'''[[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]]''' gots lots of toys!

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
[[Image:Bumblebeeg1toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|No, not Herbie.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1984~1986)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''11''', '''C-56'''

: Bumblebee's original toy, released in 1984 and in Japan in 1985, originally hails from the ''[[Microman|Microchange]]'' series, transforming into a "penny-racer"-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. He was available through the first three years of the ''Transformers'' series, the entire duration of the [[Mini Vehicle]] assortment, the only 1984 Mini Vehicle to do so. (This is also why he has two ID numbers in Japan; in 1986, the line switched from a single-series number listing to splitting it up between "C" (Cybertron/Autobot) and "D" (Destron/Decepticon) groupings.)

: 'Bee has a lot of minor variations. Throughout 1984 and 1985, Bumblebee was produced in both yellow and red (as was [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]]), a move meant to "make the line look bigger" according to former [[Hasbro]] R&D Vice President [[George Dunsay]].<ref name="dunsay">[http://www.tfarchive.com/fandom/interviews/george_dunsay/george_dunsay_interview.php Interview with George Dunsay at TFArchive.com]</ref> For his 1984 release, both color versions had an Autobot sigil on the roof/chest. In 1985, this was replaced by a [[rubsign]]. The rubsign remained on the 1986 release, though he was only released in yellow that year.

: Packaging-wise, there are several more variations. In 1984, the Mini Vehicles were packaged in vehicle mode. Come 1985, a picture of the toy in vehicle mode was added to the front of the card, and ''later'' the toys proper were packaged in robot mode. From this point on, the Mini Vehicles were also part of two different pack-in promotions; the [[Mini-spy|Mini-Spies]] and iron-on reflective patches.

: Bumblebee was released in a wide variety of colors in markets south of the border. In Mexico, both a blue version and a recently-discovered white version with a red face were released.

: This mold was later [[retool]]ed into a [[#Keychain|keychain version of Bumblebee]], as well as for a [[#TFCollection|''Transformers Collection'' multipack]] (see below).

: The original mold is also used by the [[Optimus (faction)|Optimus-faction]] [[Volks (G1)|Volks]]. Later [[retool]]ings of this mold were used to make [[Glyph (G1)#Toys|Glyph]] and [[Bug Bite (G1)#Toys|Bug Bite]].

[[Image:G1toy_silver_volks.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
*'''Volks''' (Robocar, 1985)

:Bumblebee was released in Brazil by [[Estrela]] in 1985 as the Robocar "Volks", initially available in two color schemes: his original yellow and black, and slick-looking silver and black with a gold face, both decorated with a new thin tech-detailing sticker on their chests. Later, Estrela released red and orange versions of Volks sporting the new "[[Optimus (faction)|Optimus]]" faction insignia; given this new factional alignment, for the purposes of this wiki, the Optimus-aligned Volks is considered a [[Volks (G1)|separate character]] from Bumblebee. As such, whether the earlier yellow and silver Volks toys should be considered versions of Bumblebee or versions of this different character, could be debated endlessly.

::*''[http://www.tf-1.com/articles/mini_frame.php?art=silverbee More information on Silver Bumblebee/Volks at TF-1.com]''
{{-}}{{anchor|Antex}}
[[Image:AntexVolks.jpg|thumb|300px|]]
*'''Volks''' (Robocar, 1985)

:The aforementioned red and orange versions of Volks were released in Argentina by [[Antex]] in 1985; the toys' cardback depicts the original silver version as well, but it is believed this was merely photography of an Estrela toy, and that the silver figure was never sold in Argentina. As these releases of Volks lack the "Optimus" faction sticker, instead bearing the earlier thin tech-detail decal, the question can be again raised over whether or not they represent the Optimus-aligned Volks, or the original Bumblebee. Whatever the case, these versions have much higher availability on the secondary market over their Estrela predecessors.

{{-}}{{anchor|Goldbug}}
[[Image:Goldbugg1toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Older, squatter, faster.]]
*'''Goldbug''' (Throttlebot, 1987)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-97'''

: The [[Throttlebot]] Goldbug was released in 1987, and like the other Throttlebots, he has a pull-back motor and a simple transformation. The vehicle mode was not designed to look like a penny racer, as the original toy was, so its variation on the Volkswagen Beetle was much more realistically-proportioned. Though the other Throttlebots seem to have always been intended to be new characters, Goldbug's head was based directly on that of Bumblebee's original toy. Bumblebee was the second Transformer to be given a second toy (as both [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] and Rodimus Prime had been released the year previous).

:This toy was reissued in Europe in 1991 as part of the [[Classics (Europe)|Classics]] reissues, along with the rest of the Throttlebots. The toy was [[Retool|retooled]] to remove the [[rubsign]] indent, the heat-sensitive decal proper replaced with a glossy-paper faction symbol.

: This toy could also represent the [[IDW Generation 1 continuity]] [[Goldbug (IDW)|Goldbug]], assuming he ever got an Earth mode.

[[Image:G1toy pretender bumblebee.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Pretender, 1989)
**''Accessories'': Pretender shell, helmet, large "sonic blaster" rifle, small "laser pistol"

: As part of the sixth year of Generation 1, Bumblebee was released as a "[[Classic Pretender]]", expanding the range of [[Pretender]]s toys. This version of Bumblebee is still a Volkswagen Beetle, once again more realistically proportioned, but now has what look like off-road tires. He came with a gun for his robot mode that could be mounted on his roof and another gun for his human shell. Oddly, the robot's head is modeled after [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper's]] toy head.

{{anchor|G1Legend}}
*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends, 1989)
**''Accessories'': "Laser pistol"

: The inner robot to Pretender Classics Bumblebee was sold without the shell as a [[Kmart]] [[exclusive]] [[Legends (G1)|Legends]] figure, but with the inner-robot gun to his teammate [[Jazz (G1)/toys#G1Legend|Jazz]], who had Bumblebee's small gun in exchange.

{{-}}{{anchor|Hero Set}}
[[Image:G1toy japanese legends giftset.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
*'''Hero Set''' (Multi-pack, 1989)
**''Accessories:'' "Laser pistol"

: In Japan, Legends Bumblebee was only available in a boxed "Hero Set" with the Legends versions of [[Jazz (G1)/toys#G1Legend|Jazz]], [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#G1Legend|Grimlock]] and [[Starscream (G1)/toys#G1Legend|Starscream]]. Bumblebee was identical to the Hasbro release.

: In Italy, [[GiG]] released their own version of the Hero Set, named "Set Commandos", instead of the Classic Pretender versions of the toys. Bumblebee was given the name "Saetta", which was originally the Italian name of [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]. The "Set Commandos" toys were identical to the Japanese "Hero Set" versions.

{{-}}{{anchor|ActionMaster}}
[[Image:G1toy_action_master_bumblebee.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Action Master, 1990)
**''Accessories'': Heli-pack, "Astral Exploder Rifle"

: Part of the second wave of single-carded [[Action Master]] figures, Bumblebee is a non-transforming action figure that mixed cartoon model with toy-detail. He comes with his [[Heli-pack]] that transforms into a large "high-powered air rifle" with spring-loaded deploying barrel. Bumblebee and his Heli-pack are cross-compatible with any other Action Master figure, vehicle or accessory; plus the hole in his back is compatible with [[5mm post]]s.

: This release makes Bumblebee the only character to have a toy of ''some'' kind available during the entire original ''[[The Transformers (toyline)|Transformers]]'' production run (from 1984-1990).

{{-}}{{anchor|Keychain}}
[[Image:G1toy_bumblebee_keychain.jpg‎|right|thumb|300px]]
* '''Bumblebee''' (Keychain, 2001/2003/2007)

: Bumblebee was reissued as a keychain by [[Fun4All]] under license from [[Hasbro]] in the US in 2001. Along with having its rear bumper [[retool]]ed to accommodate the chain, the keychain form lacked the "Dunlop" text on the tires. The toy also returned to its original sticker set-up, doing away with the rubsign and restored the Autobot symbol on his chest. Hasbro made the figure available again in 2007, this time under the "[[Heroes of Cybertron]]" banner.

: In Japan, all four Mini-Bot keychains were released in Japan in 2003 as [[7-Eleven]] [[exclusive]]s. Each of the keychains also had black "[[Chase figure|chase]]" versions.

: This mold was also used to make [[Glyph (G1)#Toys|Glyph]].

