Not only that, the comics tied the origin of the transformers into that same primus origin, also kind of silly in my opinion. The slave rebellion against quintessons was a much cooler and more creative origin IMO.

He doesn't eat robotic Worlds. He eats Worlds to survive. He was at no point 'small'. He was built that size by a giant monkey.
In the comics he comes to this plane chasing Primus and once he gets into this realm, he finds he needs a physical body like Primus. So they both jump into giant Space Rocks, not knowing what they are, trapping themselves for eternity thus needed to find a new way to exist. In Unicron's case he became a giant robot. In Primus' sake he became a planet that gave rise to a race of sentient beings to do battle against Unicron, and gave them his pure essence as their torch and final weapon. Primus originally creates 13 original transformers. I know they haven't named all of them BUT some of them are Liege Maximo, The Fallen, Alpha Trion in DW continuity. The Fallen falls to Unicron and Liege Maximo helps start what is the beginning of the Decepticons. Originally Autobots and Decepticons reproduce together but eventually it leads to war since they were created for different purposes (Decepticons to seek out and Destroy Unicron, the Autobots to defend Primus). Decepticons are conquerers and want to fight and the Autobots are more concerned with saving themselves and Cybertron by nature.
The Quintesson origin is weak. "K...k...so...like they're two types of robots. And like.... they'd hit them with there magic-o whip thingy and then chuck them in the soup and pull out a robot. And... like... so... they keep doing this... and then the two sides... like rebel and then.... fight eachother... and yeah... and then some where, along the way, the Matrix some how is made... cause Primus doesn't exist... but the matrix totally appears and is the only thing that can stop him... and then it's forgotten until the movie. Yeah... makes sense."
Made by Space Squid who got lucky by gettng a plot device, or the final defense against a chaos entity bent on destruction. Hmmmmmmmmmm, which is cooler.
