'''Meteorfire''' used to be a big name to the Autobots. Once the host of the extremely popular ''[[Alien Hunt!]]'' alongside his best Sheila [[Cosmos (Cyberverse)|Cosmos]], he would breathlessly teach his audiences all 'bout beautiful and dangerous alien wildlife, and got into all sorts of scrapes. Of course, that was before Cosmos went and got abducted by aliens. Meteorfire hasn't seen her since.

You'd think, maybe, the loss of the two things that mattered most to him might've made Meteorfire a little bitter or something, but nah. He's still got that same foolhardy zest for hunting (and the shine of the cameras) that made him a media darling to begin with. While he has been in a funk since Cosmos went missing, it wouldn't take that much to get this guy back into the alien-hunting game.

Strewth Ruth! Pop open a can an' take a seat on me eskie. Back in the glory days, Meteorfire was the co-host of ''Alien Hunt!'', travellin' the galaxy with his best mate Cosmos and cataloguing all manner of totally wild alien lifeforms that inhabited the ol' universe, becoming a big splash on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] before Cosmos went walkabout. Unable to find his mate, Meteorfire canceled ''Alien Hunt!'' and withdrew to his camper, chuggin' down [[energon]] and watching old clips of the duo's adventures. Crikey, bit sad ain'it?

After the [[Quintesson]] invasion, [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] dropped in on Meteorfire for a sausage sizzle, who badgered his help in journeyin' to [[Moonbase 3|Luna 3]], the forbidden moon, to recover a psychic shard of the [[cityspeaker]] [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]]. Seeing the opportunity to make a new episode of ''Alien Hunt'', Meteorfire eagerly joined in. After breaching the moon's [[force field]], Meteorfire felt compelled to investigate the abandoned communications hub which resulted in the two being harassed by the [[ghost]] of [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]], Meteorfire suspecting alien involvement.

As the two neared Windblade's shard, Meteorfire found his motor functions overridden. Still able to speak, Meteorfire directed Bumblebee on how to dodge his blows before the scout gave the host a good jolt to free him. Pressing forward, the two discovered that the culprit for the strange going-ons was an [[obicular-class parasitic entity]]. Though Meteorfire tried to put on a brave face, the entity began consuming him, only to be quickly shattered by Bumblebee's [[multiverse]] energy. After Windblade's shard was collected, Meteorfire was overjoyed to find Cosmos pulling herself up from under the entity's remains, explaining that she'd crashed herself and the alien on Luna 3 to prevent it from feasting on Cybertron's fears. Overjoyed to have his partner back, Meteorfire proceeded to revive ''Alien Hunt!'' {{storylink|Alien Hunt! With Meteorfire And Cosmos}}

Sometime later, Meteorfire can be seen with Cosmos in the crowd celebrating the signing of the peace treaty between the Autobots and Decepticons. {{storylink|The Immobilizers}}

'''Cybertron''' is the home planet of the [[Transformer]]s and (usually) the body of their creator, [[Primus]]. Cybertron is ([[Beast Machines: Transformers (cartoon)|almost]] [[Transformers: Universe (comic)|always]]) a shining metal, technological world; a planet of towering future cities without end and vast metallic plains, spiraling metal mountains and bottomless neon-lit chasms. Battling over control of Cybertron and its resources is frequently the motivation for, or origin of, the Transformers' epic wars. Beyond these facts much about Cybertron can differ between continuities, see individual entries below.

{{noteukonly}}
[[File:ThePrimalScream-aworldhecalledcybertron.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Cybertron was the adopted form of the lord of the light gods [[Primus]], who trapped himself and [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] in barren asteroids which they then shaped into their physical forms. While Unicron turned his prison into a transformable, humanoid body, Primus reformed himself into a vast [[Saturn]]-sized machine-world, home for a [[Transformer|robotic race]] he created to fight Unicron with similar [[transformation]] abilities. {{storylink|The Primal Scream}}

It has been suggested that the [[Demon]]s in the darkness were the world's original inhabitants, locked away beneath the world by Primus, though this remains unconfirmed.

Aside from the Transformers, the world seems to possess the mechanical equivalent of plant and animal life, though the exact nature and origin of this lower "life" has never been examined in detail. This version of Cybertron has rough hewn [[Manganese Mountains|mountain ranges]] and great [[Rust Sea|seas]]. (Though of note these seas are not made of water. Liquid water is so rare on Cybertron as to be thought a mythical substance. Alternative substances these bodies are filled with are mercury {{storylink|The Smelting Pool!}} and liquid helium {{storylink|The Primal Scream}}/{{storylink|Letters page (Marvel UK)|Darn 'n' Blast #303}}) The atmosphere and temperature on most of the surface is such that human life can survive unaided.

[[File:Marvel issue 1 Cybertron.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|left|Just another Alpha Centauri sunrise.]]

In its earliest recorded era Cybertron orbited [[Alpha Centauri]], and the Transformers were at peace. {{storylink|The Transformers (issue)|The Transformers}} ''From an unknown point of time, Cybertron was ruled by the [[Overlord (rank)|Overlords]], a governing council of absolute rulers. Over time, their power and number dwindled, until Cybertron was composed of multiple city-states who were constantly clashing with each other; the key three powers were [[Vos (polity)|Vos]], [[Tarn (polity)|Tarn]] and [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. While all the major cities were using their might to pork energy at the expense of others, Iacon did ration theirs out to neighbouring smaller cities. Tarn and Vos, by comparison, built up vast armies. In an attempt to lessen growing hostilities caused by the splintering governments and the dwindling resources on Cybertron, the last Overlord started the [[Games (competition)|Games]]: an inter-city [[gladiatorial combat|gladiatorial tournament]]. This allowed the population to exorcise their hostilities, and soon the vicious athlete [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] had a cult of personality based around him and his feats. He built this up, quietly planning to unite Cybertron under his own rule and turn it into a mighty cosmic dreadnought! One of his great rivals was Optimus Prime, the champion of Iacon.''

''Vos — ruled by a [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]]-headed criminal syndicate — sent its athletic team to bomb Tarn (ruled by [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]]) and finger Iacon as the culprit. As with all plans by Starscream, this cocked up — Tarn realised Vos had attacked it, and war broke out that devastated both cities. Iacon happily let its rivals beat on each other. During the conflict, Optimus Prime tried to get the Overlord to safety but Megatron secretly ensured the leader starved to death; once the war ended, Megatron used his fame and charisma to convince the war's survivors that Iacon was at fault for not stepping in to prevent the war, and that Iacon was the enemy. This angry mass became the first Decepticons.'' {{storylink|State Games}}

[[File:Generics marvel 1.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]

Megatron rallied his army to march on the Autobot cities, conquering large swaths of Cybertron until [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] arose from the Autobots ranks to match his old foe. Megatron's ultimate aim was to turn Cybertron into a "cosmic dreadnought", intending to use his homeworld as a galaxy conquering warship. {{storylink|The Transformers (issue)|The Transformers}} ''To achieve this, Megatron constructed a prototype set of [[planetary engine]]s in [[Kalis]].'' {{storylink|Meltdown!}}

Before Megatron could achieve his dream, the sheer firepower unleashed by the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]] tore Cybertron from its orbit and sent it hurtling aimlessly throughout the cosmos. When it passed through the [[Solar System|Sol system]], the [[asteroid belt]] threatened to destroy Cybertron forcing the Autobots to use the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] to clear a path for their world. Though they were successful, they were ambushed by [[Decepticon]]s led by Megatron, and their battle ended with a crash-landing on Earth that left all the combatants deactivated. Their compatriots on Cybertron mourned their loss but continued the wars. {{storylink|The Transformers (issue)|The Transformers}}

''The young warlord [[Trannis]] seized on his opportunity and assumed command of the Decepticon forces, reorganizing the army and conquering all but [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. After a long stalemate, Trannis decided "screw it" and razed Iacon, finally putting Cybertron under Decepticon rule. As the centuries passed, Trannis grew complacent in his rule allowing the [[Wrecker]]s to assassinate him which only served to allow for the more brutal [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]] to take command.'' {{storylink|Cybertron: The Middle Years!}}

[[File:The Smelting Pool! The Dead End.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

By [[1985]], the Autobots had been forced into guerrilla warfare against their foes. When the Earth-bound Transformers contacted their homeworld, the Decepticons made plans to connect the two planets via [[space bridge]]. {{storylink|The Smelting Pool!}} Though [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]]'s resistance cell managed to destroy the bridge and kill Straxus, they were left stranded on Earth. {{storylink|The Bridge to Nowhere!}}

[[File:Edgeofextinction-someonefight.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.1|Don't worry, if Unicron eats this Cybertron, Marvel can xerox another copy of the model sheet.]]

After Optimus Prime's physical demise, Megatron went properly off his rocker and blew up the space bridge he was standing on, {{storylink|Gone but Not Forgotten!}} which transported him to the [[Dead End (place)|Dead End]] on Cybertron, spending the next few years as a mindless [[Empty]]. {{storylink|The Resurrection Gambit!}}

Circa [[1990]], members of the Ark crew fought with the [[Mayhem Attack Squad]] in a chamber containing the giant head of Primus. A stray shot hit the god's face, and he awoke with a scream that alerted Unicron to his location. {{storylink|The Primal Scream}}

When the Chaos Bringer arrived, the Autobots and Decepticons united against him, but the battle still wreaked havoc on the planet. Unicron was defeated by the opening of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]], but only after he'd already destroyed Primus. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}} In the aftermath, Cybertron suffered storms and earthquakes that many believed would tear the world apart. {{storylink|Exodus!}} The remaining Transformers evacuated, but Cybertron was ultimately saved by the united efforts of Optimus Prime and the [[Neo-Knights]] who awakened the [[Last Autobot]]. {{storylink|The Last Autobot?}} The ancient steward revealed that upon the Matrix's opening, the planet had been bathed in its energy and was in fact healing itself. After he guided the process in a steady manner, he and Prime recalled the Autobots before returning the humans to Earth and finally bringing peace to the metallic planet. {{storylink|End of the Road! (US)|End of the Road!}}

====Significant locations====
*Cybertron has two moons. {{storylink|The Bridge to Nowhere!}}
*Cybertron was historically organized into city-states, the largest and most important being [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. Others have included [[Kalis]], [[Tarn (polity)|Tarn]], and [[Vos (polity)|Vos]]. Within the province of [[Polyhex]] was the Decepticon stronghold called [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]].
*Beneath the [[Mutant (G1)|Mutant]] filled sewers, the [[Demon|Demons in the Darkness]] were locked away.
*At the center of this Cybertron there was a room with a huge head of Primus on the wall where he slept and was watched over by the [[Keeper (Transformer)|Keeper]]. Somewhere within the depths of Cybertron could also be found a chamber containing the [[Last Autobot]].
{{-}}

====''Regeneration One''====
[[File:NaturalSelectionPart4-demons.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
Before creating the Cybertronians, [[Primus]] created the [[Demon]]s as a first run. The creatures' free will however caused them to turn each other and Primus attempted to wipe the slate clean. Though most perished, a few survived beneath Cybertron's surface, unnoticed by the Cybertronians who took their place. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Four}}

Prior to the Great War, Cybertron had trade relations with other mechanical planets. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 1}}

As Cybertron reconstructed itself following Unicron's defeat, the [[Dark Matrix]] entity merged itself with the planet infecting every crack and becoming one with it as Primus had done before. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 5}} After the end of the Great War, the [[Pax Cybertronia]] was signed which brought peace to the planet. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 1}}

[[File:WarToEndAllWarsPart5-itneverends.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

After 21 years of relative peace, however, the planet was again thrown into the fire by the machinations of the Dark Matrix entity, {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 5}} marked by the destruction of the Last Autobot. {{storylink|Counterpoint}} After learning that Megatron still lived and was wreaking havoc on Earth, Optimus left the planet under [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Hot Rod]]'s leadership. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 3}} [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]] planned to use a [[Gene Key]] to turn all on the planet into Decepticons.
{{storylink|Natural Selection, Part One}} Though the Decepticon was halted, his scheme had caused great damage to Cybertron, {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Five}} with many turning themselves in or asking to be prosecuted for war crimes. {{storylink|Destiny, Part One}} Cybertron however was soon invaded by Bludgeon's ''[[Warworld]]'', {{storylink|Destiny, Part Three}} which soon turned into all out war before the [[Wrecker]]s destroyed the ship. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Five}}

As Cybertron began (another) cleanup, rogue senator [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] arrived, {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 1}} and offered to integrate Cybertron into the [[Hub (G2)|Hub Network]]. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 2}} The Autobots soon went to war with the Hub and while they were offworld, the Dark Matrix struck out on Cybertron, turning everyone on the planet into [[shadow-leech]]es. Hot Rod, now Rodimus Prime, eventually realized the Dark Matrix creature had been posing as Primus and confronted it in [[Zero Space]]. There, Optimus Prime revealed the entity's plan to Rodimus and that the only way to prevent it was to sever their own reality from the multiverse which Rodimus reluctantly did. Cut off from Primus, Cybertron and its people became mortal, with the latter abandoning the planet in the aftermath. When Rodimus Prime returned to Cybertron after untold eons to finally die, the last vestiges of his Spark energy flowed to one of the stasis pods inhabited by the Demons and [[Botanica (BM)|a new breed of Cybertronian]] emerged to tame the planet. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 5}}

====''Transformers '84''====
After Cybertron had been ripped from its orbit, Shockwave test fired a [[planetary engine|planetary turbine]] that directed the planet towards the dangerous [[Stellae Cimeterium]] to try and have Megatron refocus on [[Project Dreadnought]] to no avail. {{storylink|Secrets & Lies issue 1|Secrets & Lies #1}}

Despite this, Optimus Prime felt that Megatron represented the greatest threat to Cybertron, not least because Cybertron's errant course could be halted by a series of controlled explosions, and launched the Ark in an attempt to lure [[Decepticon High Command]] off Cybertron forever, entrusting [[Punch (G1)|Punch]] to ensure that Megatron never saw their home planet again, so that the Autobot army could have a fighting chance. {{storylink|Transformers '84 issue 0|Transformers '84 #0}}

After clearing away the [[asteroid belt]] that threatened Cybertron, Optimus crashed the Ark on Earth once it had been boarded by the Decepticons. {{storylink|Secrets & Lies issue 2|Secrets & Lies #2}} Despite this, the situation on Cybertron deteriorated for the Autobot army, [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]] emerging as the ''de facto'' [[Decepticon leader]] and leading a brutal campaign against the remaining Autobots. Once he was secure in his power, he gave Counterpunch the clearance to reactivate Project Dreadnought. Punch brought the information back to the Autobots who formed the [[Wrecker]]s to end Dreadnought. {{storylink|Secrets & Lies issue 3|Secrets & Lies #3}}

Despite coming up against [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]], the Wreckers succeeded in destroying Project Dreadnought, leaving Cybertron to continue its errant course throughout the cosmos. With the Decepticons firmly in control of the planet, the Autobots opted for a decentralized approach to warfare under a shared high command. {{storylink|Secrets & Lies issue 4|Secrets & Lies #4}}

[[File:Cybertron-mtmte-actioncards1.jpg|left|thumb|250px|And that, my friends, is when you say "Look out below!"]]

Cybertron appeared [[Scale|considerably smaller than the planet Earth]]. Entirely metallic on the surface, some of the [[Organic core|lowest levels]] of Cybertron consisted of rock and dirt, suggesting an organic beginning to the planet. Its gravity was light enough that [[human]]s were able to traverse the surface without any trouble, and it possessed a breathable atmosphere. {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 2}} [[Water]], or at least a substance resembling it, was in evidence on the planet—lakes and rivers have been shown to exist, albeit sparingly. {{storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}} {{storylink|War Dawn (episode)|War Dawn}} Many levels below the surface was the energy-furnace, the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]], {{storylink|The Rebirth}} and at the heart of the planet was the spherical mega-computer, [[Vector Sigma]]. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1}}

[[File:G1 Cybertron's galaxy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|LOOK HOW LOUD I HAVE TO YELL!]]
Cybertron was orbited by at least three unnamed moons, but its own place in the cosmos appears unfixed—in [[1984]], it was clearly shown to exist outside of the [[Milky Way]]; on the cusp of an entirely different galaxy, in fact. {{storylink|Roll for It}} Nine million years prior, however, [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] and [[Jetfire (G1)|Skyfire]] had been able to fly from their home planet to Earth under their own power, {{storylink|Fire in the Sky}} suggesting that it may drift freely through space, and had been passing through the Sol System at that point, going on to drift out of the galaxy over the ensuing millennia.

If the assorted colourful exclamations made by numerous Transformers are anything to go by, Cybertron also played host to [[:Category:Cybertronic wildlife|a vast array of fauna]], including but not limited to: [[antroid]]s, [[bolt-bat]]s, [[cyber-duck]]s, [[dynametal duck]]s, [[electro-toad]]s, [[glitch-mouse|glitch-mice]], [[guinea pigatron]]s, [[helio-hamster]]s, [[hydroweasel]]s, [[photovoltaic pussycat]]s, [[pigeonoid]]s, [[retrorat]]s, [[robo-rat]]s, [[sheepacron]]s, [[Titanium moose-bot|titanium moose-bots]], [[turbofox]]es, [[zap-mouse|zap-mice]] and [[roboto-possum]]s.

Though Cybertron's precise origins are unknown, twelve million years prior to [[2006]], the planet was used by the [[Quintesson]]s as a mega-factory. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} Their first creations were the [[Trans-Organic]]s, monstrous fusions of organic flesh and Cybertronian metal. Deeming them as failures, the Quintessons destroyed what creatures they could and sealed away the seven they could not in the [[Hibernation Chamber]]. {{storylink|The Dweller in the Depths}} Dispensing with the organic, the Quintessons manufactured two lines of purely mechanical creations, "consumer goods" and "military hardware". Having done too good a job however, the robots evolved into fully sentient creatures that understood cruelty and began a revolt against the Quintessons. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} In the [[Autobot Rebellion]] that followed, the Quintessons sent their [[Dark Guardian]]s out to do the actual fighting while they remained safe in their stronghold of [[Hive City]]. When the rebel leader [[Alpha Trion (G1)|A-3]] turned his [[Coder Remote]] against the Dark Guardians, {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming (episode)|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}} the Quintesson rule collapsed and they were forced off Cybertron.

[[File:Ffod4 early soldiers.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

With the Quintessons gone, the Autobots built a peaceful society but this new peace was short-lived. The military hardware line had evolved into the [[Decepticon]]s and began a war of conquest under the rule of [[Trannis]]. Better suited for warfare, the Decepticons destroyed two [[Guardian Prime|Autobot]] [[Zeta Prime (G1)|leaders]] until [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] developed [[transformation]] technology. With this advantage, the Autobots thought themselves victorious and brought about the [[Golden Age]].

Eventually, however, the Decepticons adopted transformation as well, along with [[robot mode]] flight, and around nine million years ago, the creation of the Decepticon [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] re-ignited the war on Cybertron. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} Megatron rallied like-minded individuals to his cause, and brainwashed others into his service, {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme (episode)|The Secret of Omega Supreme}} quickly killing the current Autobot leader in a strike on one of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]'s outer cities. With this act kept out of the public knowledge, rumors circulated as Autobot machinesmith [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] worked diligently on a new process to reconstruct Autobots into battle-hardy configurations for the war he knew was coming. That war finally erupted in full when Megatron fatally injured a naive young dock worker, Orion Pax, and Alpha Trion made him the first subject of his new process, reconstructing him into [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]], who would lead the Autobots in the [[Great War (G1)|Third Cybertronian War]]. {{storylink|War Dawn (episode)|War Dawn}}

[[File:Cybertron-mtmte-actioncards3.jpg|right|thumb|250px|The white zone is for blasting Autobots only.]]

After a further five million years of war, during which many Autobots fled the planet, {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 2}} the Decepticons had acquired a large hold on the planet, with the majority of it under their control. The main Autobot force continued to operate from the capital city-state of Iacon, but Cybertron's energy levels were depleted to a dangerous low, necessitating a space mission to locate a new planet with new sources of energy that the Transformers could harness. Optimus Prime led his best and brightest on the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], but they were pursued by Megatron's elite troops, and all were stranded in stasis on Earth for four million years. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye, Part 1}}

In the ensuing four million years, [[Shockwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Shockwave]], who Megatron had left in charge as guardian of the planet, maintained the Decepticon hold on the planet, though he was unaware of the continued guerrilla efforts of [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]]'s [[Female Autobots]] to undermine him as they raided his energy supplies. {{storylink|The Search for Alpha Trion}} Eventually, Cybertron's energy level dipped so low as to put the planet in immediate, mortal danger. Reestablishing contact with Megatron, who had awoken with the other Transformers on Earth in the year 1984, Shockwave co-designed the [[space bridge]], an intergalactic transport system that could transport [[energon]] [[energon cube|cubes]] from Earth to Cybertron, abating the planet's impending doom. {{storylink|Transport to Oblivion (episode)|Transport to Oblivion}}

When Optimus Prime's [[cosmitron]] was destroyed, the Autobots dispatched a party to Cybertron to claim a replacement that was still in [[Wheeljack's workshop]]. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer}}

[[File:UltimateDoom2 Cybertron Earth.JPG|thumb|left|250px|I see a Cybertron a-risin'. I see trouble on the way.]]

Cybertron's place in the universe was forcibly altered in 1984 when the Decepticons constructed a colossal space bridge that actually transported the entire planet into the [[Solar System|Sol system]], into Earth's orbit, {{storylink|The Ultimate Doom, Part 1}} where its gravity wreaked havoc with the planet's natural balance, unleashing an unending torrent of energy created by natural disasters. {{storylink|The Ultimate Doom, Part 2}} The energy acquired re-energized Cybertron enough to put it out of the danger zone, but the planet was soon knocked out of orbit by a massive energon explosion, and set drifting off through the solar system. {{storylink|The Ultimate Doom, Part 3}} At this closer range, Cybertron remained easily accessed throughout 1985 at least, with the Autobots now able to reach it by conventional transportation ([[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]), rather than having to constantly hijack use of the spacebridge. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1}}

After Megatron had duped the human race into thinking the Autobots were the invading faction of Cybertronians, the exiled Autobots intended to return to Cybertron only for Megatron to sabotage their flight plan. {{storylink|Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1}}

Not long after that didn't work out, the Cybertronians on Earth, save those who had been built on the planet, began malfunctioning due to depleting stores of [[cybertonium]]. At Megatron's order, Shockwave mined and sent a large batch of the substance to Earth for the Decepticons to be healed. Intercepting the communication, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Spike]] and [[Carly]] went off to intercept the shipment. Though they initially asked the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]]s to help, [[Grimlock (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Grimlock]] saw a chance to abandon Optimus Prime's group and led his team through the space bridge, {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1}} whereupon they were captured and enslaved by Shockwave, save Swoop who retreated into Cybertron's underground. {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 2}} Undeterred, Carly and Spike space bridged to the metallic planet themselves, {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1}} using their small size to dodge Shockwave's blaster fire and sabotage delicate parts of his equipment. Escaping underground, the humans met Swoop who helped them free the other Dinobots and return to Earth with the cybertronium shipment. {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 2}}

When Shockwave discovered that Elita One's band of Autobots still lived, the Decepticons took her as a hostage to try and have Optimus Prime surrender himself. Despite knowing the danger, Optimus rushed to Cybertron where he was taken prisoner. Though Starscream intended to melt Optimus in acid, Elita One used her ability to stop time to save him, requiring the Prime to bring her to Alpha Trion for repairs. The remainder of Elita's squad met up with Ironhide, Powerglide and Inferno, who had followed Optimus through the space bridge, and engaged the Decepticons, succeeding when Optimus and Elita returned. {{storylink|The Search for Alpha Trion}}

Tiring of his forces constantly being defeated on the ground, Megatron built the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] in response but needed Vector Sigma to truly bring them to life. Returning to Cybertron, the Decepticons claimed the [[Key to Vector Sigma]] from Alpha Trion, using its power to turn the [[centurion droid]]s against the Autobots who pursued him. With their new warriors, the Decepticons left Cybertron. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1}} Taking inspiration from their foes, the Autobots built the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] with Alpha Trion sacrificing his life to activate Vector Sigma and bring them online. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2}}

When Shockwave's [[Kronosphere]] came online, the Autobots made for Cybertron to investigate its energy signature. Though intending to use the device to plunder Cybertron's pre-war energon reserves, Megatron instead used it to shunt the Aerialbots into the past. Though he intended to send them to the beginning of time, Autobot damage to the device sent them nine million years into the past, where they ensured Orion Pax would become Optimus Prime, before they returned to the present. {{storylink|War Dawn (episode)|War Dawn}}

In one of Starscream's attempts at becoming [[Decepticon leader]], he returned to Cybertron to steal the [[personality component]]s of the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]], implanting them into new bodies. When this ended in them all being banished to an asteroid, {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}} Starscream abandoned his new warriors and made for Cybertron. Beating him home, the Combaticons used their combined form of [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] to overthrow Shockwave and conquer the planet, using the space bridge to send [[Earth]] towards its [[sun]] as revenge against Megatron. Making another alliance, Optimus Prime and Megatron led their forces to Cybertron, the combined armies defeating Bruticus and ending the Combaticons' reign. {{storylink|The Revenge of Bruticus}}

[[File:TFTM Autobot Cybertron.jpg|right|thumb|250px]]

By the Earth year 2005, Cybertron had exited the Sol system, but, remaining within the Milky Way, was still relatively easily accessible by shuttlecraft from Earth. By this time, the Decepticon forces had succeeded in conquering the entire planet, forcing all the Autobots off it, leading them to relocate to [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] on Earth, and to two staging ground bases on two of [[Moonbase One|Cybertron]]'s [[Moonbase Two|moons]]. It was at this time that Cybertron came under attack from the world eater, [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]], who consumed the two moonbases and assaulted Cybertron itself, only to be destroyed by the power of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Autobot Matrix of Leadership]]. His deactivated, decapitated head fell into orbit around Cybertron, a grisly new satellite to replace those he had destroyed. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}} With the Decepticon forces in disarray after Unicron's attack, [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] and his troops succeeded in driving their foes off Cybertron, reclaiming the planet for the Autobots, and restoring and re-energizing much of the planet by 2006. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}}

Seeing an opportunity, the Quintessons made an alliance with the fractured [[Decepticon Empire]] to attack Cybertron. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} While the Decepticons attacked Cybertron, the Quintessons sent a [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]] commando team to flip the [[large switch]] that would deactivate every Transformer across the galaxy. After [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] flipped it and the Quintessons rejoiced at having Cybertron back, though they had not planned for Spike Witwicky who destroyed the switch. Restored, Galvatron shot at the Quintessons before ordering his forces to retreat. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

When a later Quintesson plot reanimated Optimus Prime, he stranded Rodimus Prime's group in the [[Autobot Mausoleum]] and returned to Cybertron, leading the [[Autobot fleet]] into a trap. Having been given the [[Matrix of Leadership]] once again, its energies purified Prime's mind of the Quintesson programming whereupon he ordered the Autobots to return to Cybertron. {{storylink|Dark Awakening (episode)|Dark Awakening}}

Being pursued by Galvatron's elite, the renegade Decepticon [[Octane]] hid on Cybertron's abandoned Decepticon areas where he was found by Starscream's [[ghost]]. {{storylink|Starscream's Ghost}} During an attempt by [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] and [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] to discover [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]]'s date of creation, [[Cyclonus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Cyclonus]] sent the [[Lost Cybertronian Storage Asteroid]] on a collision course with Cybertron to disrupt the [[First Inter Galactic Peace Conference]] but the Autobots managed to destroy the rogue planetoid. {{storylink|Surprise Party}} Cybertron later played host to various alien diplomats. {{storylink|Madman's Paradise}}

Undeterred in his desire to live again, Starscream possessed [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and ventured to Unicron's head, bargaining with the Chaos Bringer for a new body. Agreeing, Unicron sent Starscream and Scourge on three labors to repair the Dark God, the last of which was to connect Unicron's head to Cybertron itself so it could become the Chaos Bringer's new body. Warned by Scourge, the Autobots planted energon cubes that sent Unicron's head flying away. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (G1)|Ghost in the Machine}}

Cybertron was later used as a neutral meeting site in the war between [[Xetaxxis]] and [[Lanarq]], becoming the point where a peace treaty was signed following the revelation of how the Quintessons had exploited both sides of the conflict. {{storylink|The Quintesson Journal}} Following the discovery and destruction of the [[Cybertronian colonies|colony world]] [[Paradron]], the survivors emigrated to Cybertron. {{storylink|Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee}} The Quintessons later manipulated the Decepticons once again, this time into unleashing the Trans-Organics. The energy siphoning [[Dweller (G1)|Dweller]] wreaked havoc on Cybertron before the Autobots managed to launch it into space. {{storylink|The Dweller in the Depths}} Galvatron later sent a [[Skuxxoid]] and [[Slizardo]] to plant [[anti-electron]]s inside [[Power Platform Alpha|a new power generator]] to destroy the Autobots but this didn't work out. {{storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}} When [[Tornedron]] was unleashed on the galaxy, Cybertron was drained of energy before Grimlock undid the creature's rampage. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

[[File:Rebirth 3 Cybertron gold.JPG|thumb|left|250px]]

In the year 2007, Cybertron was once again wrenched from its place in space when [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] and the Decepticons invaded the planet and constructed a massive [[planetary engine]] that propelled Cybertron back into Earth orbit once more. Once there, Galvatron opened the Plasma Energy Chamber, intending for the energy release to drive the Sun supernova, consuming Earth, Cybertron and everything else in one final destructive blow. [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] and the Autobots' [[Nebulan]] allies were able to stop this plan by reversing the rocket engine, which drained off the excess solar energy and channeled it straight into Vector Sigma, which used it to fully re-energize Cybertron. Its rich golden hue restored, Cybertron entered a new Golden Age. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

[[File:Methusula Call-of-the-Primatives.jpg|thumb|250px|"It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree."]]
12 billion years ago, the ancient genius [[Primacron]] and his assistant, the [[Oracle (G1)|Oracle]] were attacked by Primacron's renegade creation Unicron. The Oracle's body was destroyed, but his essence, encased within a protective shell, fled to a dead planet at the center of the universe, which he proceeded to transform into a verdant, living world.

In time, the Quintessons discovered the Oracle's world and invaded, taking control of the Oracle and his powers. The Oracle was transformed by the Quintessons into the mega-computer [[Vector Sigma]] and also obtained the shell that had held his essence, which went on to become the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Using the power of the [[Key to Vector Sigma]], the Quintessons transformed the Oracle's green planet into the metallic Cybertron. {{storylink|Generation 1 cartoon timeline (Japan)|2007 TakaraTomy Transformers timeline}}

=====''Generations Selects Special Comic''=====
At the dawn of time, what would become Cybertron was a barren rocky planet at the centre of the galaxy. Shortly after the birth of Unicron, Primus retreated to the planet, intending to turn it into a paradise. He was discovered by the early Quintessons who [[Cyberforming|cyberformed]] the planet and gave it its name. Shackling Primus into [[Vector Sigma|a supercomputer]], the Quintessons turned Cybertron into a mega-factory only for the Cybertronians to eventually rebel and drive them off the planet.

Following the end of the Angolmois Energy crisis in [[2050]], the Cybertronians retreated to their homeworld, swearing to remove all mentions of Earth from their archives to ensure no one would seek out Earth's Angolmois supplies. {{storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale Part 2|Finale Part 2}}

In 2011, it was discovered that the release of the energy of the Matrix by Optimus Prime to cure the [[Hate Plague]] had much more far-reaching consequences that anyone suspected. With the Matrix's energy depleted, Vector Sigma's balance—permanently tilted in favor of the Autobots by the existence of the Matrix—was reset to neutrality, allowing the Decepticons, bolstered by their new [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] troops, to freely invade Cybertron. Eventually, this forced Optimus Prime to sacrifice his life by merging with Vector Sigma in order to stabilize the computer before it destroyed Cybertron from within. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}}

Not long thereafter, Vector Sigma developed a new metal alloy dubbed [[Cybertonuron]], which enticed Galvatron into another raid on the planet. However, the Decepticon Headmaster leader, [[Scorponok (G1)|Zarak]], feared the power that Galvatron would gain from the alloy, and so, to prevent either him or the Autobots from obtaining it, arranged for his Headmasters to plant bombs at the core of the planet, within Vector Sigma's chamber. The Autobots were unable to stop the countdown and the bombs detonated, tearing Cybertron apart and leaving it a charred uninhabitable ruin drifting in space. {{Storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} {{Storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}}

Some time beyond the year 2036, Cybertron began to suffer from a major energy shortage.

Following the conversion of Cybertron into a technorganic planet, Vector Sigma also underwent an upgrade and effectively turned into the "soul" of the planet, becoming the ultimate authority of the planet who issued its will through the newly created [[Convoy Council]]. Tens of thousands of years later, when Vector Sigma discovered that the [[Blentron]]s were trying to resurrect Unicron with [[Angolmois Energy]], the supercomputer converted Cybertron back to a wholly mechanical planet in preparation for war. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Blue Big Convoy)|Bonus Edition Vol. EX}}

Tens of thousands of years into the future, in the era of the [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacons]], the mechanical Cybertron was reigned over by Vector Sigma, who handed down orders through the ruling body known as the [[Convoy Council]]. {{storylink|Big Convoy, Move Out}} By this point, the planet had come to reside in the center of the [[Milky Way]] galaxy. {{storylink|Fight!

