Summary: What would you be willing to do for your world and its people?
A/N: Thus the beginning of a very complicated series of stories, starting before Cybertron even existed and ending long after the events of the movie. Get ready for more twists and turns than a roller coaster. :D
If their value is "beyond all price," it follows that rational beings must be treated "always as an end and never as a means only." This means, on the most superficial level, that we have a strict duty of beneficence toward other persons: We must strive to promote their welfare: we must respect their rights, avoid harming them, and generally "endeavor, so far as we can, to further the ends of others."

ooooooooooooo
Their race started with the Allspark. It started with the creation of two nearly omnipotent beings by the Allspark: Unicron and Primus. Representatives of the two universal constants: chaos and order. Almost from the moment of their creation the two behemoths were in conflict with each other. Their battles spanned millennia with no chance of victory for either one, until the Allspark gave into the inevitable and dealt with them itself.
Both were sealed into the forms of planets, and while Unicron was sent to the other side of the universe, Primus was left in place orbiting a small star. On Primus the Allspark started again, creating a much smaller, more balanced entity that was given the task of looking over those that would come later. His function was to guide the self designated-Cybertronians to a peaceful existence by any means necessary. Without this he was nothing. He was Zero.
He watched. He listened. Very little about his people escaped his notice. Secrets never stayed a secret from him for long. This information gave him power, allowed him to gain a high position. All those that were of use to him were carefully protected. All those that stood in his way were dealt with swiftly. They were his tools.
Zero himself was a tool. He was the tool of the Allspark and of Cybertron. He existed solely to serve his Creator and the planet he called home. He would do anything for the Allspark. He would do anything…for Cybertron.
