Can someone answer those questions?
But my friend, you see thats just it. Since the question has been answered so many times in so many formats repeatidly, there no longer is just one answer.
The first mentioning of this had Unicron created by a small mamial called Primacon, and Primus was his assistant who fought Unicron, had his body destroyed, then put his lifeforce into the shell of the first Matrix and left into space.
The next staff of writers wanted to elaborate on that, but decided not to have Primacon at all using these two figures as godlike beings.
Primus was also supose to resemble and have a direct tie to Rodimus Prime, but that was phased out to.
Yet in the movie which was Unicron's first encounter with Cybertron, Unicron was going to spare him even though the comics (Marvel and DreamWave) both have specific instances of activity on Cybertron that signaled Unicron and pointed him in his direction
So I say, with all the variety of answers, either just pick one, or work out your own.
-----------------------------------------------
As for me, I came up with my own.
Primus, was initial built by a long forgotten highly advanced civilization. He wasn't planet sized then, but he was composed of the elements that we see on Cyberton. His brain SIGMA. Later Vector Sigma after the Quintessons found and modified it to work with a comand prompt ie The Key to Vector Sigma. The key was actualy a means created by Primus to keep try and keep the Quintessons form fully manipulating him.
The Plasma Core, which was like a heart. This later was elaborated into The Plasma Energy Chamber, wich for the same reasons as Vector Sigma needed a key to be activated.
Then the AllSpark, which was origionaly his own spark. I envision it as a crystal, not a cube. Still in an atempt to protect it, he created the keys to the previous two portions of himself. Before the Quintessons arrived, he had already broken off fragments of his spark and made a primitive type of robotic life.
He knew if the Quintessons could ever harness the full totality of the AllSpark a nightmare would be unleashed across the universe because...
As the civilization that initialy created him died. Primus went into a stasis state. For countless millenia he layed dormant.
This dormancy was broken however as a small creature, who was quite brilliant, herd rumors of this lost race and ventured to find their planet and secrets. He did suceed!
In the secrets he found, he was able to prolong his aging, which gave him more time to develope the sciences he found.
Another secret he found was a sleeping Primus who he awakened. Primus was more than eger to help this being as he hoped the sciences they toiled in would restore his home.
What he didn't realize was that the being was actualy begining to study him with plans of making an agent which would venture out and enslave worlds so he could then inhabit them and develope his science further, without interference.
Unicron was born.
Unicron determined to himself, that if he did as his creator demanded he would simply be Unicron the Conquirer. Howver he discovered, that if he consumed it's elements he could retain both it's knowledge and it's power, and become Unicron the Almighty!
Unicron chose not to serve, and rebelled against his creator who went into hiding.
Primus however saw Unicron's ambition, and engaged him in battle hoping to stop the wrong that he helped create.
This struggle transended time, space, and mind, and in the end left both increadibly damaged.
With the battles seeming end, Unicron fell adrift in space slowly consuming whatever crossed his path and began rebuilding himself.
Primus, gathered the reminats of himself and left into the depths of space as looking at the further battered remains of his home was something he could no longer deal with.
Adrift for time beyond meassure, he eventualy found a small primitive world that he settled and took root upon. He slowly intermingeled the last of his power with the planet's natural forces and became one with it.
Using the knowledge he acquired in his helping in the construction of Unicron, he began to merge with the planet itself, taking it as a new body.
Not looking to cross the line Unicron did though, he decided to mingle his escence with the existing life forms making the first Technorganic beings of a world that was becoming Cybertron.
He did this to commemorate the beings that created him, and not let their memory fade forever. He did this to, continue his love of science and life. He did this because...
... he was lonely.
From this point the story becomes more about the Cybertronians than Primus, but it does certainly go on.

If any of you think this is a bunch of bull, that is completely fine.
However this is what works for me