When Unicron was resurrected as an energy being, he sought to use Cybertron as a new physical body, as his original body at the [[Triple Z Point]] was too ravaged to serve as a suitable vessel. {{storylink|Fight! Maximals}} Unicron was able to get through all of Cybertron's defenses and merged with Vector Sigma itself, granting him absolute control over Cybertron and the planet began converting into an imitation of Unicron's original planet mode. {{Storylink|End of the Maximals!?}} However, thanks to the efforts of [[Big Convoy]]'s unit, [[Magmatron]], and [[Lio Convoy]], Unicron was able to be drawn out of Vector Sigma {{Storylink|The Final Battle (BWN)|The Final Battle}} and defeated in his weaker form.

In [[2984]], the [[Star Seeker]]s arrived from a temporal journey through [[Unspace|transwarp]] to enact Captain [[Cannonball (G1)|Cannonball]]'s newest scheme: plunder Cybertron of all its energon using Unicron's head when Cybertron would be at peace and have high levels of energy. The pirates attracted the attention of Cybertron's elite defenders, the [[Cybertronian Knight]]s, but during the clash aboard Unicron's head, [[Cheetor (BW)|Alpha Trizer]] gave Cannonball a crushing revelation: his scheme was doomed to fail from the start because the Cybertron he was attacking was technorganic and ''no longer ran on energon'' (as a result of the [[Great Transformation]]). {{storylink|Hoist the Flag}}

===''A Birth of Planet Saybertron''===
[[File:Birth Saybertron.jpg|thumb|right|200px]]
Cybertron was originally a mere satellite, built to ensure peace between a coalition of planets. But the powerful computer within the satellite proved too advanced for it to remain in its initial form; using electromagnetic forces to draw in other satellites, it used their materials to build itself up. This ultimately led to a malfunction of the computer, and the civilizations that had built it found themselves no longer able to access it. Though the united civilizations tried to stop the satellite, it kept on growing and becoming more sophisticated, eventually plundering all nearby resources and leaving its galactic neighborhood bare of resources. Ages passed and Cybertron became a planet proper, with metallic mountains and oceans of oil. From it sprung primitive machines, which evolved into Transformers over the millennia. {{storylink|A Birth of Planet Saybertron}}

Eons ago, Cybertron was a verdant, Earthlike world, populated by a wide variety of organic creatures. {{storylink|Survivor}} This idyllic period came to an end when the first Transformers arrived on the planet, an event foreseen by the mystical [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]] that surrounded [[Vector Sigma]]; {{storylink|The Reformatting}} their arrival evidently coincided with the extinction of Cybertron's natural biosphere, {{storylink|Survivor}} and over the eons Cybertronian civilizations would build over the rock and soil with metal upon metal, giving rise to the illusion that Cybertron was, and always had been, a world of technology alone. {{storylink|The Reformatting}} Remnants of the past persisted in the lowermost levels of the planet, including stray plant life, {{storylink|Forbidden Fruit}} [[Fossil chamber|fossilized remains of the animals that had once roamed the surface]], {{storylink|Survivor}} and an "[[organic core]]" composed of [[Organic goop|concentrated biological matter]]. {{storylink|The Key}} Successive generations of Cybertronians built atop old cities, layer after layer, only to be gradually forgotten. {{storylink|The Reformatting}}

During the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], four million years before the present day, the Autobots left Cybertron aboard the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'', {{storylink|The Agenda (Part III)}} but were intercepted by the Decepticon starship ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'', {{storylink|Nemesis Part 1}} eventually coming to crash-land on prehistoric [[Earth]]. {{storylink|The Agenda (Part III)}}

Three hundred years after the end of this conflict and the signing of the [[Pax Cybertronia]], {{storylink|The Agenda (Part 1)}} Cybertron would come to be populated by the [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s, descendants of the Autobots and Decepticons. This great metamorphosis was precipitated by the "[[Great Upgrade]]," described as the period of time when Cybertron's Autobot population transitioned to Maximals; old cities like [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] were once again abandoned and paved over to make way for new cities, like [[Cybertropolis]]. {{storylink|Sparkwar Pt.

Under Megatron's reign, the villain sought to reorganize the entirety of Cybertronian civilization into one vast machine controlled by a single, overriding intellect—his own. {{storylink|Master of the House}} Megatron would be opposed, however, by Optimus Primal and his band of Maximals, who, after discovering the Oracle, befriending [[Nightscream (BM)|a survivor of Megatron's attack]], and learning the truth behind Cybertron's organic nature, {{storylink|Survivor}} believed that they needed to restore the organic to Cybertron and destroy all technology—a conflict that came to a head when Primal and Megatron pitted the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]] against the [[Key to Vector Sigma]], unleashing a doomsday energy storm. {{storylink|End of the Line}}

In the aftermath, Primal realized he had been wrong in his mission; rather, the Oracle wanted him to create a balance, a peaceful equilibrium of the organic and the technological.

According to [[Al-Badur]], the Quintessons had once served Unicron, and in doing so, they'd found the "dimensional landing" of Primus: Cybertron. Rather than alert their master, however, they decided to capitalize on their discovery for their own purposes. They attempted to subvert Primus's creations via the Plasma Energy Chamber, but the [[Trans-Organic|results]] were disastrous. Success came when they placed a shell program over [[Vector Sigma]] and channeled the divine power into creating a subservient race. That race would one day rebel and become the Transformers, but the Quintessons' influence remained in the form of the Vector Sigma shell program—otherwise known as the Oracle. Primus could nonetheless sometimes send messages from Vector Sigma through the Oracle, but it is difficult to tell the difference. {{storylink|Disclosure}}

[[File:WreckersFinalePartI-rook.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

Almost three months after the [[Great Transformation]], the Quintessons invaded Cybertron, hoping the sudden transition to technorganic would leave the Transformers disoriented. Instead, the population of Cybertron successfully repelled the invaders—and the Quintessons learned that they themselves had been pawns of Primus, who had deliberately manipulated the aliens so that Cybertron and his creations could make this great evolutionary leap. {{storylink|The Wreckers: Finale Part 1}} {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}

The planet Cybertron and its two moons orbited [[Alpha Centauri]]; a Saturn-sized mechanical world, the planet possessed an oxygen-based atmosphere capable of supporting carbon-based life. Complex tunnel networks and advanced machinery existed in the deepest levels of the planet; some Decepticons, like Megatron, believed that Cybertron could become a mobile fortress equipped with [[planetary engine]]s, and sought to make this dream a reality. {{storylink|Transformers: More than Meets the Eye}}

The earliest Cybertronians supposedly arose from the [[Well of All Sparks]], {{storylink|Conflagration}} but after creating the Transformers, Primus went dormant so as to avoid the attention of his ancient nemesis Unicron. The [[Sonic Canyons]] that spanned the planet's southern equator gathered data from across the universe so as to be analyzed by Vector Sigma, {{storylink|Transformers: The Ultimate Guide}} while Primus sealed the well to prevent Unicron from locating his physical form. {{storylink|Conflagration}} Prior to the Great War, Megatron claimed to have discovered an [[Golden Disk (ancient)|artifact]] which suggested the [[Quintesson|truth]] behind the origins of the Cybertronian species, which would, over time, lead to the formation of the Decepticons. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

[[File:GreatShutdown.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Everyone died, the end.]]

The war between the Autobots and Decepticons would eventually lead to Optimus Prime and Megatron disappearing in a [[space bridge]] explosion; in their absence, however, the conflict continued, with the Autobots and Decepticons being joined by various splinter factions. {{storylink|Fragmentation (G1)|Fragmentation}}. The arrival of [[The Fallen]] briefly forced these competing factions to work together, {{storylink|Conflagration}} and dwindling fuel supplies eventually led to the construction of energy-efficient [[Micromaster]]s—though these warriors were eventually forced to take up arms as well.

3.5 million years ago, continued energon shortages finally culminated in the event known as the "[[Great Shutdown]]," where all Transformers on the planet simply ground to a halt after Cybertron's natural supplies of [[energon]] completely dried up. This state of affairs lasted for many millions of years; it would not be until some three thousand years ago that [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] reactivated and worked to bring other Transformers back online. {{storylink|Cold War (issue)|Cold War}}

Initially, after Cybertron's reawakening, Autobots were reluctant to trust Shockwave until key Autobots agreed to share leadership of Cybertron with him. An underground resistance movement was formed and a young [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] rose to leadership of one such faction. It wasn't until Optimus Prime's return to Cybertron that the majority of Autobots rededicated themselves to eliminating the Decepticons. {{storylink|War and Peace}}

Following Optimus Prime and Megatron's crash on Earth, Cybertron was conquered by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. The planet was also the location of [[Teletran 3]], which accidentally transported members of [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] and [[Cobra]] to the alien world. {{storylink|G.I.

Shockwave was eventually defeated and the Decepticons were driven back to the [[Gladiator Zone]], allowing Cybertron to be at peace for the first time in millennia. A [[warp gate]] was set up between Cybertron and [[Area 52 (G1)|Area 52]] on Earth. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 1|The Art of War #1}} The peace was interrupted when [[Serpentor|Serpent O.R.]] warped to Cybertron and took control of the Decepticons, but he was eventually defeated. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 5|The Art of War #5}} Notable locations on Cybertron included [[Capitol City]] and the large junkyards where the [[cannibalizer]]s would reside. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 3|The Art of War #3}}

Cybertron and its two moons orbited a yellow dwarf.<ref>Author [[Simon Furman]] stated that Cybertron orbits the star {{w|Lambda Scorpii|Shaula}}, a real star that can be observed from Earth as the second-brightest object in the tail of the constellation {{w|Scorpius}}, though this information never made it into an actual issue.</ref> {{storylink|A Sunrise Dark}} The precise origins of the planet are not known; various religious sects held that the planet had a relation to [[Primus]], who either arose from the surface of Cybertron {{storylink|Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations}} or had himself created the mechanical world, {{storylink|Crisis Intervention|Timeline in Revolutionaries #1}} perhaps after vanquishing the mythological [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] at the dawn of time. {{storylink|Last Stand (Unicron)|Last Stand}}

Another theory postulates that Cybertron may have once been an organic world, one whose biological inhabitants made an evolutionary leap to a cybernetic existence before eventually discarding their organic heritage to become fully-mechanical lifeforms. {{storylink|Spotlight: Nightbeat}} Evidence for this theory is corroborated by the planet [[Gorlam Prime]], whose inhabitants underwent such a transition; after emerging from this "chrysalis state," they renamed their world "Cybertron," which raises some interesting questions about the origins of the Transformers. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}

The first known Cybertronian to come into existence was [[Rung (G1)|Primus]] himself; though later Transformers would deify him as a warrior-god, {{storylink|Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations}} Primus's only unique trait was the ability to manufacture [[photonic crystal]]s. He would be joined by four other Transformers—[[Epistemus]], [[Mortilus]], [[Solomus]], and [[Adaptus]]—and together this first generation of Transformers would become known as the [[Guiding Hand]]. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 5): The Unremembering|The Unremembering}} Together, they would go on to ignite the twelve [[hot spot (phenomenon)|hot spots]] across the planet, allowing Vector Sigma to begin sending the life-giving pulses of energy that ignited new sparks and gave rise to the first true "generation" of Transformers: the [[Knights of Cybertron]], who turned the prehistoric planet into a paradise for both body and sprit. {{storylink|Transformers: The Death of Optimus Prime|The Death of Optimus Prime}} The predecessors of [[Functionism|Functionist]] doctrine believed that, if tilted at just the right angle, Cybertron could refract the light of a sun, turning the planet itself into [[God Gun|a weapon]] to be used against asteroids and other spaceborne threats. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 3): Farsickness|Farsickness}}

Some twelve million years ago, the ambitious Adaptus would turn on his comrades; seeking to introduce the notion of war to the species so as to avoid the stagnation he feared would soon grip the planet, he battled the other four members of the Guiding Hand in what would come to be called the "[[God War]]". Although the other members of the Hand fought back, they were unable to vanquish their enemy, who fled to [[Moonbase One|the planet's first moon]], readying an [[electromagnetic pulse]] that would leave the inhabitants of Cybertron disoriented while he retrofitted the moon into a primitive spaceship and fled. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 5): The Unremembering|The Unremembering}} Though this [[information creep]] would distort reality into garbled legends, the Knights of Cybertron remained known, and eventually opted to leave Cybertron aboard a fleet of [[Titan (group)|Titan]]s. Deprived of their benevolent oversight, Cybertronian society regressed back to an era of barbarism, splintering into numerous smaller city-states and tribes. {{storylink|The Crucible}} This sequence of events would be noted as atypical compared to the development of most other civilizations, who established permanent world governments before mastering faster-than-light space travel. {{storylink|Shining Armor issue 3|Shining Armor #3}}

It was in this primitive landscape that the Decepticon [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]] found himself after the destruction of his [[chronal drive]] in 2013. Unable to return to his own time, Shockwave slew the shepherd [[Onyx Prime|Onyx]] and manipulated events to bring the [[Thirteen]] together. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}} In his new role, "Onyx" encouraged expansion and the colonization of distant worlds. Titans colonized distant worlds to expand the aegis of the [[Pax Cybertronia]], including [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]], [[Jungle Planet (colony)|Eukaris]], [[Velocitron]], and [[Devisiun (planet)|Devisiun]], all in service to Shockwave's infinitely longer game. {{storylink|First Contact (IDW)|First Contact}} Eventually, Shockwave would also mastermind the [[First Cybertronian Civil War]], {{storylink|Heavy}} {{storylink|The Crucible}} which ended in the ascension of [[Nova Prime]] and a grand reordering of the planet's society under Functionist doctrine. {{storylink|The Crucible}} It quickly became clear, however, that Cybertron's rapidly urbanizing population was not infinitely sustainable, prompting the younger version of Shockave to begin a [[Regenesis|plan]] to ensure that Cybertron could meet its energy needs; {{storylink|Shockwaves}} while Nova Prime planned a grand [[Expansion]] that would see Cybertron the capital of a grand interstellar empire, this plan fell through when he and his innermost retinue vanished aboard the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark-1]]'' in the [[Benzuli Expanse]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Galvatron}}

The reign of [[Nominus Prime]] saw the widespread automation of Cybertron's old [[energon]] mines, leading to an employment crisis as labourers lost their livelihoods. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 1|Megatron Origin #1}} Antebellum Cybertron was seen as a backwater placed by [[alien]] civilizations, owing to the cultural stagnation Functionism brought to the planet. {{storylink|Chaos Theory Part 2}}

The subsequent [[Great War (G1)|Great War]] began four million years ago, and ravaged Cybertron until [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]]'s experiments with [[Pretender]] technology led to a mad rampage that left the planet completely uninhabitable. With no atmosphere, Cybertron's surface was unprotected from cosmic radiation and was wracked by plasma storms. Transformers had to divert energy to their personal shielding in order to remain on the surface for short periods; the surface was presumably immediately lethal for humans. Gravity was also weaker than normal and Transformers needed [[magno-tread]]s to walk on the surface. The Transformer race abandoned the planet (save for occasional scientific surveys from orbit) and began conducting their conflict across the galaxy. According to Autobot command directives, landing on Cybertron was forbidden. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 1|Stormbringer #1}} However, with the resurrection (and subsequent defeat) of Thunderwing, this directive was lifted due to the unusual circumstances. {{storylink|Spotlight: Galvatron}}

Around the year 1997, the wise [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] and [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] returned to Cybertron, with a plan to revive the planet. Over the next few years, Trion worked to repair Cybertron's atmosphere and rid it of radiation, though the planet remained dead and resourceless. {{storylink|Any Old Iron}}

[[File:TheIronAge-Cybertron.jpg|thumb|left|250px|It was after the apocalypse. No one was prepared... for the Robot Holocaust.]]

A decade later, the Decepticons created the three [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]] on Cybertron from a naturally-occurring subterannean species, {{storylink|Transformers: Historia|Historia}}, and left the thousands of [[Insecticon swarm|failed clones]] to their own devices. When the Decepticons defeated the Autobots on Earth during the [[Surge (event)|Surge]], they sent their battered enemies through a portal to Cybertron, where the swarm would finish them off. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 7|All Hail Megatron #7}} By this time, Alpha Trion's hard work had eliminated much of the radiation and electromagnetic storms, so the Autobots survived their stay on the planet with only minor pains. {{storylink|Any Old Iron}} Later, the Autobot starship ''[[Trion]]'' was shot down over Cybertron, and its crew joined the rest of the survivors on its surface. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 5|All Hail Megatron #5}} They were eventually rescued by [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], leaving Alpha Trion and Metroplex to continue their work uninterrupted. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 10|All Hail Megatron #10}}

In order to make Cybertron habitable again, Trion revived [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]], who had been recently slain on [[Earth]], to help take out the swarm. {{storylink|Ironing Out the Details}} Trion then left again, with only Ironhide, [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] and a few hundred swarm members remaining on the planet, {{storylink|Any Old Iron}} which were eventually quashed by the time that [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]] returned to Cybertron, intent on turning the metal world into his first line of defense against [[D-Void]], a malevolent entity set on devouring all Transformers. {{storylink|Heart of Darkness issue 4|Heart of Darkness #4}} By the time his army arrived on the planet, the swarm had seemingly been exterminated. The arrival of Galvatron caused Ironhide and Sunstreaker to flee on [[Hot Rod (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Rodimus]]'s newly arrived ship, after which they traveled to Earth to alert the rest of the Autobots to Galvatron's occupation. {{storylink|Space Opera Act 2: Out of the Silent Planet|Out of the Silent Planet}}

[[File:TheAutonomyLesson-Cybertron.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

Led by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]], the Autobots on Earth returned to Cybertron and confronted Galvatron. {{storylink|Chaos Part One: Lamentations|Lamentations}} During the battle, Galvatron inserted his [[Darkness (G1)|Heart of Darkness]] into the remains of Vector Sigma, in the belief that this would stop D-Void from entering the universe. In reality, the Heart of Darkness was an aspect of D-Void, and doing so would allow the entity to turn the dead planet of Cybertron into a giant portal to the Dead Universe. To stop this from happening, Optimus Prime opened the [[Matrix of Leadership]] into Vector Sigma. {{storylink|Chaos Part Four: Genesis|Genesis}} Somehow, the Matrix of Leadership was able to restart Vector Sigma, and its energies worked to "reset" the entire planet into a primordial state. Almost every structure and geographic landmark on the planet was wiped out, and the only Transformer-made structure remaining was the crashed remains of [[Kimia Facility]]. Simultaneously, Cybertron itself sent out a signal to all Cybertronians out in space, telling them to come home. {{storylink|Transformers: The Death of Optimus Prime|The Death of Optimus Prime}} The only known structures that were spared this reformatting were [[Crystal City]], resurrected by [[Ore-14]], {{storylink|Shockwaves}} and [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]] which had been buried beneath the new layer of metal. {{storylink|The Last Autobot}}

With Cybertron restored, most Decepticons captured and thousands of [[NAIL|neutrals]] returning to repopulate their planet, the war was considered over. When the planet came alive again, it began transmitting energy to its two moons, reviving Luna 2 as well. Since Luna 1 was missing, its share of the energy ended up in the atmosphere instead, supercharging it and causing "ball lighting" effects to strike the planet's surface until [[Wheeljack (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Wheeljack]] got a temporary satellite in orbit. {{storylink|Stick Together}} After a brief revival of the Autobot/Decepticon war, the neutrals kicked the two factions out of Iacon and briefly assumed control of the planet under the leadership of Starscream, {{storylink|Heavy Is the Head}} who established the [[Republic of Cybertron]]. {{storylink|The Sound of Breaking Glass}}

Soon afterwards, Shockwave attempted to bring his Regenesis plan to fruition, collapsing all of space-time into a singularity to fuel Cybertron for eternity which would have made the planet the sole thing that existed, had ever existed or would exist before he was defeated by Optimus Prime and [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Dark Cybertron (IDW)|Dark Cybertron}} The destruction of his chronal drive caused the formation of a [[black hole]] that sent him back to the planet's prehistoric past, free to take up the mantle of "Onyx Prime" and shape the history of Cybertron in a great ontological paradox. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}

[[File:TowardsPeace-metroplex.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]

In the aftermath of the cataclysm, Metroplex was able to locate five of Cybertron's colonies, {{storylink|The Transformers: Windblade}} leading to the formation of the [[Council of Worlds]], {{storylink|All That Remains}} which eventually came to encompass [[Earth]] after Optimus chose to annex the organic world into the Cybertronian Council for its own protection. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 4: Perihelion|Perihelion}} When [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] abruptly returned to life, he viewed modern Cybertron as a world built on compromise; {{storylink|The Last Autobot}} disgusted, he planned to wipe the slate clean with an army of [[zombie]] Titans. {{storylink|Ten to Midnight}} Though he perished, {{storylink|Last Light (issue)|Last Light}} the Titans arrived at Cybertron and began destroying all in sight {{storylink|Ping}} before they were stopped by [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] and [[Vigilem]]. {{storylink|Rubicon}}

Earth would soon come to join the Council of Worlds as an official member state, not a mere protectorate, and various human dignitaries were shuttled from Earth to Cybertron via [[space bridge]] to prepare for the ceremony in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. Unfortunately, repeated Cybertronian incursions had also convinced [[Joe Colton]] that one day Cybertron would destroy Earth, {{storylink|First Strike issue 1|First Strike #1}} and so he assembled an [[Iron Ring|cabal of supervillains]] who would poison Cybertron's energon from within by harnessing the power of the alien [[Talisman (G1)|Talisman]], launching an all-out assault on Iacon while he and his inner team of supervillains travelled into the core of the planet to enact the plan. {{storylink|First Strike issue 2|First Strike #2}} Though Optimus Prime and his allies raced to stop the villains as they travelled to the core of Cybertron, it was soon revealed that the entire scheme had been masterminded by Colton's second-in-command; revealed as the [[Prysmosian]] wizard [[Merklynn]], he used the Talisman to transform a small fragment of the planet into [[New Prysmos]], a copy of his [[Prysmos|lost homeworld]].

[[File:FirstStrike06-scream.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]

The process drained nearly half of Cybertron's energon supply which caused the planet to "scream", the missing energon sent into space as a communication signal that translated to "Welcome. Death". The signal struck the slumbering form of [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]], and roused the ancient monster into action. {{storylink|First Strike issue 6|First Strike #6}} As Cybertron rebuilt from the invasion, "Onyx Prime" arrived alongside [[Liege Maximo]] and his [[Maximal]] hordes to put the final stages of his plan into action: {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 1: Surfeit of Primes|Surfeit of Primes}} now convinced that Cybertron itself was not worth saving, "Onyx" revealed his true identity to Cybertron, engineering a series of crises designed to break the collective faith of Cybertron in everything that they believed in. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 6: Unforgivable|Unforgivable}} Everything Shockwave had worked towards for the last twelve million years was in anticipation of Unicron's arrival: the very Talisman itself was poisoned bait; when Unicron consumed the planet, its corrosive energies would kill him from the inside out. {{storylink|Stranger Eons}}

[[File:Unicron4 Unicron Kills Cybertron.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1]]

In the meantime, however, the Talisman was still in service to the [[Darkling Lord]]s of Prysmos, who had recently come to inhabit the caverns beneath the planet, burrowing its way to Vector Sigma to complete its mission of transforming the entire planet into a copy of Prysmos. {{storylink|Schismatic}} To save the planet, Wheeljack constructed an anti-Talisman bomb that would counteract its [[magic]], and when the bomb detonated, the exotic energies had the combined effect of transforming a patch of Cybertron into a copy of Prysmos' old biosphere, while also beaming a second message out into space: one that simply said "Unicron." {{storylink|Transformers vs. Visionaries}} {{storylink|Unstopped and Unstoppable}}

Indeed, Unicron awoke and began his assault on the galaxy not long afterwards, and after destroying eleven of the worlds affiliated with the Transformers, Unicron attacked Cybertron directly. {{storylink|Stranger Eons}} Though the populace initially attempted to fight back, {{storylink|Our Finest}} Windblade was forced to call on the Visionaries, who used a combination of their magic and the Talisman to teleport the population of Iacon to Earth. Contrary to Shockwave's predictions, the destruction of Cybertron did ''not'' spell the destruction of Unicron; the planet-eater, intelligent enough to realize the threat that the tainted planet posed to his own body, simply destroyed the planet by tearing it apart, unleashing a burst of energy that ripped the planet in half. {{storylink|Road's End}}

====The Functionist Universe====
[[File:SomeOtherCybertron-FunctionistIacon.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
In a world where Megatron had never been created, the [[Functionist Council]] grew ever more powerful, to the point where they eventually usurped the [[Senate]] and functionally conquered the planet. {{storylink|The Custom-Made Now - An Elegant Chaos Prologue|The Custom-Made Now}} When the Council concluded that alien life had no purpose in [[Primus]]'s grand design, they isolated their homeworld from the rest of the galaxy to stoke the fires of fear and xenophobia, while they worked to create an army powerful enough to wage war on the galaxy. {{storylink|Dissolution Part 5: Modes of Production|Modes of Production}}

After the intervention of [[Team Rodimus (G1)|Team Rodimus]] cost the Council [[Moonbase Two|Luna 2]], {{storylink|Dissolution Part 6: This Machine Kills Fascists|This Machine Kills Fascists}} the Council turned Cybertron itself into their instrument of destruction, outfitting it with a set of [[planetary engine]]s and using the [[Warren]] to travel from world to world. The planet's lack of mobility proved a hindrance, prompting the Council to reengineer the planet so that it possessed a robot mode, cast in the likeness of the mythological Primus. With this new avatar, the Functionists were able to breach realities, and crossed over from their home reality to make war against the primary timeline—an event briefly glimpsed by [[Adaptus]], who had himself used the Warren to flee across time and space so as to prepare for the threat. Rationalizing that ''five'' Cybertrons, untouched by war, could command exponentially more power, he commissioned a planet-sized mold and created the "[[God Gun]]". {{storylink|Crucible (Part 3): Farsickness|Farsickness}}

[[File:LL23 NowWeSaveTheUniverse.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

Pursued by the dimensionally displaced Megatron and the [[Anti-Vocationist League]] back into Megatron's home reality, the [[Epistemus|Magnificence]] offered the suggestion to blow up Cybertron, though Megatron overruled it on account of the trillions of innocents still trapped on the planet. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 4): The Return of the King|The Return of the King}} The crew soon deduced a way to overload Vector Sigma, preserving Cybertron while killing the Functionists. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 5): The Unremembering|The Unremembering}} After forcing "Primus" back into planet mode, the crew allied with the Architect's forces to stage an invasion of Cybertron, battling [[Functionary|Functionaries]] until they opened twelve duplicate Matrices at each of Cybertron's hot spots, the surge of energy overloading Vector Sigma and vaporizing the Functionists. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 6): A Spark Among Embers|A Spark Among Embers}}

With the native Cybertron recently annihilated by Unicron, this world—now stranded in a parallel reality—was eventually christened "New Cybertron" by those who chose to live there. [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]] made the decision to remove the ''Lost Light''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s quantum engines to double the universally displaced planet's energon reserves. With most of the Cybertronian population now based on Earth, New Cybertron was largely left to its own devices; in the years to come, the crew of the ''Lost Light'' took up residence there, while other inhabitants would include millions of [[Lunarian]]s spawned from Luna 1's [[hot spot (phenomenon)|hot spot]]. {{storylink|How To Say Goodbye And Mean It: Part 2}}

===''Transformers vs. G.I. Joe''===
[[File:ISawThreeShips-CybertronNow.jpg|thumb|right|200px]]
Cybertron was the alternate mode of [[Primus]], one of the many living worlds created by [[Daiakuron]] at the dawn of time. {{storylink|Earth: R.I.P.}} Though none of the inhabitants of either world were aware of it, Cybertron had a deep connection with the planet Earth, for the organic world was ''also'' a creation of Daiakuron, and Cybertronian artifacts from ancient times could be found across the planet. {{storylink|Everybody Hates Metroplex}}

Originally located in a distant galaxy, the planet had been ruled by Decepticons ever since the abrupt departure of Optimus Prime, leaving Megatron and his forces free reign of the planet, with the Autobots in disarray under Grimlock's unruly leadership. {{storylink|Form Follows Function}} When Starscream brought Bumblebee's head to Megatron, Megatron pronounced that the Decepticons had won the Great War, {{storylink|The Golden Boys}} and, binding the stolen [[Matrix of Leadership]] to his Spark, {{storylink|Pax Megatronus}} he subjugated Primus to his will via [[Vector Sigma]]. Cybertron then slowly began to transform into a massive spaceship in the shape of Megatron's face that would cyberform the galaxy. {{storylink|Expelled from the Garden}} [[Psych Out]] described Cybertron as "the ultimate Transformer" owing to its constantly shifting geography though whether this was a natural phenomenon or a side-effect of Megatron's plan is unclear. {{storylink|Form Follows Function}}

[[File:FormFollowsFunction-theeverchangingworld.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

Cybertron then moved into Earth's solar system, {{storylink|I Saw Three Ships}} before it was invaded by [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]], using a combination of a "[[G.I.Rocket|green bomb]]" fusillade and a strategically deployed [[Weather Dominator]] to terraform portions of Iacon into an environment capable of sustaining human life. {{storylink|Targetmasters (issue)|Targetmasters}} Soon after, Cybertron grew a pair of mega mountains that reached high into its atmosphere. {{storylink|Form Follows Function}} Megatron then used the horns to gouge into the Earth, seemingly destroying it {{storylink|Pax Megatronus}} so as to clear a path to the Sun, intending to consume the star and supercharge his creation powers. {{storylink|Escape from Primus}} Believing Earth to be destroyed, various surviving groups, such as the [[Oktober Guard]], attempted to claim Cybertron as their new homeworld. {{storylink|Earth: R.I.P.}}

Starved of energy, Primus needed little incentive to consume the star, creating a dyson sphere from his own body to speed up its consumption before Primus was stopped by [[Atlas (G1)|Atlas]]—Earth's own robotic form. Though many Cybertronians chose to emigrate from Cybertron to various planets and moons in Earth's solar system, Rodimus guided the impaired but functional Primus back to his original orbit. With Optimus on a mission to the find the [[Quintesson|Makers]], Rodimus took charge of the planet. {{storylink|The War Never Ends}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
[[File:Beast Wars Uprising - Map of Cybertron.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Cybertron orbits the star [[Hadean]]. {{storylink|Broken Windshields}} Eleven million years prior to [[2384]], Cybertron was consumed by the Great War, its third planetary level conflict. {{storylink|Micro-Aggressions}} As the conflict escalated, groups of Cybertronians fled to establish new colony worlds where they could live in peace. {{storylink|A Brush With Infamy–Prologue}}

Four million years prior to 2384, the ''Ark'' and ''Nemesis'' left Cybertron only to crash on the primitive world of Earth. {{storylink|A Change to the Agenda}} When the two crews reawoke in 1984, the Decepticons reestablished contact with Cybertron. {{storylink|Cultural Appropriation}}

Following the [[Scouring of Nebulos]] in [[2031]], the technologically advanced [[Human Confederacy]] confined the Cybertronian race to the [[Allowed Zone]], a small region of space consisting of Cybertron and nine of its colonies. Recognizing the burgeoning human empire as an obstacle, [[Decepticon leader]] [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] conquered the Allowed Zone for the resources needed to rebuild the [[Decepticon fleet]]. With his reborn army, Galvatron launched the [[Great Push]] in [[2033]] but was ultimately defeated by the [[Confederated Terran Colonial Fleet]] {{storylink|Micro-Aggressions}} in a narrow victory. {{storylink|A Brush With Infamy–Prologue}} The humans responded to the attack by halving the Allowed Zone, the inhabitants of the soon to be sterilized worlds emigrating to Cybertron. {{storylink|Micro-Aggressions}}

At some point during the early to mid 21st century, Unicron attacked Cybertron only to be destroyed by the sacrificial efforts of the [[Point One Percenter]]s. {{storylink|The Inexorable March}}

After millions of years of war, Cybertron's energon supplies were left drained. The Decepticon scientist Thunderwing developed the [[Micromaster]]s as a fuel-efficient successor race, both sides eventually fielding them as the primary warriors in the Great War. {{storylink|Cultural Appropriation}} {{storylink|Identity Politics}} Thunderwing eventually became the new Decepticon leader and led an expedition to find the mythical [[Underbase]]. Successful, Thunderwing's power was boosted to obscene levels and making him a threat to all of Cybertron. The Autobots allied with the non-insane Decepticons to save their world, trapping Thunderwing's mutated spark and the Underbase's energies in Cybertron's [[core]]. {{storylink|Not All Megatrons}} While Thunderwing died, the energies of the Underbase allowed the core to begin slowly healing Cybertron's ravaged biosphere. {{storylink|Derailment}}

