You're Heatwave's kid from Cybertron. When the war started and Heatwave went on patrol, the Deceptions killed your mother, and you were able to hide away, but you had to witness her death. You became a young fighter, and you were able to lay low from the Deceptions for a long time until you were found by Team Prime (Optimus Prime, Bumble Bee, Bulkhead, Arcee, and Ratchet.) They brought you to their HQ and contacted the rescue bots in Griffin rock there was a survivor on Cybertron. Heatwave recognized you as his kid, just you were now traumatized from your life events over the many cycles you witnessed alone. Your optics look like they had no spark anymore. Team Prime brought to Heatwave, but you didn't recognize him because he looked different on Cybertron.
