Once a low-level Predacon Warrior known as the Hunter, Shokaract chanced upon the dark essence of Unicron himself. Recognizing Unicron's unrivaled power, Shokaract used the Chaos God's life force to create the Matrix of Conquest, a twisted version of the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. With Unicron's dark power at his fingertips, Shokaract now pursues only one goal: to become Overlord of the Universe.