With the restoration of the biosphere centuries off, Cybertron was left a dying planet following Thunderwing's defeat. {{storylink|Micro-Aggressions}} Now settled into an uneasy truce, the Autobots and Decepticons joined forces as the [[Builder of Cybertron|Builders of Cybertron]], though their old grudges and factional divides remained. With energon having attained such a high premium, the [[Macromaster]]s wired themselves into Cybertron itself. {{storylink|Broken Windshields}} The Micromasters were fuel efficient enough to remain mobile, causing the petty builders to look down upon them as second class citizens. {{storylink|Identity Politics}}

With [[Vector Sigma]], the source of new [[spark]]s, having been destroyed in the Great War, the Builder [[Cerebros (G1)|Cerebros]] reached out to the Human Confederacy, hoping to recreate their [[Eutychus Project]]. While the humans wouldn't hand over the project's secrets, they surrendered enough knowledge for Cerebros to build the [[Energon Matrix|energon matrix]] as a successor to Vector Sigma. Though Cerebros had hoped that this could lead to a new generation of Cybertronians that had never known war, the Builders saw the new generation as a means to continue the Great War. With the the [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s as the successors to the Autobots and Decepticons, respectively, the Builders used the new generation for sport in a series of violent [[Games (competition)|Games]] fought in the ruined remains of the old Builder cities. {{storylink|Head Games}} At the same time, new breeds of Cybertronian life—[[mechanimal]]s—began to emerge in the ruins of these old cities. While the older generations of Cybertronians considered them vermin, the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]] had masterminded the process after the return of the Underbase to Cybertron's core as a means for the wounded planet to heal itself by generating a functioning, self-sustaining ecosystem. {{storylink|Derailment}}

This dystopian Cybertron was rocked by the [[Grand Uprising]], a protracted war where the Maximals and Predacons fought to topple the stagnant oligarchy that their predecessors had established. {{storylink|Broken Windshields}} Shortly after the Beast Upgrade hit the planet, [[Overshoot]] claimed that the Oracle had ''also'' engineered this war, an evolutionary step forward that would free the citizens of Cybertron from their dependence on energon cubes. The war ended with the disastrous [[Vehicon Apocalypse]], and although the [[Resistance]] had ostensibly won the war by that point, it took the united forces of Maximal, Predacon, and Builder alike to curtail the genocidal ambitions of [[Lord Imperious Delirious]]. In the end, the planet was reorganized under the egalitarian [[Cybertronian Parliament]]. {{storylink|Derailment}}

Years afterwards, as the Human Confederacy fell victim to the [[Fall of Man]], the Cybertronian race ventured beyond the Allowed Zone once again. {{storylink|The Inexorable March}} While communing with the Oracle during the Grand Uprising, Overshoot glimpsed visions of the distant future, and saw a time when Earth and Cybertron would first unite against a grave threat before eventually merging into a single, technorganic planet. {{storylink|Cultural Appropriation}}

===Ask Vector Prime===
In [[Primax 185.0 Beta]], Cybertron was the capital of the [[Decepticon Empire]]. When the Decepticons went to war with the [[Quintesson Pan Galactic Co-Prosperity Sphere]], their resistance promoted [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] to try and transfer his [[spark]] into Cybertron itself and be reborn as [[Grand Galvatron]]. As he commenced the transfer however, his spark was destroyed by the sacrificial efforts of [[Ratchet (G1)|The Autobot]] and the [[Dreadnok]]s. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/04}}

===''Of Masters and Mayhem''===
As the Great War continued, Decepticon science created [[Thunder Mayhem]], a combiner so destructive that it was thought to have destroyed Cybertron outright and brought about the functional extinction of the Cybertronian race. {{storylink|Life Finds a Way}} {{storylink|History}} In reality, the combiner, while enacting a near-genocide, had simply devastated the planet's surface. {{storylink|Divination}} The Decepticon remained there for a while before he left to destroy other worlds. {{storylink|Foundation and Wreckage Part 1: Deadly Aim|Deadly Aim}}

When [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]], [[Fractyl]] and [[Punch (G1)|Counterpunch]] were seeking out allies for their crusade, they travelled to the ruins of their homeworld and found [[Toxitron (G1)|Toxitron]]. {{storylink|The Toxic Transformer}}

Left on Cybertron, [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]] eeked out an existence before he was contacted by the [[Teklaan]]s who claimed that they could restore his world. Eager to bring about "New Cybertron", Bluestreak made contact with the [[Wrecker]]s and brought them back home, sacrificing them to the Teklaans to provide them with the information they needed to rejuvenate the biosphere. As the prodding happened, Fractyl remembered that the Teklaans' last creation had fallen victim to a virus, implanted by the Teklaans themselves, and died off in a few generations. After convincing Bluestreak to aid them, the Wreckers confronted the Teklaans only to learn that the cyberforming had already begun. After incorporating Bluestreak and Impactor into [[Wreckage (G1)|Wreckage]], the combiner destroyed the Teklaan ship, the central node of the cyberforming, and sent the [[alien]]s running. Upon leaving Cybertron, Impactor assured Bluestreak that his plan had been a good one but until Thunder Mayhem was defeated, it wasn't viable. {{storylink|Lively Pursuit}}

In eons past, Cybertron was ruled by the [[Thirteen]], who successfully vanquished [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] with the help of the [[Requiem Blaster (Megatronus)|Requiem Blaster]]. {{storylink|The Swamp}} In the age that followed, the Thirteen were known to have inhabited, and subsequently sealed away, a variety of locations such as the mythical library of knowledge, the [[Athenaeum Sanctorum]]. Finally, however, Megatronus would accidentally murder his beloved, [[Solus Prime]], and for this punishment he banished himself from the planet. The Requiem Blaster would be sealed within a dome inside the [[Primal Swamp]], guarded by a lineage of warriors; by the present day, the most recently appointed guardian of the Blaster was [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]]. {{storylink|Athenaeum Sanctorum (episode)|Athenaeum Sanctorum}}

Though Cybertron and many other planets were ravaged by the Great War between the Autobots and Decepticons, the conclusion of the conflict allowed for the [[Council of Worlds|Council]]—consisting of [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus]], [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], and the [[Mistress of Flame]]—to serve as the heads of the new postwar government, {{storylink|The Council}} while Megatron and Optimus Prime both chose to leave Cybertronian civilization to develop and retreated to the wildernesses of Cybertron to continue their lives in self-imposed exile. {{storylink|The Duel}} {{storylink|Unforgotten}}

It would not be until the events of the [[Combiner Wars (event)|Combiner Wars]] that both Prime and Megatron would return to civilization to help deal with the [[Enigma of Combination]], {{storylink|Unforgotten}} and were subsequently instrumental in combating the threat that a Starscream-possessed [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] posed to the planet.

[[File:Transformers43-Cybertron.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

Cybertronian religion held that the Transformers were the descendants of [[Primus]], who had, in ages past, reshaped his body into a living mechanical planet. {{storylink|I Have No Mouth And I Must Starscream}} At the core of the planet existed the [[AllSpark]], a massive [[spark]] from which all others spawned from. {{storylink|War's End Part Two}} {{storylink|War's End Part Four}} The first Transformers who ruled Cybertron were the [[Thirteen]]; in time, however, their numbers dwindled, and it would be [[Solus Prime]] who created a second generation of Cybertronians, the [[Firstforged]]. {{storylink|End of Time}} During the subsequent [[Age of the Firstforged]], early Cybertronian heroes like [[Halonix Maximus]] helped tame the wilderness, battle and subdue bestial Transformers like [[Preditron]], {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: Tremors|Tremors}} and raise towering works of art like the settlement that would eventually become [[Crystal City]]. {{storylink|A Dust of Crystals}}

Some time before the present day, a group of Cybertronians once used the [[Enigma of Combination]] to become [[Abominus (G1)|"The Abomination"]], a monstrous, fuel-guzzling combiner which ravaged the planet until a group of Transformers successfully felled the creature in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 1}} Over time, the Cybertronians established a planetary [[Senate]] led by a [[Prime (rank)|Prime]], who served as the assembly's "First Senator." {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 3}}

Eventually, the Cybertronian race began their [[Expansion|Age of Expansion]]; as the [[Forge Pyramid|Pyramid]] birthed many new Transformers, {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 2}} the people of Cybertron [[Cybertronian colonies|colonized]] new worlds with the assistance of many [[Titan (group)|Titan]]s and vanquished rival galactic powers. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Five}} During this prosperous age, Cybertron was invaded by the [[rust worm]]s, a species of metallivores that secreted liquid rust, devouring the planet's innards. The planet responded to this by forming an impenetrable basin, containing the worms and creating the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]]. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust I|Sea of Rust I}} The age eventually came to an end when one Transformer, [[Exarchon]], was "corrupted" on a voyage away from Cybertron, and plunged his homeworld into the catastrophic [[War of the Threefold Spark]]. The war saw the mass conscription of many Cybertronians to stop the menace; although Exarchon's forces were defeated, the cost was high, and Cybertron was left broken and ravaged by the war. To limit further Cybertronian expansionism and help rebuild their planet, then-Autobot leader [[Nominus Prime]] passed the [[Nominus Edict]], which forbade the colonization of other worlds, mandated strict laws regarding [[energon]] rationing and storage, and limited the forging of new Transformers. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Three}}

[[File:TheWorldInYourEyesPart1-Iacon.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

The ensuing era saw the rebuilding of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], the construction of the [[Winged Moon]] to provide Cybertron with a limitless supply of energon, and the great [[Tether]] that connected it to Cybertron. {{storylink|Orion Pax: Free Fall}} {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 1}} While some Transformers looked back on the past with regret, noting that their expansion had caused other races to fear their destructive nature, {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Five}} other Cybertronians like [[Termagax]] mourned a lost age of prosperity and potential that'd been cut short and felt that the Nominus Edict had overstayed its welcome. {{storylink|Orion Pax: Free Fall}}

By the time that [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] supplanted Nominus Prime, Cybertron had established diplomatic relations with other neighboring powers such as the [[Thraal]], [[Occulted Dremden]], and [[Voin]]; {{storylink|Nautica: Home}} in time, different [[alien]] species immigrated to Cybertron and established various ethnic enclaves, such as Iacon's sprawling [[Xeno-Quarter]]. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Five}} They brought with them animals like [[skitter]]s and [[flyt]]s, which turned invasive and established breeding populations on the metal planet. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Two}}

Termagax's "[[Decepticon|Ascenticon]]" movement grew to become a substantial political party that advocated for the abolition of the Nominus Edict in order to restart a new age of colonization and conquest; despite this sentiment, the Edict had indeed brought peace to the metallic planet, to the extent that [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]]'s murder was the first in living memory. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Two}} {{storylink|Nautica: Home}} Eventually, however, tensions between the Autobots and Ascenticons flared, and their early conflicts saw the destruction of the [[Memorial Crater]] {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Three}} and a sleeping Titan in the [[Cybertronian Mountains]]. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Two}} One particularly vicious terrorist attack saw the Ascenticons hijack the Titan [[Vigilem]] and use him to destroy the Tether. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Five}} In response, [[Heretech]]'s [[Reversionist]]s opted to flee the planet. {{storylink|Arcee/Greenlight: Run}}

The Reversionists soon returned to the planet however, intending to purify it of sinners, {{storylink|Gauging the Truth, Part Two: A Truth for a Truth|A Truth for a Truth}} before [[Gauge]] exposed Heretech as nothing more than an ordinary Cybertronian, denouncing his zealotry. As Heretech was taken away, some of the Reversionists opted to remain on Cybertron while the rest intended to leave once the ''[[Exodus (G1 ship)|Exodus]]'' was repaired. {{storylink|Gauging the Truth, Part Three: Moment of Truth|Moment of Truth}}

When Sentinel Prime sought to denounce the Ascenticons, the party - now calling themselves the "Decepticons" - stormed the [[Senate]] building and seized it by force, {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: We Have Deceived You|We Have Deceived You}} locking up the Senators. When Sentinel Prime managed to escape, the [[Rainmaker]]s slew him, the [[Matrix of Leadership]] and rightful rulership of Cybertron passing onto his second Orion Pax, now renamed as Optimus Prime. {{storylink|War World: Prime|Prime}} As Optimus rallied the Autobots against the Decepticons, {{storylink|War World: Awakenings|Awakenings}} their forces began targeting Iacon's [[Xeno-Quarter]], Optimus ordering the evacuation of all aliens from the planet. {{storylink|Escape Part One}} As the Decepticons consolidated their power, it was found that the [[data-bomb]] they'd used on the Titans was too effective. Fearing that the Autobots might be able to reactivate the giants, Megatron ordered them brought down. When the Titan [[Cargohold]] crashed in the [[Memorial Crater]], [[Roadtrap (POTP)|Roadtrap]] and [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]] found [[Provoke]] in the ruins, {{storylink|War World: Titans|Titans}} unaware that she had been usurped by [[Exarchon]]. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Enigmatic|Enigmatic}}

As tensions mounted, unusually intense geological activity began plaguing Cybertron, {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Two}} {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: Tremors|Tremors}} mounting to such a degree that [[Straxus (G1)|Straxxus]] began to fear that the quakes might rupture the strata formed to limit the Sea of Rust, running the risk of unleashing the rust worms into the very fabric of Cybertron, disintegrating it. For this reason, Straxxus began restoring one of the old ''Ark''-class vessels to evacuate [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]]'s citizens, generously turning over the other three to [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]] to evacuate the alien immigrants. {{storylink|Escape Part Two}} Concurrently, the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]] went rogue, sending their clone swarms across Cybertron to devour anything in their path. {{storylink|Escape Part Three}} When the Insecticons attacked the organic refugees at [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]], Straxxus launched his escape ships, only for one to be targeted and destroyed by the Insecticon clones. With Straxxus gone, the third ''Ark'' was used to evacuate most of the alien refugees, {{storylink|Escape Part Five}} with Darkmount being turned into a haven for refugees. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Test Flight I|Test Flight I}}

When the reclusive [[Termagax]] was located and was found to be holding the [[Enigma of Combination]], {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Swindle's II|Swindle's II}} the Autobots and Decepticons converged on her [[House (building)|House]]. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust I|Sea of Rust I}} The battle saw the predicted fracturing of the Sea of Rust's basin, releasing the rust worms on the rest of the planet. As the Sea expanded, the Enigma fell in and concurrently, Exarchon began his power play once again. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Enigmatic|Enigmatic}}

In Flatline's body, Exarchon recruited Shockwave, Soundblaster and the Combaticons to him. Unwilling to hitch his wagon to the Threefold Spark again, {{storylink|War's End Part One}} Skywarp teleported to Iacon and warned Starscream of Exarchon's return. {{storylink|War's End Part Two}} Concurrently, Strika led a charge against the Autobot refuge of [[Crystal City]] only to be forced into a parlay by the arrival of [[Lodestar (Titan)|Lodestar]] and [[Computron (G1)|Computron]]. {{storylink|A Dust of Crystals}} {{storylink|The Landscape of Fear}} Allowed to speak to Megatron, Optimus proposed a temporary alliance to save Cybertron, promising that the Decepticons could have the planet in the aftermath. On Starscream and Soundwave's advice, Megatron agreed. {{storylink|The Landscape of Fear}} {{storylink|War's End Part Two}}

Knowing Strika would honor both the spirit and the letter of the alliance, Megatron pulled her out and sent [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] against the Autobots, having his general conduct a bombing that placed the Autobots in the path of the rust worms. {{storylink|Radical Time}} When Termagax witnessed an Insecticon overpower a rust worm, {{storylink|The Landscape of Fear}} she hit on the idea of turning the two predators against one another. {{storylink|Radical Time}} Once the viral program had been created [[Firestar (G1)|Novastar]] was able to detonate it on [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]]. Though Optimus was unsure if the Inseticons would win, they ended the threat of the rust worms. {{storylink|End of Time}}

Shortly before the fall of Crystal City, Optimus had sent a team to the [[Sonic Canyons]] to look for any clues about Exarchon. After they were found by the tyrant, {{storylink|War's End Part One}} they discovered his ultimate plan to use his abilities on the AllSpark and become Cybertron itself. When the Autobots caught up to the last third of Exarchon's spark, [[Zetar (G1)|Zetar]] managed to destroy the Threefold Spark, ending his threat and saving Cybertron. {{storylink|War's End Part Four}}

As Optimus' convoy marched to Darkmount, they were met by Megatron's elite who refused to allow them to leave, knowing that the Autobots would frustrate the Decepticons' galactic expansion. The arrival of [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] and the removal of the [[imploder]]-bearing [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] allowed the Autobots to continue onwards. Arriving at Darkmount, Optimus learnt the last ''Ark'' and Lodestar had been sufficiently repaired enough to leave the planet. As boarding commenced, the Decepticon army attacked, both Computron and [[Leviathan (G1)|Leviathan]] falling to the might of [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]. To buy the Autobots enough time to leave, [[Scattershot (G1)|Scattershot]] called on the power of the [[Combination Core]] to add [[Pipes (G1)|Pipes]], [[Flareup (G1)|Flareup]], [[Backstreet (G1)|Backstreet]], [[Javelin]] and [[Groove (G1)|Groove]] to the mix. Reborn as a ten-bot combiner, Computron managed to overpower Devastator and hold off the Decepticons long enough for the Autobot ships to launch. Though Shockwave congratulated Megatron on conquering Cybertron, the Decepticon leader was well aware that the war had only just begun. {{storylink|Transformers: Fate of Cybertron|Fate of Cybertron}}

====Alternate future====
In a possible future where Exarchon had conquered Cybertron, the planet had become a ruined wasteland with its energon being beamed off into space while its surviving citizens were sold off to the [[Mercenary]] faction. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Test Flight II|Test Flight II}}

While the Autobots fled Cybertron at the end of the Great War, [[Decepticon High Command]] was visited by [[Gozer]] who proceeded to take Starscream's form and attack Cybertron. Though the Decepticons fought back, they found their power outmatched by the invader. Unable to flee, Megatron was approached by [[Kremzeek|Kremzeek the Scavenger]] who had come seeking the [[AllSpark]], shuttled off Cybertron by the recently departed Autobots. Bargaining with the Decepticon leader, Kremzeek turned Megatron and his inner retinue into [[ghost]]s, leaving the majority of the Cybertronian race to be destroyed by Gozer along with their planet. {{storylink|Ghosts of Cybertron Part 1}} {{storylink|Ghosts of Cybertron Part 2}} {{storylink|Ghosts of Cybertron Part 4}}

===''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon===
Long before the Great War, Cybertron was ruled by the [[Quintesson]] Empire who sold off its population as slaves. The Cybertronians eventually rebelled against their masters and reclaimed their world. The [[Quintesson Judge|Judge]] [[Deseeus]] would later claim credit for emancipating the Cybertronians, though the veracity of this claim is unknown. {{storylink|Earthrise episode 2}}

In the era prior to the Great War, [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] was a revolutionary leader who brought freedom to Cybertron, taking on Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus and Megatron as his students. {{storylink|Siege episode 1}} A great battle took place at [[Tarn-Hauser Gate]], with it becoming the largest mass grave in Cybertron's history. {{storylink|Siege episode 4}} The Autobots rebuilt Cybertron, {{storylink|Siege episode 5}} before the Transformers began colonizing other worlds, such as [[Velocitron]], travelling to them via [[space bridge|Space Bridges]]. {{storylink|Siege episode 6}}

Under as of yet unrevealed circumstances, Megatron led the Decepticons into the destructive Great War against the Autobots. The Decepticons proved the superior fighting force, setting up [[Surrender Station]]s across Cybertron. {{storylink|Siege episode 3}} As energon became ever scarcer, neutrals across Cybertron began hoarding and trading the substance among themselves. {{storylink|Siege episode 5}}

Outmatched, the Autobots constructed the [[Ark (G1)|''Ark'']] to flee their world. As they scavenged for enough energon to power the ship, they discovered the last Space Bridge. {{storylink|Siege episode 1}} After learning that Megatron sought the Allspark to reformat all Autobots into Decepticons, {{storylink|Siege episode 2}} the Autobots decided to launch the Allspark off the planet. {{storylink|Siege episode 3}}

After Bumblebee had inherited the [[Alpha Trion Protocols]], he used the information to pinpoint the Allspark's current location. {{storylink|Siege episode 5}} Learning about the protocols, the Decepticons used Ultra Magnus' corpse to engineer a virus that destroyed them, though their similarity to Autobot code led to a widescale crippling of planetary infrastructure. Upon the Autobots retrieving the Allspark from the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]], they managed to launch it through the Space Bridge, the ''Ark'' following shortly afterwards. A handful of Autobots, either by choice or circumstance, had remained behind, pledging to continue the fight against Megatron. {{storylink|Siege episode 6}}

As Cybertron's condition deteriorated, the Decepticons began construction of their escape ship, the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'', fuelling it with the harvested [[spark]]s of a thousand Autobots and Decepticons, setting course for the ''Ark''. {{storylink|Earthrise episode 2}}

As Megatron led the ''Nemesis'' after the ''Ark'', Shockwave took command of Cybertron, continuing to harvest its citizenry to keep the planet running. {{storylink|Earthrise episode 3}} The Autobots remaining on Cybertron later confronted him at [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]] Arena, destroying his facility, {{storylink|Earthrise episode 6}} and killing all present.

Without the Allspark, Cybertron's condition continued to worsen, freezing over. When the ''Ark'' returned with the Allspark, [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] and [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Nemesis Prime]] arrived to try and claim the artifact to destroy [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]. Despite their best efforts, Bumblebee succeeded in returning the Allspark to its rightful place, bringing the planet back to life. In the new era, the Autobots and Maximals kept to one side of Cybertron while the Decepticons and Predacons took the other, though Starscream worryingly noted to [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] that Unicron would one day come for them. {{storylink|Kingdom episode 6}}

==== Alternate timeline ====
In the dark future from which the Maximals and Predacons hailed from, the Allspark never returned to Cybertron with Optimus Prime and Megatron being reformatted into Nemesis Prime and Galvatron respectively and made servants to Unicron. Despite the uninhabitable world they lived on, the Maximals and Predacons managed to cease their war and continue their civilization, developing advanced technology such as time travel. {{storylink|Kingdom episode 1}} Seeking to change the past by saving the original Megatron, [[Megatron (BW)|Predacon Megatron]] stole the [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]], and was chased by the Maximals aboard the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' to Earth. {{storylink|Kingdom episode 2}} The Maximals and Predacons returned to a new Cybertron with the Autobots and Decepticons, never again seeing their dying world. {{storylink|Kingdom episode 5}}

===''My Little Pony/Transformers''===
The [[radiant shrall]]s stopped off at Cybertron during the annual migration, roosting outside the planet's cities. {{storylink|The Beauty of Cybertron}}

In the midst of a battle for a space bridge that managed to pierce the barrier between realities, the Autobots and Decepticons were transported through the portal to the realm of [[Equestria]] as a result of the machine connecting to the [[magic]] of [[Queen Chrysalis]]. {{storylink|Transformation Is Magic}}

Though it was initially believed that [[changeling]] magic was required to reopen a portal to Cybertron, [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and [[Spike (MLP)|Spike]] found a way to manage without, prompting Optimus Prime and [[Twilight Sparkle]] to combine the Matrix of Leadership with the power of friendship and banish the Decepticons back to their homeworld. After a delightful tea and energon party, the Autobots followed suit. Though Optimus destroyed the space bridge to prevent Cybertron from menacing Equestria ever again, Shockwave had retained the dimensional coordinates of the equine realm and noted it was possible to bring its magic to Cybertron. {{storylink|Finale (Friendship in Disguise!)|Finale}}

Constructing a new space bridge, the Decepticons pilfered several magical artifacts and natives from Equestria only to come to blows with Twilight Sparkle and her friends once again. In the conflict, Twilight fired a blast of magic at one of the Decepticons' prizes, freeing [[King Sombra]]. When the evil unicorn king took in his new surroundings, he deemed Cybertron a suitable place to build a new army, enthralling some of his old foes and several Decepticons to his will. {{storylink|The Magic of Cybertron}}

The young [[Scootaloo]] was among the many ponies that the Decepticons had brought to their home, with her caretakers [[Holiday]] and [[Lofty]] following to find her. After the two had befriended Arcee and Greenlight and helped them see off the enthralled [[Killmaster]], Scootaloo arrived, having befriended some Cybertronian youths. Content that the children were safe, the four adults settled down to a picnic. {{storylink|A Real Mother}}

Sombra's thralls were sent across the planet, stealing energy infrastructure from various sites. When Knock Out took Ratchet and [[Rarity]] on a tour of Cybertron's tourist spots, the three discovered that using Cybertronian technology to enhance [[unicorn]] magic negated Sombra's spell. {{storylink|The Beauty of Cybertron}}

When Sombra sought to enthral the [[Titan (group)|Titan]] [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], the Cybertronian/pony alliance confronted him, freeing his slaves with the power of friendship and overloading the Titan's systems, ending the threat. In the aftermath, hostilities between Autobot and Decepticon diminished as Cybertron began moving towards an official alliance with Equestria. {{storylink|Finale (The Magic of Cybertron)|Finale}}

===2021 ''Beast Wars'' comic===
In the centuries following the Great War, the Autobots and Decepticons had been supplanted by the Maximals and Predacons, with the former holding the majority of the power on Cybertron. When the Predacon [[Megatron (BW)|Galavar]] went rogue, his followers stole the Golden Disk from the [[Wheeljack Ministry of Science|Science Ministry]] and a warship from the [[Great Shipyard]] while destroying all the others, fleeing from Cybertron to plan without interference. {{storylink|Savage Landing Part 1}}

Following their running afoul of the [[Vok]], the Predacons joined forces with the Maximals who had pursued them. [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] and [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok]] eventually hit on the idea of using the ''[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]''{{'}}s [[Transwarp Drive]] to send a message through [[unspace]] to Cybertron. Their idea was later used by [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] who hoped that he would be brought an escape ship. {{storylink|The Beginning of the End}} After the Vok had been defeated, [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] offered the Predacons passage back to Cybertron only for them to refuse, noting that they would be punished for Megatron's crimes.

==Unicron Trilogy==
Cybertron was the body of [[Primus]]. {{storylink|Cybertron (episode)|Cybertron}} Nine billion years ago, he created the [[Thirteen]] to aid him in his fight against [[Unicron]]. {{storylink|Vector Prime: In the Beginning}}

Another account claimed that Primus was a "unique digital entity" that came into existence eons ago. To search for other life in the universe, it sent out the Transformers as explorers. One of the first places the Transformers settled was the planet that would eventually become known as Cybertron. {{storylink|First Encounter}}

Unicron made another attempt to attack Cybertron but he was stopped by the mighty warrior [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]]. {{storylink|Omega Supreme (episode)|Omega Supreme}} Joined by the four "Maximus" combiners he went into stasis lock deep beneath Cybertron to guard a reservoir of [[Super Energon]]. {{storylink|Ambition}} The Chaos Bringer however went into stasis lock and disguised himself as a moon orbiting Cybertron. {{storylink|Alliance}} Cybertron had at least two other moons. {{storylink|Titans}}

[[File:PlanetCybertron Armada.jpg|left|165px|thumb|Flaky crust.]]

The Cybertronians attempted to turn Cybertron into the centre of a galaxy spanning empire via establishing four colony worlds with the intent of using the [[Cyber Planet Key]]s to [[cyberforming|cyberform]] them into mechanical worlds before connecting them all via a galaxy wide [[Space bridge|Space Bridge]]. For unknown reasons however, the plan fell through with Cybertron losing contact with the ships it sent out. {{storylink|Fallen (episode)|Fallen}} The four worlds evolved in their own way with most considering Cybertron to be little more than a legend. {{storylink|Invasion (episode)|Invasion}}

As the millennia rolled past, the Cybertronians fell into civil war. {{storylink|First Encounter}} Seeing an opportunity at revival, Unicron spawned the [[Mini-Con]]s intending for these diminutive robots to grant additional power to the Autobots and Decepticons so he could feed off the escalating war. {{storylink|Prehistory}} As a result of their unintended sentience however, {{storylink|Drift (episode)|Drift}} the Mini-Cons soon realized what they were doing to Cybertron and its people and promptly left the planet so that their power could do no harm. [[Exodus (Armada)|Their ship]] crashed on one of the four ancient colony worlds, [[Earth]]. {{storylink|First Encounter}} At some point during the war, [[Rodimus (Energon)|Rodimus]] gathered [[Team Rodimus (Energon)|a crew]] to escape the endless battle. {{storylink|The Legend of Rodimus}} Composed of both Autobots and Decepticons, these warriors left Cybertron behind for [[Omnitron]]. {{storylink|Survival Instincts}}

In [[2010]], the unwitting [[Rad White]] activated [[High Wire (Armada)|one of the Mini-Cons]] which beamed a signal to Cybertron alerting the planet to the Mini-Cons' location. While [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Megatron]] led their inner circles to Earth to retrieve the Mini-Cons, the bulk of the Cybertronians remained on their homeworld to continue battle. {{storylink|First Encounter}}

After repeated battles on Earth, Megatron managed to slay Optimus Prime and obtain all three Mini-Con superweapons. The Decepticons set course back for Cybertron, followed by the Autobots. {{storylink|Depart}} Unicron however made his move prompting [[Starscream (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Starscream]] to sacrifice himself to unite the warring planet. {{storylink|Cramp}} Unicron's defeat marked the end of the war and both Autobots and Decepticons began working together to rebuild their world. {{storylink|Mortal Combat}}

In the aftermath, the existence of Cybertronians was revealed to the human race who sent an envoy to Cybertron in [[2012]] to establish friendly relations. {{storylink|Cybertron City (episode)|Cybertron City}}

In [[2020]], however, Unicron and Megatron returned. {{storylink|Megatron Raid}} After Cybertron had been protected by [[Energon tower (technology)|energon towers]], the Autobots and Decepticons fought Unicron. {{storylink|Shockblast: Rampage}} After Unicron's physical form had been destroyed, {{storylink|Unicron Perishes}} he possessed Megatron and travelled to the [[Super Energon]] reservoir below the planet to properly revive himself turning Megatron into Galvatron once again. {{storylink|Wishes}} The release of energon gas however moved the planet from its orbit into [[Alpha Q's universe]]. {{storylink|Formidable}} Primus trapped Unicron's essence in a star composed of [[Super Energon]]. {{storylink|The Sun}}

The conflict ended (again), the now predominantly Autobot and Neutral population began to rebuild their world. A further ten years later however, Primus's plan failed when the star collapsed into a [[Unicron Singularity|black hole]] so powerful it not only threatened to consume reality itself but warped space/time, altering the past to an extent. {{storylink|Revelations Part 2}} With the black hole hovering above Cybertron, Optimus gave the order to evacuate. [[Vector Prime]] returned to the planet for the first time in eons and revealed to Optimus that the Cyber Planet Keys were required to save their homeworld. {{storylink|Fallen (episode)|Fallen}} Though Optimus was skeptical at first, he eventually made the search for the keys the top priority of the Autobots. {{storylink|Hidden}} After the Autobots had retrieved the [[Omega Lock]] and the keys from [[Velocitron]], [[Jungle Planet (colony)|Jungle Planet]] and [[Earth]], they brought them all to an altar deep beneath Cybertron where the energy of the three relics (bolstered by the [[Matrix of Leadership]]'s energies) allowed Primus to transform to robot mode. {{storylink|Cybertron (episode)|Cybertron}}

After all four Cyber Planet Keys had been restored to the Omega Lock, Primus was restored to his full power which allowed him to close the black hole and save the multiverse. With peace now secured, Primus transformed into a new Cybertron which incorporated aspects of all four colony worlds. {{storylink|End}}

The closing of the black hole had left the Jungle Planet drifting near Cybertron. When Galvatron damaged one of the planetary engines being used to restore the colony to its rightful orbit, the Jungle Planet risked slamming into Cybertron before the damage was mended. {{storylink|Unfinished}}

With peace finally restored to the universe, the Autobots hosted the first intergalactic peace conference to decide what to do with the Cyber Planet Keys on Cybertron. At Optimus Prime's suggestion, the four great colony ships launched from Cybertron once again to continue their ancestors' dream of colonizing the universe. {{storylink|Beginning}}

[[File:Movie Cybertron surfaceconcept.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Hell on Cybertron. Image taken from New York skyline.]]
Cybertron was a world created by a device known as the [[AllSpark]]. With its power, it gave rise to the Transformers, but their civilization soon fell to war over control of the AllSpark—and when the AllSpark was jettisoned from Cybertron, both Autobots and Decepticons chose to pursue it into the depths of space.

Shortly after arriving on Earth, Optimus Prime showed [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Mikaela Banes]] a hologram of Cybertron so as to highlight the ruthlessness of his ancient foe [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Transformers (film)|Transformers}}

====''Revenge of the Fallen'' film====
In ancient times, Cybertron was ruled by the [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]s, a powerful race of Transformers who refuelled the AllSpark by extinguishing suns, constructing vast [[Star Harvester|harvester]]s that would extinguish suns to refuel the life-giving device. When the Primes visited Earth 17,000 years in the past, however, [[The Fallen|one of their number]] chose to sacrifice Earth by constructing a harvester on the planetary surface. This, in turn, would lead to the sacrifice of the Primes, who sealed the [[Matrix of Leadership]] required to activate said machine in a [[Tomb of the Primes|tomb]] composed of their own bodies.

