## History

### The Great War

No one is really certain as to how Cybertron came about. Some believe that it via "naturally-occurring gears, levers, and pulleys", while others believe that the planet was actually the adopted form of a god: specifically, the light God Primus, who trapped himself and his rival, the dark god Unicron, in barren asteroids, which they then shaped into their physical forms, with Primus creating them to fight his arch foe should he rise again.

Either way, for millions of years ago, the glamorous metallic planet was a peaceful world. The Cybertronian populace thrived well and constructed large, towering cities all across the planet, with astronomy and culture flourishing most of all. However, all that changed when a terrorist group calling themselves "Decepticons" rose up from seemingly nowhere and attacked all of the major cities. They believed that Cybertron had grown weak and stagnant, so they decided to change that the only way they knew how: survival of the fittest. Under the command of a tyrannical madman named Galvatron, their carnage spread across the entire planet like a wildfire, using all kinds of advanced weaponry. Caught flatfooted, citizens all over Cybertron were quickly overwhelmed and billions were slaughtered, including the planet's leader, Zeta Prime. After his death and taking Cybertron's most prized artifact, the Matrix of Leadership, Galvatron sought to turn Cybertron itself into a cosmic dreadnought and conquer the entire universe. They would even force some of them to fight for their entertainment in their old Gladiatorial Pits. However, just as all hope seemed lost, a new leader rose from the Cybertronian capital of Iacon to stand up to this menace: Sentinel. He immediately took charge of the Cybertronian armed forces and mounted an enormous counter offensive on the terrorist group, with him dubbing them "The Destrons". They managed to push back the Decepticons and rebuilt their city-states, outfitting most of them with new defense systems to prevent any future attacks. Though the war lasted another one thousand years, it was all worth when Sentinel finally faced Galvatron in a final showdown in their capital of Kaon, killing the mad titan once and for all. With that, he retook the Matrix for his people and took over rule of Cybertron as the next Prime.

### The Quintesson Invasion

After so many decades of brutal violence, Cybertron was once again at peace. Most of the Decepticon survivors decided joined the Destron ranks after seeing the errors of their ways, while a few of them fled the planet to hide on other worlds. However, the war had left the planet's Energon reserves were drastically low, with only a few decades worth left. Seeing this, Sentinel Prime commissioned the creation of the Space Bridge program and, along with a fleet of 13 starships (in honor of the original 13 Primes), sought to set up Cybertronian strongholds all across the galaxy. Small pockets of resistance rose up sprouted up every now and again, but they were all quickly put down. However, then came the Quintessons: sinister, robotic creatures with five-sided faces, each side with a different face, including the face of Death. These tentacle beings were warmongers that profited off of creating wars and conflict among other worlds, and targeted Cybertron for colonization and to seize some of their incredible technology for their own uses. With most of the heavy-hitting Destrons off-planet, they launched a surprise attack on the planet, capturing it for themselves. Most of the Cybertronians were enslaved and forced to work factories to manufacture more weapons, and anyone who resisted were either simply destroyed or recycled into other weapons. Thankfully, Sentinel Prime and his remaining troops finally managed to break through their blockades and freed their people from tyranny and enslavement once more, and the Quintessons were quickly thrown off the planet, though not without heavy casualties.

### The Promised "Peace" & Revolution

There were those who opposed the tyranny of Sentinel Prime's merciless Destron regime, but they were scattered and would be crushed rather quickly. But there would come a leader, in the form of a battle-hardened warrior named Ironhide. He had served as one of the Destron Corps' top generals and drill sergeants since even before the Decepticon attacks, and he was fully aware of the atrocities . Soon enough, he decided he had had enough. Working alongside more of his other veteran teammates, he soon gathered up a large number of others who felt the same way, including other splintered resistance cells, and they soon came to call themselves "Autobots", to represent their autonomy from Prime's iron fist.

### 2016

As the rebellion waged on, in the Earth year of 2016, a Lieutenant Commander of the Autobot resistance known as Rodimus was assigned to take his squadron to explore the galaxy to establish a base for the Autobot forces in case worse came to worse and they needed to evacuate Cybertron.
