Children of the Allspark

Prelude

It began ages ago, on the distant planet of Cybertron. The Allspark and its power contained within a cube, the ancient relic of our past, gave life to our kind long ago. Life which at one time was filled with peace and prosperity, until those of our kind became obsessed with power and dominance over others.

Soon a war broke out over the Cube and the power contained within, the power of the Allspark, a war that consumed and ravaged our planet until there was nothing left. During the course of the war, the Cube was lost to us, flung into the depths of space. So we left our home in search of the Cube. For many years we searched and struggled to find it, but to no avail.

Then, word of a new discovery reached us. The Cube had been located, it had landed on an unknown planet called Earth. When we arrived, we were already too late. Our enemies were there, waiting and searching for signs of the Cube themselves.

There was battle once again, only this time not on our planet, but on this planet called Earth. It was there that Megatron, the leader of the Decepticons, whom we had thought lost forever, had been found, and freed from his icy prison. We fought a bitter battle with Megatron and his forces over the Cube.

We won, but not without a heavy toll. They fled to regroup, at that time we bid our human allies farewell for there was little need for them to take part in our war any longer. Otherwise the Decepticons would be back to reclaim what they deemed to be rightfully theirs.

For many years the war seemed as if it was turning in our favor, we were reclaiming ground on Cybertron, and peace was returning, our world had begun to flourish as it once did long ago with prosperity. With that power of the Allspark, we were achieving victory.

Then, just as swiftly as the war had turned in our favor, we had picked up from Decepticon transmissions that there were two creatures of unknown heritage and origin that had a power much like that of the Allspark.

Ancient lore had always told us that when the Cube gave life, a piece of that power had gone into making our spark. But what if the Cube had transferred more than just a spark for life?

With that message, we, myself and my elites, Jazz, my second in command, Ironhide, my weapons specialist, Ratchet, our medical officer, and Bumblebee, our recon specialist, departed for the planet that held the two "children of the Allspark", not knowing whether or not our enemies had succeeded in getting there before us. Our mission was to protect the children and their power from the Decepticons. We could only hope that it was not too late . . .