====''Dark of the Moon'' film====
[[File:DOTMCybertrontransit.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Honeycomb's big, yeah yeah yeah.]]
At the end of the Great War, [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] attempted to leave Cybertron aboard the ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'', carrying a cargo of [[space bridge]] pillars; using these, he hoped, he would be able to teleport Cybertron to Earth, and plunder the resources of the organic world in order to restore his ruined planet.

[[File:DOTM space bridge collapse.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Attempts to replicate the giant gash from Generation 1 have gone horribly wrong.]]
Though his plan would be delayed by the crash of his ship on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], Sentinel would reveal his alliance of convenience with the Decepticons in 2011, and attempt to teleport his homeworld into orbit. However, Bumblebee destroyed the master pillar before Cybertron could fully emerge from the portal, and the planet seemingly collapsed as it fell back through the portal. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

[[File:TLKCybertronArrives.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Well, there goes the neighborhood... and that neighborhood. And that neighborhood. And that one.]]
Though Cybertron had survived its apparent destruction, the cataclysm left it condensed to a much smaller size than before (only slightly larger than Earth's moon) with several of its continents precariously attached to its core by large metallic cables. The sorceress [[Quintessa (TLK)|Quintessa]] based herself on Cybertron, along with several Decepticon forces, and opted for a variation of Sentinel Prime's plan to restore Cybertron. Instead of draining Earth's resources to revive Cybertron, she would drain the life from [[Unicron]] (the core of the Earth) to revive Cybertron. To do this, she required a staff from Earth and Optimus Prime and thus sent [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] to retrieve the latter while she moved Cybertron into Earth's orbit. As the planet entered the Sol system, Optimus Prime crashed landed on it where Quintessa found him, brainwashed him and sent him back to Earth after she explained her plan to him. Cybertron's entry into the solar system caused Unicron's six horns to sprout from Earth's crust as the Chaos Bringer reacted to Primus' approach. Human scientists tracked Cybertron's approach and predicted it would collide with, and destroy, the Earth. Cybertron hid its final approach into the solar system behind the [[Sun]], blinding the [[European Space Agency]] from tracking it before its trailing continents caused large gashes on the surface of the [[Moon (moon)|moon]].

When Cybertron arrived in Earth's orbit, its continents slammed into the Earth and caused massive destruction. Quintessa and Megatron then began the ritual, draining Unicron's life force into Cybertron. Cybertron then began knitting itself back together, its continents reconnecting and the damage from the Great War vanishing as the planet began to regain its larger size. The Autobots and the TRF however managed to halt their efforts which left Cybertron in Earth's orbit. Enough of Unicron's life force had been transmitted to it that it had healed most of its damage and that Optimus felt it was time for all Autobots in the galaxy to return to their homeworld.

At the time of its partial restoration, Cybertron possessed notably organic landscapes such as grassy hills. As these were visible from space as the planet approached Earth, it is unknown if they were a natural part of the planet or if Cybertron collected this feature during its journey through interstellar space. {{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}

Wracked by civil war between the Decepticons and the Autobot resistance, it became clear to [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus Prime]] that the Autobots could not hold out on their besieged planet forever, and ordered his Autobot soldiers to abandon their home and regroup elsewhere in the cosmos. One such warrior, the young Autobot [[Bumblebee (Movie)|B-127]] was sent to scout out the planet [[Earth]], which, eventually, became the temporary fallback position for other Autobot refugees from across the galaxy. {{storylink|Bumblebee (film)|Bumblebee}}

===IDW movie comics===
The AllSpark created a race of dimensional travelers, the [[Thirteen|Thirteen Primes]], and made Cybertron suitable for their habitation. The Primes soon discovered that while the AllSpark's power was vast, it was also finite, needing to be recharged. The universe soon provided the answer, for a nearby star went nova, recharging the AllSpark. Though the Primes could travel dimensions, they needed help locating stars and harvesting their energy. The AllSpark responded by creating two things to help the Primes. The first gift was the second race of Cybertronians, the [[Transformer]]s, who could change their forms. The Thirteen Primes ruled over the Transformers with their descendants, forming the [[Dynasty of Primes]], to protect the AllSpark and Cybertron, while seeking out stars to harvest. The Dynasty even shared their dimensional traveling abilities with the [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]]s, those tasked with finding stars. Once they found a star, the Dynasty would follow with [[Constructicon (ROTF)|builders]] to forge a [[Star Harvester|harvester]] to drain a star of its energy and send it to the AllSpark to form [[energon]]. The second gift the AllSpark gave the Dynasty was the [[Matrix of Leadership]], a key which contained the essence of the AllSpark and powered the harvesters. The Dynasty of Primes recognized the potential for destruction the harvesters presented, so they decreed that any star system which supported life was to be spared.

One day, the Dynasty of Primes and their attendants came to [[Earth|a world]] to harvest its [[sun|star]]. Just as the harvester was completed, the Primes discovered [[human|primitive but sentient creatures]]. Twelve of the Primes upheld the sanctity of life, but the thirteenth despised the creatures as insects and sought to steal the AllSpark's power for himself. What followed was the very first battle of Transformer against Transformer, as the rogue Prime and his loyalists waged war against the Dynasty of Primes and their loyalists. The rogue Prime murdered eleven of his brothers, but the twelfth stole the Matrix and hid it a [[Tomb of the Primes|tomb]] forged from the bodies of his brothers, sacrificing his own spark to seal the Tomb. The rogue Prime, now known as [[The Fallen]], dispatched the Seekers to find the Matrix. When he returned to Cybertron, he brought his war there as well, killing the rest of the Primes and destroying his brothers' [[Sarcophagus|sarcophagi]] to prevent them from returning. However, he expended much of his power in this process and withdrew to his own sarcophagus to heal. It was there that he learned that he'd made two mistakes: First, the spirits of his brothers were able to seal him in the sarcophagus, preventing him taking over Cybertron. Second, the warriors of the Dynasty had managed to save a single orphan, hiding him from the Fallen. The Dynasty of Primes passed into the realm of legend. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}} {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 3|Revenge of the Fallen #3}}

Eventually, what little the Transformers knew of their origins would be lost to time. A new society arose, known as the [[Autobot]]s. The Autobots were a peaceful people, led by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], head of the [[Science Division]], and [[Megatron (Movie)|Protector Megatron]], head of the [[Defense Force]]. The two leaders created a balance; Optimus was fair while Megatron was firm. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}} Their world's main cities included [[Tyger Pax]], [[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]], [[Simfur]], and the capital city of [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]]. Another area of importance was [[Burthov]], where the Science Division had many facilities. In time, the Autobots began work on a dig near the [[Simfur Temple]], discovering the remains of the Twelve's sarcophagi and the intact sarcophagus of The Fallen. At the same time, unknown [[Ejoornian|alien hostiles]] attacked Cybertron. Megatron had Optimus remove the intact artifact to his quarters to better protect it, allowing him to come under the influence of The Fallen. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1|Defiance #1}} {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}}

As Megatron began to grow more aggressive, Optimus discovered that he was the orphaned Prime hidden away when the Dynasty fell. Megatron raised an army, the Decepticons, and sought to take the AllSpark to conquer the universe. However, most of the early Decepticon forces left on the [[Nemesis (ROTF)|''Nemesis'']] with The Fallen and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] to seek out the harvester. With the number of Megatron's Decepticons now diminished, Optimus assumed his proper [[Prime (rank)|title]] and raised his own army of Autobots. In the war that followed, Cybertron was decimated. Prime eventually sent the AllSpark through a wormhole into deep space, and Megatron pursued it. Both were lost. Without the AllSpark's power, Cybertron became a dead world. The Autobots and the Decepticons scattered across the galaxy, hoping either to create a new world or locate the AllSpark and restore Cybertron. {{storylink|Transformers (film)|Transformers}} A number of Transformers remained, with the Decepticons centered in Trypticon (now a ''Decepticon'' capital), but this didn't last long. {{storylink|Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream}}

====Alternate timeline====
In a timeline where Megatron won the Battle of Mission City, Cybertron's status was unknown, with everyone abandoning it as it began to die. However, [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]] and a group of Decepticons remained, staying alive by using [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]]. Stockade believed they could renew Cybertron by summoning a new power source, one related to the AllSpark. They succeeded in summoning such an energy being, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 17|Return to Cybertron: Part 1}} which did enter Cybertron to renew it...

The possessed Cybertron was swiftly altered into a scarier-looking form with a large mouth and grasping prongs, turned hostile to those on it, and warped to the Sol system. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} The Autobots and Decepticons were able to destroy Unicron, but Cybertron was left in its transformed state and seemingly in the Sol system, as well as continuing to be dead and powerless. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

When the Autobots were ordered off American soil, they regrouped ''under'' Cybertron and began working on the teleportation engines that Unicron had left there when he transformed the planet. Using these, they were able to make a decisive strike by teleporting the entire Decepticon army to Cybertron, then teleporting ''Cybertron'' to the far reaches of space. With the engines now burnt out and no energy on the planet, the Decepticons were marooned there, at the cost of the Autobots never being able to go home. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 24|Revolution Part 2}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part 3}}

==''Animated''==
[[File:Animated Cybertron.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Pointier than most.]]

The ancient world of Cybertron orbited the star [[Hadean]], and was considered by the [[Autobot]]s to be one of the most important planets in the [[Milky Way]]. Its true origins are unknown, though various theories suggested that it could have begun as a planet-sized factory, a product of [[atechnogenesis]], or played a role in a clash between primordial titans. Chronometric dating suggests that Cybertron is approximately ten billion years old, with the earliest Cybertronian civilizations roughly eight billion years ago, a product of the mysterious, life-giving artifact known as the [[AllSpark]]. By six billion years ago, the [[Guardian (Animated)|Guardians]] and [[Malignus (Animated)|Malignus]] factions had colonized much of the Hadean system; by 750 million years ago, after the conclusion of the [[Third Cybertronian War]], Cybertron had become the heart of a nascent interstellar empire that would come to be known as the [[Autobot Commonwealth]] as it underwent the Age of [[Expansion]]. {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II}}

The [[Great War (Animated)|Great War]] between the Autobots and Decepticons began ten million years ago, when [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] expressed his plan of using the Allspark to transform Cybertron into an "interstellar juggernaut". {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II}} The war razed Cybertron, {{storylink|The Thrill of the Hunt}} but the Autobots finally found a lasting advantage with the construction of the [[Omega Sentinel (Animated)|Omega Sentinels]] {{storylink|TransWarped}}. Autobot mastery of [[space bridge]] technology and their strategic relocation of the Allspark led to ultimate victory, where the Decepticons were driven from the planet entirely – a unique departure from other fictions. {{storylink|Transform and Roll Out}} {{storylink|TransWarped}} Cybertron was once again dedicated to peace and an entire generation had seen neither [[armor-plating]] nor the transistor of a Decepticon. {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II}}

[[File:TFAMetroplex.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

The Autobot culture under commander [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Ultra Magnus]] was primarily peaceful, although there was an organized militancy in the form of active boot camps {{storylink|Autoboot Camp}}. The ancient building [[Metroplex (Animated)|Metroplex]] was home to the [[Autobot High Council]] and [[Guilds Domesticus]], while the head of military operations was [[Fortress Maximus (Animated)|Fortress Maximus]]. The capital of Iacon was a major location, home to destinations such as [[Maccadam's Old Oil House#Animated Cartoon|Maccadam's Old Oil House]], {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II}} and the abandoned [[Cyber-Ninja Dojo]]. {{storylink|Five Servos of Doom}} Cybertron and its citizens were very unfamiliar with and afraid of organic life. {{storylink|This Is Why I Hate Machines}} According to [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]], it doesn't rain liquid on Cybertron; {{storylink|Where Is Thy Sting?}} despite this, it is has been shown raining. {{storylink|The Stunti-Con Job}} Make of this what you will.

Many stellar cycles later, a web of uncoordinated Decepticon attacks on the rim of the galaxy began taking place, in an attempt to claim control of the space bridges and TransWarp to the [[Emirate Xaaron Spacebridge Nexus|Spacebridge Nexus]] in Iacon, to wipe out the unarmed Autobot populace from within. Receiving wind of these attacks from a [[Shockwave (Animated)|double agent on Cybertron]], Megatron sent a transmission to the Decepticon cells and ordered the organizing of the attacks, {{storylink|Mission Accomplished}} and he himself began constructing a Space Bridge to lead his armies. {{storylink|Rise of the Constructicons}}

[[File:SpaceBridgeNexus.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

However, Megatron's space bridge was destroyed by the reactivated Omega Sentinel [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]]. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part II}} The attacks were subsequently called off, much to the disappointment of the Decepticons who had managed to secure the bridges. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

When Megatron's double agent, Shockwave, sensed that his cover was about to be blown, he attacked Ultra Magnus, mangling the Autobot leader {{storylink|Where Is Thy Sting?}} and causing him to be put on severe life-support. {{storylink|This Is Why I Hate Machines}} This was not enough to save him, unfortunately, and he soon went offline. {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II}} Sentinel Prime, the acting Magnus, took advantage of the fear and paranoia created by the attack to grant himself emergency powers and aggressively remilitarize Cybertron, in an effort to combat the growing Decepticon threat. {{storylink|This Is Why I Hate Machines}}

However, Megatron, Shockwave and the other Decepticons immediately under his command were subsequently captured by the maintenance bot [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] and his team on [[Earth]], {{storylink|Endgame, Part II}} where they were imprisoned in [[Trypticon Prison]], part of the Decepticon City State of Kaon. A failed breakout attempt followed, with the Decepticons then diverting their attention to the (forceful) acquisition of Energon. {{storylink|The Stunti-Con Job}}

==Aligned continuity family==
===''The Covenant of Primus''===
[[File:CovenantOfPrimus-Cybertron.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
Cybertron was the mortal form of [[Primus]], who, in aeons past, chose to enter into a deep hypersleep as to avoid the depredations of his aggressive sibling [[Unicron/Aligned|Unicron]]. After Primus removed himself from the conflict, he created the [[Thirteen]] to fight in his stead, and the warriors successfully managed to defeat and exile Unicron, banishing his dormant body into a distant region of the galaxy.

Left to their own devices, the Thirteen began laying the foundations for a new society, only for the machinations of [[Liege Maximo]] to start the War of the Primes. The brief but violent battle concluded with the death of [[Solus Prime]] and the Liege Maximo, while [[Onyx Prime]] sustained mortal injuries and [[The Fallen|Megatronus]] exiled himself into deep space. Realizing that they themselves would need to leave Cybertron behind if the planet was to stand any chance of developing, the remaining Primes hatched a new plan to populate the planet with a race of beings based on their forms. Using a combination of Onyx Prime's [[Triptych Mask]] and the [[Well of All Sparks]] that had developed on the planet after Solus's passing, Vector Sigma itself was able to scan and gather data on all living creatures from across the universe and used that information to synthesize the first true generation of Cybertronian lifeforms: first, primitive bestial creatures, then the first humanoid Cybertronians—the Transformers themselves—and, finally, the [[Predacon (Prime)|Predacon]]s. This era would later be known as the "Age of Evolution".

Early civilizations grew and thrived amidst this mechanical ecosystem, with the Thirteen defending these primitive villages against the aggressive Predacons, until Cybertron was menaced by the [[Great Cataclysm]], which rendered most Cybertronian life, including the Predacons, extinct. In the subsequent "Age of Origins," the Cybertronian wilds would be tamed by increasingly sophisticated Cybertronian societies, with [[Azimuth (COP)|Azimuth]] and her [[Patterner]]s responsible for reshaping vast swathes of Cybertron's wilderness with the ritualistic astrological charts necessary to predict another potential Great Cataclysm. It was in this state that Cybertron was discovered by the [[Quintesson]]s, the rogue creations of [[Quintus Prime]]. The subsequent "Age of Wrath" saw Quintesson interference transform the planet into a spacefaring civilization almost overnight, installing [[Sentinel Zeta Prime]] as a puppet ruler while they manipulated the populace into an increasingly malleable and complacent state. As time went on, however, it became clear that the Quintessons had ulterior motives for the planet, and a Cybertronian rebellion that put their newfound [[transformation]]al abilities to the test saw the Quintessons and their servants forced back offworld.

[[File:CovenantOfPrimus-GoldenAge.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

In their haste to flee the planet, however, the Quintessons had left their technology behind, and Cybertronians were able to reverse-engineer the principles behind [[space bridge]]s. Using these devices, Cybertron began an age of colonization, the "[[Golden Age]]," settling worlds that included [[Archon]] and [[Velocitron]], [[cyberforming|cyberformed]] via a [[conversion beam]]. The prosperous Cybertronian empire collapsed when the [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Rust Plague]] hit, a virulent disease that corroded all metal it touched; recognizing that the space bridges allowed it to jump from world to world, Sentinel ordered them all destroyed, cutting off Cybertron from the rest of the galaxy.

The Golden Age over, Cybertron entered the "Age of Rust," a period marked by strict social stratification and the consolidation of power under an ever-increasingly corrupt and stagnant [[Senate]]. This moribund state of affairs ended when an outspoken gladiator named [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] emerged, his words inspiring Cybertron to accept a new generation of change. Among those who heard his message was the archivist [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Orion Pax]], but circumstances would drive the two friends apart, sparking the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]] that would ultimately see Cybertron poisoned by [[Dark Energon]] and rendered uninhabitable for millennia until the end of the war, when the planet was re-energized and reborn. {{storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus}}

Unaware of the true nature of the substance, the Dark Energon poisoned the planet. Though Cybertron's immune system initially fought back against the corruption, the spread proved too rapid and the planet was forced to shut down, Optimus Prime sending the [[Autobot fleet]] elsewhere in the galaxy to wait out Cybertron healing itself. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|War for Cybertron}}

In Cybertron's prehistoric era, the early Cybertronians discovered the [[Dark Spark]], purported to be the antithesis to the Matrix of Leadership. Unable to decipher the truth of its origins, or properly tame its terrible power, the artifact was locked away within [[Crystal City]].

In the modern era, as Cybertron continued to shut down following the Dark Energon corruption, the Autobots and Decepticons clashed over possession of the Dark Spark, Optimus eventually managing to use the Matrix of Leadership to send the Dark Spark off of Cybertron. {{storylink|Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark (console)|Rise of the Dark Spark}}

As Cybertron entered the final stages of shutdown, Shockwave re-discovered [[space bridge]] technology, using it to find a distant, primitive world that possessed a rich enough energy supply to reboot Cybertron. When he opened up a space bridge to this world, the tower was attacked by the [[Dinobot (FOC)|Dinobots]] damaging it and rendering the portal unstable. Taking the chance to get off-world, the Autobots raced for the singularity, the Decepticons following for the chance to destroy their foes. The portal violently consumed both ships before it closed, cutting all combatants off from Cybertron. {{storylink|Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron}}

===Aligned novels===
Cybertron's origins are lost to time. It is known that the planet predated both Primus and Unicron, serving as their battleground in its prehistory. After Primus removed himself from the conflict and created the Thirteen, the warriors managed to exile Unicron from the planet. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}} Early Cybertronian civilization can trace its roots back to [[Alchemist Prime]], who was known to have lived on the planet and shaped the development of prehistoric Transformer societies. {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}} The planet was also visited by the Quintessons in the distant past, who reorganized much of the planet's civilization under their cruel and barbaric rule of law, though [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]] was able to successfully oust the invaders when the Cybertronians saw through their lies. {{storylink|Transformers: Retribution|Retribution}}

During the planet's Golden Age, Cybertronians colonized distant worlds that included Velocitron, Gigantion, [[Hub (G2)|the Hub]], {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}} and [[Aquatron]], {{storylink|Transformers: Retribution|Retribution}} until the Rust Plague necessitated the destruction of the network. In the aftermath, only one space bridge was left in orbit of Cybertron alongside [[Moonbase One|Moon Bases One]], [[Moonbase Two|Two]] and the [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon Asteroid Belt Station]].

In the new era they found themselves in, Sentinel and the Guilds instituted the [[Functionism|caste system]] to slow their civilization's decline. The High Council and their Guards were in charge of law and order, but each state controlled its own militia. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}} But as the nameless miners resorted to [[gladiatorial combat]] as an outlet for their misery, a champion named [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] rose to seize the title of Prime for himself. Unwittingly, his Iaconian ally was appointed [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] instead, and their anti-caste movement became a civil war for Cybertron's future. The [[AllSpark]] was lost to space, whole regions of the planet were laid to waste, and the [[core]] of Cybertron was poisoned by [[Dark Energon]], the remnants of Unicron's attack, prompting the Autobots to evacuate on the ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]''. Megatron and his elite forces left on Trypticon too, now modified into the ''Nemesis'', leaving [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]] to deal with the [[Wrecker]]s. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}} The largely-devastated planet would be invaded again by the Quintessons from their Aquatronian staging ground some years later, facing minimal resistance from the worn-down Autobot and Decepticon remnants that stayed on the planet, though their invasion was quickly thwarted. {{storylink|Transformers: Retribution|Retribution}}

Though Cybertron was once a thriving world, the former battleground between the Thirteen and Unicron in ancient times, {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 1}} the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons led to the planet's poisoning, leaving it completely uninhabitable. During this conflict, Orion Pax retrieved the Matrix of Leadership from Cybertron's [[Core]], which transformed him into Optimus Prime. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}}

In the present, Megatron raised a [[zombie]] [[Terrorcon (Prime)|Terrorcon]] army from Cybertron's dead by hurling solidified Dark Energon at it through a space bridge. His plan to have them sack Earth was foiled, when the Autobots turned the Energon pump on the space bridge and caused it to implode. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 5}}

[[File:OrionPax3 Kaon.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

When Optimus lost his memories, [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] sent [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]] and [[Jack Darby|Jack]] to Cybertron to find [[Vector Sigma]]. Arcee told Jack to watch out for vermin. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 2}} They were attacked by an [[Insecticon (WFC)|Insecticon]], left behind as a sentry, and a swarm of [[scraplet]]s, but managed to get the information they needed from Vector Sigma, deep under [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]]. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 3}}

Seeking to gain an advantage over Optimus Prime and his newly acquired [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]], Megatron and Dreadwing used a space bridge to travel to Cybertron to acquire the hand of an unnamed [[Liege Maximo|dead Prime]]. {{storylink|Alpha/Omega}}

After acquiring the four [[Omega Key]]s, the Autobots returned to Cybertron to activate the [[Omega Lock]] and restore the planet. However, as they were about to activate the lock, Megatron and his subordinates arrived with the Autobots' human allies, threatening to expose them to Cybertron's atmosphere if they did not give him the Omega Keys. {{storylink|Regeneration (Prime)|Regeneration}} Prime and the Autobots surrendered, handing over the Omega Keys in exchange for the humans. However, before Megatron could use the Omega Lock to [[cyberforming|cyberform]] [[Earth]], Optimus Prime used the Star Saber to destroy it and save the human planet. {{storylink|Darkest Hour (episode)|Darkest Hour}}

[[File:Tfp cybertron restored.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

Eventually, the Decepticons, with help from Ratchet, built a second functioning Omega Lock on the exterior of the ''Nemesis''. {{storylink|Synthesis}} Following their defeat of Megatron, the Autobots commandeered the ship and flew to Cybertron. There, they fired the Omega Lock into the [[Well of All Sparks]], which healed the wounded planet. {{storylink|Deadlock (episode)|Deadlock}}

During the process of rebuilding the planet for returning refugees, Optimus Prime and Wheeljack flew off to retrieve the AllSpark, which had been removed from the planet during the war. During this time, however, Unicron revived and took control of Megatron's body, and returned to Cybertron to destroy Primus. The chaos god led an army of Predacon Terrorcons to the Well of All Sparks, and the Autobots and Predacons joined forces to oppose them. Their efforts failed, but Optimus Prime arrived with the AllSpark and was able to use its container to trap Unicron, returning his undead army to dust in the process.

Afterwards, Optimus Prime revealed that, in order to use the container, he had transferred the AllSpark into the Matrix of Leadership, rendering his own spark inseparable from the multitudes within the AllSpark in the process. Consequently, the only way to return the AllSpark to the core would be to give his own life. With his farewells complete, the Prime flew into the Well of All Sparks, returning the AllSpark to Cybertron's core and causing numerous sparks to soar into the sky. {{storylink|Predacons Rising (Prime)|Predacons Rising}}

===''Rescue Bots'' cartoon===
Despite Cybertron's isolation from the larger galaxy, some starships, such as the ''[[Sigma]]'', were occasionally sent out to conduct deep space missions and patrols. {{storylink|Unfinished Business}}

===2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon===
After the restoration of the Well of All Sparks, Cybertron once again returned to a period of peace and prosperity. Statues commemorating various figures in the war were constructed. {{storylink|Pilot (Part 1)}} A new [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] was chosen to rule the planet {{storylink|Can You Dig It?}} but they were usurped by [[Cyclonus (WFC)|Cyclonus]]'s Decepticon cell. Via the use of a [[Light Bender|light bender]], the five Decepticons assumed control of their homeworld and began making preparations for the return of Megatron and the rebirth of the [[Decepticon Empire]]. {{storylink|Freedom Fighters}} As part of their plans, they kept Cybertron isolated from the rest of the galaxy and blamed the Autobots (Optimus Prime in particular) for the damage that the Great War did to Cybertron. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 1)}} Those who stood by Optimus Prime were blacklisted and were forced to find work in the lower rungs of society. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}}

Lieutenant Bumblebee eventually found employment as a street patrol officer, but eventually returned to Earth via space bridge on the orders of a ghostly Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Pilot (Part 1)}} This act caused the High Council to place a bounty on Bumblebee's head for his illegal use of a space bridge. {{storylink|Hunting Season}} The Council also sent Jazz to Earth to respond to the distress signal from the ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]''. After capturing [[Ped (RID)|Ped]], Jazz promised he'd smooth things over with the Council, {{storylink|Can You Dig It?}} but later Drift and Fracture (and their Mini-Cons) arrived on Earth to capture Bumblebee and collect the bounty. {{storylink|Hunting Season}}

Optimus Prime returned to Cybertron aboard the rebuilt ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' to confront the new Council. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 2)}} During the flight, he made contact with several old friends, {{storylink|Worthy}} but returned to Earth in a smaller craft when Bumblebee put out a distress signal. {{storylink|Strongarm's Big Score}} When he departed Earth again, he said the political situation on Cybertron was fluid but he was working with his friends to change it. {{storylink|Worthy}} On Cybertron however, the Council freed [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]] and his [[Steeljaw's Pack|pack]] to capture the [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]] in exchange for a full pardon. {{storylink|Exiles}} {{storylink|Freedom Fighters}} When Bumblebee became aware of this, he commented on the growing corruption on Cybertron. {{storylink|Exiles}} After [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]]'s defeat, Optimus took him and [[Laserbeak (WFC)|Laserbeak]] back to Cybertron to stand trial. {{storylink|Collateral Damage}}

Knowing the people of Cybertron would never support galactic conquest, the Council developed powerful mind-control techniques through which they could control the entire planet's population. {{storylink|Five Fugitives}} {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}} The mind control was powerful enough to keep Cybertronians enthralled even if they were off Cybertron. {{storylink|Five Fugitives}}

The Bee Team eventually returned to Cybertron aboard [[Prime Force One]] only to come under attack from the planet's orbital defences. As a result of their situational ally, Steeljaw, they managed to land on their homeworld where they were soon surrounded by the Council's security forces {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}} only to be rescued by [[Dropforge]]. The High Council soon made a planet wide broadcast announcing the "glorious invasion of Earth" and the coming prosperity before the Bee Team destroyed their light bender and exposed their Decepticon bodies. When the mind-control signal had been destroyed, all of Cybertron bore witness to [[Galvatronus (RID)|Galvatronus]] proclaiming loyalty to [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] before [[Ultra Bee]] defeated him, freeing Cybertron from Decepticon control.

In the aftermath, Optimus Prime declined the opportunity to rule Cybertron and left [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]], [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]], [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] and [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]] in charge until free elections could be held. The Bee Team opted to return to Earth however as Cybertron's first ambassadors to the planet. {{storylink|Freedom Fighters}}

===''Rescue Bots Academy'' cartoon===
[[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] travelled to Cybertron to collect new students for the [[Rescue Bot Training Center]] on Earth. {{storylink|Recruits Part I}} In response to meteors heading towards Iacon City, Heatwave, Grimlock and Bumblebee had to travel back to Cybertron to help out. {{storylink|Dino-mite Duo}}

==''Knights of Unicron''==
[[Maccadam's Old Oil House]], the [[Toxic Sludge Swamps]], [[Smelting pool|The Smelting Pool]], and [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] [[Great Dome|Stadium]], all located on Planet Cybertron, were the final venues for the [[Knights of Unicron (band)|Knights of Unicron]] on their 2014 "Till All Are One" tour. {{storylink|Knights of Unicron (band)|Knights of Unicron}}

==''Cyberverse'' continuity==
[[File:Cyberverse Cybertron.jpg|thumb|200px|left]]
Cybertron's precise origins are lost to history, though evidence found by the Autobots in the modern day led them to theorize that the [[Monsterbot (Cyberverse)|Monsterbots]] and the environment that they lived in were evident of Cybertron's prehistoric era. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}

During an era that would come to be known as the [[Expansion|Age of Expansion]], [[Prime (rank)|Primes]] and [[Titan (group)|Titans]] walked the planet, but these had all faded into myths and legends by the modern day. {{storylink|The Citizen}} {{storylink|Thunderhowl (episode)|Thunderhowl}}

The Age of Expansion saw Cybertron colonize multiple planets often founded through the efforts of a Titan. {{storylink|Ghost Town}} A special class of Titan, the War Titans, carried Cybertron's conquering armies to other planets and waged wars on alien races for their worlds. Once the Age of Expansion had ended, only one of these giants, the mighty [[Iaconus]], survived to return to Cybertron. Unable to cope with the peacetime, he went mad and attacked Cybertron, only being felled through the sacrificial efforts of his crew. {{storylink|The Citizen}} Eons after the Expansion, Cybertron kept in contact with at least two of its colonies, [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]] and [[Velocitron]]. {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}} {{storylink|Maccadam's}}

[[File:Cyberverse Cybertron surface.jpg|thumb|200px]]
Overseen by the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] and/or the [[Senate]], {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} the government on Cybertron was a corrupt one, so much so that [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] was able to rally a following based on his promise of equal rights to all citizens. As time passed however, it transpired that Megatron served only his own powerlust and plunged Cybertron into the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]] to try and gain control of the planet. To that end, he aimed to seize control of the [[AllSpark]] and have it birth a new generation of troops. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Learning of this plan, the Autobots seized the AllSpark and sent it through a space bridge to prevent anyone from abusing its power. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark}} As a consequence however, Cybertron's condition began to deteriorate prompting [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] to lead a mission on the ''[[Ark (Cyberverse)|Ark]]'' to retrieve the artifact. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}

Some 66 million years later, Cybertron was still habitable but overrun by the Decepticons who'd tracked the AllSpark to [[Earth]], sending [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]]'s squadron to retrieve it, the Autobot resistance sending [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] to do the same. {{storylink|Fractured}} [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] was able to remotely tie into [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]]'s [[cortical psychic patch]] from Cybertron, {{storylink|Sabotage}} and eventually came to Earth personally to take command of the operations. {{storylink|The Extinction Event}}

After the AllSpark had been recovered by the Autobots on Earth, they attempted to return to Cybertron and restore their world with it only for the Decepticons to dupe them into thinking the space bridge had been destroyed. {{storylink|Escape From Earth}} Using the space bridge, the Decepticons arrived home long before their foes and quickly occupied the remains of their planet, taking [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]] and [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] prisoner and forcing them to send out a distress signal to the ''Ark''. {{storylink|The Crossroads}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}}

When the Autobots returned home, the battle for the AllSpark saw Cybertron be regenerated by the artifact's energies. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}} The peace would be an extremely short-lived one however for [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]], having been found by the extra-dimensional creatures known as the [[Quintesson]]s, sold out his species and planet to the aliens, leading them to invade Cybertron. As the Quintessons incorporated Starscream into their new [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]], {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}} they began draining the energy of Cybertron into him {{storylink|The Alliance}} before the Autobots and Decepticons defeated the invaders. When Starscream revealed himself, {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}} he was felled through the combined power of two versions of the Matrix of Leadership. Along with simultaneous death of the [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]], the invasion was considered over. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

In this new era of tentative peace, Megatron divided the planet in half. {{storylink|Enemy Line}} With Windblade's mind scattered following the Quintesson invasion, the Autobots searched the planet for her psychic shards so that they could repair their friend. {{storylink|Thunderhowl (episode)|Thunderhowl}} {{storylink|Alien Hunt! With Meteorfire And Cosmos}} {{storylink|Journey To The Valley Of Repugnus}} {{storylink|Dweller In The Depths (Cyberverse)|Dweller In The Depths}} The war's end saw many Cybertronians, since scattered across the galaxy, return home. {{storylink|Wild Wild Wheel}}

Cybertron's third moon, Luna 3 or [[Luna 3|Moonbase 3]], was a major location and factor in the rescue of [[Cosmos (Cyberverse)|Cosmos]] by [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] and [[Meteorfire (Cyberverse)|Meteorfire]]. {{storylink|Alien Hunt! With Meteorfire And Cosmos}}

Cybertron would soon be invaded by another universe once again. The invader, [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|an alternate version of Megatron]], came from a timeline where he had won the war in its early stages and claimed the Matrix of Leadership, since stolen from him by the primary universe Megatron, and sought his prize. A psychic shard of Windblade had founds its way within this Matrix with the ghosts within it guiding her to destroy it, short-circuiting the alternate Megatron who was taken away by his former servant, [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]]. With the threat of both Megatrons neutralized, peace reigned on Cybertron once again. {{storylink|The Other One}}

To make this new peace official, the Autobot and Decepticon leaders drafted the [[Treaty of the Wall]]. Though the ceremony was interrupted by a gang of [[Mercenary|Mercenaries]] nearly managing to ransack and destroy the whole planet, the treaty was successfully signed and the wall deactivated, reunifying the Autobots and Decepticons. {{storylink|The Immobilizers}} The celebrations were short lived, as [[Decepticon supersoldier]]s from the other dimension nearly took control of the planet in an attempt by their leader [[Tarn (Cyberverse)|Tarn]] to restart the war and eliminate the Autobots. Ultimately, the Autobots and Decepticons fought back, destroying Tarn and freeing the supersoldiers from his control. In the aftermath, Optimus ceded leadership of the planet to Bumblebee, Windblade, [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] and [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]], confident that they would be able to maintain Cybertron's newfound peace. {{storylink|The Perfect Decepticon}}

===Alternate universes===
In their travels across the multiverse, the Quintessons had come into contact with Cybertron several times, enough for their [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]] to build a collection of [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwaves]]. {{storylink|The Scientist}}

In the timeline from which Megatron X hailed from, the tyrant recognized that the rift between him and Optimus would never be mended and took the initiative, killing his old friend and claiming the Matrix for himself. With it, he defeated the Autobots and had the AllSpark create him a race of Decepticon supersoldiers before ridding himself of any "unneeded" troops. When the Quintessons sought to invade this Cybertron, Megatron simply used a [[laser snare]] to defeat them before harvesting their technology for his own ends. Cybertron was eventually visited by an alternate Megatron who stole the Matrix and fled with Astrotrain. {{storylink|The Other One}}

==''EarthSpark'' cartoon==
"Light years" away from Earth, {{storylink|Secret Legacy, Part 1}} Cybertron was originally inhabited by the Thirteen Primes. One of their number, [[Quintus Prime]], eventually left his home, seeding new life across the universe with his [[Emberstone]]. {{storylink|Age of Evolution, Part 1}}

As the eons passed, an "epic battle" broke out between the Autobots and Decepticons. The fighting eventually spilled over to the planet Earth on September 17th 1984. For the sake of the universe, Optimus destroyed the [[space bridge]] that had brought the Cybertronians to Earth, ending their war at the cost of cutting them all off from Cybertron. {{storylink|Secret Legacy, Part 1}}

{{anchor|CybG1}}
[[File:Cybertron Primus toy.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven imag— You know what, just forget it. It's not like we have rules for a reason.]]
*'''Primus''' ([[2006]])
**''ID number:'' '''00'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Omega Lock#Generation 1|Omega Lock]], two [[missile]]s, silver Cybertron planet-type [[Cyber Key]]

:[[Primus#CybG1|Primus]] was developed by Hasbro and Takara as a toy for their joint [[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron/Galaxy Force'' toylines]], but was released in Japan as a Generation 1 ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'' toy a few months after ''Galaxy Force'' had ended its run. This release can be considered a pre-release of the ''Cybertron'' toy because it features Hasbro's [[Cyber Key Codes]] that the ''Galaxy Force'' line lacked.

