Unicron fights back — decimating the fleet. Prime orders all troops — including those on Earth and Omega Supreme , victorious in his battle against the Four Horsemen — to pull back to Cybertron. They have to defend their planet with every warrior at their disposal. Cybertron could still be consumed. On Earth, Rodimus and the others are ready to launch themselves through the spacebridge portal intended for Demolishor and Kicker.
Kicker insists on coming too. He can make a difference! They need each and every edge they can get. Kicker bids farewell to Rad and Carlos and Alexis. Prime leads the charge, knowing they just have to delay Unicron just long enough! Within Unicron, as Megatron makes his bid for freedom, blasting his way past part-digested Quintessons, so the seismic-shock device goes critical, beginning a monumental, apocalyptic chain reaction.
The Autobots and Decepticons retreat, just as a monumental explosion tears Unicron apart! A vast shockwave spreads, smashing into the still open portal, causing it to implode. Cybertron is rocked by a tidal wave of force — scattering the awed Autobots and Decepticons. In the aftermath a new threat to Cybertron surfaces. The portal has turned into a hungry, all-consuming threat of its own and Cybertron is slowly, inexorably being pulled towards it! And no, I never got as far as detailing how Transformers Cybertron would have played out in comic form.
But I have one last treat from my Dreamwave archive still to impart. A little present from me to you! This entry was posted on Friday, December 17th, at pm and is filed under Uncategorized.

The whole point of the second movie is Megatron teaming up with the Fallen to reactivate the Sun Harvester he put here ages ago. But again, the good guys win, and humanity gets another stay of execution.
It is! Anything else? Sam Witwicky the sweaty boy from the first two movies, played by Shia LaBeouf and his great-great-grandfather Archibald Witwicky the guy who discovered Megatron in the Arctic are part of a long line of Transformer secret keepers.
One more thing? Yes, the Transformers heroines exist in this unimpeachable order. There will be no disagreeing. Already a subscriber? Notably, the origins of the planet are never explicitly stated—the Quintessons may have built it, terraformed an organic world, or colonized an existing metal planet. Whatever the case, after a million years, the Quintessons were forced to abandon Cybertron when their robots evolved true sentience and feelings, and knew they were being used as slaves, rebelling in the First Cybertronian War.
Though the early Cybertronians were able to successfully drive their cruel masters offworld, this new peace was short-lived; "consumer goods" robots developed into the peace-loving Autobots , while "military hardware" evolved into the warmongering Decepticons , and the two factions went to war. With the Autobots' innovation of transformation, they were able to win—or at least stalemate—the war, and a period of peace descended on Cybertron, which shone with a healthy golden glow, distinguishing the period as the " Golden Age ".
Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4. Eventually, however, Decepticons adopted transformation as well, along with robot mode flight, and around nine million years ago, the creation of the Decepticon Megatron re-ignited the war on Cybertron. Megatron rallied like-minded individuals to his cause, and brainwashed others into his service, quickly killing the current Autobot leader in a strike on one of Iacon 's outer cities. With this act kept out of the public knowledge, rumors circulated as Autobot machinesmith Alpha Trion worked diligently on a new process to reconstruct Autobots into battle-hardy configurations for the war he knew was coming.
That war finally erupted in full when Megatron fatally injured a naive young dock worker, Orion Pax, and Alpha Trion made him the first subject of his new process, reconstructing him into Optimus Prime , who would lead the Autobots in the Third Cybertronian War. War Dawn. After a further five million years of war, during which many Autobots fled the planet, the Decepticons had acquired a large hold on the planet, with the majority of it under their control. The main Autobot force continued to operate from the capital city-state of Iacon, but Cybertron's energy levels were depleted to a dangerous low, necessitating a space mission to locate a new planet with new sources of energy that the Transformers could harness.
Optimus Prime led his best and brightest on the Ark , but they were pursued by Megatron's elite troops, and all were stranded in stasis on Earth for four million years. More than Meets the Eye, Part 1. In the ensuing four million years, Shockwave , who Megatron had left in charge as guardian of the planet, maintained the Decepticon hold on the planet, though he was unaware of the continued guerrilla efforts of Elita One 's Female Autobots to undermine him as they raided his energy supplies.