===Generation 2===
[[Image:G2Bumblebee Minicar toy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|A gold bug, but not Goldbug.]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Mini Vehicle, 1993)

: Bumblebee's first ''[[Transformers: Generation 2 (toyline)|Generation 2]]'' toy was a [[redeco]] of his original toy, transforming into a "Penny Racer"-proportioned Volkswagen Beetle. However, this version has yellow chrome on the previously matte-yellow plastics. Thankfully, there seems to be few to no reports of chrome flaking on any of the ''Generation 2'' Mini Vehicles.

:The figure pictured here features a G1 Autobot [[Insignia]] on his chest/roof, but this is nonstandard. The figure as released featured a bare chest/roof. The only symbol on the figure is the G2 Autobot Insignia stamped on the bottom of his foot followed by the word Autobot.

[[Image:G2toy_gobot_bumblebee.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Go-Bot, 1995)
**''Accessories'': Rifle

: Bumblebee's second release in the ''Generation 2'' line was as a recolor of the [[Go-Bot (G2)|Go-Bot]] [[High Beam]], transforming into a concept race car with exposed rear engine. He features through-axle construction for incredibly fast zipping on flat, smooth surfaces, and is compatible with many tracks and playsets from ''Hot Wheels'' and ''Matchbox''.

: This mold was also used to make ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Crosswise (RID)#Toys|Crosswise]] and [[Nightracer]].

===Smallest Transforming Transformers===
[[Image:Smallest transforming bumblebee.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
*'''Bumble''' (2003)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GTF 04'''

: Not much more than an inch tall, ''[[Smallest Transforming Transformers]]'' Bumblebee is a scaled-down version of his original toy, retaining the larger figure's transformation scheme but losing its rolling wheels by sheer necessity of size. Bumblebee was sold as part of the line's first wave, and like all the figures, came [[blindpacking|blindpacked]].

::*''[http://tfu.info/2003/Cybertron/SmallestBumblebee/bumblebee.htm More information on Smallest Bumblebee at TFU.info]''

{{anchor|SmallestRed}}
*'''Bumble (Red)''' (2003)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GTF X-2'''

:Bumblebee also came in red! A red variant of the toy was one of two [[chase figure]]s sold in the first ''Smallest Transforming Transformers'' wave.

===Transformers Collection===

[[Image:G1toy_reissue_bumblebee.jpg|right|thumb|300px]]
* '''Minibot Team Set''' (6-pack, 2004)
** ''Japanese ID number'': '''12'''

: Bumblebee was again reissued in Japan as part of ''[[The Transformers Collection]]'' "bookbox" series in a six-toy multi-pack, with [[Huffer (G1)#Toys|Huffer]], [[Cosmos (G1)#Toys|Cosmos]], [[Gears (G1)#Toys|Gears]], [[Powerglide (G1)#Toys|Powerglide]] and [[Warpath (G1)#Toys|Warpath]]. This time around, Bumblebee was [[retool]]ed to have a new [[Show-accuracy|cartoon-accurate]] head. Additionally, this version of the figure gave Bumblebee both an Autobot symbol ''and'' a rubsign, keeping the former in its traditional placement on his chest, and relocating the rubsign to the back of his head, replacing the original tech-detailing sticker that had previously been there.

: The entire set was redecoed to make the [[G1 GoBots|"G1 GoBots"]] set; this version of Bumblebee became [[Bug Bite (G1)#Toys|Bug Bite]].

===Alternators===
[[Image:AlternatorsBumblebeeDesign.jpg|thumb|300px|]]

: One of the earliest proposals in the ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators/Binaltech]]'' line was for Bumblebee as a Volkswagen New Beetle, with [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] as the redeco. Unfortunately, VW evidently did not want to be associated with "war toys", and therefore the design never made it past the control drawing stage. Control drawings for both Bumblebee and Cliffjumper have been published in the Japanese ''[[The Transformers: Binaltech & TF Collection Complete Guide]]'' book. The design did, however, end up appearing fictionally as Bumblebee's form in the ''[[Descent into Evil]]'' comic.

===Titanium Series===

*''' ''War Within'' Bumblebee''' (Cybertron Hero, unreleased)
**''Accessories:'' Unknown, likely display stand

:Prior to the line's cancellation, a 6-inch resin copy depicting a transformable Bumblebee was seen at [[BotCon 2006]]. His alternate mode was the saucer-like car seen the Dreamwave's ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]'' (which was itself based on the first cartoon appearance of Bumblebee). An alternate head of Cliffjumper was seen as well, indicating a retool. Unfortunately these never made it into production.

===Classics===
[[Image:Bumblebeeclassicstoy.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Flight-enhancement buddy #2]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Deluxe, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' Wave Crusher trailer/backpack

: The Deluxe ''[[Transformers: Classics|Classics]]'' Bumblebee transforms into a yellow hatchback sports car (labeled as a "cruiser" on the package) that's basically Hasbro's typical cross between several existing car models: The general shape of the car is based on a heavily customized one-of-a-kind 1992-1995 [[Wikipedia:Honda Civic (fifth generation)|fifth generation Honda Civic hatchback]] with lots of aftermarket "ricer" add-ons (such as a large front bumper, large fenders and a large rear wing).<ref name="ricercivic">[http://www.tuningfever.fr/fr/pics/gal-1596-stephan/pic-33883-honda-civic.php Photos of a "ricer" 1992-1995 Honda Civic], photos taken from an eBay auction posted before September 2005.</ref> The front section takes some design cues from various models of the [[Wikipedia:Subaru Impreza WRX|Subaru Impreza WRX]], namely the hood vent present on all models, the front grille of the 2004-05 WRX and the headlights and the midsection of the front bumper from the 2006-07 WRX STi.<ref name="wrxsti06">[http://www.insideline.com/subaru/impreza-wrx/2006/first-drive-2006-subaru-impreza-wrx-and-wrx-sti.html 2006-2007 Subaru WRX STi], officially unveiled in September 2005.</ref> The shape of the rear fenders is also vaguely inspired by the [[Wikipedia:Volkswagen New Beetle|Volkswagen New Beetle]].

: Bumblebee comes with a single accessory, a jet ski called "[[Wave Crusher]]" on a trailer. This is a bit similar than his Action Master toy's transforming heli-pack. His robot mode is designed to look like a typical teenager, dressed in a hoodie with pockets and wearing big chunky trainers<ref>[http://pingmag.jp/2007/06/29/transformers/ Interview] with [[Alex Kubalsky]]</ref>. He is articulated with ball joints at the head, shoulders, elbows, hips, and has hinge knees. Wave Crusher converts into a jet pack that mounts onto his back.

: Later versions [[retool]]ed the area the [[rubsign]] rests on to be larger.

: This retooled version of this mold was also used to make ''Classics'' [[Bug Bite (G1)|Bug Bite]] and [[Cliffjumper (G1)#Classics|Cliffjumper]].

**''Accessories:'' Wave Crusher trailer/backpack

:A [[Walmart]] [[exclusive]] three pack, the ''Legacy of Bumblebee'' collector's set comes with [[#Classics|''Classics'']], [[Premium Series]] [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#Premium|live-action movie]], and ''[[Transformers Animated (franchise)|Animated]]'' [[Bumblebee (Animated)#Toys|Bumblebee]] figures. While the ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' Bumblebees are identical to their original, single carded releases, the ''Classics'' Bumblebee has been redecoed to more closely resemble his ''Movie'' and ''Animated'' counterparts, changing his white stripes to black, and his grey/silver plastic to yellow, similarly to ''Henkei! Henkei!'' Bumble (see immediately below).

:This three-pack was available in ''Movie'' style packaging.

*'''Bumble''' (Deluxe, 2008)
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''C-03'''
**''Accessories:'' Wave Crusher trailer/backpack

:''[[Henkei! Henkei! Transformers (toyline)|Henkei! Henkei!]]'' Bumblebee is a redeco of [[#Classics|''Classics'' Bumblebee.]] Bumblebee swaps some of his black plastic for dark gray, and his light gray plastic for yellow. His yellow plastic is almost entirely covered in yellow paint to deal with the common problem of yellow plastic being near-translucent against darker plastics and the inconsistency between bare plastic parts and painted clear parts. His eyes are painted blue despite being molded in translucent plastic. As with all ''Henkei'' toys, he lacks the ''Classics'' heat-sensitive rubsign, but has some [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum-metallized]] parts: his hood-mounted scoop and his spoiler.