:Primus is the first toy representation of the Transformers' creator as their home planet of Cybertron. In planet mode, he is considerably more detailed than [[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|''Armada'']] [[Unicron/toys#Armada|Unicron]], with visible cities, including [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], based upon its appearance in the [[DK Publishing]] book, ''[[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide]]'', and [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]], specifically [[Kolkular]], as seen in ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]''. On the "bottom" of the planet mode, there are four hard rubber legs, molded to be shaped like towers, allowing Primus to be displayed in planet mode, yet not require a flat base as Unicron did.

:Primus's transformation is unusual, in many ways similar to a [[Powermaster]], in that he requires the owner to insert his accompanying Omega Lock accessory into several special ports around the planet, then manipulate it to unlock his parts and transform him. When the Omega Lock is inserted into the "top" of his planet mode and pulled back, a transforming sound is heard, and two spring-loaded missile-firing "Stellar Converter Cannons" swing out. When it is inserted into his chest and pushed up, his head is revealed, his shoulder-pads pop-up, his eyes glow red, and a laser-type sound effect is played. The Lock itself lights up red when it is inserted into any of the ports.

: In [[robot mode]], Primus resembles both the ''[[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Neo (franchise)|Beast Wars Neo]]'' Unicron prototype as well as [[Don Figueroa]]'s Primus concept, created for ''The War Within'' and used in ''The Ultimate Guide''. He is bristling with weaponry in this mode, with the Stellar Converter Cannons ending up on his shoulders, and the Omega Lock revealing several banks of Gatling guns, lasers, and missiles in his shins and legs. Each of his legs also contains extendable [[Articulation|articulated]] "manipulator arms".

:Primus also has what might charitably be called a third mode—a "battle station" mode, which is basically formed by transforming the figure halfway and leaving the head down and the legs backward. It features no dedicated parts or transformation steps, making it very obvious that it was created after the fact. It looks kinda like the ''[[USS Enterprise|Enterprise]]''... backwards.

:In any mode, he is armed with two double-barreled cannons which pop-up and extend when a Cyber Key is inserted. He has a special silver Cybertron-type Cyber Key, with the key code '''sp8u''' [[tampograph]]ed onto the back. His Omega Lock also features four slots at its base, which are meant to accommodate the four [[Cyber Planet Key]]s, although inserting them does not activate any features. There are also nine inactive Mini-Con [[5 mm post|5 mm]] [[powerlinx]] posts on his person, including two on the claw arms on his legs.

**''Accessories:'' [[Omega Lock#Cybertron|Omega Lock]], two missiles, silver Cybertron planet-type Cyber Key, [[Unicron/toys#PrimusUnicronHead|Unicron head]] (second wave only)

:''Cybertron'' "[[Primus#Cybertron|Cybertron Primus]]" is the North American version of Supreme Class Primus, released a few months after the Japanese version. The toys are identical.

:In North America, Cybertron Primus was initially released in the second wave of ''Cybertron'' Supreme Class toys. This version came packaged with a very creepy "battle damaged" Unicron head based upon his Armada appearance, whereas the following wave did not come with the Unicron head. Unusually, both waves ended up shipping simultaneously.

*'''Cybertron Primus''' (Supreme Class, 2006)
**''Accessories:'' [[Omega Lock#Walmart|Omega Lock]], two missiles, silver Cybertron planet-type Cyber Key

:A later version of Supreme Class [[Primus#Walmart|Cybertron Primus]] was [[exclusive]] to [[Walmart]] as a [[Black Friday (event)|Black Friday]] 2006 special, and included four Mini-Cons: [[Strongarm (Cybertron)|Strongarm]], [[Knockdown (Cybertron)|Knockdown]], [[Nightscream (Cybertron)|Nightscream]], and [[Offshoot (Cybertron)|Offshoot]].

*'''Creator Primus''' ([[2010]])
**''Accessories:'' [[Omega Lock#2010|Omega Lock]], two missiles, clear Cybertron planet-type Cyber Key

:To celebrate the year 2010, Takara [[redeco]]ed the Supreme Class Primus toy and released him in TakaraTomy's [[Transformers (2010 toyline)#TakaraTomy Welcome to Transformers 2010 campaign|''Welcome to Transformers 2010'' campaign]], being packaged in a special box that is meant to go with the [[Unicron/toys#Transformers (2010)|Unicron]] toy released the same year. "[[Primus#2010|Creator Primus]]" is primarily metallic gunmetal in planet mode, with metallic blue robot parts, and a large number of black paint washes here and there. His Omega Lock is now blue.

:Primus comes with a [[retool]]ed Cybertron-style Cyber Key which was originally available with both [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#CybDx|Cybertron Planet Deluxe Class Optimus Prime]] and [[Demolishor (Armada)#Cybertron 2|Cybertron Planet Deluxe Class Demolishor]]. This Cyber Key features a "smooth" central area with no molded [[insignia]], and a Mini-Con-style Powerlinx socket on the back. The Cyber Key included with this figure is entirely unpainted, aside from the [[tampograph]]ed Autobot symbol at the center.

*'''Cybertron''' ([[2017]])
**''Accessories:'' [[Omega Lock]], two missiles, Autobot Cybertron-type Cyber Key

:''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|The Last Knight]]'' Cybertron is a redeco of the Supreme Class Primus mold. Contrary to [[stock photography]], which depict the Matrix-styled Cyber Key originally sold with ''Cybertron'' Leader Class Optimus Prime, it instead comes with the standard Autobot Cybertron Cyber Key, just as the older releases of the mold did. It is advertised on the box as having a third mode, "Defense Mode", that like his Battle Station mode appears to be an intermediate between his robot and planet modes. This figure was exclusive to [[Toys"R"Us]] under the ''Mission to Cybertron'' banner. As the rest of the toys under this banner, he has decodeable [[Cyberglyphics]] on his body that spell out '''CYBERTRON''' and two cards that can form a bigger picture of Optimus and Megatron fighting on Cybertron, with Cyberglyphic writing on the back.

:This toy was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Blue Planet (GS)|Neo Primus]].

==Notes==
[[File:Planet scale.jpe|thumb|upright=1.9]]
*The name "Cybertron" was used by Marvel Comics long before the Transformers series came about. In issue 48 of the original ''X-Men'' title (released in September 1968), a computer named Computo created a race of robots named the "Cybertrons".<ref>[http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix4/computoxm.htm Computo and the "Cybertrons" at the Appendix to the Handbook of the Marvel Universe]</ref>
*The size of the planet Cybertron varies between different continuities. In one, the diameter of the planet is smaller than Earth's while the Marvel comics describe it as "Saturn-sized," placing its diameter at around 120,000 km.<ref>[http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/TF/bible/wottf.html World of TRANSFORMERS]</ref> We can probably lay these at the feet of Primus, who is a god after all, and can decide to be whatever size he wants.
*Towards the end of the original comic run, Blaster was asked in the [[Letters page (Marvel UK)|UK Letters Page]] whether Cybertron would be turned into a Transformer. His response was "No. More likely it will turn into a rapidly expanding ball of component molecules, the way things are going at the moment". [[:File:Cybertron Primus toy.jpg|Oh, what fools time makes of us all]].<ref>[http://transfans.co.uk/media/2KX/media/comics/the_transformers_uk/darnnblast/Issue323.jpg Letters page for Marvel UK Issue #323]</ref>
*Cybertron's "gashed" moon, often glimpsed during the course of ''Beast Machines'', is heavily based on one side of a modern sculpture by Arnaldo Pomodoro, "Sphere with Sphere" ("Sfera con Sfera"), that can be found in the Vatican City's Courtyard of the Pinecone.<ref>[http://www.bluffton.edu/~sullivanm/italy/rome/pomodoro/0003.jpg Photo of ''Sfera con Sfera'']</ref> See, kids? Transformers IS educational.
*In the Japanese Headmasters continuity, the planet is repeatedly called ''Cyberton''. This is most likely due to bad translation.
*A [[Hasbro Pulse#HasLab|HasLab]] Cybertron/Primus was considered at one point.<ref>{{citesocial|link=https://twitter.com/ZakuFan0079/status/1586339124700925952|quote=Have considered doing #HasLab Cybertron/Primus.

'''Cybertron''' is the home planet of the [[Transformer]]s and (usually) the body of their creator, [[Primus]]. Cybertron is ([[Beast Machines: Transformers (cartoon)|almost]] [[Transformers: Universe (comic)|always]]) a shining metal, technological world; a planet of towering future cities without end and vast metallic plains, spiraling metal mountains and bottomless neon-lit chasms. Battling over control of Cybertron and its resources is frequently the motivation for, or origin of, the Transformers' epic wars. Beyond these facts much about Cybertron can differ between continuities, see individual entries below.

[[File:ThePrimalScream-aworldhecalledcybertron.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Cybertron was the adopted form of the lord of the light gods [[Primus]], who trapped himself and [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] in barren asteroids which they then shaped into their physical forms. While Unicron turned his prison into a transformable, humanoid body, Primus reformed himself into a vast [[Saturn]]-sized machine-world, home for a [[Transformer|robotic race]] he created to fight Unicron with similar [[transformation]] abilities. {{storylink|The Primal Scream}}

It has been suggested that the [[Demon]]s in the darkness were the world's original inhabitants, locked away beneath the world by Primus, though this remains unconfirmed.

Aside from the Transformers, the world seems to possess the mechanical equivalent of plant and animal life, though the exact nature and origin of this lower "life" has never been examined in detail. This version of Cybertron has rough hewn [[Manganese Mountains|mountain ranges]] and great [[Rust Sea|seas]]. (Though of note these seas are not made of water. Liquid water is so rare on Cybertron as to be thought a mythical substance. Alternative substances these bodies are filled with are mercury {{storylink|The Smelting Pool!}} and liquid helium {{storylink|The Primal Scream}}/{{storylink|Letters page (Marvel UK)|Darn 'n' Blast #303}}) The atmosphere and temperature on most of the surface is such that human life can survive unaided.

[[File:Marvel issue 1 Cybertron.jpg|upright=1.4|thumb|left|Just another Alpha Centauri sunrise.]]

In its earliest recorded era Cybertron orbited [[Alpha Centauri]], and the Transformers were at peace. {{storylink|The Transformers (issue)|The Transformers}} ''From an unknown point of time, Cybertron was ruled by the [[Overlord (rank)|Overlords]], a governing council of absolute rulers. Over time, their power and number dwindled, until Cybertron was composed of multiple city-states who were constantly clashing with each other; the key three powers were [[Vos (polity)|Vos]], [[Tarn (polity)|Tarn]] and [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. While all the major cities were using their might to pork energy at the expense of others, Iacon did ration theirs out to neighbouring smaller cities. Tarn and Vos, by comparison, built up vast armies. In an attempt to lessen growing hostilities caused by the splintering governments and the dwindling resources on Cybertron, the last Overlord started the [[Games (competition)|Games]]: an inter-city [[gladiatorial combat|gladiatorial tournament]]. This allowed the population to exorcise their hostilities, and soon the vicious athlete [[Megatron (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Megatron]] had a cult of personality based around him and his feats. He built this up, quietly planning to unite Cybertron under his own rule and turn it into a mighty cosmic dreadnought! One of his great rivals was Optimus Prime, the champion of Iacon.''

''Vos — ruled by a [[Starscream (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Starscream]]-headed criminal syndicate — sent its athletic team to bomb Tarn (ruled by [[Shockwave (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Shockwave]]) and finger Iacon as the culprit. As with all plans by Starscream, this cocked up — Tarn realised Vos had attacked it, and war broke out that devastated both cities. Iacon happily let its rivals beat on each other. During the conflict, Optimus Prime tried to get the Overlord to safety but Megatron secretly ensured the leader starved to death; once the war ended, Megatron used his fame and charisma to convince the war's survivors that Iacon was at fault for not stepping in to prevent the war, and that Iacon was the enemy. This angry mass became the first Decepticons.'' {{storylink|State Games}}

[[File:Generics marvel 1.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]

Megatron rallied his army to march on the Autobot cities, conquering large swaths of Cybertron until [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Optimus Prime]] arose from the Autobots ranks to match his old foe. Megatron's ultimate aim was to turn Cybertron into a "cosmic dreadnought", intending to use his homeworld as a galaxy conquering warship. {{storylink|The Transformers (issue)|The Transformers}} ''To achieve this, Megatron constructed a prototype set of [[planetary engine]]s in [[Kalis]].'' {{storylink|Meltdown!}}

Before Megatron could achieve his dream, the sheer firepower unleashed by the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]] tore Cybertron from its orbit and sent it hurtling aimlessly throughout the cosmos. When it passed through the [[Solar System|Sol system]], the [[asteroid belt]] threatened to destroy Cybertron forcing the Autobots to use the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]] to clear a path for their world. Though they were successful, they were ambushed by [[Decepticon]]s led by Megatron, and their battle ended with a crash-landing on Earth that left all the combatants deactivated. Their compatriots on Cybertron mourned their loss but continued the wars. {{storylink|The Transformers (issue)|The Transformers}}

''The young warlord [[Trannis]] seized on his opportunity and assumed command of the Decepticon forces, reorganizing the army and conquering all but [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. After a long stalemate, Trannis decided "screw it" and razed Iacon, finally putting Cybertron under Decepticon rule. As the centuries passed, Trannis grew complacent in his rule allowing the [[Wrecker]]s to assassinate him which only served to allow for the more brutal [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]] to take command.'' {{storylink|Cybertron: The Middle Years!}}

[[File:The Smelting Pool! The Dead End.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

By [[1985]], the Autobots had been forced into guerrilla warfare against their foes. When the Earth-bound Transformers contacted their homeworld, the Decepticons made plans to connect the two planets via [[space bridge]]. {{storylink|The Smelting Pool!}} Though [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]]'s resistance cell managed to destroy the bridge and kill Straxus, they were left stranded on Earth. {{storylink|The Bridge to Nowhere!}}

[[File:Edgeofextinction-someonefight.jpg|right|thumb|upright=1.1|Don't worry, if Unicron eats this Cybertron, Marvel can xerox another copy of the model sheet.]]

After Optimus Prime's physical demise, Megatron went properly off his rocker and blew up the space bridge he was standing on, {{storylink|Gone but Not Forgotten!}} which transported him to the [[Dead End (place)|Dead End]] on Cybertron, spending the next few years as a mindless [[Empty]]. {{storylink|The Resurrection Gambit!}}

Circa [[1990]], members of the Ark crew fought with the [[Mayhem Attack Squad]] in a chamber containing the giant head of Primus. A stray shot hit the god's face, and he awoke with a scream that alerted Unicron to his location. {{storylink|The Primal Scream}}

When the Chaos Bringer arrived, the Autobots and Decepticons united against him, but the battle still wreaked havoc on the planet. Unicron was defeated by the opening of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]], but only after he'd already destroyed Primus. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}} In the aftermath, Cybertron suffered storms and earthquakes that many believed would tear the world apart. {{storylink|Exodus!}} The remaining Transformers evacuated, but Cybertron was ultimately saved by the united efforts of Optimus Prime and the [[Neo-Knights]] who awakened the [[Last Autobot]]. {{storylink|The Last Autobot?}} The ancient steward revealed that upon the Matrix's opening, the planet had been bathed in its energy and was in fact healing itself. After he guided the process in a steady manner, he and Prime recalled the Autobots before returning the humans to Earth and finally bringing peace to the metallic planet. {{storylink|End of the Road! (US)|End of the Road!}}

====Significant locations====
*Cybertron has two moons. {{storylink|The Bridge to Nowhere!}}
*Cybertron was historically organized into city-states, the largest and most important being [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. Others have included [[Kalis]], [[Tarn (polity)|Tarn]], and [[Vos (polity)|Vos]]. Within the province of [[Polyhex]] was the Decepticon stronghold called [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]].
*Beneath the [[Mutant (G1)|Mutant]] filled sewers, the [[Demon|Demons in the Darkness]] were locked away.
*At the center of this Cybertron there was a room with a huge head of Primus on the wall where he slept and was watched over by the [[Keeper (Transformer)|Keeper]]. Somewhere within the depths of Cybertron could also be found a chamber containing the [[Last Autobot]].
{{-}}

====''Regeneration One''====
[[File:NaturalSelectionPart4-demons.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]
Before creating the Cybertronians, [[Primus]] created the [[Demon]]s as a first run. The creatures' free will however caused them to turn each other and Primus attempted to wipe the slate clean. Though most perished, a few survived beneath Cybertron's surface, unnoticed by the Cybertronians who took their place. {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Four}}

Prior to the Great War, Cybertron had trade relations with other mechanical planets. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 1}}

As Cybertron reconstructed itself following Unicron's defeat, the [[Dark Matrix]] entity merged itself with the planet infecting every crack and becoming one with it as Primus had done before. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 5}} After the end of the Great War, the [[Pax Cybertronia]] was signed which brought peace to the planet. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 1}}

[[File:WarToEndAllWarsPart5-itneverends.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

After 21 years of relative peace, however, the planet was again thrown into the fire by the machinations of the Dark Matrix entity, {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 5}} marked by the destruction of the Last Autobot. {{storylink|Counterpoint}} After learning that Megatron still lived and was wreaking havoc on Earth, Optimus left the planet under [[Hot Rod (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Hot Rod]]'s leadership. {{storylink|Loose Ends, Part 3}} [[Scorponok (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Scorponok]] planned to use a [[Gene Key]] to turn all on the planet into Decepticons.
{{storylink|Natural Selection, Part One}} Though the Decepticon was halted, his scheme had caused great damage to Cybertron, {{storylink|Natural Selection, Part Five}} with many turning themselves in or asking to be prosecuted for war crimes. {{storylink|Destiny, Part One}} Cybertron however was soon invaded by Bludgeon's ''[[Warworld]]'', {{storylink|Destiny, Part Three}} which soon turned into all out war before the [[Wrecker]]s destroyed the ship. {{storylink|Destiny, Part Five}}

As Cybertron began (another) cleanup, rogue senator [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] arrived, {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 1}} and offered to integrate Cybertron into the [[Hub (G2)|Hub Network]]. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 2}} The Autobots soon went to war with the Hub and while they were offworld, the Dark Matrix struck out on Cybertron, turning everyone on the planet into [[shadow-leech]]es. Hot Rod, now Rodimus Prime, eventually realized the Dark Matrix creature had been posing as Primus and confronted it in [[Zero Space]]. There, Optimus Prime revealed the entity's plan to Rodimus and that the only way to prevent it was to sever their own reality from the multiverse which Rodimus reluctantly did. Cut off from Primus, Cybertron and its people became mortal, with the latter abandoning the planet in the aftermath. When Rodimus Prime returned to Cybertron after untold eons to finally die, the last vestiges of his Spark energy flowed to one of the stasis pods inhabited by the Demons and [[Botanica (BM)|a new breed of Cybertronian]] emerged to tame the planet. {{storylink|The War to End All Wars, Part 5}}

====''Transformers '84''====
After Cybertron had been ripped from its orbit, Shockwave test fired a [[planetary engine|planetary turbine]] that directed the planet towards the dangerous [[Stellae Cimeterium]] to try and have Megatron refocus on [[Project Dreadnought]] to no avail. {{storylink|Secrets & Lies issue 1|Secrets & Lies #1}}

Despite this, Optimus Prime felt that Megatron represented the greatest threat to Cybertron, not least because Cybertron's errant course could be halted by a series of controlled explosions, and launched the Ark in an attempt to lure [[Decepticon High Command]] off Cybertron forever, entrusting [[Punch (G1)|Punch]] to ensure that Megatron never saw their home planet again, so that the Autobot army could have a fighting chance. {{storylink|Transformers '84 issue 0|Transformers '84 #0}}

After clearing away the [[asteroid belt]] that threatened Cybertron, Optimus crashed the Ark on Earth once it had been boarded by the Decepticons. {{storylink|Secrets & Lies issue 2|Secrets & Lies #2}} Despite this, the situation on Cybertron deteriorated for the Autobot army, [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]] emerging as the ''de facto'' [[Decepticon leader]] and leading a brutal campaign against the remaining Autobots. Once he was secure in his power, he gave Counterpunch the clearance to reactivate Project Dreadnought. Punch brought the information back to the Autobots who formed the [[Wrecker]]s to end Dreadnought. {{storylink|Secrets & Lies issue 3|Secrets & Lies #3}}

Despite coming up against [[Abominus (G1)|Abominus]], the Wreckers succeeded in destroying Project Dreadnought, leaving Cybertron to continue its errant course throughout the cosmos. With the Decepticons firmly in control of the planet, the Autobots opted for a decentralized approach to warfare under a shared high command. {{storylink|Secrets & Lies issue 4|Secrets & Lies #4}}

[[File:Cybertron-mtmte-actioncards1.jpg|left|thumb|250px|And that, my friends, is when you say "Look out below!"]]

Cybertron appeared [[Scale|considerably smaller than the planet Earth]]. Entirely metallic on the surface, some of the [[Organic core|lowest levels]] of Cybertron consisted of rock and dirt, suggesting an organic beginning to the planet. Its gravity was light enough that [[human]]s were able to traverse the surface without any trouble, and it possessed a breathable atmosphere. {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 2}} [[Water]], or at least a substance resembling it, was in evidence on the planet—lakes and rivers have been shown to exist, albeit sparingly. {{storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}} {{storylink|War Dawn (episode)|War Dawn}} Many levels below the surface was the energy-furnace, the [[Plasma Energy Chamber]], {{storylink|The Rebirth}} and at the heart of the planet was the spherical mega-computer, [[Vector Sigma]]. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1}}

[[File:G1 Cybertron's galaxy.jpg|upright=1.66|thumb|LOOK HOW LOUD I HAVE TO YELL!]]
Cybertron was orbited by at least three unnamed moons, but its own place in the cosmos appears unfixed—in [[1984]], it was clearly shown to exist outside of the [[Milky Way]]; on the cusp of an entirely different galaxy, in fact. {{storylink|Roll for It}} Nine million years prior, however, [[Starscream (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Starscream]] and [[Jetfire (G1)|Skyfire]] had been able to fly from their home planet to Earth under their own power, {{storylink|Fire in the Sky}} suggesting that it may drift freely through space, and had been passing through the Sol System at that point, going on to drift out of the galaxy over the ensuing millennia.

If the assorted colourful exclamations made by numerous Transformers are anything to go by, Cybertron also played host to [[:Category:Cybertronic wildlife|a vast array of fauna]], including but not limited to: [[antroid]]s, [[bolt-bat]]s, [[cyber-duck]]s, [[dynametal duck]]s, [[electro-toad]]s, [[glitch-mouse|glitch-mice]], [[guinea pigatron]]s, [[helio-hamster]]s, [[hydroweasel]]s, [[photovoltaic pussycat]]s, [[pigeonoid]]s, [[retrorat]]s, [[robo-rat]]s, [[sheepacron]]s, [[Titanium moose-bot|titanium moose-bots]], [[turbofox]]es, [[zap-mouse|zap-mice]] and [[roboto-possum]]s.

Though Cybertron's precise origins are unknown, twelve million years prior to [[2006]], the planet was used by the [[Quintesson]]s as a mega-factory. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} Their first creations were the [[Trans-Organic]]s, monstrous fusions of organic flesh and Cybertronian metal. Deeming them as failures, the Quintessons destroyed what creatures they could and sealed away the seven they could not in the [[Hibernation Chamber]]. {{storylink|The Dweller in the Depths}} Dispensing with the organic, the Quintessons manufactured two lines of purely mechanical creations, "consumer goods" and "military hardware". Having done too good a job however, the robots evolved into fully sentient creatures that understood cruelty and began a revolt against the Quintessons. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} In the [[Autobot Rebellion]] that followed, the Quintessons sent their [[Dark Guardian]]s out to do the actual fighting while they remained safe in their stronghold of [[Hive City]]. When the rebel leader [[Alpha Trion (G1)|A-3]] turned his [[Coder Remote]] against the Dark Guardians, {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming (episode)|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}} the Quintesson rule collapsed and they were forced off Cybertron.

[[File:Ffod4 early soldiers.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

With the Quintessons gone, the Autobots built a peaceful society but this new peace was short-lived. The military hardware line had evolved into the [[Decepticon]]s and began a war of conquest under the rule of [[Trannis]]. Better suited for warfare, the Decepticons destroyed two [[Guardian Prime|Autobot]] [[Zeta Prime (G1)|leaders]] until [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] developed [[transformation]] technology. With this advantage, the Autobots thought themselves victorious and brought about the [[Golden Age]].

Eventually, however, the Decepticons adopted transformation as well, along with [[robot mode]] flight, and around nine million years ago, the creation of the Decepticon [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] re-ignited the war on Cybertron. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} Megatron rallied like-minded individuals to his cause, and brainwashed others into his service, {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme (episode)|The Secret of Omega Supreme}} quickly killing the current Autobot leader in a strike on one of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]'s outer cities. With this act kept out of the public knowledge, rumors circulated as Autobot machinesmith [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] worked diligently on a new process to reconstruct Autobots into battle-hardy configurations for the war he knew was coming. That war finally erupted in full when Megatron fatally injured a naive young dock worker, Orion Pax, and Alpha Trion made him the first subject of his new process, reconstructing him into [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]], who would lead the Autobots in the [[Great War (G1)|Third Cybertronian War]]. {{storylink|War Dawn (episode)|War Dawn}}

[[File:Cybertron-mtmte-actioncards3.jpg|right|thumb|250px|The white zone is for blasting Autobots only.]]

After a further five million years of war, during which many Autobots fled the planet, {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 2}} the Decepticons had acquired a large hold on the planet, with the majority of it under their control. The main Autobot force continued to operate from the capital city-state of Iacon, but Cybertron's energy levels were depleted to a dangerous low, necessitating a space mission to locate a new planet with new sources of energy that the Transformers could harness. Optimus Prime led his best and brightest on the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], but they were pursued by Megatron's elite troops, and all were stranded in stasis on Earth for four million years. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye, Part 1}}

In the ensuing four million years, [[Shockwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Shockwave]], who Megatron had left in charge as guardian of the planet, maintained the Decepticon hold on the planet, though he was unaware of the continued guerrilla efforts of [[Elita One (G1)|Elita One]]'s [[Female Autobots]] to undermine him as they raided his energy supplies. {{storylink|The Search for Alpha Trion}} Eventually, Cybertron's energy level dipped so low as to put the planet in immediate, mortal danger. Reestablishing contact with Megatron, who had awoken with the other Transformers on Earth in the year 1984, Shockwave co-designed the [[space bridge]], an intergalactic transport system that could transport [[energon]] [[energon cube|cubes]] from Earth to Cybertron, abating the planet's impending doom. {{storylink|Transport to Oblivion (episode)|Transport to Oblivion}}

When Optimus Prime's [[cosmitron]] was destroyed, the Autobots dispatched a party to Cybertron to claim a replacement that was still in [[Wheeljack's workshop]]. {{storylink|Divide and Conquer}}

[[File:UltimateDoom2 Cybertron Earth.JPG|thumb|left|250px|I see a Cybertron a-risin'. I see trouble on the way.]]

