HISTORY
(WARNING: MUCH SCROLLING LIES AHEAD)

The Autobots free a planet from the Decepticons. The planet has a strange transformation pool, which allows intelligences to reform them selves. The natives use the pool to become mer-people, to escape the peoples' city, which is ruled by an old Quintisson Decepticon robot. In creating the Stunticons and Aerobots, the Key to Vector Sigma is destroyed. Alpha Trion is absorbed into Vector Sigma. Alpha Trion gives the Key to the Plasma forge to Optimus, where the first Quintisson robots were made. Over the next 20 years, Humans help Autobots and Decepticons both, with sometimes disastrous results. The most prominent Human is Spike, who does extensive research into Autobot technology. Spike Witwicky marries Carlie, who is also a friend of the Autobots. Earth obtains technology to expand beyond the Solar System. Other Autobots and Decepticons, learning that Optimus Prime and Megatron are on Earth, rejoin the ranks of their companions. Some allow themselves to be disguised as Earth vehicles; some do not. Spike and Carlie Witwicky have a son, Daniel. Autobots discover "cassette" technology similar to the Deceptions', which allows them to build cassettes for Blaster. Primacrom, an immortal alien scientist, becomes jealous of the Transformers and their powerful planet Cybertron. He constructs Unicron, a massive Transformer the size of a moon, and orders him to subjugate Cybertron for him. Unicron rebels, fleeing his creator and devouring various planets as he travels though interstellar space at light speed. But, driven by his programming, Unicron telepathically probes the Transformers on Earth. He is horrified to find the Autobot Matrix of Leadership, an energy matrix that, used properly, could annihilate him. He begins forming a plan to use agents to acquire or destroy the Matrix. Primacrom's assistant, an energy being, cannot handle Omicrom's ego-driven insanity and leaves.

C. 2005 A.D.
The Decepticons leave for Cybertron, allowing a short time of peace on Earth. The Autobots build Autobot City, planning on using it as a base and a gigantic Transformer warrior, Metroplex. Spike has a son named Daniel, and then goes with a team of Autobots to use Cybertron's moons as a stepping-stone to attack the Decepticons. On his way to Cybertron, Unicron eats a planet of cyborgs who had learned of him years before, but fails to capture one of the natives, a being named Krannix. Unfortunately, Megatron learns of this Autobot plan and hijacks an Autobot ship going to Earth. Several Autobots die in the hijacking. Seconds before the ship lands, Hot Rod and Daniel discover the Decepticons and fire upon them, giving the other Autobots warning and time to transform Autobot City into Defense Mode. But caught by surprise, many Autobots are killed. A message is sent to Optimus on Cybertron, but even at super-luminal speed a starship will take 12+ hours to reach Earth. Prime arrives with reinforcements, and fights Megatron. The Decepticons retreat, taking their dead and wounded with them. Prime is damaged beyond repair, and dies, passing on the Matrix to Ultra Magus. The Matrix does not accept him. Megatron and other damaged Decepticons are set adrift in interstellar space, where they are met by Unicron. Unicron reforms them into his own agents, and gives them a starship to kill the Matrix with. Megatron, now Galvatron kills Starscream to regain Decepticon leadership, then attacks the Autobots on Earth. Unicron arrives in orbit around Cybertron, eating one of the moons. Spike and Bumblebee are presumed dead. Galvatron learns that Unicron controls all of his creations via a subspace link to a pain circuit. The Autobots flee Autobot in two ships. During the battle that follows, one ship with the Dinobots, Kup, and Hot Rod crash on a planet, while the other ship self-destructs in order to fool Galvatron that Springer, Arcee, Ultra Magnus, and Daniel are dead with the Matrix. In reality the bridge of the starship crashes on a junk planet. Hot Rod wakes up to find himself in a parody of a planet were biological life forms are imitated in robotic forms. He rescues Kup, only to be captured by Sharkticons. The two are taken to a jail where he meets Krannix, the last survivor of Unicron's latest planet. Then Krannix is sentenced to death. The rulers of the world are five-faced cyborgs, which delight in sentencing the Autobots to death also. Kup and Hot Rod are rescued by the Dinobots, who found an ally named Wheelie. The Autobots steal an alien ship to search for the others. On the junk planet, Daniel and the others are ambushed by Decepticons and alien Transformers alike. Ultra Magnus is shattered, and the Matrix taken. Hot Rod and the others arrive on the junk planet, and befriend the Junkion Autobots. The Autobots and Junkions alike then reactive Ultra Magnus and head to Cybertron to stop Unicron. In Cybertron orbit, Galvatron tries to throw off Unicron's yoke. In response, Unicron transforms from Planet to Battle mode, and attacks Cybertron. Shockwave assembles the Deceptions on Cybertron to attack Unicron. Many Decepticons die. Hodrod and the Junkions arrive, and Hotrod pilots a damaged starship into Unicron's head unit, blinding one eye but causing little overall damage. The Junkion ship continues to strafe Unicron. Inside Unicron, the Autobots are separated, with Springer, Kup, Ultra Magnus, and Daniel freeing Spike and Bumblebee while Hotrod meets and fights Galvatron for the Matrix of Leadership. Galvatron is driven mad by his old memories of being Megatron, independent of Unicron's control, and Unicron's use of pain to goad Galvatron to action. Grimlock discovers that his "brute force" strategy may need revamping. Hot Rod manages to get the Matrix from Galvatron, and the Matrix's acceptance of him causes an energy-to-matter transfer, changing Hot Rod to Rodimus Prime. Rodimus hurls Galvatron out of Unicron, and then opens the Matrix from its crystal shell. The Matrix energy divides again and again, damaging Unicron wherever it touches him. Rodimus recollects the energy and then leads the other Autobots out of Unicron's head. Inside Unicron, the damage done by the Matrix energy reaches overload. Unicron explodes from the inside, leaving only his head intact. With the Decepticons fleeing Cybertron, the planet is now in control of the Autobots again.