The Search for Alpha Trion Eventually, Cybertron's energy level dipped so low as to put the planet in immediate, mortal danger.
Reestablishing contact with Megatron, who had awoken with the other Transformers on Earth in the year , Shockwave co-designed the space bridge , an intergalactic transport system that could transport energon cubes from Earth to Cybertron, abating the planet's impending doom. Transport to Oblivion. Cybertron's place in the universe was forcibly altered in when the Decepticons constructed a colossal space bridge that actually transported the entire planet into the Sol system , into Earth's orbit, The Ultimate Doom, Part 1 where its gravity wreaked havoc with the planet's natural balance, unleashing an unending torrent of energy created by natural disasters.
The Ultimate Doom, Part 2 The energy acquired re-energized Cybertron enough to put it out of the danger zone, but the planet was soon knocked out of orbit by a massive energon explosion, and set drifting off through the solar system. The Ultimate Doom, Part 3 At this closer range, Cybertron remained easily accessed throughout at least, with the Autobots now able to reach it by conventional transportation Omega Supreme , rather than having to constantly hijack use of the spacebridge.
By the Earth year , Cybertron had exited the Sol system, but, remaining within the Milky Way, was still relatively easily accessible by shuttlecraft from Earth.
By this time, the Decepticon forces had succeeded in conquering the entire planet, forcing all the Autobots off it, leading them to relocate to Autobot City on Earth, and to two staging ground bases on two of Cybertron 's moons. It was at this time that Cybertron came under attack from the world eater, Unicron , who consumed the two moonbases and assaulted Cybertron itself, only to be destroyed by the power of the Autobot Matrix of Leadership.
His deactivated, decapitated head fell into orbit around Cybertron, a grisly new satellite to replace those he had destroyed. The Transformers: The Movie With the Decepticon forces in disarray after Unicron's attack, Rodimus Prime and his troops succeeded in driving their foes off Cybertron, reclaiming the planet for the Autobots, and restoring and re-energizing much of the planet by , Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1 when the world came under frequent attacks from the returning Quintessons, whose previously-secret history with the Transformers came to light.
Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5. In the year , Cybertron was once again wrenched from its place in space when Galvatron and the Decepticons invaded the planet and constructed a massive planetary engine that propelled Cybertron back into Earth orbit once more. Once there, Galvatron opened the Plasma Energy Chamber, intending for the energy release to drive the Sun supernova, consuming Earth, Cybertron and everything else in one final destructive blow.
Spike Witwicky and the Autobots' Nebulan allies were able to stop this plan by reversing the rocket engine, which drained off the excess solar energy and channeled it straight into Vector Sigma, which used it to fully re-energize Cybertron.
Its rich golden hue restored, Cybertron entered a new Golden Age. The Rebirth, Part 3. The Oracle's body was destroyed, but his essence, encased within a protective shell, fled to a dead planet at the center of the universe, which he proceeded to transform into a verdant, living world.
In time, the Quintessons discovered the Oracle's world and invaded, taking control of the Oracle and his powers. The Oracle was transformed by the Quintessons into the mega-computer Vector Sigma and also obtained the shell that had held his essence, which went on to become the Matrix of Leadership. Using the power of the Key to Vector Sigma , the Quintessons transformed the Oracle's green planet into the metallic Cybertron.
This article is a stub and is missing information. You can help Transformers Wiki by expanding it. In , it was discovered that the release of the energy of the Matrix by Optimus Prime to cure the Hate Plague had much more far-reaching consequences that anyone suspected.
With the Matrix's energy depleted, Vector Sigma's balance—permanently tilted in favor of the Autobots by the existence of the Matrix—was reset to neutrality, allowing the Decepticons, bolstered by their new Headmaster troops, to freely invade Cybertron. Eventually, this forced Optimus Prime to sacrifice his life by merging with Vector Sigma in order to stabilize the computer before it destroyed Cybertron from within.
Not long thereafter, Vector Sigma developed a new metal alloy dubbed Cybertonuron , which enticed Galvatron into another raid on the planet. However, the Decepticon Headmaster leader, Zarak , feared the power that Galvatron would gain from the alloy, and so, to prevent either him or the Autobots from obtaining it, arranged for his Headmasters to plant bombs at the core of the planet, within Vector Sigma's chamber.