Cybertron's place in the universe was forcibly altered in 1984 when the Decepticons constructed a colossal space bridge that actually transported the entire planet into the [[Solar System|Sol system]], into Earth's orbit, {{storylink|The Ultimate Doom, Part 1}} where its gravity wreaked havoc with the planet's natural balance, unleashing an unending torrent of energy created by natural disasters. {{storylink|The Ultimate Doom, Part 2}} The energy acquired re-energized Cybertron enough to put it out of the danger zone, but the planet was soon knocked out of orbit by a massive energon explosion, and set drifting off through the solar system. {{storylink|The Ultimate Doom, Part 3}} At this closer range, Cybertron remained easily accessed throughout 1985 at least, with the Autobots now able to reach it by conventional transportation ([[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]]), rather than having to constantly hijack use of the spacebridge. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1}}

After Megatron had duped the human race into thinking the Autobots were the invading faction of Cybertronians, the exiled Autobots intended to return to Cybertron only for Megatron to sabotage their flight plan. {{storylink|Megatron's Master Plan, Part 1}}

Not long after that didn't work out, the Cybertronians on Earth, save those who had been built on the planet, began malfunctioning due to depleting stores of [[cybertonium]]. At Megatron's order, Shockwave mined and sent a large batch of the substance to Earth for the Decepticons to be healed. Intercepting the communication, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Spike]] and [[Carly]] went off to intercept the shipment. Though they initially asked the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobot]]s to help, [[Grimlock (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Grimlock]] saw a chance to abandon Optimus Prime's group and led his team through the space bridge, {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1}} whereupon they were captured and enslaved by Shockwave, save Swoop who retreated into Cybertron's underground. {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 2}} Undeterred, Carly and Spike space bridged to the metallic planet themselves, {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 1}} using their small size to dodge Shockwave's blaster fire and sabotage delicate parts of his equipment. Escaping underground, the humans met Swoop who helped them free the other Dinobots and return to Earth with the cybertronium shipment. {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 2}}

When Shockwave discovered that Elita One's band of Autobots still lived, the Decepticons took her as a hostage to try and have Optimus Prime surrender himself. Despite knowing the danger, Optimus rushed to Cybertron where he was taken prisoner. Though Starscream intended to melt Optimus in acid, Elita One used her ability to stop time to save him, requiring the Prime to bring her to Alpha Trion for repairs. The remainder of Elita's squad met up with Ironhide, Powerglide and Inferno, who had followed Optimus through the space bridge, and engaged the Decepticons, succeeding when Optimus and Elita returned. {{storylink|The Search for Alpha Trion}}

Tiring of his forces constantly being defeated on the ground, Megatron built the [[Stunticon (G1)|Stunticons]] in response but needed Vector Sigma to truly bring them to life. Returning to Cybertron, the Decepticons claimed the [[Key to Vector Sigma]] from Alpha Trion, using its power to turn the [[centurion droid]]s against the Autobots who pursued him. With their new warriors, the Decepticons left Cybertron. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1}} Taking inspiration from their foes, the Autobots built the [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]] with Alpha Trion sacrificing his life to activate Vector Sigma and bring them online. {{storylink|The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2}}

When Shockwave's [[Kronosphere]] came online, the Autobots made for Cybertron to investigate its energy signature. Though intending to use the device to plunder Cybertron's pre-war energon reserves, Megatron instead used it to shunt the Aerialbots into the past. Though he intended to send them to the beginning of time, Autobot damage to the device sent them nine million years into the past, where they ensured Orion Pax would become Optimus Prime, before they returned to the present. {{storylink|War Dawn (episode)|War Dawn}}

In one of Starscream's attempts at becoming [[Decepticon leader]], he returned to Cybertron to steal the [[personality component]]s of the [[Combaticon (G1)|Combaticons]], implanting them into new bodies. When this ended in them all being banished to an asteroid, {{storylink|Starscream's Brigade}} Starscream abandoned his new warriors and made for Cybertron. Beating him home, the Combaticons used their combined form of [[Bruticus (G1)|Bruticus]] to overthrow Shockwave and conquer the planet, using the space bridge to send [[Earth]] towards its [[sun]] as revenge against Megatron. Making another alliance, Optimus Prime and Megatron led their forces to Cybertron, the combined armies defeating Bruticus and ending the Combaticons' reign. {{storylink|The Revenge of Bruticus}}

[[File:TFTM Autobot Cybertron.jpg|right|thumb|250px]]

By the Earth year 2005, Cybertron had exited the Sol system, but, remaining within the Milky Way, was still relatively easily accessible by shuttlecraft from Earth. By this time, the Decepticon forces had succeeded in conquering the entire planet, forcing all the Autobots off it, leading them to relocate to [[Autobot City (G1)|Autobot City]] on Earth, and to two staging ground bases on two of [[Moonbase One|Cybertron]]'s [[Moonbase Two|moons]]. It was at this time that Cybertron came under attack from the world eater, [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]], who consumed the two moonbases and assaulted Cybertron itself, only to be destroyed by the power of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Autobot Matrix of Leadership]]. His deactivated, decapitated head fell into orbit around Cybertron, a grisly new satellite to replace those he had destroyed. {{storylink|The Transformers: The Movie}} With the Decepticon forces in disarray after Unicron's attack, [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] and his troops succeeded in driving their foes off Cybertron, reclaiming the planet for the Autobots, and restoring and re-energizing much of the planet by 2006. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}}

Seeing an opportunity, the Quintessons made an alliance with the fractured [[Decepticon Empire]] to attack Cybertron. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} While the Decepticons attacked Cybertron, the Quintessons sent a [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]] commando team to flip the [[large switch]] that would deactivate every Transformer across the galaxy. After [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] flipped it and the Quintessons rejoiced at having Cybertron back, though they had not planned for Spike Witwicky who destroyed the switch. Restored, Galvatron shot at the Quintessons before ordering his forces to retreat. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 5}}

When a later Quintesson plot reanimated Optimus Prime, he stranded Rodimus Prime's group in the [[Autobot Mausoleum]] and returned to Cybertron, leading the [[Autobot fleet]] into a trap. Having been given the [[Matrix of Leadership]] once again, its energies purified Prime's mind of the Quintesson programming whereupon he ordered the Autobots to return to Cybertron. {{storylink|Dark Awakening (episode)|Dark Awakening}}

Being pursued by Galvatron's elite, the renegade Decepticon [[Octane]] hid on Cybertron's abandoned Decepticon areas where he was found by Starscream's [[ghost]]. {{storylink|Starscream's Ghost}} During an attempt by [[Daniel Witwicky (G1)|Daniel Witwicky]] and [[Wheelie (G1)|Wheelie]] to discover [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Ultra Magnus]]'s date of creation, [[Cyclonus (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Cyclonus]] sent the [[Lost Cybertronian Storage Asteroid]] on a collision course with Cybertron to disrupt the [[First Inter Galactic Peace Conference]] but the Autobots managed to destroy the rogue planetoid. {{storylink|Surprise Party}} Cybertron later played host to various alien diplomats. {{storylink|Madman's Paradise}}

Undeterred in his desire to live again, Starscream possessed [[Scourge (G1)|Scourge]] and ventured to Unicron's head, bargaining with the Chaos Bringer for a new body. Agreeing, Unicron sent Starscream and Scourge on three labors to repair the Dark God, the last of which was to connect Unicron's head to Cybertron itself so it could become the Chaos Bringer's new body. Warned by Scourge, the Autobots planted energon cubes that sent Unicron's head flying away. {{storylink|Ghost in the Machine (G1)|Ghost in the Machine}}

Cybertron was later used as a neutral meeting site in the war between [[Xetaxxis]] and [[Lanarq]], becoming the point where a peace treaty was signed following the revelation of how the Quintessons had exploited both sides of the conflict. {{storylink|The Quintesson Journal}} Following the discovery and destruction of the [[Cybertronian colonies|colony world]] [[Paradron]], the survivors emigrated to Cybertron. {{storylink|Fight or Flee (episode)|Fight or Flee}} The Quintessons later manipulated the Decepticons once again, this time into unleashing the Trans-Organics. The energy siphoning [[Dweller (G1)|Dweller]] wreaked havoc on Cybertron before the Autobots managed to launch it into space. {{storylink|The Dweller in the Depths}} Galvatron later sent a [[Skuxxoid]] and [[Slizardo]] to plant [[anti-electron]]s inside [[Power Platform Alpha|a new power generator]] to destroy the Autobots but this didn't work out. {{storylink|Grimlock's New Brain}} When [[Tornedron]] was unleashed on the galaxy, Cybertron was drained of energy before Grimlock undid the creature's rampage. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

In the year 2007, Cybertron was once again wrenched from its place in space when [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] and the Decepticons invaded the planet and constructed a massive [[planetary engine]] that propelled Cybertron back into Earth orbit once more. Once there, Galvatron opened the Plasma Energy Chamber, intending for the energy release to drive the Sun supernova, consuming Earth, Cybertron and everything else in one final destructive blow. [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] and the Autobots' [[Nebulan]] allies were able to stop this plan by reversing the rocket engine, which drained off the excess solar energy and channeled it straight into Vector Sigma, which used it to fully re-energize Cybertron. Its rich golden hue restored, Cybertron entered a new Golden Age. {{storylink|The Rebirth, Part 3}}

12 billion years ago, the ancient genius [[Primacron]] and his assistant, the [[Oracle (G1)|Oracle]] were attacked by Primacron's renegade creation Unicron. The Oracle's body was destroyed, but his essence, encased within a protective shell, fled to a dead planet at the center of the universe, which he proceeded to transform into a verdant, living world.

In time, the Quintessons discovered the Oracle's world and invaded, taking control of the Oracle and his powers. The Oracle was transformed by the Quintessons into the mega-computer [[Vector Sigma]] and also obtained the shell that had held his essence, which went on to become the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Using the power of the [[Key to Vector Sigma]], the Quintessons transformed the Oracle's green planet into the metallic Cybertron. {{storylink|Generation 1 cartoon timeline (Japan)|2007 TakaraTomy Transformers timeline}}

=====''Generations Selects Special Comic''=====
At the dawn of time, what would become Cybertron was a barren rocky planet at the centre of the galaxy. Shortly after the birth of Unicron, Primus retreated to the planet, intending to turn it into a paradise. He was discovered by the early Quintessons who [[Cyberforming|cyberformed]] the planet and gave it its name. Shackling Primus into [[Vector Sigma|a supercomputer]], the Quintessons turned Cybertron into a mega-factory only for the Cybertronians to eventually rebel and drive them off the planet.

Following the end of the Angolmois Energy crisis in [[2050]], the Cybertronians retreated to their homeworld, swearing to remove all mentions of Earth from their archives to ensure no one would seek out Earth's Angolmois supplies. {{storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale Part 2|Finale Part 2}}

In 2011, it was discovered that the release of the energy of the Matrix by Optimus Prime to cure the [[Hate Plague]] had much more far-reaching consequences that anyone suspected. With the Matrix's energy depleted, Vector Sigma's balance—permanently tilted in favor of the Autobots by the existence of the Matrix—was reset to neutrality, allowing the Decepticons, bolstered by their new [[Headmaster (technology)|Headmaster]] troops, to freely invade Cybertron. Eventually, this forced Optimus Prime to sacrifice his life by merging with Vector Sigma in order to stabilize the computer before it destroyed Cybertron from within. {{storylink|Four Warriors Come out of the Sky}} {{storylink|The Mystery of Planet Master}} {{storylink|Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime}}

Not long thereafter, Vector Sigma developed a new metal alloy dubbed [[Cybertonuron]], which enticed Galvatron into another raid on the planet. However, the Decepticon Headmaster leader, [[Scorponok (G1)|Zarak]], feared the power that Galvatron would gain from the alloy, and so, to prevent either him or the Autobots from obtaining it, arranged for his Headmasters to plant bombs at the core of the planet, within Vector Sigma's chamber. The Autobots were unable to stop the countdown and the bombs detonated, tearing Cybertron apart and leaving it a charred uninhabitable ruin drifting in space. {{Storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 1}} {{Storylink|Cybertron Is in Grave Danger, Part 2}}

Following the conversion of Cybertron into a technorganic planet, Vector Sigma also underwent an upgrade and effectively turned into the "soul" of the planet, becoming the ultimate authority of the planet who issued its will through the newly created [[Convoy Council]]. Tens of thousands of years later, when Vector Sigma discovered that the [[Blentron]]s were trying to resurrect Unicron with [[Angolmois Energy]], the supercomputer converted Cybertron back to a wholly mechanical planet in preparation for war. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Blue Big Convoy)|Bonus Edition Vol. EX}}

When Unicron was resurrected as an energy being, he sought to use Cybertron as a new physical body, as his original body at the [[Triple Z Point]] was too ravaged to serve as a suitable vessel. {{storylink|Fight!

The pirates attracted the attention of Cybertron's elite defenders, the [[Cybertronian Knight]]s, but during the clash aboard Unicron's head, [[Cheetor (BW)|Alpha Trizer]] gave Cannonball a crushing revelation: his scheme was doomed to fail from the start because the Cybertron he was attacking was technorganic and ''no longer ran on energon'' (as a result of the [[Great Transformation]]). {{storylink|Hoist the Flag}}

===''A Birth of Planet Saybertron''===
[[File:Birth Saybertron.jpg|thumb|right|200px]]
Cybertron was originally a mere satellite, built to ensure peace between a coalition of planets. But the powerful computer within the satellite proved too advanced for it to remain in its initial form; using electromagnetic forces to draw in other satellites, it used their materials to build itself up. This ultimately led to a malfunction of the computer, and the civilizations that had built it found themselves no longer able to access it. Though the united civilizations tried to stop the satellite, it kept on growing and becoming more sophisticated, eventually plundering all nearby resources and leaving its galactic neighborhood bare of resources. Ages passed and Cybertron became a planet proper, with metallic mountains and oceans of oil. From it sprung primitive machines, which evolved into Transformers over the millennia. {{storylink|A Birth of Planet Saybertron}}

Eons ago, Cybertron was a verdant, Earthlike world, populated by a wide variety of organic creatures. {{storylink|Survivor}} This idyllic period came to an end when the first Transformers arrived on the planet, an event foreseen by the mystical [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]] that surrounded [[Vector Sigma]]; {{storylink|The Reformatting}} their arrival evidently coincided with the extinction of Cybertron's natural biosphere, {{storylink|Survivor}} and over the eons Cybertronian civilizations would build over the rock and soil with metal upon metal, giving rise to the illusion that Cybertron was, and always had been, a world of technology alone. {{storylink|The Reformatting}} Remnants of the past persisted in the lowermost levels of the planet, including stray plant life, {{storylink|Forbidden Fruit}} [[Fossil chamber|fossilized remains of the animals that had once roamed the surface]], {{storylink|Survivor}} and an "[[organic core]]" composed of [[Organic goop|concentrated biological matter]]. {{storylink|The Key}} Successive generations of Cybertronians built atop old cities, layer after layer, only to be gradually forgotten. {{storylink|The Reformatting}}

During the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], four million years before the present day, the Autobots left Cybertron aboard the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark]]'', {{storylink|The Agenda (Part III)}} but were intercepted by the Decepticon starship ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'', {{storylink|Nemesis Part 1}} eventually coming to crash-land on prehistoric [[Earth]]. {{storylink|The Agenda (Part III)}}

Three hundred years after the end of this conflict and the signing of the [[Pax Cybertronia]], {{storylink|The Agenda (Part 1)}} Cybertron would come to be populated by the [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s, descendants of the Autobots and Decepticons. This great metamorphosis was precipitated by the "[[Great Upgrade]]," described as the period of time when Cybertron's Autobot population transitioned to Maximals; old cities like [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] were once again abandoned and paved over to make way for new cities, like [[Cybertropolis]]. {{storylink|Sparkwar Pt.

Under Megatron's reign, the villain sought to reorganize the entirety of Cybertronian civilization into one vast machine controlled by a single, overriding intellect—his own. {{storylink|Master of the House}} Megatron would be opposed, however, by Optimus Primal and his band of Maximals, who, after discovering the Oracle, befriending [[Nightscream (BM)|a survivor of Megatron's attack]], and learning the truth behind Cybertron's organic nature, {{storylink|Survivor}} believed that they needed to restore the organic to Cybertron and destroy all technology—a conflict that came to a head when Primal and Megatron pitted the [[Plasma energy|Plasma Energy Chamber]] against the [[Key to Vector Sigma]], unleashing a doomsday energy storm. {{storylink|End of the Line}}

In the aftermath, Primal realized he had been wrong in his mission; rather, the Oracle wanted him to create a balance, a peaceful equilibrium of the organic and the technological. In the end, Primal would see his dream accomplished when he applied the power of the Oracle to the exposed organic core of Cybertron, his sacrifice converting the entire planet into a lush paradise where [[technorganic]] plants and animals coexisted with Transformers. {{storylink|Endgame Pt.

According to [[Al-Badur]], the Quintessons had once served Unicron, and in doing so, they'd found the "dimensional landing" of Primus: Cybertron. Rather than alert their master, however, they decided to capitalize on their discovery for their own purposes. They attempted to subvert Primus's creations via the Plasma Energy Chamber, but the [[Trans-Organic|results]] were disastrous. Success came when they placed a shell program over [[Vector Sigma]] and channeled the divine power into creating a subservient race. That race would one day rebel and become the Transformers, but the Quintessons' influence remained in the form of the Vector Sigma shell program—otherwise known as the Oracle. Primus could nonetheless sometimes send messages from Vector Sigma through the Oracle, but it is difficult to tell the difference. {{storylink|Disclosure}}

[[File:WreckersFinalePartI-rook.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

Almost three months after the [[Great Transformation]], the Quintessons invaded Cybertron, hoping the sudden transition to technorganic would leave the Transformers disoriented. Instead, the population of Cybertron successfully repelled the invaders—and the Quintessons learned that they themselves had been pawns of Primus, who had deliberately manipulated the aliens so that Cybertron and his creations could make this great evolutionary leap. {{storylink|The Wreckers: Finale Part 1}} {{storylink|Wreckers: Finale Part II}}

The planet Cybertron and its two moons orbited [[Alpha Centauri]]; a Saturn-sized mechanical world, the planet possessed an oxygen-based atmosphere capable of supporting carbon-based life. Complex tunnel networks and advanced machinery existed in the deepest levels of the planet; some Decepticons, like Megatron, believed that Cybertron could become a mobile fortress equipped with [[planetary engine]]s, and sought to make this dream a reality. {{storylink|Transformers: More than Meets the Eye}}

The earliest Cybertronians supposedly arose from the [[Well of All Sparks]], {{storylink|Conflagration}} but after creating the Transformers, Primus went dormant so as to avoid the attention of his ancient nemesis Unicron. The [[Sonic Canyons]] that spanned the planet's southern equator gathered data from across the universe so as to be analyzed by Vector Sigma, {{storylink|Transformers: The Ultimate Guide}} while Primus sealed the well to prevent Unicron from locating his physical form. {{storylink|Conflagration}} Prior to the Great War, Megatron claimed to have discovered an [[Golden Disk (ancient)|artifact]] which suggested the [[Quintesson|truth]] behind the origins of the Cybertronian species, which would, over time, lead to the formation of the Decepticons. {{storylink|The Route of All Evil}}

[[File:GreatShutdown.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Everyone died, the end.]]

The war between the Autobots and Decepticons would eventually lead to Optimus Prime and Megatron disappearing in a [[space bridge]] explosion; in their absence, however, the conflict continued, with the Autobots and Decepticons being joined by various splinter factions. {{storylink|Fragmentation (G1)|Fragmentation}}. The arrival of [[The Fallen]] briefly forced these competing factions to work together, {{storylink|Conflagration}} and dwindling fuel supplies eventually led to the construction of energy-efficient [[Micromaster]]s—though these warriors were eventually forced to take up arms as well.

3.5 million years ago, continued energon shortages finally culminated in the event known as the "[[Great Shutdown]]," where all Transformers on the planet simply ground to a halt after Cybertron's natural supplies of [[energon]] completely dried up. This state of affairs lasted for many millions of years; it would not be until some three thousand years ago that [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] reactivated and worked to bring other Transformers back online. {{storylink|Cold War (issue)|Cold War}}

Initially, after Cybertron's reawakening, Autobots were reluctant to trust Shockwave until key Autobots agreed to share leadership of Cybertron with him. An underground resistance movement was formed and a young [[Hot Rod (G1)|Hot Rod]] rose to leadership of one such faction. It wasn't until Optimus Prime's return to Cybertron that the majority of Autobots rededicated themselves to eliminating the Decepticons. {{storylink|War and Peace}}

The [[Quintesson]]s created both [[Trans-Organic|transorganics]] and the gladiator and slave races that would evolve into the Decepticons and Autobots. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 1|The Art of War #1}}

Following Optimus Prime and Megatron's crash on Earth, Cybertron was conquered by [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]]. The planet was also the location of [[Teletran 3]], which accidentally transported members of [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]] and [[Cobra]] to the alien world. {{storylink|G.I.

Shockwave was eventually defeated and the Decepticons were driven back to the [[Gladiator Zone]], allowing Cybertron to be at peace for the first time in millennia. A [[warp gate]] was set up between Cybertron and [[Area 52 (G1)|Area 52]] on Earth. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 1|The Art of War #1}} The peace was interrupted when [[Serpentor|Serpent O.R.]] warped to Cybertron and took control of the Decepticons, but he was eventually defeated. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 5|The Art of War #5}} Notable locations on Cybertron included [[Capitol City]] and the large junkyards where the [[cannibalizer]]s would reside. {{storylink|The Art of War issue 3|The Art of War #3}}

Cybertron and its two moons orbited a yellow dwarf.<ref>Author [[Simon Furman]] stated that Cybertron orbits the star {{w|Lambda Scorpii|Shaula}}, a real star that can be observed from Earth as the second-brightest object in the tail of the constellation {{w|Scorpius}}, though this information never made it into an actual issue.</ref> {{storylink|A Sunrise Dark}} The precise origins of the planet are not known; various religious sects held that the planet had a relation to [[Primus]], who either arose from the surface of Cybertron {{storylink|Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations}} or had himself created the mechanical world, {{storylink|Crisis Intervention|Timeline in Revolutionaries #1}} perhaps after vanquishing the mythological [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] at the dawn of time. {{storylink|Last Stand (Unicron)|Last Stand}}

Another theory postulates that Cybertron may have once been an organic world, one whose biological inhabitants made an evolutionary leap to a cybernetic existence before eventually discarding their organic heritage to become fully-mechanical lifeforms. {{storylink|Spotlight: Nightbeat}} Evidence for this theory is corroborated by the planet [[Gorlam Prime]], whose inhabitants underwent such a transition; after emerging from this "chrysalis state," they renamed their world "Cybertron," which raises some interesting questions about the origins of the Transformers. {{storylink|Spotlight: Sideswipe}}

The first known Cybertronian to come into existence was [[Rung (G1)|Primus]] himself; though later Transformers would deify him as a warrior-god, {{storylink|Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations}} Primus's only unique trait was the ability to manufacture [[photonic crystal]]s. He would be joined by four other Transformers—[[Epistemus]], [[Mortilus]], [[Solomus]], and [[Adaptus]]—and together this first generation of Transformers would become known as the [[Guiding Hand]]. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 5): The Unremembering|The Unremembering}} Together, they would go on to ignite the twelve [[hot spot (phenomenon)|hot spots]] across the planet, allowing Vector Sigma to begin sending the life-giving pulses of energy that ignited new sparks and gave rise to the first true "generation" of Transformers: the [[Knights of Cybertron]], who turned the prehistoric planet into a paradise for both body and sprit. {{storylink|Transformers: The Death of Optimus Prime|The Death of Optimus Prime}} The predecessors of [[Functionism|Functionist]] doctrine believed that, if tilted at just the right angle, Cybertron could refract the light of a sun, turning the planet itself into [[God Gun|a weapon]] to be used against asteroids and other spaceborne threats. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 3): Farsickness|Farsickness}}

Some twelve million years ago, the ambitious Adaptus would turn on his comrades; seeking to introduce the notion of war to the species so as to avoid the stagnation he feared would soon grip the planet, he battled the other four members of the Guiding Hand in what would come to be called the "[[God War]]". Although the other members of the Hand fought back, they were unable to vanquish their enemy, who fled to [[Moonbase One|the planet's first moon]], readying an [[electromagnetic pulse]] that would leave the inhabitants of Cybertron disoriented while he retrofitted the moon into a primitive spaceship and fled. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 5): The Unremembering|The Unremembering}} Though this [[information creep]] would distort reality into garbled legends, the Knights of Cybertron remained known, and eventually opted to leave Cybertron aboard a fleet of [[Titan (group)|Titan]]s. Deprived of their benevolent oversight, Cybertronian society regressed back to an era of barbarism, splintering into numerous smaller city-states and tribes. {{storylink|The Crucible}} This sequence of events would be noted as atypical compared to the development of most other civilizations, who established permanent world governments before mastering faster-than-light space travel. {{storylink|Shining Armor issue 3|Shining Armor #3}}

It was in this primitive landscape that the Decepticon [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Shockwave]] found himself after the destruction of his [[chronal drive]] in 2013. Unable to return to his own time, Shockwave slew the shepherd [[Onyx Prime|Onyx]] and manipulated events to bring the [[Thirteen]] together. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}} In his new role, "Onyx" encouraged expansion and the colonization of distant worlds. Titans colonized distant worlds to expand the aegis of the [[Pax Cybertronia]], including [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]], [[Jungle Planet (colony)|Eukaris]], [[Velocitron]], and [[Devisiun (planet)|Devisiun]], all in service to Shockwave's infinitely longer game. {{storylink|First Contact (IDW)|First Contact}} Eventually, Shockwave would also mastermind the [[First Cybertronian Civil War]], {{storylink|Heavy}} {{storylink|The Crucible}} which ended in the ascension of [[Nova Prime]] and a grand reordering of the planet's society under Functionist doctrine. {{storylink|The Crucible}} It quickly became clear, however, that Cybertron's rapidly urbanizing population was not infinitely sustainable, prompting the younger version of Shockave to begin a [[Regenesis|plan]] to ensure that Cybertron could meet its energy needs; {{storylink|Shockwaves}} while Nova Prime planned a grand [[Expansion]] that would see Cybertron the capital of a grand interstellar empire, this plan fell through when he and his innermost retinue vanished aboard the ''[[Ark (G1)|Ark-1]]'' in the [[Benzuli Expanse]]. {{storylink|Spotlight: Galvatron}}

The reign of [[Nominus Prime]] saw the widespread automation of Cybertron's old [[energon]] mines, leading to an employment crisis as labourers lost their livelihoods. {{storylink|Megatron Origin issue 1|Megatron Origin #1}} Antebellum Cybertron was seen as a backwater placed by [[alien]] civilizations, owing to the cultural stagnation Functionism brought to the planet. {{storylink|Chaos Theory Part 2}}

[[File:Stormbringer1-Cybertron.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

The subsequent [[Great War (G1)|Great War]] began four million years ago, and ravaged Cybertron until [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]]'s experiments with [[Pretender]] technology led to a mad rampage that left the planet completely uninhabitable. With no atmosphere, Cybertron's surface was unprotected from cosmic radiation and was wracked by plasma storms. Transformers had to divert energy to their personal shielding in order to remain on the surface for short periods; the surface was presumably immediately lethal for humans. Gravity was also weaker than normal and Transformers needed [[magno-tread]]s to walk on the surface. The Transformer race abandoned the planet (save for occasional scientific surveys from orbit) and began conducting their conflict across the galaxy. According to Autobot command directives, landing on Cybertron was forbidden. {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 1|Stormbringer #1}} However, with the resurrection (and subsequent defeat) of Thunderwing, this directive was lifted due to the unusual circumstances. {{storylink|Spotlight: Galvatron}}

Around the year 1997, the wise [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] and [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]] returned to Cybertron, with a plan to revive the planet. Over the next few years, Trion worked to repair Cybertron's atmosphere and rid it of radiation, though the planet remained dead and resourceless. {{storylink|Any Old Iron}}

[[File:TheIronAge-Cybertron.jpg|thumb|left|250px|It was after the apocalypse. No one was prepared... for the Robot Holocaust.]]

A decade later, the Decepticons created the three [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]] on Cybertron from a naturally-occurring subterannean species, {{storylink|Transformers: Historia|Historia}}, and left the thousands of [[Insecticon swarm|failed clones]] to their own devices. When the Decepticons defeated the Autobots on Earth during the [[Surge (event)|Surge]], they sent their battered enemies through a portal to Cybertron, where the swarm would finish them off. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 7|All Hail Megatron #7}} By this time, Alpha Trion's hard work had eliminated much of the radiation and electromagnetic storms, so the Autobots survived their stay on the planet with only minor pains. {{storylink|Any Old Iron}} Later, the Autobot starship ''[[Trion]]'' was shot down over Cybertron, and its crew joined the rest of the survivors on its surface. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 5|All Hail Megatron #5}} They were eventually rescued by [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], leaving Alpha Trion and Metroplex to continue their work uninterrupted. {{storylink|All Hail Megatron issue 10|All Hail Megatron #10}}

In order to make Cybertron habitable again, Trion revived [[Ironhide (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Ironhide]], who had been recently slain on [[Earth]], to help take out the swarm. {{storylink|Ironing Out the Details}} Trion then left again, with only Ironhide, [[Sunstreaker (G1)|Sunstreaker]] and a few hundred swarm members remaining on the planet, {{storylink|Any Old Iron}} which were eventually quashed by the time that [[Galvatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Galvatron]] returned to Cybertron, intent on turning the metal world into his first line of defense against [[D-Void]], a malevolent entity set on devouring all Transformers. {{storylink|Heart of Darkness issue 4|Heart of Darkness #4}} By the time his army arrived on the planet, the swarm had seemingly been exterminated. The arrival of Galvatron caused Ironhide and Sunstreaker to flee on [[Hot Rod (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Rodimus]]'s newly arrived ship, after which they traveled to Earth to alert the rest of the Autobots to Galvatron's occupation. {{storylink|Space Opera Act 2: Out of the Silent Planet|Out of the Silent Planet}}

Led by [[Optimus Prime (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Optimus Prime]], the Autobots on Earth returned to Cybertron and confronted Galvatron. {{storylink|Chaos Part One: Lamentations|Lamentations}} During the battle, Galvatron inserted his [[Darkness (G1)|Heart of Darkness]] into the remains of Vector Sigma, in the belief that this would stop D-Void from entering the universe. In reality, the Heart of Darkness was an aspect of D-Void, and doing so would allow the entity to turn the dead planet of Cybertron into a giant portal to the Dead Universe. To stop this from happening, Optimus Prime opened the [[Matrix of Leadership]] into Vector Sigma. {{storylink|Chaos Part Four: Genesis|Genesis}} Somehow, the Matrix of Leadership was able to restart Vector Sigma, and its energies worked to "reset" the entire planet into a primordial state. Almost every structure and geographic landmark on the planet was wiped out, and the only Transformer-made structure remaining was the crashed remains of [[Kimia Facility]]. Simultaneously, Cybertron itself sent out a signal to all Cybertronians out in space, telling them to come home. {{storylink|Transformers: The Death of Optimus Prime|The Death of Optimus Prime}} The only known structures that were spared this reformatting were [[Crystal City]], resurrected by [[Ore-14]], {{storylink|Shockwaves}} and [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]] which had been buried beneath the new layer of metal. {{storylink|The Last Autobot}}

With Cybertron restored, most Decepticons captured and thousands of [[NAIL|neutrals]] returning to repopulate their planet, the war was considered over. When the planet came alive again, it began transmitting energy to its two moons, reviving Luna 2 as well. Since Luna 1 was missing, its share of the energy ended up in the atmosphere instead, supercharging it and causing "ball lighting" effects to strike the planet's surface until [[Wheeljack (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Wheeljack]] got a temporary satellite in orbit. {{storylink|Stick Together}} After a brief revival of the Autobot/Decepticon war, the neutrals kicked the two factions out of Iacon and briefly assumed control of the planet under the leadership of Starscream, {{storylink|Heavy Is the Head}} who established the [[Republic of Cybertron]]. {{storylink|The Sound of Breaking Glass}}

Soon afterwards, Shockwave attempted to bring his Regenesis plan to fruition, collapsing all of space-time into a singularity to fuel Cybertron for eternity which would have made the planet the sole thing that existed, had ever existed or would exist before he was defeated by Optimus Prime and [[Megatron (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Dark Cybertron (IDW)|Dark Cybertron}} The destruction of his chronal drive caused the formation of a [[black hole]] that sent him back to the planet's prehistoric past, free to take up the mantle of "Onyx Prime" and shape the history of Cybertron in a great ontological paradox. {{storylink|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named|The First Who Was Named}}

[[File:TowardsPeace-metroplex.jpg|thumb|left|300px]]

In the aftermath of the cataclysm, Metroplex was able to locate five of Cybertron's colonies, {{storylink|The Transformers: Windblade}} leading to the formation of the [[Council of Worlds]], {{storylink|All That Remains}} which eventually came to encompass [[Earth]] after Optimus chose to annex the organic world into the Cybertronian Council for its own protection. {{storylink|Conquerors Part 4: Perihelion|Perihelion}} When [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] abruptly returned to life, he viewed modern Cybertron as a world built on compromise; {{storylink|The Last Autobot}} disgusted, he planned to wipe the slate clean with an army of [[zombie]] Titans. {{storylink|Ten to Midnight}} Though he perished, {{storylink|Last Light (issue)|Last Light}} the Titans arrived at Cybertron and began destroying all in sight {{storylink|Ping}} before they were stopped by [[Windblade (G1)|Windblade]] and [[Vigilem]]. {{storylink|Rubicon}}

Earth would soon come to join the Council of Worlds as an official member state, not a mere protectorate, and various human dignitaries were shuttled from Earth to Cybertron via [[space bridge]] to prepare for the ceremony in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. Unfortunately, repeated Cybertronian incursions had also convinced [[Joe Colton]] that one day Cybertron would destroy Earth, {{storylink|First Strike issue 1|First Strike #1}} and so he assembled an [[Iron Ring|cabal of supervillains]] who would poison Cybertron's energon from within by harnessing the power of the alien [[Talisman (G1)|Talisman]], launching an all-out assault on Iacon while he and his inner team of supervillains travelled into the core of the planet to enact the plan. {{storylink|First Strike issue 2|First Strike #2}} Though Optimus Prime and his allies raced to stop the villains as they travelled to the core of Cybertron, it was soon revealed that the entire scheme had been masterminded by Colton's second-in-command; revealed as the [[Prysmosian]] wizard [[Merklynn]], he used the Talisman to transform a small fragment of the planet into [[New Prysmos]], a copy of his [[Prysmos|lost homeworld]].

