Transformer afterlife

[[Image:Theallspark.jpg|right|thumb|The Allspark]]

The "Well of All Sparks," or simply '''The Allspark''', is a dimension through which all living things -- past, present, and future -- are connected. A single Transformer's lifeforce, or [[Spark]], leaves the Allspark when it is born and returns to it when it dies. Collectively, the sparks that compose the Allspark are the essence of [[Primus]].

The Allspark is sometimes referred to as the Matrix. This can be confusing, as the Autobot [[Matrix of Leadership]], a tangible artifact which acts as a gateway to the Allspark, can also be called "the Matrix."

The slogan "[[Till all are one]]!" likely refers to a coming day when all beings are as united in culture and temperment as they were in the Allspark.

[[Unicron]] can be seen as an inverse Allspark; instead of dispersing into many small parts to give life, he consumes all and deals only in death. It is in this way he is the opposite and enemy of Primus.

[[Megatron (BW)|Beast Machines Megatron]] attempted to consume all sparks to become a single, all-powerful giant spark, and nearly succeeded. Ironically, it was through his effort, and the opposition of [[Optimus Primal]], that the day of peace finally arrived, and All Became One.

Onslaught (G1)

2007-03-03T05:14:44Z

71.162.45.25: /* Animated continuity */

:''Onslaught is a [[Decepticon]] [[Combaticon]] from the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:MTMTEOnslaught.jpg|right|thumb|300px|Generic dramatic stock pose #17, NOW!]]

'''Onslaught''' likes to watch. He doesn't enjoy getting his hands dirty, but rather, Onslaught prefers the thrill of designing battle plans, strategies, and tactics, and then watching his [[Combaticon]] soldiers carry them out. While he typically crafts his strategies to exclude his direct involvement, Onslaught is no coward. When required, he will engage in battle with strength, cunning and earthquaking fury. While this darker more brutish side of Onslaught might lead some [[Decepticon]]s into thinking he has a secret blood-lust stashed away in his circuits, truth be told, he's just really ticked off that he has to go out and do some actual fighting.

Onslaught can combine with his fellow Combaticons to form [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]].

==Fiction==
===''Generation 1''===
===Marvel Comics continuity===

===Animated continuity===
''Voice actor:'' [[S. Marc Jordan]], [[Steve Bulin]] (US), [[Yutaka Shimaka]] (Japan)

After being exiled with [[Starscream]] and the rest of the [[Combaticon|Combaticons]], Onslaught hatched a plan to take over Cybertron and use his back cannons to reconfigure the [[Space Bridge]]. The plan was to send Earth hurling into the Sun.

It didn't work.

===Dreamwave continuity===

==Toys==
===Generation 1===
* '''Onslaught''' (1986)
: ''Japanese ID number:'' '''D-64'''

: Onslaught transforms into a dark green mobile anti-aircraft truck of made-up origin, armed with a large double-barrelled cannon mounted on the flatbed of his vehicle mode. He can also assume a base/gun emplacement mode with a ramp that smaller Combaticons can use. In an undocumented feature, this base mode can be connected to the Decepticon city [[Trypticon]].

: In robot mode, Onslaught is armed with a long olive laser rifle and is accessorized by a small chest plate. He forms the central body component of Bruticus, protected by an even larger silver chest plate and Bruticus' head. He also comes with Bruticus' hands and feet.

: This mold was redecoed as ''[[Operation Combination]]'' [[Great Cannon]], ''[[Robots in Disguise]]'' [[Mega-Octane]], and ''[[Universe]]'' Mega-Octane.

===Generation 2===
* '''Onslaught''' (1993)

: In ''Generation 2'', Onslaught was redecoed in a rather outlandish colour scheme of bright orange covered in purple camoflage, with purple replacing most of his olive and silver colours.

Maximal Elder

2007-03-03T01:11:04Z

71.162.45.25: /* ''Beast Wars'' */

:''The Maximal Elders are the leaders of [[Cybertron]] during the [[Beast Wars]] era of the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

[[Image:ConvoyCouncil1.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Robes: because even robots get cold, sometimes.]]

The '''Maximal Elders''' lead the political and military fronts from planet [[Cybertron]] following the conclusion of the [[Great War]]. They allow the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]] certain individual freedoms as their own faction, though in reality, they must answer to the Maximal Elders. The Maximal Elders aren't all sugar and rainbows, however, as they have greenlit several experiments of questionable ethics.

'''Japanese Name''': Convoy Council

==Fiction==
===''Beast Wars''===

Not much is known about the Maximal Elders, including who the members are and how many exist. The [[Tripredacus Council]] is accused of kissing their skid-plates. They apparently keep a tight hold on any and all information regarding the [[Great War]] and [[Earth]], restricting access to it from the general populance. (The Predacons conversely have no such restrictions.) They have also made the area of space around planet Earth off limits, for unknown reasons. They also made [[Protoform X]].

===''Beast Wars Neo''===

The Maximal Elders were shown as the Supreme ruling body of the Maximal faction, communing with [[Vector Sigma]] and giving orders to Generals of a [[Convoy]] ranking. The Maximal Elders assigned [[Big Convoy]] with the task of training a fresh batch of new recruits. Big Convoy was notoriously anti-social and a bit of a psycho. The Maximal Elders believed that by surrounding him with rowdy youngsters, Big Convoy might learn how to make friends.

When [[Unicron]] was reborn, he made his way back to [[Cybertron]] to settle an old score with the planet. [[Great Convoy]], a member of the Maximal Elders, lead a Maximal armada of hundreds of warships against the Chaos God. However, they were all instantly destroyed by Unicron's fiery serpent-mode and Great Convoy was killed the battle. The fate of the other Maximal Elders is unknown.

===''Beast Machines''===
Sometime after conquering all of Cybertron with his [[Vehicon]] army and transformation virus, [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] moved into the Citadel in the planetary capital of [[Cybertropolis]], which had previously served as the capitol of the Maximal Elders.

===Apelinq's War Journals===
[[Apelinq]] noted with disdain that, in the wake of the attacks that signaled the beginning of Megatron's conquest of Cybertron, the Maximal Elders at first attempted to ignore the problem, but as it became clear that the attacks were not simply random, isolated incidents, they became "all but immobilized, with blame and doubt being cast from one end of the command chain to another".

===IDW ''Beast Wars'' comics===

===''Universe''===

==Additional notes==
Many fans assume that [[Magnaboss (BW)|Magnaboss]] may fill the same role for the Maximals that the [[Tripredacus Council]] performs for the [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]]. Its three components' [[Generation 1]]-inspired names infers to some that these are the original [[Autobot]]s in advisory roles. Indeed, in the ''Universe'' comics, Magnaboss was depicted as a member of the [[High Council]], among others, after the reformatting of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]].