The Autobots were unable to stop the countdown and the bombs detonated, tearing Cybertron apart and leaving it a charred uninhabitable ruin drifting in space. Having survived the devastation of Cybertron, Vector Sigma granted the Autobot Disaster Relief Team new bodies and powers so that they could rebuild the planet. By , Cybertron had been made inhabitable once more. Sky Reign Chapter That same year, Unicron's head returned and attempted to turn the planet into his new body, but was repelled.
Ruination Chapter, Part Two. Some time beyond the year , Cybertron began to suffer from a major energy shortage. In order to re-energize the struggling planet, Optimus Prime upgraded into a Powermaster and ventured into a black hole to obtain the super-energy nucleon , which was used to restore Cybertron to its former glory. Nucleon Quest Super Convoy bio. Following the conversion of Cybertron into a technorganic planet, Vector Sigma also underwent an upgrade and effectively turned into the "soul" of the planet, becoming the ultimate authority of the planet who issued its will through the newly created Convoy Council.
Tens of thousands of years later, when Vector Sigma discovered that the Blentrons were trying to resurrect Unicron with Angolmois Energy , the supercomputer converted Cybertron back to a wholly mechanical planet in preparation for war.
Bonus Edition Vol. Tens of thousands of years into the future, in the era of the Maximals and Predacons , the mechanical Cybertron was reigned over by Vector Sigma, who handed down orders through the ruling body known as the Convoy Council. When Unicron was resurrected as an energy being, he sought to use Cybertron as a new physical body, as his original body at the Triple Z Point was too ravaged to serve as a suitable vessel. Maximals Unicron was able to get through all of Cybertron's defenses and merged with Vector Sigma itself, granting him absolute control over Cybertron and the planet began converting into an imitation of Unicron's original planet mode.
End of the Maximals!? In the aftermath, Predacons and Maximals united to rebuild the planet. Graduation Ceremony!! However, the Machine Wars ended in a matter of weeks and inadvertently brought about the signing of the Pax Cybertronia. Termination A Common Foe. In , the Star Seekers arrived from a temporal journey through transwarp to enact Captain Cannonball 's newest scheme: plunder Cybertron of all its energon using Unicron's head when Cybertron would be at peace and have high levels of energy.
The pirates attracted the attention of Cybertron's elite defenders, the Cybertronian Knights , but during the clash aboard Unicron's head, Alpha Trizer gave Cannonball a crushing revelation: his scheme was doomed to fail from the start because the Cybertron he was attacking was technorganic and no longer ran on energon as a result of the Great Transformation.
Hoist the Flag. Cybertron was originally a mere satellite, built to ensure peace between a coalition of planets. But the powerful computer within the satellite proved too advanced for it to remain in its initial form; using electromagnetic forces to draw in other satellites, it used their materials to build itself up.
This ultimately led to a malfunction of the computer, and the civilizations that had built it found themselves no longer able to access it. Though the united civilizations tried to stop the satellite, it kept on growing and becoming more sophisticated, eventually plundering all nearby resources and leaving its galactic neighborhood bare of resources. Ages passed and Cybertron became a planet proper, with metallic mountains and oceans of oil.
From it sprung primitive machines, which evolved into Transformers over the millennia. A Birth of Planet Saybertron. Eons ago, Cybertron was a verdant, Earthlike world, populated by a wide variety of organic creatures. Survivor This idyllic period came to an end when the first Transformers arrived on the planet, an event foreseen by the mystical Oracle that surrounded Vector Sigma ; The Reformatting their arrival evidently coincided with the extinction of Cybertron's natural biosphere, Survivor and over the eons Cybertronian civilizations would build over the rock and soil with metal upon metal, giving rise to the illusion that Cybertron was, and always had been, a world of technology alone.
The Reformatting Remnants of the past persisted in the lowermost levels of the planet, including stray plant life, Forbidden Fruit fossilized remains of the animals that had once roamed the surface , Survivor and an " organic core " composed of concentrated biological matter. The Key Successive generations of Cybertronians built atop old cities, layer after layer, only to be gradually forgotten.