[[File:FirstStrike06-scream.jpg|thumb|right|300px]]

The process drained nearly half of Cybertron's energon supply which caused the planet to "scream", the missing energon sent into space as a communication signal that translated to "Welcome. Death". The signal struck the slumbering form of [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]], and roused the ancient monster into action. {{storylink|First Strike issue 6|First Strike #6}} As Cybertron rebuilt from the invasion, "Onyx Prime" arrived alongside [[Liege Maximo]] and his [[Maximal]] hordes to put the final stages of his plan into action: {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 1: Surfeit of Primes|Surfeit of Primes}} now convinced that Cybertron itself was not worth saving, "Onyx" revealed his true identity to Cybertron, engineering a series of crises designed to break the collective faith of Cybertron in everything that they believed in. {{storylink|The Falling, Chapter 6: Unforgivable|Unforgivable}} Everything Shockwave had worked towards for the last twelve million years was in anticipation of Unicron's arrival: the very Talisman itself was poisoned bait; when Unicron consumed the planet, its corrosive energies would kill him from the inside out. {{storylink|Stranger Eons}}

[[File:Unicron4 Unicron Kills Cybertron.jpg|left|thumb|upright=1.1]]

In the meantime, however, the Talisman was still in service to the [[Darkling Lord]]s of Prysmos, who had recently come to inhabit the caverns beneath the planet, burrowing its way to Vector Sigma to complete its mission of transforming the entire planet into a copy of Prysmos. {{storylink|Schismatic}} To save the planet, Wheeljack constructed an anti-Talisman bomb that would counteract its [[magic]], and when the bomb detonated, the exotic energies had the combined effect of transforming a patch of Cybertron into a copy of Prysmos' old biosphere, while also beaming a second message out into space: one that simply said "Unicron." {{storylink|Transformers vs. Visionaries}} {{storylink|Unstopped and Unstoppable}}

Indeed, Unicron awoke and began his assault on the galaxy not long afterwards, and after destroying eleven of the worlds affiliated with the Transformers, Unicron attacked Cybertron directly. {{storylink|Stranger Eons}} Though the populace initially attempted to fight back, {{storylink|Our Finest}} Windblade was forced to call on the Visionaries, who used a combination of their magic and the Talisman to teleport the population of Iacon to Earth. Contrary to Shockwave's predictions, the destruction of Cybertron did ''not'' spell the destruction of Unicron; the planet-eater, intelligent enough to realize the threat that the tainted planet posed to his own body, simply destroyed the planet by tearing it apart, unleashing a burst of energy that ripped the planet in half. {{storylink|Road's End}}

====The Functionist Universe====
[[File:SomeOtherCybertron-FunctionistIacon.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
In a world where Megatron had never been created, the [[Functionist Council]] grew ever more powerful, to the point where they eventually usurped the [[Senate]] and functionally conquered the planet. {{storylink|The Custom-Made Now - An Elegant Chaos Prologue|The Custom-Made Now}} When the Council concluded that alien life had no purpose in [[Primus]]'s grand design, they isolated their homeworld from the rest of the galaxy to stoke the fires of fear and xenophobia, while they worked to create an army powerful enough to wage war on the galaxy. {{storylink|Dissolution Part 5: Modes of Production|Modes of Production}}

After the intervention of [[Team Rodimus (G1)|Team Rodimus]] cost the Council [[Moonbase Two|Luna 2]], {{storylink|Dissolution Part 6: This Machine Kills Fascists|This Machine Kills Fascists}} the Council turned Cybertron itself into their instrument of destruction, outfitting it with a set of [[planetary engine]]s and using the [[Warren]] to travel from world to world. The planet's lack of mobility proved a hindrance, prompting the Council to reengineer the planet so that it possessed a robot mode, cast in the likeness of the mythological Primus. With this new avatar, the Functionists were able to breach realities, and crossed over from their home reality to make war against the primary timeline—an event briefly glimpsed by [[Adaptus]], who had himself used the Warren to flee across time and space so as to prepare for the threat. Rationalizing that ''five'' Cybertrons, untouched by war, could command exponentially more power, he commissioned a planet-sized mold and created the "[[God Gun]]". {{storylink|Crucible (Part 3): Farsickness|Farsickness}}

[[File:LL23 NowWeSaveTheUniverse.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

Pursued by the dimensionally displaced Megatron and the [[Anti-Vocationist League]] back into Megatron's home reality, the [[Epistemus|Magnificence]] offered the suggestion to blow up Cybertron, though Megatron overruled it on account of the trillions of innocents still trapped on the planet. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 4): The Return of the King|The Return of the King}} The crew soon deduced a way to overload Vector Sigma, preserving Cybertron while killing the Functionists. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 5): The Unremembering|The Unremembering}} After forcing "Primus" back into planet mode, the crew allied with the Architect's forces to stage an invasion of Cybertron, battling [[Functionary|Functionaries]] until they opened twelve duplicate Matrices at each of Cybertron's hot spots, the surge of energy overloading Vector Sigma and vaporizing the Functionists. {{storylink|Crucible (Part 6): A Spark Among Embers|A Spark Among Embers}}

With the native Cybertron recently annihilated by Unicron, this world—now stranded in a parallel reality—was eventually christened "New Cybertron" by those who chose to live there. [[Prowl (G1)/2005 IDW continuity|Prowl]] made the decision to remove the ''Lost Light''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s quantum engines to double the universally displaced planet's energon reserves. With most of the Cybertronian population now based on Earth, New Cybertron was largely left to its own devices; in the years to come, the crew of the ''Lost Light'' took up residence there, while other inhabitants would include millions of [[Lunarian]]s spawned from Luna 1's [[hot spot (phenomenon)|hot spot]]. {{storylink|How To Say Goodbye And Mean It: Part 2}}

===''Transformers vs. G.I. Joe''===
[[File:ISawThreeShips-CybertronNow.jpg|thumb|right|200px]]
Cybertron was the alternate mode of [[Primus]], one of the many living worlds created by [[Daiakuron]] at the dawn of time. {{storylink|Earth: R.I.P.}} Though none of the inhabitants of either world were aware of it, Cybertron had a deep connection with the planet Earth, for the organic world was ''also'' a creation of Daiakuron, and Cybertronian artifacts from ancient times could be found across the planet. {{storylink|Everybody Hates Metroplex}}

Originally located in a distant galaxy, the planet had been ruled by Decepticons ever since the abrupt departure of Optimus Prime, leaving Megatron and his forces free reign of the planet, with the Autobots in disarray under Grimlock's unruly leadership. {{storylink|Form Follows Function}} When Starscream brought Bumblebee's head to Megatron, Megatron pronounced that the Decepticons had won the Great War, {{storylink|The Golden Boys}} and, binding the stolen [[Matrix of Leadership]] to his Spark, {{storylink|Pax Megatronus}} he subjugated Primus to his will via [[Vector Sigma]]. Cybertron then slowly began to transform into a massive spaceship in the shape of Megatron's face that would cyberform the galaxy. {{storylink|Expelled from the Garden}} [[Psych Out]] described Cybertron as "the ultimate Transformer" owing to its constantly shifting geography though whether this was a natural phenomenon or a side-effect of Megatron's plan is unclear. {{storylink|Form Follows Function}}

[[File:FormFollowsFunction-theeverchangingworld.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

Cybertron then moved into Earth's solar system, {{storylink|I Saw Three Ships}} before it was invaded by [[G.I. Joe (team)|G.I. Joe]], using a combination of a "[[G.I.Rocket|green bomb]]" fusillade and a strategically deployed [[Weather Dominator]] to terraform portions of Iacon into an environment capable of sustaining human life. {{storylink|Targetmasters (issue)|Targetmasters}} Soon after, Cybertron grew a pair of mega mountains that reached high into its atmosphere. {{storylink|Form Follows Function}} Megatron then used the horns to gouge into the Earth, seemingly destroying it {{storylink|Pax Megatronus}} so as to clear a path to the Sun, intending to consume the star and supercharge his creation powers. {{storylink|Escape from Primus}} Believing Earth to be destroyed, various surviving groups, such as the [[Oktober Guard]], attempted to claim Cybertron as their new homeworld. {{storylink|Earth: R.I.P.}}

Starved of energy, Primus needed little incentive to consume the star, creating a dyson sphere from his own body to speed up its consumption before Primus was stopped by [[Atlas (G1)|Atlas]]—Earth's own robotic form. Though many Cybertronians chose to emigrate from Cybertron to various planets and moons in Earth's solar system, Rodimus guided the impaired but functional Primus back to his original orbit. With Optimus on a mission to the find the [[Quintesson|Makers]], Rodimus took charge of the planet. {{storylink|The War Never Ends}}

===''Beast Wars: Uprising''===
[[File:Beast Wars Uprising - Map of Cybertron.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]
Cybertron orbits the star [[Hadean]]. {{storylink|Broken Windshields}} Eleven million years prior to [[2384]], Cybertron was consumed by the Great War, its third planetary level conflict. {{storylink|Micro-Aggressions}} As the conflict escalated, groups of Cybertronians fled to establish new colony worlds where they could live in peace. {{storylink|A Brush With Infamy–Prologue}}

Four million years prior to 2384, the ''Ark'' and ''Nemesis'' left Cybertron only to crash on the primitive world of Earth. {{storylink|A Change to the Agenda}} When the two crews reawoke in 1984, the Decepticons reestablished contact with Cybertron. {{storylink|Cultural Appropriation}}

Following the [[Scouring of Nebulos]] in [[2031]], the technologically advanced [[Human Confederacy]] confined the Cybertronian race to the [[Allowed Zone]], a small region of space consisting of Cybertron and nine of its colonies. Recognizing the burgeoning human empire as an obstacle, [[Decepticon leader]] [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] conquered the Allowed Zone for the resources needed to rebuild the [[Decepticon fleet]]. With his reborn army, Galvatron launched the [[Great Push]] in [[2033]] but was ultimately defeated by the [[Confederated Terran Colonial Fleet]] {{storylink|Micro-Aggressions}} in a narrow victory. {{storylink|A Brush With Infamy–Prologue}} The humans responded to the attack by halving the Allowed Zone, the inhabitants of the soon to be sterilized worlds emigrating to Cybertron. {{storylink|Micro-Aggressions}}

At some point during the early to mid 21st century, Unicron attacked Cybertron only to be destroyed by the sacrificial efforts of the [[Point One Percenter]]s. {{storylink|The Inexorable March}}

After millions of years of war, Cybertron's energon supplies were left drained. The Decepticon scientist Thunderwing developed the [[Micromaster]]s as a fuel-efficient successor race, both sides eventually fielding them as the primary warriors in the Great War. {{storylink|Cultural Appropriation}} {{storylink|Identity Politics}} Thunderwing eventually became the new Decepticon leader and led an expedition to find the mythical [[Underbase]]. Successful, Thunderwing's power was boosted to obscene levels and making him a threat to all of Cybertron. The Autobots allied with the non-insane Decepticons to save their world, trapping Thunderwing's mutated spark and the Underbase's energies in Cybertron's [[core]]. {{storylink|Not All Megatrons}} While Thunderwing died, the energies of the Underbase allowed the core to begin slowly healing Cybertron's ravaged biosphere. {{storylink|Derailment}}

With the restoration of the biosphere centuries off, Cybertron was left a dying planet following Thunderwing's defeat. {{storylink|Micro-Aggressions}} Now settled into an uneasy truce, the Autobots and Decepticons joined forces as the [[Builder of Cybertron|Builders of Cybertron]], though their old grudges and factional divides remained. With energon having attained such a high premium, the [[Macromaster]]s wired themselves into Cybertron itself. {{storylink|Broken Windshields}} The Micromasters were fuel efficient enough to remain mobile, causing the petty builders to look down upon them as second class citizens. {{storylink|Identity Politics}}

With [[Vector Sigma]], the source of new [[spark]]s, having been destroyed in the Great War, the Builder [[Cerebros (G1)|Cerebros]] reached out to the Human Confederacy, hoping to recreate their [[Eutychus Project]]. While the humans wouldn't hand over the project's secrets, they surrendered enough knowledge for Cerebros to build the [[Energon Matrix|energon matrix]] as a successor to Vector Sigma. Though Cerebros had hoped that this could lead to a new generation of Cybertronians that had never known war, the Builders saw the new generation as a means to continue the Great War. With the the [[Maximal]]s and [[Predacon (BW)|Predacon]]s as the successors to the Autobots and Decepticons, respectively, the Builders used the new generation for sport in a series of violent [[Games (competition)|Games]] fought in the ruined remains of the old Builder cities. {{storylink|Head Games}} At the same time, new breeds of Cybertronian life—[[mechanimal]]s—began to emerge in the ruins of these old cities. While the older generations of Cybertronians considered them vermin, the [[Oracle (BM)|Oracle]] had masterminded the process after the return of the Underbase to Cybertron's core as a means for the wounded planet to heal itself by generating a functioning, self-sustaining ecosystem. {{storylink|Derailment}}

This dystopian Cybertron was rocked by the [[Grand Uprising]], a protracted war where the Maximals and Predacons fought to topple the stagnant oligarchy that their predecessors had established. {{storylink|Broken Windshields}} Shortly after the Beast Upgrade hit the planet, [[Overshoot]] claimed that the Oracle had ''also'' engineered this war, an evolutionary step forward that would free the citizens of Cybertron from their dependence on energon cubes. The war ended with the disastrous [[Vehicon Apocalypse]], and although the [[Resistance]] had ostensibly won the war by that point, it took the united forces of Maximal, Predacon, and Builder alike to curtail the genocidal ambitions of [[Lord Imperious Delirious]]. In the end, the planet was reorganized under the egalitarian [[Cybertronian Parliament]]. {{storylink|Derailment}}

Years afterwards, as the Human Confederacy fell victim to the [[Fall of Man]], the Cybertronian race ventured beyond the Allowed Zone once again. {{storylink|The Inexorable March}} While communing with the Oracle during the Grand Uprising, Overshoot glimpsed visions of the distant future, and saw a time when Earth and Cybertron would first unite against a grave threat before eventually merging into a single, technorganic planet. {{storylink|Cultural Appropriation}}

===Ask Vector Prime===
In [[Primax 185.0 Beta]], Cybertron was the capital of the [[Decepticon Empire]]. When the Decepticons went to war with the [[Quintesson Pan Galactic Co-Prosperity Sphere]], their resistance promoted [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] to try and transfer his [[spark]] into Cybertron itself and be reborn as [[Grand Galvatron]]. As he commenced the transfer however, his spark was destroyed by the sacrificial efforts of [[Ratchet (G1)|The Autobot]] and the [[Dreadnok]]s. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/04}}

===''Of Masters and Mayhem''===
As the Great War continued, Decepticon science created [[Thunder Mayhem]], a combiner so destructive that it was thought to have destroyed Cybertron outright and brought about the functional extinction of the Cybertronian race. {{storylink|Life Finds a Way}} {{storylink|History}} In reality, the combiner, while enacting a near-genocide, had simply devastated the planet's surface. {{storylink|Divination}} The Decepticon remained there for a while before he left to destroy other worlds. {{storylink|Foundation and Wreckage Part 1: Deadly Aim|Deadly Aim}}

When [[Impactor (G1)|Impactor]], [[Fractyl]] and [[Punch (G1)|Counterpunch]] were seeking out allies for their crusade, they travelled to the ruins of their homeworld and found [[Toxitron (G1)|Toxitron]]. {{storylink|The Toxic Transformer}}

Left on Cybertron, [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]] eeked out an existence before he was contacted by the [[Teklaan]]s who claimed that they could restore his world. Eager to bring about "New Cybertron", Bluestreak made contact with the [[Wrecker]]s and brought them back home, sacrificing them to the Teklaans to provide them with the information they needed to rejuvenate the biosphere. As the prodding happened, Fractyl remembered that the Teklaans' last creation had fallen victim to a virus, implanted by the Teklaans themselves, and died off in a few generations. After convincing Bluestreak to aid them, the Wreckers confronted the Teklaans only to learn that the cyberforming had already begun. After incorporating Bluestreak and Impactor into [[Wreckage (G1)|Wreckage]], the combiner destroyed the Teklaan ship, the central node of the cyberforming, and sent the [[alien]]s running. Upon leaving Cybertron, Impactor assured Bluestreak that his plan had been a good one but until Thunder Mayhem was defeated, it wasn't viable. {{storylink|Lively Pursuit}}

In eons past, Cybertron was ruled by the [[Thirteen]], who successfully vanquished [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]] with the help of the [[Requiem Blaster (Megatronus)|Requiem Blaster]]. {{storylink|The Swamp}} In the age that followed, the Thirteen were known to have inhabited, and subsequently sealed away, a variety of locations such as the mythical library of knowledge, the [[Athenaeum Sanctorum]]. Finally, however, Megatronus would accidentally murder his beloved, [[Solus Prime]], and for this punishment he banished himself from the planet. The Requiem Blaster would be sealed within a dome inside the [[Primal Swamp]], guarded by a lineage of warriors; by the present day, the most recently appointed guardian of the Blaster was [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]]. {{storylink|Athenaeum Sanctorum (episode)|Athenaeum Sanctorum}}

Though Cybertron and many other planets were ravaged by the Great War between the Autobots and Decepticons, the conclusion of the conflict allowed for the [[Council of Worlds|Council]]—consisting of [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus]], [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], and the [[Mistress of Flame]]—to serve as the heads of the new postwar government, {{storylink|The Council}} while Megatron and Optimus Prime both chose to leave Cybertronian civilization to develop and retreated to the wildernesses of Cybertron to continue their lives in self-imposed exile. {{storylink|The Duel}} {{storylink|Unforgotten}}

It would not be until the events of the [[Combiner Wars (event)|Combiner Wars]] that both Prime and Megatron would return to civilization to help deal with the [[Enigma of Combination]], {{storylink|Unforgotten}} and were subsequently instrumental in combating the threat that a Starscream-possessed [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] posed to the planet. Prime perished during Megatronus's return, {{storylink|All Things Must Pass}} causing many of Cybertron's people to turn on one another for fear of the coming apocalypse. {{storylink|The Swamp}}.

[[File:Transformers43-Cybertron.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

Cybertronian religion held that the Transformers were the descendants of [[Primus]], who had, in ages past, reshaped his body into a living mechanical planet. {{storylink|I Have No Mouth And I Must Starscream}} At the core of the planet existed the [[AllSpark]], a massive [[spark]] from which all others spawned from. {{storylink|War's End Part Two}} {{storylink|War's End Part Four}} The first Transformers who ruled Cybertron were the [[Thirteen]]; in time, however, their numbers dwindled, and it would be [[Solus Prime]] who created a second generation of Cybertronians, the [[Firstforged]]. {{storylink|End of Time}} During the subsequent [[Age of the Firstforged]], early Cybertronian heroes like [[Halonix Maximus]] helped tame the wilderness, battle and subdue bestial Transformers like [[Preditron]], {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: Tremors|Tremors}} and raise towering works of art like the settlement that would eventually become [[Crystal City]]. {{storylink|A Dust of Crystals}}

Some time before the present day, a group of Cybertronians once used the [[Enigma of Combination]] to become [[Abominus (G1)|"The Abomination"]], a monstrous, fuel-guzzling combiner which ravaged the planet until a group of Transformers successfully felled the creature in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]]. {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 1}} Over time, the Cybertronians established a planetary [[Senate]] led by a [[Prime (rank)|Prime]], who served as the assembly's "First Senator." {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 3}}

Eventually, the Cybertronian race began their [[Expansion|Age of Expansion]]; as the [[Forge Pyramid|Pyramid]] birthed many new Transformers, {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 2}} the people of Cybertron [[Cybertronian colonies|colonized]] new worlds with the assistance of many [[Titan (group)|Titan]]s and vanquished rival galactic powers. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Five}} During this prosperous age, Cybertron was invaded by the [[rust worm]]s, a species of metallivores that secreted liquid rust, devouring the planet's innards. The planet responded to this by forming an impenetrable basin, containing the worms and creating the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]]. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust I|Sea of Rust I}} The age eventually came to an end when one Transformer, [[Exarchon]], was "corrupted" on a voyage away from Cybertron, and plunged his homeworld into the catastrophic [[War of the Threefold Spark]]. The war saw the mass conscription of many Cybertronians to stop the menace; although Exarchon's forces were defeated, the cost was high, and Cybertron was left broken and ravaged by the war. To limit further Cybertronian expansionism and help rebuild their planet, then-Autobot leader [[Nominus Prime]] passed the [[Nominus Edict]], which forbade the colonization of other worlds, mandated strict laws regarding [[energon]] rationing and storage, and limited the forging of new Transformers. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Three}}

[[File:TheWorldInYourEyesPart1-Iacon.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

The ensuing era saw the rebuilding of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], the construction of the [[Winged Moon]] to provide Cybertron with a limitless supply of energon, and the great [[Tether]] that connected it to Cybertron. {{storylink|Orion Pax: Free Fall}} {{storylink|Constructicons Rising, Part 1}} While some Transformers looked back on the past with regret, noting that their expansion had caused other races to fear their destructive nature, {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Five}} other Cybertronians like [[Termagax]] mourned a lost age of prosperity and potential that'd been cut short and felt that the Nominus Edict had overstayed its welcome. {{storylink|Orion Pax: Free Fall}}

By the time that [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]] supplanted Nominus Prime, Cybertron had established diplomatic relations with other neighboring powers such as the [[Thraal]], [[Occulted Dremden]], and [[Voin]]; {{storylink|Nautica: Home}} in time, different [[alien]] species immigrated to Cybertron and established various ethnic enclaves, such as Iacon's sprawling [[Xeno-Quarter]]. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Five}} They brought with them animals like [[skitter]]s and [[flyt]]s, which turned invasive and established breeding populations on the metal planet. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Two}}

Termagax's "[[Decepticon|Ascenticon]]" movement grew to become a substantial political party that advocated for the abolition of the Nominus Edict in order to restart a new age of colonization and conquest; despite this sentiment, the Edict had indeed brought peace to the metallic planet, to the extent that [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]]'s murder was the first in living memory. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Two}} {{storylink|Nautica: Home}} Eventually, however, tensions between the Autobots and Ascenticons flared, and their early conflicts saw the destruction of the [[Memorial Crater]] {{storylink|The Cracks Beneath Your Feet Part Three}} and a sleeping Titan in the [[Cybertronian Mountains]]. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Two}} One particularly vicious terrorist attack saw the Ascenticons hijack the Titan [[Vigilem]] and use him to destroy the Tether. {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Five}} In response, [[Heretech]]'s [[Reversionist]]s opted to flee the planet. {{storylink|Arcee/Greenlight: Run}}

The Reversionists soon returned to the planet however, intending to purify it of sinners, {{storylink|Gauging the Truth, Part Two: A Truth for a Truth|A Truth for a Truth}} before [[Gauge]] exposed Heretech as nothing more than an ordinary Cybertronian, denouncing his zealotry. As Heretech was taken away, some of the Reversionists opted to remain on Cybertron while the rest intended to leave once the ''[[Exodus (G1 ship)|Exodus]]'' was repaired. {{storylink|Gauging the Truth, Part Three: Moment of Truth|Moment of Truth}}

When Sentinel Prime sought to denounce the Ascenticons, the party - now calling themselves the "Decepticons" - stormed the [[Senate]] building and seized it by force, {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: We Have Deceived You|We Have Deceived You}} locking up the Senators. When Sentinel Prime managed to escape, the [[Rainmaker]]s slew him, the [[Matrix of Leadership]] and rightful rulership of Cybertron passing onto his second Orion Pax, now renamed as Optimus Prime. {{storylink|War World: Prime|Prime}} As Optimus rallied the Autobots against the Decepticons, {{storylink|War World: Awakenings|Awakenings}} their forces began targeting Iacon's [[Xeno-Quarter]], Optimus ordering the evacuation of all aliens from the planet. {{storylink|Escape Part One}} As the Decepticons consolidated their power, it was found that the [[data-bomb]] they'd used on the Titans was too effective. Fearing that the Autobots might be able to reactivate the giants, Megatron ordered them brought down. When the Titan [[Cargohold]] crashed in the [[Memorial Crater]], [[Roadtrap (POTP)|Roadtrap]] and [[Gutcruncher (G1)|Gutcruncher]] found [[Provoke]] in the ruins, {{storylink|War World: Titans|Titans}} unaware that she had been usurped by [[Exarchon]]. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Enigmatic|Enigmatic}}

As tensions mounted, unusually intense geological activity began plaguing Cybertron, {{storylink|The Change In Your Nature Part Two}} {{storylink|Rise of the Decepticons: Tremors|Tremors}} mounting to such a degree that [[Straxus (G1)|Straxxus]] began to fear that the quakes might rupture the strata formed to limit the Sea of Rust, running the risk of unleashing the rust worms into the very fabric of Cybertron, disintegrating it. For this reason, Straxxus began restoring one of the old ''Ark''-class vessels to evacuate [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]]'s citizens, generously turning over the other three to [[Highbrow (G1)|Highbrow]] to evacuate the alien immigrants. {{storylink|Escape Part Two}} Concurrently, the [[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]] went rogue, sending their clone swarms across Cybertron to devour anything in their path. {{storylink|Escape Part Three}} When the Insecticons attacked the organic refugees at [[Darkmount (Cybertron)|Darkmount]], Straxxus launched his escape ships, only for one to be targeted and destroyed by the Insecticon clones. With Straxxus gone, the third ''Ark'' was used to evacuate most of the alien refugees, {{storylink|Escape Part Five}} with Darkmount being turned into a haven for refugees. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Test Flight I|Test Flight I}}

When the reclusive [[Termagax]] was located and was found to be holding the [[Enigma of Combination]], {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Swindle's II|Swindle's II}} the Autobots and Decepticons converged on her [[House (building)|House]]. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Sea of Rust I|Sea of Rust I}} The battle saw the predicted fracturing of the Sea of Rust's basin, releasing the rust worms on the rest of the planet. As the Sea expanded, the Enigma fell in and concurrently, Exarchon began his power play once again. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Enigmatic|Enigmatic}}

In Flatline's body, Exarchon recruited Shockwave, Soundblaster and the Combaticons to him. Unwilling to hitch his wagon to the Threefold Spark again, {{storylink|War's End Part One}} Skywarp teleported to Iacon and warned Starscream of Exarchon's return. {{storylink|War's End Part Two}} Concurrently, Strika led a charge against the Autobot refuge of [[Crystal City]] only to be forced into a parlay by the arrival of [[Lodestar (Titan)|Lodestar]] and [[Computron (G1)|Computron]]. {{storylink|A Dust of Crystals}} {{storylink|The Landscape of Fear}} Allowed to speak to Megatron, Optimus proposed a temporary alliance to save Cybertron, promising that the Decepticons could have the planet in the aftermath. On Starscream and Soundwave's advice, Megatron agreed. {{storylink|The Landscape of Fear}} {{storylink|War's End Part Two}}

Knowing Strika would honor both the spirit and the letter of the alliance, Megatron pulled her out and sent [[Jhiaxus (G2)|Jhiaxus]] against the Autobots, having his general conduct a bombing that placed the Autobots in the path of the rust worms. {{storylink|Radical Time}} When Termagax witnessed an Insecticon overpower a rust worm, {{storylink|The Landscape of Fear}} she hit on the idea of turning the two predators against one another. {{storylink|Radical Time}} Once the viral program had been created [[Firestar (G1)|Novastar]] was able to detonate it on [[Bombshell (G1)|Bombshell]]. Though Optimus was unsure if the Inseticons would win, they ended the threat of the rust worms. {{storylink|End of Time}}

Shortly before the fall of Crystal City, Optimus had sent a team to the [[Sonic Canyons]] to look for any clues about Exarchon. After they were found by the tyrant, {{storylink|War's End Part One}} they discovered his ultimate plan to use his abilities on the AllSpark and become Cybertron itself. When the Autobots caught up to the last third of Exarchon's spark, [[Zetar (G1)|Zetar]] managed to destroy the Threefold Spark, ending his threat and saving Cybertron. {{storylink|War's End Part Four}}

As Optimus' convoy marched to Darkmount, they were met by Megatron's elite who refused to allow them to leave, knowing that the Autobots would frustrate the Decepticons' galactic expansion. The arrival of [[Computron (G1)|Computron]] and the removal of the [[imploder]]-bearing [[Skywarp (G1)|Skywarp]] allowed the Autobots to continue onwards. Arriving at Darkmount, Optimus learnt the last ''Ark'' and Lodestar had been sufficiently repaired enough to leave the planet. As boarding commenced, the Decepticon army attacked, both Computron and [[Leviathan (G1)|Leviathan]] falling to the might of [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]. To buy the Autobots enough time to leave, [[Scattershot (G1)|Scattershot]] called on the power of the [[Combination Core]] to add [[Pipes (G1)|Pipes]], [[Flareup (G1)|Flareup]], [[Backstreet (G1)|Backstreet]], [[Javelin]] and [[Groove (G1)|Groove]] to the mix. Reborn as a ten-bot combiner, Computron managed to overpower Devastator and hold off the Decepticons long enough for the Autobot ships to launch. Though Shockwave congratulated Megatron on conquering Cybertron, the Decepticon leader was well aware that the war had only just begun. {{storylink|Transformers: Fate of Cybertron|Fate of Cybertron}}

====Alternate future====
In a possible future where Exarchon had conquered Cybertron, the planet had become a ruined wasteland with its energon being beamed off into space while its surviving citizens were sold off to the [[Mercenary]] faction. {{storylink|Lord of Misrule: Test Flight II|Test Flight II}}

While the Autobots fled Cybertron at the end of the Great War, [[Decepticon High Command]] was visited by [[Gozer]] who proceeded to take Starscream's form and attack Cybertron. Though the Decepticons fought back, they found their power outmatched by the invader. Unable to flee, Megatron was approached by [[Kremzeek|Kremzeek the Scavenger]] who had come seeking the [[AllSpark]], shuttled off Cybertron by the recently departed Autobots. Bargaining with the Decepticon leader, Kremzeek turned Megatron and his inner retinue into [[ghost]]s, leaving the majority of the Cybertronian race to be destroyed by Gozer along with their planet. {{storylink|Ghosts of Cybertron Part 1}} {{storylink|Ghosts of Cybertron Part 2}} {{storylink|Ghosts of Cybertron Part 4}}

===''War for Cybertron Trilogy'' cartoon===
Long before the Great War, Cybertron was ruled by the [[Quintesson]] Empire who sold off its population as slaves. The Cybertronians eventually rebelled against their masters and reclaimed their world. The [[Quintesson Judge|Judge]] [[Deseeus]] would later claim credit for emancipating the Cybertronians, though the veracity of this claim is unknown. {{storylink|Earthrise episode 2}}

In the era prior to the Great War, [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]] was a revolutionary leader who brought freedom to Cybertron, taking on Optimus Prime, Ultra Magnus and Megatron as his students. {{storylink|Siege episode 1}} A great battle took place at [[Tarn-Hauser Gate]], with it becoming the largest mass grave in Cybertron's history. {{storylink|Siege episode 4}} The Autobots rebuilt Cybertron, {{storylink|Siege episode 5}} before the Transformers began colonizing other worlds, such as [[Velocitron]], travelling to them via [[space bridge|Space Bridges]]. {{storylink|Siege episode 6}}

Under as of yet unrevealed circumstances, Megatron led the Decepticons into the destructive Great War against the Autobots. The Decepticons proved the superior fighting force, setting up [[Surrender Station]]s across Cybertron. {{storylink|Siege episode 3}} As energon became ever scarcer, neutrals across Cybertron began hoarding and trading the substance among themselves. {{storylink|Siege episode 5}}

Outmatched, the Autobots constructed the [[Ark (G1)|''Ark'']] to flee their world. As they scavenged for enough energon to power the ship, they discovered the last Space Bridge. {{storylink|Siege episode 1}} After learning that Megatron sought the Allspark to reformat all Autobots into Decepticons, {{storylink|Siege episode 2}} the Autobots decided to launch the Allspark off the planet. {{storylink|Siege episode 3}}

After Bumblebee had inherited the [[Alpha Trion Protocols]], he used the information to pinpoint the Allspark's current location. {{storylink|Siege episode 5}} Learning about the protocols, the Decepticons used Ultra Magnus' corpse to engineer a virus that destroyed them, though their similarity to Autobot code led to a widescale crippling of planetary infrastructure. Upon the Autobots retrieving the Allspark from the [[Rust Sea|Sea of Rust]], they managed to launch it through the Space Bridge, the ''Ark'' following shortly afterwards. A handful of Autobots, either by choice or circumstance, had remained behind, pledging to continue the fight against Megatron. {{storylink|Siege episode 6}}

As Cybertron's condition deteriorated, the Decepticons began construction of their escape ship, the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]'', fuelling it with the harvested [[spark]]s of a thousand Autobots and Decepticons, setting course for the ''Ark''. {{storylink|Earthrise episode 2}}

As Megatron led the ''Nemesis'' after the ''Ark'', Shockwave took command of Cybertron, continuing to harvest its citizenry to keep the planet running. {{storylink|Earthrise episode 3}} The Autobots remaining on Cybertron later confronted him at [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]] Arena, destroying his facility, {{storylink|Earthrise episode 6}} and killing all present.

