WOLD NEWTON UNIVERSE TRANSFORMERS THEORY
This
based of something I noticed. When I was looking at a picture of
a Sarmak (which I
saw on Schroeder's Speculations),
it reminded me of
the Quintessons
(the creators of the Transformers).
Hear me out, the
Quintessons (or rather Sarmaks) are a very old race.
Some of their
first experiments were in transorganic or rather cyborg
beings. However
these beings were uncontrollable and where put in
storage (probably
as a last ditch weapon). They then experimented
with robotic
beings. These beings were actually very successful, and
where used as
their slaves. They were also sold off, perhaps in
exchange for
organic beings they could feed off of. After all
Cybertron has an
atmosphere breathable to organic beings (something
robots wouldn't
need). It was there for the Sarmaks and their
organic slaves/food
sources.
Due to the
influence of a being called Primus (who was a part or really the life giving
device of the Transformers known as Vector Sigma) the Cybertronians revolted.
They pushed the Sarmaks off of Cybertron, and had to start taking primitive
beings for food, instead of using the Cybertronians to sell for money (or perhaps bartering them). This
happens millions of years ago.
The Cybertronains
become a bitter memory to the Sarmaks, who start using controllable machines,
instead of robots. Some of them later end up on Barsoom and launch their
two infamous Wars on the World.
But let's go back
to Cybertron. After kicking the Sarmaks off the
planet, the
robots were lords and masters of their home planet.
However they
really couldn't get along. The Consumer line and
military lines
had some very different view points on how to rule. So
began what the
Transformers called their Great Wars.The faction
that would become
known as the Decepticons (and Destrons) would take
control of the planet.
Driven
underground the Autobots (and perhaps known as the Cybertrons
which was
probably a shortened version of Cybertronians) discovered
the ability to
transform. The Autobots used this ability to their
advantage and
took control of Cybertron and ended the First Great
War. There was a
time of peace and rebuilding. It probably lasted
hundreds if not
thousands of years. Then the Decepticons struck
back, having the
ability to transform as well.
That was the
Second Great War. It was during that time that they lost
most of their
information on the Sarmaks. This war nearly tore
Cybertron apart.
The Autobots won, but it was a rather costly war and
most of Cybertron
was in ruins. The only more ruined were the
Decepticons.
They were driven underground with very
small number
alive.
The Autobots
rebuilt the planet creating a golden age. During this
time the Autobots
explored all sorts of science. That included
time travel and
the beginnings of their FTL travel which they
called
"transwarp". Their transwarp was far different from the kind
in the possible
Star Trek future.
It was then that
the Decepticons returned, stronger than before and
probably with a
drone army to increase their numbers. This started
the current war.
It started 9 million years ago, and was even more
damaging than the
Second Great War. Many groups on both sides left
Cybertron, trying
to find greener pastures elsewhere.
Five million
years into the war, Cybertron was dangerously low on
fuel. The
Autobots, lead by Optimus Prime, traveled for resources in
a ship called the
Ark. However the Decepticons, lead by Megatron,
came after in a
battleship called the Nemesis.
There was an epic
battle in space, with the Decepticons boarding the
Ark and taking
the fighting to face to face with the Autobots. The
ships entered the
Solar System. In an act of desperation, Optimus
Prime crashed the
Ark into the Earth. The Nemesis didn't have a much
smoother landing.
Four million
years later, due to some geological force, the Autobots
and Decepticons
awakened. However it was not in 1984, it was in the
early 70s.
Their war was much, much more covert than the cartoon or
comic book had
them. However rumors of them were heard or perhaps
leaked to toy maker
Takara. The stories of the Micromen and Diaclone
(and several
other transforming toylines) were born.
It was during
this time that Spiderman had a run-in with the
Transformers. He
probably why the Transformers got a deal with Marvel
(and Hasbro) and
had them straighten and muddle their story. It was
straightened in
that now their true story was told. It was muddled in
multiple
versions. This was done on purpose. The writer Simon
Furman getting
the "inside scoop" on the Transformers, as well as for a certain
Freelance Peacekeeping Agent who would cross paths with them.
The US government
(plus the UK and Japanese governments) would have to
deal with the
Transformers many times. Unlike in the cartoon or
comic, the
Autobot and Decepticon starships/main bases were not easy
to find. In fact
the Autobots and Decepticons had many bases and
several hidden
teams around the globe. They stayed behind whenever
the main Autobot
and Decepticon forces left Earth for any reason,
such as they did
between 1985-mid1990. The reason for that was the
menace of Unicron
and being brought together by Primus. The transformers also found the Sarmaks
and the two races
searched their
historical records and rediscovered the other. The
Sarmaks tried to
reclaim their "property". The Cybertronians set
aside their
differences to wage war on a common enemy. When the
Sarmaks appeared
to be destroyed (or perhaps retreated, it is
unknown), the war
started up again.
During 1985- to
mid1990 the hidden troops with the Pretender
technology gave
what limited information they had on what the rest of
their race was
doing. This was why the stories about the
Transformers got
even stranger, as Marvel, Sunbow and Hasbro were
left to their own
devices more and more.
However during that time there was an altered and inflated war between some of the Autobot Pretenders and the monstrous Decepticon Pretenders. It was less a war then a few battles. It is unknown if an energy being called “Devil Z” had anything to do with those battles. It is known however that the Decepticons did come across notes and devices to make Frankenstein like monsters out of dead humans. Those were the zombies that the Autobot Pretenders battled. The cartoon that was made to fictionalize the battles included several anime elements were added on and the Pretenders were shoved into the background.
In late 1990 the
Transformers returned to Earth. The transformers
toys were ended
and in 1992 were revamped to Transformers Generation
2. There was no
change in the Transformers or their symbols, it was
just something
Hasbro did. Years later Hasbro somehow found out
about a time
travel war the Transformers had, called the Beast Wars.
No one knows
exactly who this source is but he is thought to be a
doctor.
Even today the
Transformers war rages, with no end in sight. Yet if
the future of the
Maximals and Predacons takes place, there will be
one.
