Cybertron. A world light-years away from Earth and most other planets. It is an advanced planet with great cities defined by magnificent structures, towering up and out leaving deep abysses embedded within the world to seemingly carry on forever into the Underworld, and gold and chrome alloy hue the towers and arches of the cities. And in other areas,a place of darkened skies caused by the continuing clod of smoke and debris from industrial compounds and their architectures collapses upon one another while newer are constructed as a next generation passes. Where two of its moons faithfully watch over the inhabitants of this world without rest, and the planet itself is a living being.
But that was a long time ago, and now, it slowly tries to heals itself as war has so rapidly torn it apart without any mercy shown to it. Scars of battle, from its prodigy, mar the planet's surface and its atmosphere has since cleared from the smoke of firing ammo and frequent struggles of fight.
This planet, that had been gifted with a golden age yet slipped into a decline of stasis, has now been doomed with war and its inhabitants has long since left their home world to its fate; to live on other worlds letting their home to heal
Only a certain amount of the planet's life still live on its aspect fighting for its cause- and theirs; to make their nation whole once again. They are know as Autobots and they fight against the Decepticons who whole-heatedly wish to control it themselves with no thought to their own race as they use the slogan peace through tyranny to rule.
Before the civil war, Alpha Trion- being one of the original Thirteen Primes- was head Archvist of the Hall of Records in Iacon. Now, the Hall of Records was a place where all information on Cybertron's history was stored, and then, was later locked away and forgotten about during the war. It was a fitting position for the elderly Autobot, for he had been placed their by a fellow Prime, Sentinel Prime, to be also forgotten about over time and become a dusty relic of history as is the history that laid in the Hall of Records, but unknowing to Sentinel their was more to Alpha Trion than mets the eye.
As a data miner- a librarian, Orion Pax busied himself in the Hall of Records under the council and mentor of the archivist Alpha Trion. He was placid with his task as a clerk- even if it was in the lower caste system- until he came across a efficacious gladiator undergoing the name of the mythical Prime Megatronus, and his outspoken message to all Cybertronians for an upheaval of their society. That call from the gladiator made the librarian realize that deep down he wasn't truly satisfied with his life- that their was no freedom to be found for anyone in the caste system. But what could Orion Pax do about it? He was just a simple data clerk for Iacon. Little did the mecha know that there was great things in store for him, great things that only Alpha Trion and the Covenant knew at the time.
Orion Pax and the renamed gladiator Megatron became friends over the short measure of time. Megatron became a mentor to Orion Pax, teaching him ways that began to open his eyes to the truth- a truth that was to be forgotten by all. And once they met by the High Council, the gladiator revealed more of his true colors and arrogantly demanded to be named the next Prime. This outraged maddened the Council until Orion Pax came front in order to speak out for his friend, as was agreed by the two earlier, but his ideas were much different than the gladiators. How, since the beginning of Primus, could a young mech know so much, the High Council was sure to ask themselves. Once they heard the young mech out they knew Alpha Trion had chosen the right mech to be named Prime, and slowly the decision was made and- against the will of Megatron- the simple data clerk from Iacon became know as Optimus Prime, and he would do great things just as the Covenant of Primus had explicit.
But that was the beginning of the civil war between the librarian and the gladiator.
As centuries went on and the battle waged on, consuming the world as vastly as it could, all hope seemed lost. War not only consumed the planet, but it also seemed to consume their minds as well and that it was all that some really seemed to cared about.
War. The trill of battle. It seemed to be- to some bots- all they wanted. A chance to fight... and a chance to kill.
Noble Optimus Prime fought as leader with the heroic Autobots against the malicious Megatron and his corruptible Decepticons for much longer than any of our earth years and once the fog of battle lifted, the idea of leaving Cybertron was imminent, for there was nothing much left that wasn't destroyed. But that was the just the beginning of their problems and now they had to search for the AllSpark that Optimus had reluctantly jettisoned into space so Megatron couldn't grasp his evil clutches upon it.
In the absence of the Autobots, a few Autobots stayed behind on Cybertron in hopes of winning back Cybertron from the Decepticons that was left behind by Megatron's orders, and to await for Optimus Prime and their fellow Autobots to return home safely with the AllSpark.
They never did return...
