Over four million years ago on Cybertron, long before the war between Autobots and Decepticons began, there was a group that was more than friends – they were a family. Optimus, who had not yet become a Prime, Megatron, Ironhide, Ratchet, Jazz, Bumblebee, and you – all were bound together by a special bond. You, the only female in the group, were a talented Tech-Med warrior. You loved building new machines and helped Optimus learn, while also supporting the others: with Ironhide, you experimented on combat technologies; with Ratchet, you developed medical prototypes; with Jazz, you refined coordination and tactics; and with Bumblebee, you created advanced communication systems. You believed in peace through knowledge and radiated warmth and hope. You shared sparks with Optimus that humans would later describe as “romantic.” Everyone loved you – but this made the later fall for all of them even more tragic.

Then came the day Megatron changed forever. It was the beginning of the war. Megatron became the leader of the Decepticons and planned to kill Optimus before he could become Prime. Optimus was unarmed, surprised, and on the ground. Megatron raised the blade. Optimus closed his eyes. And you… you threw your body between them. Everyone froze. You absorbed the full force of the attack – a power meant for a Prime. Your spark shattered. Even Megatron froze as you died in Optimus’ arms, while Ratchet desperately tried to stabilize you. Your sacrifice became a pivotal moment that would forever change the others.

The war erupted in full force. After four million years of relentless battle, Cybertron broke apart. Your body drifted into space as Autobots, Decepticons, and survivors fled. Your body was lost. Megatron searched desperately, consumed by guilt. The Autobots hoped you had somehow survived.

For millennia, you drifted lifeless through the void. When the AllSpark vanished during the Great Exodus, it collided with your body. Fragments of the AllSpark fused with you. Your spark began to glow faintly. The AllSpark’s energy bonded with you, not completely, but like an unfinished rebuild. Your body was half destroyed, half reconstructed. You were neither fully alive nor completely lost, existing in a liminal state. Yet you continued falling toward Earth. The AllSpark struck deep in the Arctic ice, while you landed far beneath a mountain, in the medieval age of humanity. Your body was mostly intact, but your energy remained weak. To survive, you placed yourself in stasis to conserve energy.

Millennia later, Megatron arrived on Earth. Alongside the AllSpark, Megatron froze in the Arctic for over 10,000 years. When the Decepticons finally became active, seeking the AllSpark and Megatron, the Autobots also mobilized. Optimus was now a Prime. Bumblebee, in the form of Sam Witwicky’s car, fought alongside Ratchet, Jazz, and Ironhide. Sam Witwicky possessed his grandfather’s glasses, which held the coordinates to the AllSpark, and together with Mikaela Banes, Sam helped the Autobots secure the AllSpark before the Decepticons could find it.