: This mold was also used to make ''Classics'' [[Bug Bite (G1)|Bug Bite]] and [[Cliffjumper (G1)#Classics|Cliffjumper]].

*'''Bumblebee''' (Legends, 2008)

:''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 toyline)|Universe]]'' Legends class Bumblebee has a vehicle mode that is something of an amalgamation of the vehicle forms recent Bumblebees have adopted. While he forms a modern hatchback like the ''Classics'' Bumblebee and ''Animated'' Bumblebee toys, the more aggressive design with large flared wheel arches, and small windows evoke the look of the [[Transformers (film)|live-action movie]] version of [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]]. He transforms similarly to, but not exactly as, his [[#Generation 1|Generation 1 toy]].

:This mold was redecoed into ''Henkei! Henkei!'' [[Cliffjumper (G1)#Henkei! Henkei!|Cliffjumper]], [[#Transformers (2010)|''Transformers'' "Gold Bumblebee"]], and ''[[Transformers: Dark of the Moon (toyline)|Dark of the Moon]]'' Cybertronian [[Bumblebee (Movie)/toys#BeeStarscream|Bumblebee]] from the Bumblebee/Starscream [[Cyberverse]] four-pack.

**''ID number'': '''UN02'''
**''Accessories'': "Energy gun"

: Part of the first wave of ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' product, Bumblebee is a [[redeco]] of the [[Bumblebee (Prime)#Toys|''War for Cybertron'' Bumblebee toy]], transforming into a "[[Cybertronian courier]]." He comes with a handgun and features two wrist-mounted flip-out blades. The handgun can be stored inside his rear bumper in either robot or vehicle mode.

:TakaraTomy's release features an extensive metallic paint job on the car mode panels as well as some of the robot's parts (such as the head and forearms). In addition to some painted detail differences from the Hasbro release, United Bumblebee features a lighter gray as well as a brighter pink than the Hasbro version.

**''ID number:'' '''UN07'''
**''Accessories:'' Wave Crusher trailer/backpack

:Another redeco of the ''Classics'' Deluxe toy, ''United'' Bumblebee is painted mainly in chromed golden yellow with silver bumpers. He was sold alongside his Cybertron Mode (see above) in the first assortment of ''United'' product.

:While very similar in appearance, this version of Bumblebee is cast in a lighter yellow plastic than the Henkei release, with most of his car mode parts (along with his robot mode head and forearms) painted over in gold. As noted above, he also features a silver front bumper and other painted details different from his previous TakaraTomy release.

:Unfortunately, because he is packaged in robot mode and his vehicle shell is entirely coated in paint, quite a number of Bumblebees have the gold paint between their jointed leg/hood panels and feet scratched off ''out of the box'', resulting in ugly scored lines on the hood in vehicle mode.

:Non-poseable, non-transforming figurines of Bumblebee and three of his Mini-Vehicle chums (Cliffjumper, [[Gears (G1)|Gears]] and [[Brawn (G1)|Brawn]]) comprised the very first line of Transformers [[List of Transformers restaurant promotions|Happy Meal toys]], but alas, the figures did not see a full release, and were only test-marketed in St. Louis, Missouri. The two-tone figures were available in a variety of colour variations, with at least six different combinations for each of the four characters: Bumblebee is known to have been available in blue and red, red and black, green and black, blue and black, black and yellow, and black and red... yet not his traditional yellow and black!

Alternate mode

2012-06-06T19:17:07Z

205.213.97.34: /* Prime cartoon */

An '''alternate mode''' (commonly shortened to "'''altmode'''," "'''alt mode'''," or "'''alt-mode'''," also known as a '''"trans-form"''', a '''"transform"''' or a '''"changeform"''') is a term used to describe a Transformer's non-robot form, whether it be vehicle, animal, or otherwise. Various, more specific, terms are also sometimes used—vehicle mode, gun mode, tank mode, etc.

Some Transformers don't have a humanoid form, so in those special cases, the altmode is perceived to be the mode which is more geared towards utility or disguise while their [[robot mode]] is the one geared more towards interaction with other Transformers. For example, for the G1 characters [[Laserbeak (G1)|Laserbeak]] and [[Ravage (G1)|Ravage]], their animal forms are their primary mode, and the cassettes their alternate modes. Even [[Grand Slam (G1)|Grand Slam]] and [[Raindance]], who transform from cassettes to vehicles, would be thought of as having a cassette alternate mode, as their vehicle forms—while not humanoid or animalistic—are at least self-mobile.

Transformers with more than two modes are usually considered to have multiple altmodes. ([[Punch (G1)|Punch/Counterpunch]] on the other hand has one altmode and two robot modes.)

In the cartoon episode "[[The Killing Jar]]," the Quintesson scientist refers to the Quintesson guard's transformation as his alternate mode, the first such use of this term in the official fiction.

The earliest recorded use in the fandom of the shortened term "alt mode" is an [[alt.toys.transformers]] post from March 1994.<ref>[http://groups.google.com/group/alt.toys.transformers/msg/dcddbf79b470731c alt.toys.transformers, Fanfic: GoTP Plot Blurb!]</ref> From the context, it appears that the term was already understood by fans at that time, as the post's author does not explain what he means.

==Beast mode==
{{main|Beast mode}}

==Fiction==
When a Transformer takes on an alternate mode for the purpose of disguise, they are ''mimicking'' that form, they don't actually ''become'' what that form represents. They are "robots in disguise". To accomplish this, they physically alter their forms, and when necessary, use [[hologram]]s to help maintain the disguise illusion, especially when battle damage or lack of a driver might otherwise give them away.<ref>This is true across all [[continuity|continuities]]. [[Hasbro Q&A/August 2009: Answers]].</ref>

Transformers rarely had alternate modes when they first arrived on Earth and would scan a new mode, usually from [[William Fowler|whatever vehicles were nearby]]. [[Megatron (Prime)|Megatron]] retained his [[Cybertronian alternate mode]].

AllSpark

205.213.97.34: /* IDW pre-movie comics */

{{disambig3|Allspark}}
{{featured}}
[[Image:Movie and animated allsparks.jpg|right|thumb|400px]]
Although its physical form differs across the [[universal stream]]s in which it appears, the powers and history of the '''AllSpark''' remain common across the [[multiverse]]: It is one of the fabled [[sacred implement]]s, the objects capable of [[Allspark|creating]] new [[Transformer]] [[Spark|life]]. Its origins are unknown, lost to the distant past, sometimes predating even [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] itself, but it often gives the impression that it possesses a consciousness of some kind and is either working towards a cosmic plan of its own divining, or is carrying out the will of a [[Primus|higher power]]. In truth, the physical AllSpark is but a shell to contain the incredible life-giving energies within; should that shell be destroyed, the energies will remain, as potent as ever, merely waiting for a new vessel to inhabit. Any fragments that would remain in the event of the AllSpark's physical destruction would still possess all of the incredible power that the original object did.

The AllSpark's power has long been coveted by the [[Decepticon]]s, ultimately requiring the [[Autobot]]s to launch it into the depths of space, putting it beyond the reach of any Cybertronian.

==Fiction==
===Live-action movie universe===
[[Image:Allspark movie.jpg|left|250px|thumb|It will tear your soul apart.]]
In this [[continuity family|universal cluster]], the AllSpark takes the form of a large, metallic cube inscribed with [[Cyberglyphics]]. Sources say it was created by a nameless power for a reason, but that reason is as yet unknown... <ref>[http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/en_GB/play/details.cfm?R=841A4DEF-19B9-F369-104F-C8D8DEC0C2CE:en_GB Hasbro timeline]</ref>

====IDW pre-movie comics====
[[Image:Defiance4 allspark creates primes.jpg|right|thumb]]
The AllSpark was responsible for creating the planet Cybertron and the first entities that inhabited it, a race of massively powerful trans-dimensional beings that became known as the [[Dynasty of Primes]]. The AllSpark sustained the planet and the Primes through its continuous generation of [[Energon]], but the Primes needed more energy sources than just the AllSpark. The answer came when a nearby star went nova, the released energy radiated throughout Cybertron. The Primes knew that more stars would have to be found for sacrifices in the future, and the AllSpark responded to their need by creating the Transformers, a new race of shape-changing robots to serve the Dynasty: [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seekers]] to search for suitable stars, and [[Constructicon (ROTF)|Constructicons]] to build massive [[Star Harvester]]s to take the energy of those suns. Knowing the destructive capabilities of these harvesters, the Dynasty tempered their search with the rule to never destroy a star with a life-bearing world. The AllSpark then formed a key to activate the harvesters, the [[Matrix of Leadership]], which the Dynasty protected. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} In time, however, one of the Primes began to believe the AllSpark was talking to him, that it had chosen him as its acolyte. He began destroying inhabited solar systems to power the AllSpark and grew frustrated with the Dynasty's restrictions, constructing a star harvester on [[Earth|a primitive world]] on order to draw the other Dynasty into a trap, that he might kill them all. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 4|Tales of the Fallen #4}} Only [[Prima|one Prime]] survived the slaughter, imprisoning the rogue Prime—forever after known as [[The Fallen]]—in his [[sarcophagus]], before then hiding the Matrix away in a tomb made of the bodies of the dead Primes, giving his life to seal it. {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 3|Revenge of the Fallen #3}}

[[Image:Defiance 1 Simfur temple.jpg|thumb|265px|left|Wait, is it smaller?]]

