Little is known about the beginning, of how the universe came to be. Many have considered the idea of a "Big Bang", and others have thought up various gods to have created everything from nothing. Both are, in a way, correct. The universe was created by a species that are considered gods, through the mixing and joining of particles and dust. First were the spacial clouds that would become galaxies, then the stars, the planets, and later the various species that will come to live and explore the various mysteries of life and the cosmos.
The story of how the universe truly began is one that only those who were a part of the beginning would know.
It begins with two, brothers with twin hearts, born to the species only known as the 'Creators'. Both brothers cherished each other's presence, their twin hearts, or sparks as they called them, flourished when they were together and they were never apart. It was only when they had been chosen for their roles as the Creators of a new universe that they were to be separated indefinitely. Their roles were to be polar opposites; good and evil, life and death, heaven and hell. The youngest was to be the dark side of the universe while the elder was to be the good, but the elder brother refused to put his dear sibling through such a role and thus traded places with his brother against the norms of the Creator's traditions. So, as this new universe came into existence, the younger brother became the 'Primus' of the universe and the elder brother became the 'Unicron'.
The two brothers mourned the loss of their other half, but continued with their roles as polar opposites, clashing in places when needed both in the heart and souls of the living and as physical beings the size of planets. They did their jobs well, fully dedicated to their new eternal rivalry and the short instances when they could feel whole, until it was time to slumber. To continue their roles, Primus created a species of transforming robotic organisms like himself called the Transformers and Unicron created his own species like the Transformers called the Terrorcons.
The Transformers would reside upon Primus's alternative form, a planet that they would later call Cybertron. The Transformers were not all good as Primus would be. No, Primus created them to reflect his rivalry with his brother, some will be good, and some will be bad, but they have the capability of being both. The Transformers also can transform into various types of vehicles.
The Terrorcons, whom resided upon Unicron's planet form, Tartarus, are very different from the transformers. Unlike the Transformers, they have zero capability to be good, they are sadistic horrible beings that thrive on the pain and suffering of others. They are, by default, stronger than a normal Transformer, they transform into dragons rather than vehicles, and they are immortal unless killed with no ability to reproduce.
These two species of transforming robotic lifeforms clash like Primus and Unicron have before them and each time, the Terrorcons would lose, just as Unicron before them. As the numbers of the Terrorcons kept getting smaller and smaller, the Terrorcon leader began to search for a solution.
A solution that he found, one that shouldn't exist, and one that will change this universe and many others.
One that went by the name of Starlight.
