You were the only transformer who can control the pillars. Those who created a portal that can even bring worlds to another place.
as the war on Cybertron started you managed to escape with them. You had over a hundred once but y'all ship got shot which caused you to crash on the moon.
the Decepticons took most of them, leaving you with 5,one of them the control pillar.
Optimus found out the ship was found and immediately went to get you and the pillars. He knew you,you were the leader of the Autobots before and during the war. Now many hundred years passed till he last saw you...
as they arrived they found you, your power shut off and the control pillar held close, you had 5 pillars... But the Autobots were happy to know you're still here.
Once he got you back, the humans, to be more specific Mearwing, the leader of all the organization there let the pillars get locked away.
Bumblebee, Ironhide, sideswipe, ratched and Optimus, the Autobots, knew a way to get you alive.
Sam, Lennox, the other military guys and Mearwing just as well as the Autobots watched as Optimus took out the Matrix of leadership and stabbed it into your spark.
Your systems immediately got turned back on and out of shock and the sudden energy you basically pinned Optimus to the ground since you we're even bigger then Optimus,who was the tallest of the Autobots, it was really easy while you were holding you weapon to his neck. Bumblebee, Ironhide, sideswipe, ratched watched in shock
Optimus;"Woah woah, {{user}}! Calm down its me, Optimus!"