As the millennia rolled by, the Transformers would form a new society, and the tales of the Primes and the AllSpark would slip into legend. The cube itself was forgotten, lost beneath the surface of the planet, and without a supply of energy regularly being harvested for it, Cybertron's energy began to diminish, leading to factionalization and tribal warfare amongst the Transformers. Eventually, one of the Primes' descendants, [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]], gathered a small group of loyal followers, including [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]] and [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]], and together, they scoured the depths of Cybertron for the cube. The AllSpark was discovered beneath the city of [[Simfur]] and unearthed, prompting an attack by Sentinel's most violent opponents, the [[Thetacon (tribe)|Thetacons]]. During the battle, technical genius [[Wheeljack (Movie)|Wheeljack]] used a device to warp space and time, teleporting a sun from across the galaxy into Cybertronic space. Rather than sacrifice the sun as the legends claimed was required, however, Sentinel gambled that mere proximity to the star would be enough for the cube to re-energize itself... and he was correct. The AllSpark was revitalized, and new life flooded into Cybertron as hostilities came to an end in the face of the truth that Sentinel had been right all along. The Thetacons constructed a [[Simfur Temple|temple]] around the AllSpark, as a way of making amends for their aggression. {{storylink|Foundation issue 1|Foundation #1}}

Evidently, the Transformers declined to plumb the depths of the AllSpark's knowledge; it was said to contain the only recorded history of Cybertron, but to the Transformers, the AllSpark was the source of life, and that was all that mattered. Some time later, by which point leadership of Cybertron had shifted to an uneasy joint rulership between Optimus and Megatron, the Simfur Temple had come to be guarded by [[Bumblebee (Movie)|Bumblebee]] and [[Cliffjumper (Movie)|Cliffjumper]]. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}} Peace on Cybertron ended when the Fallen's sarcophagus was unearthed by an archaeological dig, causing the AllSpark to give off pulses, attracting the attention of a hostile [[Ejoornian|alien species]] from the [[Eshems Nebula]] who attacked Cybertron. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1|Defiance #1}} The Fallen began communicating with Megatron, and tempted him to seize the power of the AllSpark, leading him to go rogue with his own army, the Decepticons {{storylink|Defiance issue 3}} Optimus, now dubbed Optimus [[Prime (rank)|Prime]] following the discovery that he was connected to the Dynasty of Primes, formed his own army of Autobots to counter Megatron. In the war that followed, Cybertron was decimated, and eventually Optimus was forced to capture the AllSpark to keep it out of enemy hands. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}}

[[Image:Movieprequel2_allspark_submerged.jpg|right|100px|thumb]]

Eventually, Prime made the decision to launch the AllSpark blindly into space to put it beyond Megatron's reach. At Optimus Prime's orders, Bumblebee and a group of Autobots served as decoys, drawing the Decepticons to [[Tyger Pax]], far enough away from the artifact's true location to buy Prime the time needed to prepare the launch. Megatron witnessed the launch from afar, and immediately took off after the cube, pursuing it across the galaxy for thousands of years. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}}

Once launched into space, the AllSpark automatically sought out the location of a harvester, and made its way to Earth, where the Fallen had constructed one thousands of years beforehand. {{storylink|Defiance issue 4}} The cube landed in the region of the planet that would eventually become [[Nevada]] around 10,000 BC; Megatron successfully tracked the cube to Earth, but wound up crashing in the [[Arctic]] and freezing solid for hundreds of years, to be eventually discovered in [[1897]] by Captain [[Archibald Witwicky]]. Four years later, in [[1902]], the government operatives tasked to investigating this frozen "Mega-Man" discovered the AllSpark in the [[Colorado River]]. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 2|Movie Prequel #2}} Metallurgist [[Lou Hoover]] and her husband [[Herbert Hoover|Herbert]] were called in by the government to examine the cube, but it would take over a decade before Herbert was able to orchestrate the diversion of the river so the cube could be excavated. The excavation of the AllSpark took place in [[1913]], but was interrupted by the arrival of the Seeker [[Jetfire (ROTF)|Jetfire]], who had been stranded on Earth thousands of years ago. Jetfire accidentally triggered a discharge of Energon from the cube which brought a collection of machines to life, and the Hoovers were forced to break open the floodgates and allow the river to "drown" the creatures and submerge the cube once more. Herbert subsequently ran for [[President of the United States]] and won, orchestrating the construction of the [[Hoover Dam]] in the area to serve as a new, more durable and permanent housing for the AllSpark. {{storylink|Irreplaceable|Irreplaceable}}

[[Image:UKmoviecomic1 allspark launched.jpg|left|150px|thumb]]

While Bumblebee's team distracted Megatron, Optimus Prime himself had to press the fatal button that would launch the AllSpark into space. While he was struggling with the decision at the last moment, fearing the potential slow death he would be condemning Cybertron to if he carried through with his plans, an alarm alerted Prime to the attack of a drone that had been specifically sent to destroy him. Instructing his assistant [[Arctus]] to launch the AllSpark if he did not return in ten [[Units of time|cycles]], Prime headed out to battle the drone, but the fight only wound up carrying them back into the AllSpark's chamber. To destroy the drone, Prime transformed to his cometary [[protoform]] mode and smashed clean through it, rendering himself unconscious in the process. When Prime awoke, he looked up to see the AllSpark rocketing away into space. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 1|Prelude: Optimus Prime}}

[[Image:UKmoviecomic2 alkaris anomaly.jpg|right|thumb|225px]]

The AllSpark had not been cast blindly into the sea of stars, however: It had, in fact, been launched directly towards the [[Alkaris Anomaly]], a wormhole that could potentially transport the cube to an infinite number of locations in the universe. Briefly delayed by an Autobot tractor beam, Megatron could not stop the cube from entering the wormhole, and instead chose to follow it into the anomaly. While the AllSpark was disgorged somewhere in the vicinity of the Sol system, to eventually crash on Earth, Megatron was deposited by the wormhole in some other, far off star system, leaving him to hunt for the Cube through the endless reaches of space. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2|Prelude: Megatron}}

Later on, a space-travelling [[Ironhide (Movie)|Ironhide]] would be captured by an alien craft—its inhabitants appeared to be immense entities that claimed the All Spark had been stolen from them, and did a psychic probe of Ironhide. They turned out to be "[[:Image:Titan5_digitalghosts.JPG|electrical ghosts]]", a digital imprint from another time kept alive by the photon-rich atmosphere; the ship was a derelict, salvaged by another (rather feeble) alien race that had been using these ghosts as a front.

[[Image:Movie All Spark Hoover Dam.JPG|left|275px|thumb|The true power behind Ernő Rubik's success.]]

[[Sector Seven]] agent [[Seymour Simmons]] explained that the AllSpark was found in 1913, 16 years after the [[Non-Biological Extraterrestrial|N.B.E.]]-01 "[[Megatron (Movie)|Iceman]]" was found, though carbon dating tests indicated that Cube landed on Earth some twelve thousand years earlier. The [[Cybertronian languages|glyphs]] on the Cube were similar to the ones on the Iceman, indicating a link between the two. In order to hide the cube's energy signature from other humans and, potentially, from other N.B.E.s, the [[President of the United States|President]] had the [[Hoover Dam]] built around it. The Iceman was also moved to the dam for further study. It was eventually determined that the Cube emitted a radiation which could [[AllSpark Mutation|bring mechanical devices to life]].