The Reformatting. Three hundred years after the end of this conflict and the signing of the Pax Cybertronia , The Agenda Part 1 Cybertron would come to be populated by the Maximals and Predacons , descendants of the Autobots and Decepticons. This great metamorphosis was precipitated by the " Great Upgrade ," described as the period of time when Cybertron's Autobot population transitioned to Maximals; old cities like Iacon were once again abandoned and paved over to make way for new cities, like Cybertropolis.
The Search Three hundred years after the end of the conflict, Cybetron was once more a peaceful, prosperous planet, governed by the Maximal Elders , Possession while the Tripredacus Council controlled the affairs of the Predacons. The Agenda Part 1. Peacetime diversions included the Six Lasers Over Cybertron amusement park; "mature" entertainment included joints where the servers went around without their torso plates on. When Optimus Primal and his starship went missing, temporal probes were dispatched from Cybertron in the hopes of finding where he and his crew had vanished to.
The Probe Not long afterwards, the transwarp wavefront generated by the destruction of the Planet Buster superweapon was due to hit the planet only for the Tripredacus Council to disrupt it before it reached Cybertron, allowing them to covertly dispatch Ravage to bring in Megatron.
The tranquility of this age would come to a rapid end when Megatron returned from the Beast Wars and set a virus loose on the world that incapacitated the population and paved the way for Vehicon rule.
Under Megatron's reign, the villain sought to reorganize the entirety of Cybertronian civilization into one vast machine controlled by a single, overriding intellect—his own. Master of the House Megatron would be opposed, however, by Optimus Primal and his band of Maximals, who, after discovering the Oracle, befriending a survivor of Megatron's attack , and learning the truth behind Cybertron's organic nature, Survivor believed that they needed to restore the organic to Cybertron and destroy all technology—a conflict that came to a head when Primal and Megatron pitted the Plasma Energy Chamber against the Key to Vector Sigma , unleashing a doomsday energy storm.
End of the Line. In the aftermath, Primal realized he had been wrong in his mission; rather, the Oracle wanted him to create a balance, a peaceful equilibrium of the organic and the technological. In the end, Primal would see his dream accomplished when he applied the power of the Oracle to the exposed organic core of Cybertron, his sacrifice converting the entire planet into a lush paradise where technorganic plants and animals coexisted with Transformers.
Seeds of the Future. According to Al-Badur , the Quintessons had once served Unicron, and in doing so, they'd found the "dimensional landing" of Primus: Cybertron. Rather than alert their master, however, they decided to capitalize on their discovery for their own purposes.
They attempted to subvert Primus's creations via the Plasma Energy Chamber, but the results were disastrous. Success came when they placed a shell program over Vector Sigma and channeled the divine power into creating a subservient race. That race would one day rebel and become the Transformers, but the Quintessons' influence remained in the form of the Vector Sigma shell program—otherwise known as the Oracle. Primus could nonetheless sometimes send messages from Vector Sigma through the Oracle, but it is difficult to tell the difference.
Almost three months after the Great Transformation , the Quintessons invaded Cybertron, hoping the sudden transition to technorganic would leave the Transformers disoriented. Instead, the population of Cybertron successfully repelled the invaders—and the Quintessons learned that they themselves had been pawns of Primus, who had deliberately manipulated the aliens so that Cybertron and his creations could make this great evolutionary leap.
One year later, this reality's Cybertron later became became the home base of the Children of Primus in the multiverse-spanning Universe War against Unicron. Abduction Escape Homecoming Unfortunately during the war, Cybertron fell victim to the "Culling", where Unicron's Minions cut a swath across the planet to feed the sparks of the victims to the Chaos-Bringer, though the invaders were ultimately repelled.
Revelations Part 2. The planet Cybertron and its two moons orbited Alpha Centauri ; a Saturn-sized mechanical world, the planet possessed an oxygen-based atmosphere capable of supporting carbon-based life.
Complex tunnel networks and advanced machinery existed in the deepest levels of the planet; some Decepticons, like Megatron, believed that Cybertron could become a mobile fortress equipped with planetary engines , and sought to make this dream a reality.
