The '''Forge of [[Solus Prime]]''' is the symbol of office of the master-artificer of the [[Thirteen]]. Oddly, it is not actually a forge in the classic sense, but rather a hammer the size of which suggests that Solus Prime and her brothers towered over modern Cybertronians. This hammer was used to craft all other artifacts of the Thirteen, and is noted to be one of the few things which could craft the core components of a Cybertronian body from scratch. It is largely inert when not in the hands of a [[Prime (rank)|Prime]], but that doesn't mean it can't pack a ''slagging huge'' whallop. The thing is so heavy that only Optimus Prime and Megatron can carry it without any difficulty.

The Forge was wielded by Solus Prime as the Thirteen battled [[Unicron]]. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 1}}

Before the Great War, the Forge of Solus Prime was kept in the [[Vaults]] of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], but was hidden on Earth to keep it out of the wrong hands. Millions of years later its location was decoded by the amnesiac [[Optimus Prime (Prime)|Optimus Prime]], who wished to use it to construct a new [[T-cog]] for [[Bumblebee]]. [[Megatron]] later sent [[Breakdown (Prime)|Breakdown]] and [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] to retrieve it. Breakdown managed to mostly unearth the titanic hammer, but ultimately was denied by [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] who proceeded to wipe the floor with the hapless Decepticon, aided by the Forge. Megatron's timely arrival via [[GroundBridge]] wrested the Forge from Bulkhead's servos, but upon returning to the ''[[Trypticon (Prime)|Nemesis]]'', the Decepticon leader found that the hammer was nothing but a cudgel unless held by a Prime. Nonetheless, Megatron considered it a victory, if only because the Forge was now far out of the reach of Optimus Prime, who ''could'' use its true power. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 2}}

After Optimus got hold of the [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]], Megatron sought a means to counter the powerful weapon. After [[Dreadwing (Prime)|Dreadwing]] reminded him of the Forge in their possession, Megatron decided that the time had come for drastic measures. Returning to [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]], he stole the arm of a deceased Prime and had it grafted to himself, finally allowing him the use of the Forge. Megatron then used the Forge to create the [[Dark Star Saber]] from a piece of [[Dark Energon]], and the new sword proved more than a match for the Star Saber as it shattered it into many pieces. {{storylink|Alpha/Omega}}

==Notes==
*Suns are capable of forging any raw element (up to iron) under the right conditions, so it's fitting that the Forge of Solus Prime can forge anything FROM raw elements under the right conditions (Primehood).