[[Image:Movie2007 Bumblebee AllSpark.jpg|right|thumb|275px| The Allspark Cube will never threaten to stab you and in fact, cannot speak.]]

Without the AllSpark, Cybertron itself began to atrophy, becoming an uninhabitable world. The Autobots and Decepticons abandoned their planet and took to the stars, searching for the lost AllSpark, the Autobots hoping to use its power to restore their dead homeworld, the Decepticon seeking its power to animate the machines of other planets to build an army. Bumblebee succeeded in tracking the cube to Earth, and the rest of the Autobots arrived there in 2007, and allied themselves with Captain Witwicky's great-grandson, [[Sam Witwicky]]. Together, they traced the cube to its hiding place in the Hoover Dam, inadvertently revealing its location to the Decepticon spy [[Frenzy (Movie)|Frenzy]], who summoned the other Decepticons and deactivated the systems keeping Megatron in cryo-stasis, bringing him back online. To get the AllSpark to safety, Bumblebee interacted with the cube and somehow prompted it to collapse from an enormous monolith into a object less than half a meter across, and accordingly lesser in mass as well as volume.
[[Image:Megatron allspark merge.JPG|left|275px|thumb|More fibers and less All Spark in your diet prevent Spark attack.]]

The AllSpark was quickly taken to nearby [[Mission City]], where Sam was instructed to take it to the top of the highest building for evac. Stumbling as he ran, Sam fell and struck the AllSpark on the ground, causing it to release a wave of [[energon radiation]] which brought [[Dispensor|several]] [[Xbox 360 robot|nearby]] [[steering wheel robot|machines]] to life. Upon reaching the top of the building, Sam was confronted by Megatron, but refused to turn the cube over to him, and was sent toppling from the building. Optimus Prime came to his rescue, and during the battle that followed between Prime and Megatron, the Autobot leader told Sam to merge the AllSpark with his [[spark]] in order to destroy it. However, Sam instead merged it with Megatron's spark, destroying both the Decepticon leader and the AllSpark. Only a single fragment of the cube appeared to remain, which Prime plucked from Megatron's dead body.

Without the AllSpark, the Autobots had no means to restore their homeworld, and so elected to remain on Earth. Prime sent a message to inform the surviving Autobots of their new found home. {{storylink|Transformers (film)|Transformers}}

Immediately after the end of the clash in Mission City, the battle's sole Decepticon survivor, [[Starscream (Movie)|Starscream]], set upon the collection of machines that the All Spark had brought to life during the chaos. From each of them, he plucked the spark of life that the All Spark had granted them, which took the form of small red cubes like the All Spark itself. By placing them into the bodies of his fallen Decepticon comrades, Starscream reanimated them as a kind of robotic [[zombie]] and sent them against the recuperating Autobots. [[Ratchet (Movie)|Ratchet]] was able to deduce what was powering the undead Decepticons, and instructed his allies to target the All Spark energy signatures in their bodies, thereby allowing them to destroy them again. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 7|Starscream's Militia}}

[[Image:UKmoviecomic16 salvaged fragment.jpg|left|thumb]]

After defeating Optimus Prime, Megatron killed Sam Witwicky and claimed the All Spark, bonding himself to it and gaining the ability to channel its power. The cube was installed at a base in Savannah, [[Georgia]], where Megatron began using it to [[Eco-structuring|transform]] Earth into a new Cybertron. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 9|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 1}} Megatron placed Optimus Prime in cryo-stasis, but Bumblebee and [[Mikaela Banes]] freed him, and the two leaders battled, with Megatron's ability to channel the energy from the All Spark allowing him to heal any wound Prime inflicted. Bumblebee saved the day when he hit Megatron with a nano-virus provided by Sector Seven that blocked the All Spark's energy, successfully killing him. At the same time as this fight went on, Ratchet and Ironhide penetrated the Georgia base, and Ratchet was forced to the All Spark in order to save the Earth. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 13|Twilight's Last Gleaming, Part: 5}} A fragment of the All Spark survived the explosion, which, due to the cube's very nature, could conceivably possess all the power of the original object. Fearing that Megatron's link to the All Spark could have corrupted it somehow, Optimus Prime assigned Ratchet as the shard's guardians, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 14|Aftermath Part 1}} but Ratchet could not resists trying to use the shard to revive [[Jazz (Movie)|Jazz]]—who was reborn as an amoral villain, proving the fragment had been indeed corrupted. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 16|Dark Spark}}

The Autobots were soon to discover that destroying the All Spark had not kept the Earth from danger: the planetary transformation process had reached the planet's core before it had been stopped, and the All Spark "infection" was now threatening to tear the planet apart. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 17|Return to Cybertron: Part 1}} Simultaneously, on the dying Cybertron, [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]] and his small band of Decepticons sent out a signal into deep space in the hope of contacting any entity related to the All Spark, and drawing it to Cybertron so it could revive the planet. [[Image:UKmoviecomic25 starscream allspark fragment.jpg|right|thumb|350px]] They succeeded; unfortunately, the entity they summoned was [[Unicron]], the Anti-Life. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 18|Return to Cybertron: Part 2}} After the Autobots helped stop Unicron, Stockade provided them with the [[Nucleon]] they need to negate the All Spark infection on Earth. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

Starscream discovered that Megatron still lived on in a form, having downloaded his consciousness into the module he had used to control the All Spark at the moment of his death. Starscream had absorbed this module into himself, and so wound up being "haunted" by Megatron, who cajoled and taunted him into placing the module and an All Spark fragment into Megatron's corpse, resurrecting him. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part Three}}

Following the Decepticons' defeat in Mission City, Starscream recovered the deactivated Frenzy from Hoover Dam in order to obtain the information the spy had amassed on the AllSpark from Sector Seven's database. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 2|The Reign of Starscream #2}} He beamed this data to Cybertron before returning there himself, where it was used to constructed a huge [[replica AllSpark]]. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 3|The Reign of Starscream #3}} Starscream sacrificed the lives of five Autobot prisoners of war to "jump-start" his new AllSpark, only to find that the construct simply... didn't work. Before Starscream could deduce the source of the problem, the Decepticons that had been following him turned on him for his failure, and the replica cube was destroyed by [[Arcee (Movie)|Arcee]]. {{storylink|The Reign of Starscream issue 5|The Reign of Starscream #5}}

A month after the events in Mission City, the Autobots went to a secret [[Sector Seven]] facility located in the [[Nevada]] desert to escort the remains of the deactivated Decepticons to their resting place in the [[Laurentian Abyss]]. When the AllSpark shard Prime had taken from Megatron's body pulsed with energy near the Decepticon leader's corpse, Optimus Prime feared the worst and handed it to [[Vine|Professor Vine]] for safekeeping. After the Autobots left, [[Seymour Simmons|Agent Simmons]] convinced Vine to take the shard into their underground facility, since to keep it in the open would only attract Decepticons, though Vine had misgivings considering the stasis-locked Decepticon [[Wreckage (Movie)|Wreckage]] was also in the same facility. Vine's fears were well-founded: as he and Simmons moved the shard into secure storage, its energy reactivated both the very angry Wreckage and Sector Seven's own [[Landmine (Movie)|L.M.-1 units]]. {{storylink|Alliance issue 2|Alliance #2}} After the attack, the AllSpark fragment was retrieved from the rubble by [[Salani]] and returned it to Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Alliance issue 3|Alliance #3}}

Eventually, the Autobots and the American military entered into a [[NEST|formal alliance]] to defend Earth, and the AllSpark fragment was stored in a bunker under their base on the island of [[Diego Garcia]]. {{Storylink|Alliance issue 3|Alliance #3}}
{{-}}

====''Revenge of the Fallen'' film====

[[Image:ROTF Reedman steals shard.jpg|thumb|right|275px|"You got a Piece of Heart!"]]
In 2009, Decepticon spymaster [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] discovered that the surviving AllSpark fragment was being kept on Diego Garcia after hacking into a communication broadcast between NEST and General [[Morshower]]. Soundwave dispatched [[Ravage (ROTF)|Ravage]] and [[Reedman]] to retrieve the fragment, and it was subsequently used by [[Scalpel (ROTF)|Scalpel]] to resurrect Megatron from the bottom of the Laurentian Abyss.