Transformers: More than Meets the Eye. The earliest Cybertronians supposedly arose from the Well of All Sparks , Conflagration but after creating the Transformers, Primus went dormant so as to avoid the attention of his ancient nemesis Unicron. The Sonic Canyons that spanned the planet's southern equator gathered data from across the universe so as to be analyzed by Vector Sigma, Transformers: The Ultimate Guide while Primus sealed the well to prevent Unicron from locating his physical form.
Conflagration Prior to the Great War, Megatron claimed to have discovered an artifact which suggested the truth behind the origins of the Cybertronian species, which would, over time, lead to the formation of the Decepticons. The Route of All Evil. The war between the Autobots and Decepticons would eventually lead to Optimus Prime and Megatron disappearing in a space bridge explosion; in their absence, however, the conflict continued, with Autobots, Decepticons, joined by various splinter factions.
The arrival of The Fallen briefly forced these competing factions to briefly work together, Conflagration and dwindling fuel supplies eventually led to the construction of energy-efficient Micromasters —though these warriors were eventually forced to take up arms as well. This state of affairs lasted for many millions of years; it would not be until some three thousand years ago that Shockwave reactivated and worked to bring other Transformers back online.
Cold War. Initially, after Cybertron's reawakening, Autobots were reluctant to trust Shockwave until key Autobots agreed to share leadership of Cybertron with him.
An underground resistance movement was formed and a young Hot Rod rose to leadership of one such faction. It wasn't until Optimus Prime's return to Cybertron that the majority of Autobots rededicated themselves to eliminating the Decepticons.
War and Peace. The Quintessons created both transorganics and the gladiator and slave races that would evolve into the Decepticons and Autobots. The Art of War 1. The planet was also the location of Teletran 3 , which accidentally transported members of G. Joe and Cobra to the alien world. Joe vs the Transformers 1. Shockwave was eventually defeated and the Decepticons were driven back to the Gladiator Zone , allowing Cybertron to be at peace for the first time in millennia.
A warp gate was set up between Cybertron and Area 52 on Earth. The Art of War 5 Notable locations on Cybertron included Capitol City and the large junkyards where the cannibalizers would reside.
The Art of War 3. After the death of Serpent O. Black Horizon, Part 1 of 2. Cybertron and its two moons orbited a yellow dwarf. Last Stand. Another theory postulates that Cybertron may have once been an organic world, one whose biological inhabitants made an evolutionary leap to a cybernetic existence before eventually discarding their organic heritage to become fully-mechanical lifeforms.
Spotlight: Nightbeat Evidence for this theory is corroborated by the planet Gorlam Prime , whose inhabitants underwent such a transition; after emerging from this "chrysalis state," they renamed their world "Cybertron," which raises some interesting questions about the origins of the Transformers. Spotlight: Sideswipe. The first known Cybertronian to come into existence was Primus himself; though later Transformers would deify him as a warrior-god, Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations Primus's only unique trait was the ability to manufacture photonic crystals.
He would be joined by four other Transformers— Epistemus , Mortilus , Solomus , and Adaptus —and together this first generation of Transformers would become known as the Guiding Hand. The Unremembering Together, they would go on to ignite the twelve hot spots across the planet, allowing Vector Sigma to begin sending the life-giving pulses of energy that ignited new sparks and gave rise to the first true "generation" of Transformers: the Knights of Cybertron , who turned the prehistoric planet into a paradise for both body and sprit.
The Death of Optimus Prime The predecessors of Functionist doctrine believed that, if tilted at just the right angle, Cybertron could refract the light of a sun, turning the planet itself into a weapon to be used against asteroids and other spaceborne threats. Some twelve million years ago, the ambitious Adaptus would turn on his comrades; seeking to introduce the notion of war to the species so as to avoid the stagnation he feared would soon grip the planet, he battled the other four members of the Guiding Hand in what would come to be called the " God War ".
Although the other members of the Hand fought back, they were unable to vanquish their enemy, who fled to the planet's first moon , readying an electromagnetic pulse that would leave the inhabitants of Cybertron disoriented while he retrofitted the moon into a primitive spaceship and fled.
The Unremembering Though this information creep would distort reality into garbled legends, the Knights of Cybertron remained known, and eventually opted to leave Cybertron aboard a fleet of Titans.