After 2005 A.D.
A crypt for the Decepticons and a flying mausoleum for the Autobot dead are made. Cyclonus and Scourge find Galvatron and the Decepticons arise again. Five-faced aliens, now discovered to be the descendants (and a few originals) of the Quintissons, begin to study the rediscovered Transformers and their organic allies, the humans. The Quints try everything from time travel to brainwashing to regain their manufacturing planet, Cybertron. All other female Autobots other than Arcee are presumed dead. The Autobots and Decepticons travel throughout the Galaxy, using alien trans-dimensional gates, their plasma star drive, and other technologies. The Decepticons create Tripticon, making a rival to the Autobots' Metroplex. The Quintissons build their own Transformers, calling them the Horrocons, in order to fight the Cybertronian Transformers. They destroy their own adopted home planet Quintessa in an attempt to kill Rodimus Prime. The Quints try to activate a failsafe device inside each and every Made-made robot, but are foiled by the Human Spike. Rodimus Prime begins to experiment with the Matrix, trying to discover its uses. A gangster on Earth convinces Snake, a retired terrorist, to use synthoid technology to transfer the Autobots into Human bodies, which are easier to kill. His plot to use the Autobots' bodies to attack Autobot City is thwarted by the synthoids themselves. Snake escapes, the gangster does not. Grimlock undergoes a mind boost, which he uses to create the Technobots. Grimlock then backslides to normal. The Autobots free a star system from a Quintisson "quadrant lock" that kept the entire star system in a special pocket of space-time. The reason behind the confinement was to keep a race of telepathic people from progressing to space flight. The Quintissons use a "time window" to take Alpha Trion (A3) from the past so that the First Cybertronian War never happens, and they will be returned to power. The Autobots intervene, and the plan fails. The "neutrals" planet Panadron in its pocket universe is discovered by Cyclonus and Scourge. The planet is full of non-Transforming Autobots that tried to escape the Wars. When Galvatron arrives, the Panadronians contact the Autobots on Cybertron. Rodimus Prime orders the neutrals to blow up the planet to prevent Galvatron from using it. Transformer Sandstorm rejoins the ranks of the Autobots. Starscream's ghost, freed inadvertently from his remains by Octane, possesses one of the Sweeps, and tries to get his body back and also destroy Galvatron. Starscream even helps Unicron's head to use Cybertron for a new body, but backstabs him at the last moment. The last news of Starscream had him in a new body but flung out of control from Cybertron. Primacron tries to capture Cybertron again, this time using an energy being he created. The energy being Tormetron absorbs the energy from the Cybertronians, first on Luna, then Earth, then Cybertron, effectively killing them. Primacron's old assistant manages to contact the "primitive' Transformers while they were battling on Luna and guides them to destroy the energy creature. Tormetron proves more than the Dinobots, Abominous, and Sky Lynx or Tripticon can handle.