However, unbeknownst to anyone, the shard in NEST's custody was not the only surviving piece of the AllSpark. When Sam Witwicky began packing for [[Princeton University]], a sliver of the cube was revealed to have become embedded in his shirt during the battle of Mission City, and upon touching it, Sam's mind was flooded with Cyberglyphics. As The Fallen would go on to explain, the AllSpark cube itself was merely a vessel for the knowledge within, and Sam had absorbed that knowledge upon the cube's destruction, which was now released into his mind upon contact with its remains. [[Image:ROTF Sam Cube fragment.jpg|left|thumb|275px]] Sam dropped the sliver in shock, and it burned its way through his bedroom floor, falling into the kitchen below where it released a wave of Energon that brought the [[Appliancebot]]s to life. With this more immediate threat to deal with, Sam did not realize the full extent of what the AllSpark had done to his mind until his disastrous first day of class, during which he began uncontrollably babbling the specifics of the fantastic science of the Transformers to the shock and ridicule of his classmates and professor. He called upon Mikaela to bring the fragment to him, but no sooner had she arrived than Sam became targeted by the Decepticons, who desired the AllSpark knowledge in his brain to lead them to the hidden star harvester on Earth. Optimus Prime died saving Sam, and Sam, believing that the energy of the Matrix of Leadership could be used to resurrect Prime, sought out one of the Decepticon Seekers to translate the symbols he was seeing in hopes of finding a clue to its location. The Seeker they found was Jetfire, who was slumbering in the Smithsonian, and they used the AllSpark sliver to reactivate him. Although borderline senile, the ancient Seeker was able to translate the symbols Sam into a riddle that pointed the way to the Matrix's hiding place. {{Storylink|Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (film)|Revenge of the Fallen}}

{{note|Several further plot points centred on the AllSpark were present in the script for ''Revenge of the Fallen'', which were removed from the film itself but featured in the [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (novel)|novelization]] and IDW's [[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Official Movie Adaptation|comic book adaptation]] of the film. The knowledge of the AllSpark was responsible for getting Sam a scholarship to Princeton, having inadvertently increased his intelligence while it lay dormant in his mind. When Megatron killed Sam at the film's climax, the AllSpark's knowledge was transferred from Sam into to the Matrix of Leadership, effectively replacing the cube as its physical form (and essentially transforming it into an object much more like the traditional depiction of the Matrix in Transformers fiction). After the death of The Fallen, Optimus Prime recovered the Matrix, reclaiming the history of the Transformers.}}

====IDW post-''Revenge of the Fallen'' comics====

[[Image:Nefarious1 facsimile allspark.jpg|right|thumb|250px]]

Following the defeat of The Fallen, a new threat emerged to bedevil both Autobot and Decepticon alike: the [[Initiative]], a mysterious cabal headed by the Transformer-hating [[Carter Newell]]. The organization sought to recreate the AllSpark,although the other members of the Initiative board did not realize Carter's true reasons for doing so: having been crippled by a Decepticon Seeker named [[Fortress (ROTF)|Fortress]] in his youth, he now sought to exterminate the Transformers with their own technology. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 5|Nefarious #5}}

Recovering and reanimating the remains of the deceased Ravage, the Initiative placed the Decepticon under their control and had him liberate the appliancebots from [[Guantanamo Bay]]. {{storylink|Tales of the Fallen issue 5|Tales of the Fallen #5}} They drained the AllSpark energy from their bodies in order to feed the artificial AllSpark construct they had created at their mobile base in Inyokern, [[California]], but it proved an inadequate yield: if the construct was not fed with more genuine AllSpark energy to keep it stable, it would rage out of control and destroy most of the [[solar system]]. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 1|Nefarious #1}}

[[Image:Nefarious6 carter and allspark.jpg|left|thumb|170px]]

To feed the construct, Initiative troops penetrated Hoover Dam and gathered up the residual AllSpark energy left there after the cube's long residence. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 4|Nefarious #4}} The still-growing AllSpark consumed it quickly, but was briefly stabilized by the influx of new power, allowing Carter to connect his body and mind to the AllSpark's energies. Contact with the vast cosmic consciousness of the cube only gave him that final push into true megalomania, and during a subsequent virtual conference with the other members of the Initiatve board, he transmitted the AllSpark's energy over the network, bringing to life various pieces of equipment in the board members' offices. The feral newborn robots promptly killed all the board members, leaving him in sole control of the organization.

Soon after, the Autobots and NEST arrived, having tracked the Initiative to their base, which had since moved to [[Crater Lake]] in [[Oregon]]. To fight back, Carter instructed that all the Transformers that had been captured and brainwashed by the Initiative over the years be released, and that he would power them with the artificial AllSpark. This proved too much for the cube to handle, and it went into meltdown. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 5|Nefarious #5}} Carter refused to listen the warnings of the Initiative staff, using the AllSpark's power to kill [[Hank Kirkpatrick]] before being badly wounded by Reedman, who had been released by Ravage for just that purpose. Believing that the AllSpark would heal his wounds given time, Carter retreated in a portion of the mobile base, but was pursued by Optimus Prime, [[Buzzsaw (ROTF)|Buzzsaw]] (at the command of Soundwave, watching from above) and Fortress, who had been serving as the living core of the mobile base and had been freed by Carter's relative and Initiative staffer [[Ingrid]]. Prime caused Carter's vehicle to crash, and recovered the artificial AllSpark from the wreckage, attempting to stop its meltdown by feeding it with energy from his own [[Spark]]. Buzzsaw proceeded to kill Carter, and Fortress then convinced Prime to hand over the AllSpark construct so that he could teleport it away to the depths of space, where it exploded without harming any innocent life. {{storylink|Nefarious issue 6|Nefarious #6}}

====''Cyber Missions''====
During a series of battles that followed the defeat of The Fallen, the AllSpark was repeatedly and rather anomalously referred to as if it still existed, when the cube had long since been destroyed. When describing a clash between [[Sideswipe (Movie)|Sideswipe]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]], Optimus Prime claimed that the Autobot warrior was acting "in defense of the AllSpark" {{storylink|Cyber Missions 6|Cyber Missions #6}}; Megatron claimed he was searching for the AllSpark; and Optimus Prime described the Autobots as "defenders of the AllSpark". {{storylink|Decepticons Attack}} Maybe they were talking about the AllSpark knowledge that's now in the Matrix...?

===''Animated'' continuity family===
====''Animated'' cartoon====
[[Image:Animated allspark.jpg|right|325px|thumb|Obligatory mysterious life-giving MacGuffin.]]

The AllSpark of this universe is a sphere of blueish crystal. It is not known with absolute certainty if it predates Cybertron in this reality; the earliest record of its existence is its appearance in many primitive etchings from Cybertronian pre-history, dating to around eight billion years ago. The AllSpark's volatility meant that it required a housing to safely harness its powers, and so legend says that seven billion years ago, a mysterious hammer of alien origin that would become the symbol of Autobot leadership known as the [[Magnus Hammer]] was used to forge a container for the crystal sphere, which then held it through until the present day. Kept in the hands of the ruling body of Cybertron (originally the [[Guardian (Animated)|Guardians]], later the [[Protectobot (Animated)|Protectobots]] and finally the Autobots) the AllSpark was used to generate new Transformer life by infusing the [[protoform]]s formed from the proto-matter mined from Cybertron's [[Sonic Canyons]] with Sparks.

Around seventy million years ago, the Decepticon faction emerged, advocating the use of the AllSpark to bring Cybertron itself to life, that it might serve as a cosmic juggernaut that would allow the Transformers to return to the era of expansion and colonization of other worlds they had enjoyed nearly 700 million years beforehand. When the Decepticon leader [[Megazarak (Animated)|Megazarak]] was ousted by charismatic rhetorician named [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]], tensions finally exploded, and the Autobots and Decepticons went to [[Great War (Animated)|war]] for possession of the AllSpark.

After something in the vicinity of six million years of civil war, things reached a crisis point when the Decepticons began a strategic bombing campaign on Cybertron, demanding the AllSpark be turned over in exchange for a cessation of hostilities. {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II}} Rather than give in to Megatron's demands, the Autobots instead sought to put the AllSpark beyond any Cybertronian's reach, launching it randomly through a [[space bridge]] to some distant corner of the galaxy, where it was hoped it would never be found. {{storylink|Transform and Roll Out}}

[[Image:Tfnro allspark found.jpg|left|215px|thumb|Before time began there was…the irregular decahedron.]]