Deprived of their benevolent oversight, Cybertronian society regressed back to an era of barbarism, splintering into numerous smaller city-states and tribes. The Crucible This sequence of events would be noted as atypical compared to the development of most other civilizations, who established permanent world governments before mastering faster-than-light space travel. Shining Armor 3.
It was in this primitive landscape that the Decepticon Shockwave found himself after the destruction of his chronal drive in Unable to return to his own time, Shockwave slew the shepherd Onyx and manipulated events to bring the Thirteen together. Titans colonized distant worlds to expand the aegis of the Pax Cybertronia , including Caminus , Eukaris , Velocitron , and Devisiun , all in service to Shockwave's infinitely longer game. The Crucible It quickly became clear, however, that Cybertron's rapidly urbanizing population was not infinitely sustainable, prompting the younger version of Shockave to begin a plan to ensure that Cybertron could meet its energy needs; Shockwaves while Nova Prime planned a grand Expansion that would see Cybertron the capital of a grand interstellar empire, this plan fell through when he and his innermost retinue vanished aboard the Ark-1 in the Benzuli Expanse.
Spotlight: Galvatron. The reign of Nominus Prime saw the widespread automation of Cybertron's old energon mines, leading to an employment crisis as labourers lost their livelihoods. Megatron Origin 1 Antebellum Cybertron was seen as a backwater placed by alien civilizations, owing to the cultural stagnation Functionism brought to the planet. Chaos Theory Part 2. The subsequent Great War began four million years ago, and ravaged Cybertron until Thunderwing 's experiments with Pretender technology led to a mad rampage that left the planet completely uninhabitable.
With no atmosphere, Cybertron's surface was unprotected from cosmic radiation and was wracked by plasma storms. Transformers had to divert energy to their personal shielding in order to remain on the surface for short periods; the surface was presumably immediately lethal for humans.
Gravity was also weaker than normal and Transformers needed magno-treads to walk on the surface. The Transformer race abandoned the planet save for occasional scientific surveys from orbit and began conducting their conflict across the galaxy. According to Autobot command directives, landing on Cybertron was forbidden. Stormbringer 1 However, with the resurrection and subsequent defeat of Thunderwing, this directive was lifted due to the unusual circumstances.
Around the year , the wise Alpha Trion and Metroplex returned to Cybertron, with a plan to revive the planet. Over the next few years, Trion worked to repair Cybertron's atmosphere and rid it of radiation, though the planet remained dead and resourceless. Any Old Iron. A decade later, the Decepticons created the three Insecticons on Cybertron from a naturally-occurring subterannean species, Historia , and left the thousands of failed clones to their own devices.
When the Decepticons defeated the Autobots on Earth during the Surge , they sent their battered enemies through a portal to Cybertron, where the swarm would finish them off.
All Hail Megatron 7 By this time, Alpha Trion's hard work had eliminated much of the radiation and electromagnetic storms, so the Autobots survived their stay on the planet with only minor pains. Any Old Iron Later, the Autobot starship Trion was shot down over Cybertron, and its crew joined the rest of the survivors on its surface.
All Hail Megatron In order to make Cybertron habitable again, Trion revived Ironhide , who had been recently slain on Earth , to help take out the swarm.
Ironing Out the Details Trion then left again, with only Ironhide, Sunstreaker and a few hundred swarm members remaining on the planet, Any Old Iron which were eventually quashed by the time that Galvatron returned to Cybertron, intent on turning the metal world into his first line of defense against D-Void , a malevolent entity set on devouring all Transformers.
Heart of Darkness 4 By the time his army arrived on the planet, the swarm had seemingly been exterminated. The arrival of Galvatron caused Ironhide and Sunstreaker to flee on Rodimus 's newly arrived ship, after which they traveled to Earth to alert the rest of the Autobots to Galvatron's occupation.
Out of the Silent Planet. Who am I kidding? Of course it was. It was every bit as painful as I imagined it would be with change to spare. But if I at least managed to put the cat amongst the pigeons and the Autobot loincloths amongst the Decepticon testicles, then maybe, just maybe, we can all move on with our lives in a slightly better state of mind.
