strained. Some people just want to see a ship in them. I have no idea.

Your choice.

Cyclonus x Demolishor

They are best friends in the series. I ship them. I want them to be a couple.

Here we can see Demolishor saves Cyclonus from falling down.

Our evil psychopath Cyclonus and the soft Demolishor are the perfect matching. SHIP!

What I noticed about Demolishor:

After I rewatched the episode where we get a look of how Megatron treated Starscream. Later one of their teamate (I forgot his name) did a drama what caused to Starscream and Megaton had a fight. At the whole time I felt like Demolishor tried to stop this. It was so cute.

Back to the topic...

THEY ARE BOYFRIENDS!!

The cute fanarts made me ship them.

It's alright ship in my opinion.

Optimus x Red alert

Woo. So a medic and the leader of the Autobots. They story started on Cybertron where this two were already best friends and fought together in the war.

They have a perfect dinamic and they get along with each other really well.

The introvert and the extrovert<3

I really don't know. I feel neutral about this. I wouldn't said this ship is unacceptable but I wouldn't said either that couldn't be a ship.

Share your own opinion about it in the comment.

Jetfire x Starscream

There's an episode where this two visited together a planet for a mini-con (I guess). Starscream. I believe the reason is why people ship them is because maybe this two character had a good friendship with each others in the G1. I am just guessing I haven't watched the G1 yet but I saw some fanarts.

I don't know what to say about them.

Starscream x Hotshot

Well well well. Before I start let me apologies. I ship them.

They are like a moon and the sun. Like enemies to lovers. Like introverted and the extroverted. Like the Pessimist and the Optimist. I love them so much.

Let me show it for ya:

I can't explain myself. I really want to tell why I ship them to understand it.

This is my curse.

Nevermind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I can only say this is my opinion. If you know more really good or a really bad ship then comment it. If there's enough ship I'm going to make a part 2.

Bye bye!

[lesbianambulon]

He brings you the glue

[emperor-kumquat]

Guess what Starscream is gonna be in the Galvatron's Revenge sequel Dinobots Unleashe.

I don't care because the creator of Galvatron's Revenge is homophobic. Completely supports a bigot called Orbital Bacon, who is well known for harassing gay and trans people in the Transformers community. Orbital Bacon is trying to preach that I'm a pedophile because I'm trans. He supports the death penalty for gay people. He's also incredibly racist and sexist. There are so many instances of him trying to hurt people. Who is this person? The voice of Optimus Prime in Galvatron's Revenge. Yeah, and the creator of Galvatron's Revenge supports this dude, calls him justified, thinks he is a good person, and erases comments calling OB out. Do not support this bloody project. Do not admire these people. Are we really going to give power and a platform to them in our fandom? This is why boycotting is important. Heard the story is bad anyway and you have to pay $50 to see it. Which is illegal, by the way. But now that me and some other people exposed that, they might be changing their plans to a free release

[blueikeproductions]

A leak for upcoming EarthSpark toys has trickled out, and the two that stick out that are new, (the others being stuff we knew like a Deluxe Hashtag), involve Cosmos and Megatron.

Cosmos I’m cool with, he’s an old fav, and honestly it’s an upgrade over his CV self.

Big Boy Cosmos Supremacy. Not hapless, female co-star that got attacked by aliens as a running gag in Alien Hunt and should’ve been the actual antagonist, getting revenge on Meteorfire, instead of what we got.

The Megatron toy sticks out as it’s referred to as a “Cyber Glow” Megatron.

This hasn’t been used so far in the toys, and implies a possible gimmick or something from the show that either went unused or is something we’ve yet to see.

The Cyber Glow idea reminds me of this.

A “Hero’s Light�� style power up TFA Optimus assumes in the Japanese OP, which is used in the spin off The Cool manga, explaining the power coming from The Allspark.

So basically that but Megatron.

My guess is the in-story reason is the Maltos bestow Megatron the power of the Cyber Sleeves, glowing a green color similar to this.

I’ve had a thought in the past that the only way you could get Galvatron from ES Megatron is he’s evolved by the Emberstone/Cybersleeves, resulting in a Quintesson like form similar to what TFP Megatron became when Megatron was possessed by Unicron.

Of course it could just be a version of the Green Lantern like armor Terratronus wears but with translucent green plastic on Megatron’s chest, cannon, and legs so…

I don’t expect a Quintus-Galvatron though, nor am I expecting that much of Cyber Glow at all, as EarthSpark hasn’t been very good at advertising its own toy line.

None of these appear in the show, with the Ride & Combine concept sorta being present, but utilized in manner not expressed in the toys at all.

It does sorta beg the question why there aren’t Terran, Bee or Optimus Cyber Glow figures. You’d think bare minimum the Terrans would have this power up, or Bee by association, but I guess not.

Because of the show’s insistence on trying to prove how much Megatron is a good boi now, and this series does at least do a better job of it than Cyberverse did, but it still feels… off. That power ups usually reserved for Optimus now go to Megatron.

Not that that’s unheard of…

But I’m not sure, Megatron being blessed by Quintus Prime has that same vibe as Cyberverse insisting Megatron can use the Matrix, and while ES Megs is a bit more justified it still feels wrong.

Still Megatron getting this Glow does support the idea the Terrans aren’t popular enough to get their own consistent power ups, and if the show does continue long enough to use this, is it indeed only Megatron or would Optimus get it too, similar to this?

Though ideally we really should get an Omega Prime type form for Prime and Megs to merge into.

It’s too late for that now, but Prime & Meg’s dynamic was similar to Prime and Magnus’ in RiD01 that you could’ve had them merge to fight off Super Mandroid and the Quints.

We have the Megatron Arm Optimus in Skybound, so we would’ve been half way there in ES.

personal headcanon but I think the reason the Unicronians are just totally unaccounted for in the third act of the '86 movie is that given Scourge warns Galvatron that they all belong to Unicron, he's aware they're more enforcers of Unicron's will loaned out to him than entirely his own troops

So if he wants to enact his vengeance on Unicron now that he has the Matrix, Galvatron can't let them know or they'd try to stop him. So he told them to stay behind on Junk as he took the Revenge to "personally deliver the Matrix to Unicron" (the evil spoken line about his alternate plans being a self-aside no one else heard) (this also being why the Revenge was there during the battle and was destroyed. Other Decepticons were manning it)

And Junk is where they stayed and missed the whole third act, waiting for orders or messengers or Galvatron himself on the Revenge to tell them/take them to reconvene on Cybertron. Eventually they decided this was taking too long and had to fly in person all the way back to Cybertron, saw all that mess, then track down the remaining Decepticons to Chaar by Five Faces of Darkness

The Unicronians watched the whole Junkion dance party, Ultra Magnus revival, and anti-Unicron battalion ship out, but didn't interfere because as far as they knew, the Matrix was secured by their leader, surely to be destroyed if it hadn't already been destroyed. So there was no need to waste effort in stopping them, since they had already won.