Four million years later, an Autobot maintenance crew led by [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] were repairing a space bridge in the [[Azazel asteroid belt]] when they stumbled across the AllSpark, hidden away inside a rock. Of their number, only [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]] recognized the relic, telling them of its history and significance in the Great War, and believing that the AllSpark had now found them, rather than the other way around. Almost immediately, a small band of Decepticons led by Megatron—long since exiled after the war's end—showed up in [[Nemesis (Animated)|their warship]], having detected the AllSpark's energy readings. Megatron attacked the Autobots' fleeing [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|ship]] to claim the AllSpark himself, but his attempt was sabotaged by a bomb placed on him by his lieutenant, [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]]. The explosion sent the Autobots' ship careening out of control, at which point the AllSpark activated the space bridge, opening a portal through which the ship disappeared. It rematerialized over [[Earth]], and the Autobots entered emergency stasis just before crash-landing in [[Lake Erie]].

[[Image:Tfnro sari meets allspark.jpg|right|thumb|215px]]

Fifty years later, the Autobots awoke ventured into the nearby city of [[Detroit]] to save people from a rampaging monster. [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] quickly befriended a young girl named [[Sari Sumdac]], who convinced him to take her aboard the Autobots' ship when his teammate [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] was badly injured. While aboard, Sari came in contact with the AllSpark, which decided for some reason to open up to her—in more ways than one. Under its own power, the container opened to reveal the crystal within, which fired a beam of light at Sari's security keycard, reconfiguring it into the [[AllSpark Key]], a powerful tool with which Sari could upgrade, modify, heal and reconfigure just about any electrical device or appliance, including the bodies of the Transformers themselves.

[[Image:TFA TFandRollout Prime SS Allsparkactivates.jpg|left|thumb|215px]]

For a time, the Autobots were celebrated as Detroit's newest superheroes, but then Starscream tracked them down. He took hostages and demanded the AllSpark in exchange for their return. With Sari's help, the hostages were freed, but Starscream still managed to get hold of the AllSpark, and he quickly started obliterating sections of Detroit with it. Prime attempted to wrestle the AllSpark away from him in mid-air but again it opened, this time unleashing a powerful surge of energy that blasted away Starscream to parts unknown. Prime [[The many deaths of Optimus Prime|did not survive]] his subsequent fall, but in desperation, Sari used the reconfigured AllSpark Key on him. The AllSpark intervened directly this time, and Prime's [[spark]] was restored online. {{storylink|Transform and Roll Out}}

Following this, the AllSpark was returned to the Autobots ship of the bottom of Lake Erie, and kept there for safety, rather than in their new Detroit headquarters. When more and more Decepticons began appearing on Earth, the Autobots believed it would be necessary to reactivate their ship and take the AllSpark away from Earth, but Sari refused to let her new friends go, and tried to sabotage their ship. The AllSpark, however, refused to let her, automatically repairing any damaged she inflicted before opening once more to project a terrifying hologram of Megatron, warning Sari of the danger that secretly lay in hiding on Earth. {{storylink|Lost and Found (episode)|Lost and Found}}

[[Image:Megatron Rising 2 All Spark Megs boom.jpg|right|215px|thumb|Ouch.]]
The day of reckoning the Autobots had long feared came to pass when Megatron—whose decapitated head had been recovered by Sari's father in his youth and had since been kept in his laboratory—was restored through the power of Sari's stolen key. Invading the Autobots' now-airborne ship, Megatron tore the crystal sphere of the AllSpark from its container and inserted it into his chest, planning to use it as a weapon to destroy Earth and conquer Cybertron. However, Optimus Prime was able to reclaim Sari's AllSpark Key, and used it to crack the crystal, causing an energy surge that led the AllSpark to shatter explosively. {{storylink|Megatron Rising - Part 2}}

[[Image: Missionaccomplished_allspark_fragments.jpg|left|thumb|215px]]

The AllSpark's physical form may have been destroyed, but its power was as potent as ever, merely dispersed. Portions of its substance also remained in the form of crystalline shards, which rained down across the greater Detroit area, yielding a variety of different effects. The earliest shards discovered had embedded themselves into [[Sumdac Systems]]s [[automaton]]s, machinery and vehicles causing them to go berserk, {{storylink|The Elite Guard}}, while other vehicles actually wound up being brought to life by the shards' power, creating [[Wreck-Gar (Animated)|Wreck-Gar]], {{storylink|Garbage In, Garbage Out}}, [[Scrapper (Animated)|Scrapper]] and [[Mixmaster (Animated)|Mixmaster]]. {{storylink|Rise of the Constructicons}} The human supervillains of Detroit were even able to get their hands on a few shards and put them to nefarious uses: [[Master Disaster (Animated)|Master Disaster]] used one to built a remote that allowed him to control other machines and fix the results of his underground street races, [[Image:Bridgetoofar1_starscreams_shard.jpg|right|thumb|215px]] {{storylink|Velocity}} and [[Slo-Mo]] found a shard that allowed her to slow down time. {{storylink|SUV: Society of Ultimate Villainy}}

Starscream also felt the life-giving power of a shard: having been killed by Megatron shortly after his restoration, the treacherous Decepticon was brought back to life by a fragment, rendered essentially immortal for as long as it remained lodged in his head. {{storylink|Mission Accomplished}} By breaking off small chips of the fragment, Starscream was able to create an army of clones of himself that he intended to use to usurp Megatron as Decepticon leader. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part I}} During the subsequent attack, however, Starscream was decapitated by a [[Headmaster unit]], and Megatron used his head and the AllSpark fragment within it to power his newly-constructed space bridge. To stop Megatron's plan to invade Cybertron, the Autobots used all the shards they had collected to bring their ship—in actuality the giant Autobot warrior [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]]—back online. Omega shut the bridge down by absorbing its [[transwarp]] energies, but was sucked through the vortex just before it closed, taking all the fragments the Autobots had gathered with him. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part II}} Nevertheless, the Autobots were seen with another shard in their possession soon after, which inadvertently merged with a [[Headmaster unit]] and a fork lift to create [[Dirt Boss (Animated)|Dirt Boss]]. {{storylink|Three's a Crowd}}

[[Image:Endgame1_prowl_reforms_allspark.jpg|left|thumb|215px]]

Some time later, working with [[Jazz (Animated)|Jazz]] to complete his training in the use of [[processor-over-matter]], [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]] successfully communed with the AllSpark, summoning together tiny slivers of its substance and energy to re-form a shard. This revelation came at the best possible time: soon after, Megatron attacked Detroit with three [[Lugnut Supreme|clones of Omega Supreme]], powered by AllSpark shards he had salvaged from the giant Autobot's body. {{storylink|Endgame, Part I}} [[Image:TFA Prime with Matrix.jpg|160px|thumb|right|It may not light our darkest hour, but it sure does look cool.]] To save the city, Jazz and Prowl combined their abilities to reconstitute as much of the AllSpark as they could, intending to use its power to project a shield over the metropolis. Although the pair were able to summon and re-combine many crystals, including Starscream's, they were unable to gather enough to accomplish the task, and so Prowl sacrificed himself, adding his own spark to the crystal mass, providing the necessary power. The AllSpark generated a shield that protected Detroit from the explosion caused by bombs Starscream had planted in the Omega Supreme clones, and the Autobots emerged triumphant. {{storylink|Endgame, Part II}}

Discovering that the reconstituted AllSpark was a volatile as legend claimed, Optimus Prime used the Magnus Hammer (previously stolen from [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Ultra Magnus]] by [[Shockwave (Animated)|Shockwave]] but later reclaimed by the Earthbound Autobots) to forge a new, smaller container for the crystal that he called an "[[AllSpark Matrix]]". {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II}} Wearing this Matrix around his neck on a chain, Prime led the victorious Autobots back to Cybertron. {{storylink|Endgame, Part II}}

====''Exodus'' novel====
This universe's AllSpark resided in the [[Well of All Sparks]] on Cybertron, where it carried out the will of [[Primus]] by creating every Cybertronian life. When the Autobot/Decepticon war erupted, however, the AllSpark briefly ceased to produce life in a seeming act of divine rebellion, only to apparently change its mind and create one final generation — including [[Bumblebee (Prime)|Bumblebee]]—who entirely joined the Autobots. As the Decepticons besieged [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]] made the decision to eject the AllSpark into space.

