Age of Thralldom - The Occupation

While the Sparkborn waged their war, a new player entered the game; they called themselves Quintessons. Upon returning to a millennia old abandoned outpost of theirs, they came upon the warring Sparkborn. It was decided to study them so as to master the secrets of this transforming race. By the time Zealotron’s progeny, Galvatron, was delegated the Destron’s new leader, the Quintessons solved their enigmas and sent forth their creations, the Omega Sentinels and Predocons, to enslave the populace of Cybertron. Within moments the sparkborn were seized, put into servitude by these new overlords, and cut off from everything they had built. Guardian Prime led a failed resistance in their first mission and was captured. The scientists desired to analyze Guardian for his unique properties of being one of the Thirteen. The experiments on his physiology scarred his structure permanently. He was unable to neither hold nor even connect to the discarded Matrix of Leadership. But a lone mech in the deep recesses of the Quintesson dungeons found it; it chose this Novum to rise and become Nova Prime. He with his cunning and with Galvatron’s might commanded a new resistance. A force built strong from oppression, one that mounted an assault against their subjugators. Nova united his people against this common threat, drove the Quintessons back to their home planet, and ushered in a new age, the golden age of Cybertron.

Age of Schisms

While Guardian and Alchemist Prime are credited for building and guiding the modern Cybertronian civilization, the betrayal of a Prime lead many to doubt their guidance. Some dispersed across the new planet in attempts to find their own direction. This divergence of course led to the formation of many separate city-states, each with its own values and laws. As Cybertron’s population grew so did the discord between the sovereignties. Within one particular city-state grew a cult of worshippers that slowly grew into a religion. This religion centered on the opposing pantheon of the Gods of Light, the Gods of Darkness where Unicron rules. The charismatic Zealotron commanded this flock of unaware Destrons and rose to power against the non-aligned fractioned governments. It was quickly evident that the independent states would not last unless they teamed together against this common threat and so was formed the Cybertrons with Guardian Prime as the figurehead. These actions started the second civil war for their race.
