HISTORY
G1
9 million years B.C.
An alien race called the Quintisons create Vector Sigma and the planet Cybertron (about the size of Mars, but much heavier as it is entirely metal and air). They start selling military and personal robots o the dominant life-forms in the Milky Way Galaxy. The biggest buyers happen to be humanoid in shape, so the robots are made in bilateral humanoid form, with male and female characteristics for variety. Vector Sigma, the ultimate computer, is the only way to control the Plasma Energy Chamber and other parts of Cybertron. The Quintisons, mistrustful of even their own creations, make the Plasma Energy Chamber give off to much energy, so that all robots trying to use it will overload. The Quintisons, being organic, have no such problem with the Plasma. The robots develop true sentient "soul" and rebel against their alien masters, who have gotten fat and lazy off selling robots and acting like kings. Thus begins the First Cybertronian War. A scientist robot named A3 is one of the leaders, with a female scientist called Beta as his second-in-command. A3 manages to make a controller device to override the Quintisons' Guardian enforcer robots. The former masters are forced to flee Cybertron. Thus begins the "Golden Age of Cybertron", a time of pure science and self-discovery for Cybertronian self-willed robots. A depository for the greatest scientists' and leaders' minds is made and called the AutobotMatrix of Leadership. As time progresses, this Matrix is found to have strange powers of remote energy-matter transferrence. Only certain Autobots who have the both the proper mind and body shape can use the Matrix. A tradition of calling the Autobot leader "Prime" is started. Vector Sigma is the only computer that can program new robot bodies and as before, each robot is given a personality at "birth". The military robots name themselves Decepticons and try to rule Cybertron as their own planetary kingdom. This is the beginning of the Second Cybertronian War. In all the chaos of the war, some robots (Autobots and Decepticons alike) try to remain nuetral, but they are soom forced to choose between the Decepticon "camp" or the Autobot "camp".
The robots on both sides learn how to reconstruct their bodies to transform, allowing them to become vehicles, equipment, or weapons. They are powered by energon, a condensind energy-matrix that is used to convert matter to energy and then tapped for power. Thus any matter can be used to power their bodies, but the best results come from electricity. Over the next 5 million years the second and third Cybertronian Wars pass, with different Decepticons and Autobots ruling Cybertron while the losers flee the planet, become prisoners, or are outright killed.
A3, now known as Alpha Trion, is still an Autobot scientist at the end of the Third Cybertronian War. He inherited the Autobot Matrix when the last Autobot leader fell, but did not accept the mantle of leadership. When the current Decepticon leader Megatron damages warehouse-worker Orion Pax and two others, Alpha Trion recreates Orion Pax into Optimus Prime and the two others into Aleeta One and Ironhide. He gives Optimus Prime the Autobot Matrix of Leadership, giving new life to the Autobot cause against the Decepticons. Thus the Fourth Cybertronian begins.
In the Decepticon camp, leadership is held by the strongest and most ruthless of dictators. Megatron also shows a cunning for battle stradegy. The Decepticons learn a new size-changing science, allowing Soundwave (who can later change into a cassette) and his minions (who can also later change into cassettes) to transform from 50 feet tall to half a foot (Megatron's original transform-mode is unknown, perhaps a giant gun similar to Shockwave).
Starscream, a transformer with an immortal spark (a spark is like a heart), joins the Decepticon camp. Megatron corrupts the Constructicons (a group of peaceful Autobots in Crystal City) and grants them the ability to connect together to form Devastator. They destroy the city and almost destroy it's Guardian robot turned Autobot Transformer, Omega Supreme. Megatron attempts to corrupt Omega Supreme but fails and the technology is destroyed. Omega Supreme is left with a hatred for Decepticons and followes the Constructicons off of Cybertron. Some Autobots leave Cybertron and learn how to survive on a planet of mechanical dumpsites, calling themselves "Junkions". The Quintisons nurse their wounds on a far-off terraformed planet called Quintessa. They continue their weapon-dealing ways around the galaxy. Energon becomes and acceptable form of money in many star systems. A group of super-pacifist, nuetrals, and Autobots leave Cybertron, finding a wormhole to a pocket universe. Over the next millenia they cyber-form a planet into a second Cybertron, calling it Paradon.
