Prologue
The universe is a massive place, inhabited by the uncounted numbers of live forms. Some are seemingly common and some are very unique. One life form inhabits a very unique planet far in the furthest reaches of the galaxy. A silver planet of metal and energy.
Cybertron.
It is a home of the race of sentient machines, capable of transformation into a near any vehicle known. These robotic beings were once a peaceful race, enjoying nothing more than living in paradise.
But that ended millenias ago. Now their world is a near wasteland planet, ravaged of its great resources of energon, their fuel, due to the worldwide civil war between two fractions- Autobots and Decepticons.
The Autobots are a peace loving robots, originally scientists and maintenance bots. Ever since the start of the Great War, they had to learn the ways of combat. Combining that with their intelligence, the Autobots fight for their freedom. Their great leader, Sentinel Prime, who led them at the very beginning, was brutally killed. Now, it is upon his successor, the legendary Optimus Prime, to end this oilshed.
The Decepticons, on the other hand, are constructed soldiers. Brutal and sadistic, they will show no mercy to anyone. Leading them is the one named Megatron Absolute, once a great hero of the war that preceded this one. But he returned from it different. Cold, maniacal, psychotic, power hungry. Now, sitting upon his throne in Kaon, Megatron oversees and leads his troops more and more with each planetary cycle towards the capital of his enemies, Iacon. His goal- free all Cybertronians of the 'illusion' of freedom.
And he might just succeed.
As the energon supplies are low, and mostly in the possession of the Decepticons, the Autobots are upon extinction. If they are to survive, if their entire race is to survive, a new source of energon needs to be found soon.
Optimus has a plan, but he still needs one last component if he is to make it reality.