Many cycles later, after the war had drained Cybertron of energon, forcing the Autobots and Decepticons to depart the planet, the Autobot ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]'' emerged from the space bridge to an unknown [[Milky Way|spiral galaxy]], and detected the energy of the AllSpark nearby... {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus}}

[[Image:Moviegame sam gives prime allspark.jpg|left|thumb|250px]]
The AllSpark was held in Hoover Dam behind a laser security grid. Once liberated by Bumblebee, it began to shrink to a more manageable size, but gave off jolts of energy as it did so, bringing the surrounding machinery to life as [[Energon drone]]s. After fending the critters off, Bumblebee took the AllSpark to Mission City, but it continued radiating Energon all the way, producing more and more Energon drones from the city's machines to bedevil the Autobots.

Following a huge subsequent battle with the Decepticons, Sam Witwicky was in the middle of handing the AllSpark to Optimus Prime when the apparently-defeated Megatron sprang to life and lunged at them. Prime seized the Decepticon leader's flail weapon and pulled him in, ramming the All Spark into Megatron's chest and destroying him. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game}}

After the Autobots recovered the All Spark from Hoover Dam and brought it to Mission City, Sam Witwicky handed it off to Optimus Prime, who proceeded to play cat-and-mouse around the city with Megatron, trying to keep the cube out of his clutches. Unfortunately, Optimus tired before Megatron did, and the villain succeeded in killing him and obtaining the AllSpark. Megatron proceeded to safely absorb the cube into his body, boosting his power to obscene levels, and prepared to conquer the rest of Earth. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (console)|Transformers The Game}}

Mysterious military organization "The Corporation" had a large stone sculpture of the AllSpark decorating their front lawn, so presumably they were a division of, a cover or front for, or an alternate version of Sector Seven.

During the battle in Mission City, Megatron himself targeted Bumblebee for attack, swooping down on the little Autobot from above and seizing the AllSpark. Channelling its energies, Megatron then faced off against Optimus Prime in a protracted city-wide battle, using the cube's power to bring surrounding vehicles to life to make things even tougher for the Autobot leader. Eventually, Prime was able to knock the AllSpark from Megatron's grasp, at which point Sam Witwicky stepped in, grabbing the cube and plunging it into Megatron's chest, destroying him. {{storylink|Transformers The Game (PSP)|Transformers The Game}}

===''Transformers: Autobots''===

[[Image:Ds_autobots_energon_drone.jpg|right|thumb]]

When Bumblebee located the AllSpark inside Hoover Dam, he didn't just have to get through a forcefield to recover it—he also had to deal with the Energon drones the cube began to create in some panicked act of self-defense, apparently believing itself to be under attack. Bumblebee persisted, fighting his way through the beasties and shutting the forcefield down, recovering the now-shrunken AllSpark.

Soon after, during the Battle of Mission City, Megatron claimed the AllSpark from Bumblebee, but this did not stop the [[Create-A-Bot (Autobot)|Autobot Create-A-Bot]] from attacking him. The brave Autobot succeeded in knocking the cube from Megatron's hand, and sacrificed his own life grabbing it and slamming it into Megatron's chest. The Decepticon leader was greatly weakened by the blast, allowing Optimus Prime to finish him off once and for all. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers: Autobots}}

===''Transformers: Decepticons''===

At the height of the battle in Mission City, Starscream tracked Bumblebee down and exterminated him, obtaining the power of the AllSpark for himself. Killing both [[Blackout (Movie)|Blackout]] and [[Barricade (Movie)|Barricade]] with his new powers, [[Starscream (Movie)|Lord Starscream]] was then faced with his own protégé, the [[Create-A-Bot (Decepticon)|Decepticon Create-A-Bot]], and used his AllSpark abilities to create Energon drones to keep him occupied rather than kill him. This momentary generosity proved Starscream's undoing, however, as the Create-A-Bot defeated the drones, and managed to knock the AllSpark from Starscream, slamming it into him in hopes of destroying him. While the heroic act left the Create-A-Bot on the verge of death, Starscream was not hurt at all... until Megatron entered the scene, scooped up the AllSpark, and used its powers to destroy him. {{storylink|Transformers Autobots/Decepticons|Transformers: Decepticons}}

===Allspark Highway===
The Autobots recovered the AllSpark, but had to carry it down treacherous dirt roads in a sort of relay race to get it to safety. The Decepticons repeatedly tried to snatch it from them, but eventually they just sorta gave up after [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] got hold of it, and the Autobots were victorious! {{storylink|Allspark Highway}}

===''Transformers Animated: The Game''===

Megatron hired [[Lockdown (Animated)|Lockdown]] to gather up scattered AllSpark fragments that he would use to power the space bridge he had secretly constructed. As coincidence would have it, the Autobots got wise to Megatron's plan just as they were dealing with some Sumdac drones that had gone berserk as a result of an AllSpark fragment becoming lodged in the machinery that was constructing them. They proved unable to stop Lockdown from obtaining the fragments, and Megatron departed through the space bridge to Cybertron. Optimus Prime and [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]] followed, but the bridge shut down before [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] could follow, requiring the little Autobot to find some more fragments to power it back up. He located a few with Sari's help, but they were promptly stolen by Lockdown, who intended to sell them on to the highest bidder. With a timely assist from Prowl, Bumblebee reclaimed the shards from Lockdown and was able to rejoin his teammates on Cybertron. {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The Game}}

===Revenge of the Fallen===
[[Image:Allspark_rubiks_cube.jpg|right|thumb|300px| Because Rubik's cubes weren't nerdy enough.]]
*'''Rubik's Cube Allspark Edition''' (2009)

:Originally slated to be released in 2008, this item was held back and was instead released in new packaging as part of the [[Milton Bradley]]'s ''[[Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (franchise)|Revenge of the Fallen]]'' merchandise line. While it comes in the standard Rubik's Cube colors, the cube itself is cast in light grey plastic and the patterns seen on the movie AllSpark are printed on the colored facets, as well as an Autobot and Decepticon sigil on the white and yellow faces, respectively. This actually makes this version harder than the original Rubik's Cube, as the center faces must be properly aligned so that the patterns match up correctly. It comes with a grey stand with [[Vacuum metallizing|vacuum metallization]] on one of the three embossed Rubik's logos.

==Notes==
*The concept of the AllSpark was introduced in the first live-action movie, derived from hybridizing the concepts of previous life-giving talismans of Transformer lore, the Matrix of Leadership and [[Vector Sigma]]. The term "Matrix" was off limits because of the [[Wikipedia: The Matrix|movie of the same name]], so instead, the object was known as "[[energon cube|the Energon Cube]]" for most of the film's production, even appearing under that name in the movie's [[Transformers (novel)|novelisation]]. Producer [[Don Murphy]] was never entirely happy with the name, however, and so it was rechristened "the AllSpark" for the finished film. The finalized moniker came from the ''[[Beast Machines: Transformers (cartoon)|Beast Machines]]'' cartoon, where it was the name of the [[Allspark|Transformer afterlife]].
*In one instance in the Cybertronian subtitles used in the first movie, the object's named is parsed "All Spark". This particular parsing was also used consistently in [[Titan Books|Titan]]'s [[United Kingdom]] ''[[Transformers (Titan Magazine)|Transformers]]'' comic.
* In July 2007, several items from the movie were auctioned off on e-bay including the 'Hero' AllSpark prop used for closeups, with the money benefiting the [[wikipedia:Fisher House Foundation|Fisher House Foundation]], a living facility attached to many US Military Hospitals. The auction collected 99 bids and the prop was sold for US $20,100.
* While the ''Animated'' cartoon drew upon the movie in developing its AllSpark, sharing its life-giving powers, enigmatic origins and fated launch into space, the ''Animated'' AllSpark's outer container was designed in homage to the object that inspired them both, the Matrix of Leadership. As noted at [[BotCon 2008]], the ''Animated'' creative team had no intention of providing an in-story origin for their AllSpark, because to do so would run the risk of making the artifact less interesting, or being so bizarre that it shattered the audience's willing suspension of disbelief, or being so wildly convoluted that explaining it all would get in the way of telling the actual story, or all of the above.

*The launching of the ''Prime'' AllSpark was detailed in the apocryphal story, "[[Bumblebee at Tyger Pax]]".
