Cybertron was once a powerful empire, peaceful and just. Until their leader's mistake caused a war. A war that ravaged the planet until it was consumed by death. This is the story of that war and how it spread to a small seemingly insignificant planet called… Earth.
In ancient times, the distant planet of Cybertron was ruled by the gentle hands of the Primes, descendents of the original thirteen Transformers. Each Prime picked a fembot and they would bond with the Allspark to create a single hatchling protoform. Primes were only allowed a single child o pass down The Matrix of Leadership to. The Matrix was an item that granted the user great power and wisdom. When the Prime's time came, he would pass the Matrix to his child and he would rule Cybertron. Sentinel Prime broke the rule of a single child. His love for his spark-mate was too strong. He had three children.
The eldest, Megatron. Megatron was born just after Sentinel recovered from a major illness. He was urged by the High Council to gain an heir. When Megatron's spark formed a dark storm engulfed Iacon. When Megatron's protoform fully formed it immediately stood up, a skill that normally takes hatchlings a few days to accomplish, and walked to his mother. He grabbed her leg in affection but his claws painfully pierced her armor.
The prodigy, Optimus. Unlike Megatron, Optimus was created out of love not need. Sentinel Prime broke the rule of a single child and once again bonded with his spark-mate. Optimus did not demonstrate any physical advancements as Megatron did. However his mental advancements far exceeded his sibling. He displayed advanced problem solving skills and, unlike his brother, he solved his problems by negotiating rather than through brute force.
The outcast, Starscream. Despite the Council's warnings after Optimus' birth, Sentinel and his spark-mate once again bonded but not with the Allspark. It was once said that in order for a spark to be created during bonding, the Allspark must also be joined with. Starscream however was created without the Allspark's interference. When his Spark was created it floated around near it's mother until Sentinel found a blank protoform for it to reside in. Despite desperately wanting to fit in, Starscream was rejected by his peers once they heard of his creation. He was dubbed a mutant, a freak. His parents were often too busy to help him and he lacked physical power. In order to survive his young life amongst his peers he had to be smart and cunning. Eventually he became one of the top students of Iacon Academy and formed a group of colleagues whom sought knowledge from him. They were called Seekers.