Without the Allspark, Cybertron's condition continued to worsen, freezing over. When the ''Ark'' returned with the Allspark, [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] and [[Nemesis Prime (G1)|Nemesis Prime]] arrived to try and claim the artifact to destroy [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]. Despite their best efforts, Bumblebee succeeded in returning the Allspark to its rightful place, bringing the planet back to life. In the new era, the Autobots and Maximals kept to one side of Cybertron while the Decepticons and Predacons took the other, though Starscream worryingly noted to [[Blackarachnia (BW)|Blackarachnia]] that Unicron would one day come for them. {{storylink|Kingdom episode 6}}

==== Alternate timeline ====
In the dark future from which the Maximals and Predacons hailed from, the Allspark never returned to Cybertron with Optimus Prime and Megatron being reformatted into Nemesis Prime and Galvatron respectively and made servants to Unicron. Despite the uninhabitable world they lived on, the Maximals and Predacons managed to cease their war and continue their civilization, developing advanced technology such as time travel. {{storylink|Kingdom episode 1}} Seeking to change the past by saving the original Megatron, [[Megatron (BW)|Predacon Megatron]] stole the [[Golden Disk (Voyager)|Golden Disk]], and was chased by the Maximals aboard the ''[[Axalon (BW)|Axalon]]'' to Earth. {{storylink|Kingdom episode 2}} The Maximals and Predacons returned to a new Cybertron with the Autobots and Decepticons, never again seeing their dying world. {{storylink|Kingdom episode 5}}

===''My Little Pony/Transformers''===
The [[radiant shrall]]s stopped off at Cybertron during the annual migration, roosting outside the planet's cities. {{storylink|The Beauty of Cybertron}}

In the midst of a battle for a space bridge that managed to pierce the barrier between realities, the Autobots and Decepticons were transported through the portal to the realm of [[Equestria]] as a result of the machine connecting to the [[magic]] of [[Queen Chrysalis]]. {{storylink|Transformation Is Magic}}

Though it was initially believed that [[changeling]] magic was required to reopen a portal to Cybertron, [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and [[Spike (MLP)|Spike]] found a way to manage without, prompting Optimus Prime and [[Twilight Sparkle]] to combine the Matrix of Leadership with the power of friendship and banish the Decepticons back to their homeworld. After a delightful tea and energon party, the Autobots followed suit. Though Optimus destroyed the space bridge to prevent Cybertron from menacing Equestria ever again, Shockwave had retained the dimensional coordinates of the equine realm and noted it was possible to bring its magic to Cybertron. {{storylink|Finale (Friendship in Disguise!)|Finale}}

Constructing a new space bridge, the Decepticons pilfered several magical artifacts and natives from Equestria only to come to blows with Twilight Sparkle and her friends once again. In the conflict, Twilight fired a blast of magic at one of the Decepticons' prizes, freeing [[King Sombra]]. When the evil unicorn king took in his new surroundings, he deemed Cybertron a suitable place to build a new army, enthralling some of his old foes and several Decepticons to his will. {{storylink|The Magic of Cybertron}}

The young [[Scootaloo]] was among the many ponies that the Decepticons had brought to their home, with her caretakers [[Holiday]] and [[Lofty]] following to find her. After the two had befriended Arcee and Greenlight and helped them see off the enthralled [[Killmaster]], Scootaloo arrived, having befriended some Cybertronian youths. Content that the children were safe, the four adults settled down to a picnic. {{storylink|A Real Mother}}

Sombra's thralls were sent across the planet, stealing energy infrastructure from various sites. When Knock Out took Ratchet and [[Rarity]] on a tour of Cybertron's tourist spots, the three discovered that using Cybertronian technology to enhance [[unicorn]] magic negated Sombra's spell. {{storylink|The Beauty of Cybertron}}

When Sombra sought to enthral the [[Titan (group)|Titan]] [[Scorponok (G1)|Scorponok]], the Cybertronian/pony alliance confronted him, freeing his slaves with the power of friendship and overloading the Titan's systems, ending the threat. In the aftermath, hostilities between Autobot and Decepticon diminished as Cybertron began moving towards an official alliance with Equestria. {{storylink|Finale (The Magic of Cybertron)|Finale}}

===2021 ''Beast Wars'' comic===
In the centuries following the Great War, the Autobots and Decepticons had been supplanted by the Maximals and Predacons, with the former holding the majority of the power on Cybertron. When the Predacon [[Megatron (BW)|Galavar]] went rogue, his followers stole the Golden Disk from the [[Wheeljack Ministry of Science|Science Ministry]] and a warship from the [[Great Shipyard]] while destroying all the others, fleeing from Cybertron to plan without interference. {{storylink|Savage Landing Part 1}}

Following their running afoul of the [[Vok]], the Predacons joined forces with the Maximals who had pursued them. [[Rhinox (BW)|Rhinox]] and [[Scorponok (BW)|Scorponok]] eventually hit on the idea of using the ''[[Darksyde (BW)|Darksyde]]''{{'}}s [[Transwarp Drive]] to send a message through [[unspace]] to Cybertron. Their idea was later used by [[Tarantulas (BW)|Tarantulas]] who hoped that he would be brought an escape ship. {{storylink|The Beginning of the End}} After the Vok had been defeated, [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] offered the Predacons passage back to Cybertron only for them to refuse, noting that they would be punished for Megatron's crimes.

==Unicron Trilogy==
Cybertron was the body of [[Primus]]. {{storylink|Cybertron (episode)|Cybertron}} Nine billion years ago, he created the [[Thirteen]] to aid him in his fight against [[Unicron]]. {{storylink|Vector Prime: In the Beginning}}

Another account claimed that Primus was a "unique digital entity" that came into existence eons ago. To search for other life in the universe, it sent out the Transformers as explorers. One of the first places the Transformers settled was the planet that would eventually become known as Cybertron. {{storylink|First Encounter}}

Unicron made another attempt to attack Cybertron but he was stopped by the mighty warrior [[Omega Supreme (Energon)|Omega Supreme]]. {{storylink|Omega Supreme (episode)|Omega Supreme}} Joined by the four "Maximus" combiners he went into stasis lock deep beneath Cybertron to guard a reservoir of [[Super Energon]]. {{storylink|Ambition}} The Chaos Bringer however went into stasis lock and disguised himself as a moon orbiting Cybertron. {{storylink|Alliance}} Cybertron had at least two other moons. {{storylink|Titans}}

[[File:PlanetCybertron Armada.jpg|left|165px|thumb|Flaky crust.]]

The Cybertronians attempted to turn Cybertron into the centre of a galaxy spanning empire via establishing four colony worlds with the intent of using the [[Cyber Planet Key]]s to [[cyberforming|cyberform]] them into mechanical worlds before connecting them all via a galaxy wide [[Space bridge|Space Bridge]]. For unknown reasons however, the plan fell through with Cybertron losing contact with the ships it sent out. {{storylink|Fallen (episode)|Fallen}} The four worlds evolved in their own way with most considering Cybertron to be little more than a legend. {{storylink|Invasion (episode)|Invasion}}

As the millennia rolled past, the Cybertronians fell into civil war. {{storylink|First Encounter}} Seeing an opportunity at revival, Unicron spawned the [[Mini-Con]]s intending for these diminutive robots to grant additional power to the Autobots and Decepticons so he could feed off the escalating war. {{storylink|Prehistory}} As a result of their unintended sentience however, {{storylink|Drift (episode)|Drift}} the Mini-Cons soon realized what they were doing to Cybertron and its people and promptly left the planet so that their power could do no harm. [[Exodus (Armada)|Their ship]] crashed on one of the four ancient colony worlds, [[Earth]]. {{storylink|First Encounter}} At some point during the war, [[Rodimus (Energon)|Rodimus]] gathered [[Team Rodimus (Energon)|a crew]] to escape the endless battle. {{storylink|The Legend of Rodimus}} Composed of both Autobots and Decepticons, these warriors left Cybertron behind for [[Omnitron]]. {{storylink|Survival Instincts}}

In [[2010]], the unwitting [[Rad White]] activated [[High Wire (Armada)|one of the Mini-Cons]] which beamed a signal to Cybertron alerting the planet to the Mini-Cons' location. While [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and [[Megatron (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Megatron]] led their inner circles to Earth to retrieve the Mini-Cons, the bulk of the Cybertronians remained on their homeworld to continue battle. {{storylink|First Encounter}}

After repeated battles on Earth, Megatron managed to slay Optimus Prime and obtain all three Mini-Con superweapons. The Decepticons set course back for Cybertron, followed by the Autobots. {{storylink|Depart}} Unicron however made his move prompting [[Starscream (Armada)/Cartoon continuity|Starscream]] to sacrifice himself to unite the warring planet. {{storylink|Cramp}} Unicron's defeat marked the end of the war and both Autobots and Decepticons began working together to rebuild their world. {{storylink|Mortal Combat}}

In the aftermath, the existence of Cybertronians was revealed to the human race who sent an envoy to Cybertron in [[2012]] to establish friendly relations. {{storylink|Cybertron City (episode)|Cybertron City}}

In [[2020]], however, Unicron and Megatron returned. {{storylink|Megatron Raid}} After Cybertron had been protected by [[Energon tower (technology)|energon towers]], the Autobots and Decepticons fought Unicron. {{storylink|Shockblast: Rampage}} After Unicron's physical form had been destroyed, {{storylink|Unicron Perishes}} he possessed Megatron and travelled to the [[Super Energon]] reservoir below the planet to properly revive himself turning Megatron into Galvatron once again. {{storylink|Wishes}} The release of energon gas however moved the planet from its orbit into [[Alpha Q's universe]]. {{storylink|Formidable}} Primus trapped Unicron's essence in a star composed of [[Super Energon]]. {{storylink|The Sun}}

The conflict ended (again), the now predominantly Autobot and Neutral population began to rebuild their world. A further ten years later however, Primus's plan failed when the star collapsed into a [[Unicron Singularity|black hole]] so powerful it not only threatened to consume reality itself but warped space/time, altering the past to an extent. {{storylink|Revelations Part 2}} With the black hole hovering above Cybertron, Optimus gave the order to evacuate. [[Vector Prime]] returned to the planet for the first time in eons and revealed to Optimus that the Cyber Planet Keys were required to save their homeworld. {{storylink|Fallen (episode)|Fallen}} Though Optimus was skeptical at first, he eventually made the search for the keys the top priority of the Autobots. {{storylink|Hidden}} After the Autobots had retrieved the [[Omega Lock]] and the keys from [[Velocitron]], [[Jungle Planet (colony)|Jungle Planet]] and [[Earth]], they brought them all to an altar deep beneath Cybertron where the energy of the three relics (bolstered by the [[Matrix of Leadership]]'s energies) allowed Primus to transform to robot mode. {{storylink|Cybertron (episode)|Cybertron}}

After all four Cyber Planet Keys had been restored to the Omega Lock, Primus was restored to his full power which allowed him to close the black hole and save the multiverse. With peace now secured, Primus transformed into a new Cybertron which incorporated aspects of all four colony worlds. {{storylink|End}}

The closing of the black hole had left the Jungle Planet drifting near Cybertron. When Galvatron damaged one of the planetary engines being used to restore the colony to its rightful orbit, the Jungle Planet risked slamming into Cybertron before the damage was mended. {{storylink|Unfinished}}

With peace finally restored to the universe, the Autobots hosted the first intergalactic peace conference to decide what to do with the Cyber Planet Keys on Cybertron. At Optimus Prime's suggestion, the four great colony ships launched from Cybertron once again to continue their ancestors' dream of colonizing the universe. {{storylink|Beginning}}

Cybertron was a world created by a device known as the [[AllSpark]]. With its power, it gave rise to the Transformers, but their civilization soon fell to war over control of the AllSpark—and when the AllSpark was jettisoned from Cybertron, both Autobots and Decepticons chose to pursue it into the depths of space.

Shortly after arriving on Earth, Optimus Prime showed [[Sam Witwicky]] and [[Mikaela Banes]] a hologram of Cybertron so as to highlight the ruthlessness of his ancient foe [[Megatron (Movie)|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Transformers (film)|Transformers}}

====''Revenge of the Fallen'' film====
In ancient times, Cybertron was ruled by the [[Prime (rank)|Prime]]s, a powerful race of Transformers who refuelled the AllSpark by extinguishing suns, constructing vast [[Star Harvester|harvester]]s that would extinguish suns to refuel the life-giving device. When the Primes visited Earth 17,000 years in the past, however, [[The Fallen|one of their number]] chose to sacrifice Earth by constructing a harvester on the planetary surface. This, in turn, would lead to the sacrifice of the Primes, who sealed the [[Matrix of Leadership]] required to activate said machine in a [[Tomb of the Primes|tomb]] composed of their own bodies.

====''Dark of the Moon'' film====
[[File:DOTMCybertrontransit.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Honeycomb's big, yeah yeah yeah.]]
At the end of the Great War, [[Sentinel Prime (ROTF)|Sentinel Prime]] attempted to leave Cybertron aboard the ''[[Ark (DOTM)|Ark]]'', carrying a cargo of [[space bridge]] pillars; using these, he hoped, he would be able to teleport Cybertron to Earth, and plunder the resources of the organic world in order to restore his ruined planet.

[[File:DOTM space bridge collapse.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Attempts to replicate the giant gash from Generation 1 have gone horribly wrong.]]
Though his plan would be delayed by the crash of his ship on Earth's [[Moon (moon)|Moon]], Sentinel would reveal his alliance of convenience with the Decepticons in 2011, and attempt to teleport his homeworld into orbit. However, Bumblebee destroyed the master pillar before Cybertron could fully emerge from the portal, and the planet seemingly collapsed as it fell back through the portal. {{storylink|Transformers: Dark of the Moon (film)|Dark of the Moon}}

[[File:TLKCybertronArrives.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Well, there goes the neighborhood... and that neighborhood. And that neighborhood. And that one.]]
Though Cybertron had survived its apparent destruction, the cataclysm left it condensed to a much smaller size than before (only slightly larger than Earth's moon) with several of its continents precariously attached to its core by large metallic cables. The sorceress [[Quintessa (TLK)|Quintessa]] based herself on Cybertron, along with several Decepticon forces, and opted for a variation of Sentinel Prime's plan to restore Cybertron. Instead of draining Earth's resources to revive Cybertron, she would drain the life from [[Unicron]] (the core of the Earth) to revive Cybertron. To do this, she required a staff from Earth and Optimus Prime and thus sent [[Lockdown (ROTF)|Lockdown]] to retrieve the latter while she moved Cybertron into Earth's orbit. As the planet entered the Sol system, Optimus Prime crashed landed on it where Quintessa found him, brainwashed him and sent him back to Earth after she explained her plan to him. Cybertron's entry into the solar system caused Unicron's six horns to sprout from Earth's crust as the Chaos Bringer reacted to Primus' approach. Human scientists tracked Cybertron's approach and predicted it would collide with, and destroy, the Earth. Cybertron hid its final approach into the solar system behind the [[Sun]], blinding the [[European Space Agency]] from tracking it before its trailing continents caused large gashes on the surface of the [[Moon (moon)|moon]].

When Cybertron arrived in Earth's orbit, its continents slammed into the Earth and caused massive destruction. Quintessa and Megatron then began the ritual, draining Unicron's life force into Cybertron. Cybertron then began knitting itself back together, its continents reconnecting and the damage from the Great War vanishing as the planet began to regain its larger size. The Autobots and the TRF however managed to halt their efforts which left Cybertron in Earth's orbit. Enough of Unicron's life force had been transmitted to it that it had healed most of its damage and that Optimus felt it was time for all Autobots in the galaxy to return to their homeworld.

At the time of its partial restoration, Cybertron possessed notably organic landscapes such as grassy hills. As these were visible from space as the planet approached Earth, it is unknown if they were a natural part of the planet or if Cybertron collected this feature during its journey through interstellar space. {{storylink|Transformers: The Last Knight (film)|The Last Knight}}

===IDW movie comics===
The AllSpark created a race of dimensional travelers, the [[Thirteen|Thirteen Primes]], and made Cybertron suitable for their habitation. The Primes soon discovered that while the AllSpark's power was vast, it was also finite, needing to be recharged. The universe soon provided the answer, for a nearby star went nova, recharging the AllSpark. Though the Primes could travel dimensions, they needed help locating stars and harvesting their energy. The AllSpark responded by creating two things to help the Primes. The first gift was the second race of Cybertronians, the [[Transformer]]s, who could change their forms. The Thirteen Primes ruled over the Transformers with their descendants, forming the [[Dynasty of Primes]], to protect the AllSpark and Cybertron, while seeking out stars to harvest. The Dynasty even shared their dimensional traveling abilities with the [[Seeker (ROTF)|Seeker]]s, those tasked with finding stars. Once they found a star, the Dynasty would follow with [[Constructicon (ROTF)|builders]] to forge a [[Star Harvester|harvester]] to drain a star of its energy and send it to the AllSpark to form [[energon]]. The second gift the AllSpark gave the Dynasty was the [[Matrix of Leadership]], a key which contained the essence of the AllSpark and powered the harvesters. The Dynasty of Primes recognized the potential for destruction the harvesters presented, so they decreed that any star system which supported life was to be spared.

One day, the Dynasty of Primes and their attendants came to [[Earth|a world]] to harvest its [[sun|star]]. Just as the harvester was completed, the Primes discovered [[human|primitive but sentient creatures]]. Twelve of the Primes upheld the sanctity of life, but the thirteenth despised the creatures as insects and sought to steal the AllSpark's power for himself. What followed was the very first battle of Transformer against Transformer, as the rogue Prime and his loyalists waged war against the Dynasty of Primes and their loyalists. The rogue Prime murdered eleven of his brothers, but the twelfth stole the Matrix and hid it a [[Tomb of the Primes|tomb]] forged from the bodies of his brothers, sacrificing his own spark to seal the Tomb. The rogue Prime, now known as [[The Fallen]], dispatched the Seekers to find the Matrix. When he returned to Cybertron, he brought his war there as well, killing the rest of the Primes and destroying his brothers' [[Sarcophagus|sarcophagi]] to prevent them from returning. However, he expended much of his power in this process and withdrew to his own sarcophagus to heal. It was there that he learned that he'd made two mistakes: First, the spirits of his brothers were able to seal him in the sarcophagus, preventing him taking over Cybertron. Second, the warriors of the Dynasty had managed to save a single orphan, hiding him from the Fallen. The Dynasty of Primes passed into the realm of legend. {{storylink|Defiance issue 3|Defiance #3}} {{storylink|Defiance issue 4|Defiance #4}} {{storylink|Revenge of the Fallen issue 3|Revenge of the Fallen #3}}

Eventually, what little the Transformers knew of their origins would be lost to time. A new society arose, known as the [[Autobot]]s. The Autobots were a peaceful people, led by [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|Optimus]], head of the [[Science Division]], and [[Megatron (Movie)|Protector Megatron]], head of the [[Defense Force]]. The two leaders created a balance; Optimus was fair while Megatron was firm. {{storylink|Movie Prequel issue 1|Movie Prequel #1}} Their world's main cities included [[Tyger Pax]], [[Metrotitan (ROTF)|Metrotitan]], [[Simfur]], and the capital city of [[Trypticon (Movie)|Trypticon]]. Another area of importance was [[Burthov]], where the Science Division had many facilities. In time, the Autobots began work on a dig near the [[Simfur Temple]], discovering the remains of the Twelve's sarcophagi and the intact sarcophagus of The Fallen. At the same time, unknown [[Ejoornian|alien hostiles]] attacked Cybertron. Megatron had Optimus remove the intact artifact to his quarters to better protect it, allowing him to come under the influence of The Fallen. {{storylink|Defiance issue 1|Defiance #1}} {{storylink|Defiance issue 2|Defiance #2}}

As Megatron began to grow more aggressive, Optimus discovered that he was the orphaned Prime hidden away when the Dynasty fell. Megatron raised an army, the Decepticons, and sought to take the AllSpark to conquer the universe. However, most of the early Decepticon forces left on the [[Nemesis (ROTF)|''Nemesis'']] with The Fallen and [[Soundwave (ROTF)|Soundwave]] to seek out the harvester. With the number of Megatron's Decepticons now diminished, Optimus assumed his proper [[Prime (rank)|title]] and raised his own army of Autobots. In the war that followed, Cybertron was decimated. Prime eventually sent the AllSpark through a wormhole into deep space, and Megatron pursued it. Both were lost. Without the AllSpark's power, Cybertron became a dead world. The Autobots and the Decepticons scattered across the galaxy, hoping either to create a new world or locate the AllSpark and restore Cybertron. {{storylink|Transformers (film)|Transformers}} A number of Transformers remained, with the Decepticons centered in Trypticon (now a ''Decepticon'' capital), but this didn't last long. {{storylink|Transformers: The Reign of Starscream|The Reign of Starscream}}

While everyone had abandoned Cybertron, the twin Autobot [[Skids (ROTF)|Skids]] and [[Mudflap (ROTF)|Mudflap]] hung out there for a while, and Starscream began organising [[Purple generic drone|an army]] there in secret. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 2.1|Training Day}}

====Alternate timeline====
In a timeline where Megatron won the Battle of Mission City, Cybertron's status was unknown, with everyone abandoning it as it began to die. However, [[Stockade (Movie)|Stockade]] and a group of Decepticons remained, staying alive by using [[Nucleon (substance)|Nucleon]]. Stockade believed they could renew Cybertron by summoning a new power source, one related to the AllSpark. They succeeded in summoning such an energy being, {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 17|Return to Cybertron: Part 1}} which did enter Cybertron to renew it...

[[File:Unicron Titan19.JPG|upright=1.1|thumb|The Beast Planet!]]
...and to everyone's horror, announced itself as [[Unicron|Unicron, the Anti-Life]]! {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 18|Return to Cybertron: Part 2}}

The possessed Cybertron was swiftly altered into a scarier-looking form with a large mouth and grasping prongs, turned hostile to those on it, and warped to the Sol system. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 19|Return to Cybertron: Part 3}} The Autobots and Decepticons were able to destroy Unicron, but Cybertron was left in its transformed state and seemingly in the Sol system, as well as continuing to be dead and powerless. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 20|Return to Cybertron: Part 4}}

When the Autobots were ordered off American soil, they regrouped ''under'' Cybertron and began working on the teleportation engines that Unicron had left there when he transformed the planet. Using these, they were able to make a decisive strike by teleporting the entire Decepticon army to Cybertron, then teleporting ''Cybertron'' to the far reaches of space. With the engines now burnt out and no energy on the planet, the Decepticons were marooned there, at the cost of the Autobots never being able to go home. {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 24|Revolution Part 2}} {{storylink|Transformers Comic issue 25|Revolution Part 3}}

==''Animated''==
[[File:Animated Cybertron.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Pointier than most.]]

The ancient world of Cybertron orbited the star [[Hadean]], and was considered by the [[Autobot]]s to be one of the most important planets in the [[Milky Way]]. Its true origins are unknown, though various theories suggested that it could have begun as a planet-sized factory, a product of [[atechnogenesis]], or played a role in a clash between primordial titans. Chronometric dating suggests that Cybertron is approximately ten billion years old, with the earliest Cybertronian civilizations roughly eight billion years ago, a product of the mysterious, life-giving artifact known as the [[AllSpark]]. By six billion years ago, the [[Guardian (Animated)|Guardians]] and [[Malignus (Animated)|Malignus]] factions had colonized much of the Hadean system; by 750 million years ago, after the conclusion of the [[Third Cybertronian War]], Cybertron had become the heart of a nascent interstellar empire that would come to be known as the [[Autobot Commonwealth]] as it underwent the Age of [[Expansion]]. {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II}}

The [[Great War (Animated)|Great War]] between the Autobots and Decepticons began ten million years ago, when [[Megatron (Animated)|Megatron]] expressed his plan of using the Allspark to transform Cybertron into an "interstellar juggernaut". {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II}} The war razed Cybertron, {{storylink|The Thrill of the Hunt}} but the Autobots finally found a lasting advantage with the construction of the [[Omega Sentinel (Animated)|Omega Sentinels]] {{storylink|TransWarped}}. Autobot mastery of [[space bridge]] technology and their strategic relocation of the Allspark led to ultimate victory, where the Decepticons were driven from the planet entirely – a unique departure from other fictions. {{storylink|Transform and Roll Out}} {{storylink|TransWarped}} Cybertron was once again dedicated to peace and an entire generation had seen neither [[armor-plating]] nor the transistor of a Decepticon. {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II}}

[[File:TFAMetroplex.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

The Autobot culture under commander [[Ultra Magnus (Animated)|Ultra Magnus]] was primarily peaceful, although there was an organized militancy in the form of active boot camps {{storylink|Autoboot Camp}}. The ancient building [[Metroplex (Animated)|Metroplex]] was home to the [[Autobot High Council]] and [[Guilds Domesticus]], while the head of military operations was [[Fortress Maximus (Animated)|Fortress Maximus]]. The capital of Iacon was a major location, home to destinations such as [[Maccadam's Old Oil House#Animated Cartoon|Maccadam's Old Oil House]], {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II}} and the abandoned [[Cyber-Ninja Dojo]]. {{storylink|Five Servos of Doom}} Cybertron and its citizens were very unfamiliar with and afraid of organic life. {{storylink|This Is Why I Hate Machines}} According to [[Sentinel Prime (Animated)|Sentinel Prime]], it doesn't rain liquid on Cybertron; {{storylink|Where Is Thy Sting?}} despite this, it is has been shown raining. {{storylink|The Stunti-Con Job}} Make of this what you will.

Many stellar cycles later, a web of uncoordinated Decepticon attacks on the rim of the galaxy began taking place, in an attempt to claim control of the space bridges and TransWarp to the [[Emirate Xaaron Spacebridge Nexus|Spacebridge Nexus]] in Iacon, to wipe out the unarmed Autobot populace from within. Receiving wind of these attacks from a [[Shockwave (Animated)|double agent on Cybertron]], Megatron sent a transmission to the Decepticon cells and ordered the organizing of the attacks, {{storylink|Mission Accomplished}} and he himself began constructing a Space Bridge to lead his armies. {{storylink|Rise of the Constructicons}}

[[File:SpaceBridgeNexus.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

However, Megatron's space bridge was destroyed by the reactivated Omega Sentinel [[Omega Supreme (Animated)|Omega Supreme]]. {{storylink|A Bridge Too Close, Part II}} The attacks were subsequently called off, much to the disappointment of the Decepticons who had managed to secure the bridges. {{storylink|TransWarped}}

When Megatron's double agent, Shockwave, sensed that his cover was about to be blown, he attacked Ultra Magnus, mangling the Autobot leader {{storylink|Where Is Thy Sting?}} and causing him to be put on severe life-support. {{storylink|This Is Why I Hate Machines}} This was not enough to save him, unfortunately, and he soon went offline. {{storylink|Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II}} Sentinel Prime, the acting Magnus, took advantage of the fear and paranoia created by the attack to grant himself emergency powers and aggressively remilitarize Cybertron, in an effort to combat the growing Decepticon threat. {{storylink|This Is Why I Hate Machines}}

However, Megatron, Shockwave and the other Decepticons immediately under his command were subsequently captured by the maintenance bot [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]] and his team on [[Earth]], {{storylink|Endgame, Part II}} where they were imprisoned in [[Trypticon Prison]], part of the Decepticon City State of Kaon. A failed breakout attempt followed, with the Decepticons then diverting their attention to the (forceful) acquisition of Energon. {{storylink|The Stunti-Con Job}}

===''The Covenant of Primus''===
[[File:CovenantOfPrimus-Cybertron.jpg|thumb|left|200px]]
Cybertron was the mortal form of [[Primus]], who, in aeons past, chose to enter into a deep hypersleep as to avoid the depredations of his aggressive sibling [[Unicron/Aligned|Unicron]]. After Primus removed himself from the conflict, he created the [[Thirteen]] to fight in his stead, and the warriors successfully managed to defeat and exile Unicron, banishing his dormant body into a distant region of the galaxy.

Left to their own devices, the Thirteen began laying the foundations for a new society, only for the machinations of [[Liege Maximo]] to start the War of the Primes. The brief but violent battle concluded with the death of [[Solus Prime]] and the Liege Maximo, while [[Onyx Prime]] sustained mortal injuries and [[The Fallen|Megatronus]] exiled himself into deep space. Realizing that they themselves would need to leave Cybertron behind if the planet was to stand any chance of developing, the remaining Primes hatched a new plan to populate the planet with a race of beings based on their forms. Using a combination of Onyx Prime's [[Triptych Mask]] and the [[Well of All Sparks]] that had developed on the planet after Solus's passing, Vector Sigma itself was able to scan and gather data on all living creatures from across the universe and used that information to synthesize the first true generation of Cybertronian lifeforms: first, primitive bestial creatures, then the first humanoid Cybertronians—the Transformers themselves—and, finally, the [[Predacon (Prime)|Predacon]]s. This era would later be known as the "Age of Evolution".

Early civilizations grew and thrived amidst this mechanical ecosystem, with the Thirteen defending these primitive villages against the aggressive Predacons, until Cybertron was menaced by the [[Great Cataclysm]], which rendered most Cybertronian life, including the Predacons, extinct. In the subsequent "Age of Origins," the Cybertronian wilds would be tamed by increasingly sophisticated Cybertronian societies, with [[Azimuth (COP)|Azimuth]] and her [[Patterner]]s responsible for reshaping vast swathes of Cybertron's wilderness with the ritualistic astrological charts necessary to predict another potential Great Cataclysm. It was in this state that Cybertron was discovered by the [[Quintesson]]s, the rogue creations of [[Quintus Prime]]. The subsequent "Age of Wrath" saw Quintesson interference transform the planet into a spacefaring civilization almost overnight, installing [[Sentinel Zeta Prime]] as a puppet ruler while they manipulated the populace into an increasingly malleable and complacent state. As time went on, however, it became clear that the Quintessons had ulterior motives for the planet, and a Cybertronian rebellion that put their newfound [[transformation]]al abilities to the test saw the Quintessons and their servants forced back offworld.

[[File:CovenantOfPrimus-GoldenAge.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

In their haste to flee the planet, however, the Quintessons had left their technology behind, and Cybertronians were able to reverse-engineer the principles behind [[space bridge]]s. Using these devices, Cybertron began an age of colonization, the "[[Golden Age]]," settling worlds that included [[Archon]] and [[Velocitron]], [[cyberforming|cyberformed]] via a [[conversion beam]]. The prosperous Cybertronian empire collapsed when the [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Rust Plague]] hit, a virulent disease that corroded all metal it touched; recognizing that the space bridges allowed it to jump from world to world, Sentinel ordered them all destroyed, cutting off Cybertron from the rest of the galaxy.

The Golden Age over, Cybertron entered the "Age of Rust," a period marked by strict social stratification and the consolidation of power under an ever-increasingly corrupt and stagnant [[Senate]]. This moribund state of affairs ended when an outspoken gladiator named [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] emerged, his words inspiring Cybertron to accept a new generation of change. Among those who heard his message was the archivist [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Orion Pax]], but circumstances would drive the two friends apart, sparking the [[Great War (Prime)|Great War]] that would ultimately see Cybertron poisoned by [[Dark Energon]] and rendered uninhabitable for millennia until the end of the war, when the planet was re-energized and reborn. {{storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus}}

When Megatron discovered the powerful substance known as [[Dark Energon]], and that he could control it, he sought to use it to bring Cybertron under his control by infusing it into Cybertron's very [[core]]. Unaware of the true nature of the substance, the Dark Energon poisoned the planet. Though Cybertron's immune system initially fought back against the corruption, the spread proved too rapid and the planet was forced to shut down, Optimus Prime sending the [[Autobot fleet]] elsewhere in the galaxy to wait out Cybertron healing itself. {{storylink|Transformers: War for Cybertron (360/PS3/PC)|War for Cybertron}}

====''Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark''====
In Cybertron's prehistoric era, the early Cybertronians discovered the [[Dark Spark]], purported to be the antithesis to the Matrix of Leadership. Unable to decipher the truth of its origins, or properly tame its terrible power, the artifact was locked away within [[Crystal City]].

In the modern era, as Cybertron continued to shut down following the Dark Energon corruption, the Autobots and Decepticons clashed over possession of the Dark Spark, Optimus eventually managing to use the Matrix of Leadership to send the Dark Spark off of Cybertron. {{storylink|Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark (console)|Rise of the Dark Spark}}

====''Transformers: Fall of Cybertron''====
As Cybertron entered the final stages of shutdown, Shockwave re-discovered [[space bridge]] technology, using it to find a distant, primitive world that possessed a rich enough energy supply to reboot Cybertron. When he opened up a space bridge to this world, the tower was attacked by the [[Dinobot (FOC)|Dinobots]] damaging it and rendering the portal unstable. Taking the chance to get off-world, the Autobots raced for the singularity, the Decepticons following for the chance to destroy their foes. The portal violently consumed both ships before it closed, cutting all combatants off from Cybertron. {{storylink|Transformers: Fall of Cybertron|Fall of Cybertron}}

===Aligned novels===
Cybertron's origins are lost to time. It is known that the planet predated both Primus and Unicron, serving as their battleground in its prehistory. After Primus removed himself from the conflict and created the Thirteen, the warriors managed to exile Unicron from the planet. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}} Early Cybertronian civilization can trace its roots back to [[Alchemist Prime]], who was known to have lived on the planet and shaped the development of prehistoric Transformer societies. {{storylink|Transformers: Exiles|Exiles}} The planet was also visited by the Quintessons in the distant past, who reorganized much of the planet's civilization under their cruel and barbaric rule of law, though [[Sentinel Zeta Prime|Sentinel Prime]] was able to successfully oust the invaders when the Cybertronians saw through their lies. {{storylink|Transformers: Retribution|Retribution}}

During the planet's Golden Age, Cybertronians colonized distant worlds that included Velocitron, Gigantion, [[Hub (G2)|the Hub]], {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}} and [[Aquatron]], {{storylink|Transformers: Retribution|Retribution}} until the Rust Plague necessitated the destruction of the network. In the aftermath, only one space bridge was left in orbit of Cybertron alongside [[Moonbase One|Moon Bases One]], [[Moonbase Two|Two]] and the [[Trypticon (WFC)|Trypticon Asteroid Belt Station]].

In the new era they found themselves in, Sentinel and the Guilds instituted the [[Functionism|caste system]] to slow their civilization's decline. The High Council and their Guards were in charge of law and order, but each state controlled its own militia. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}} But as the nameless miners resorted to [[gladiatorial combat]] as an outlet for their misery, a champion named [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] rose to seize the title of Prime for himself. Unwittingly, his Iaconian ally was appointed [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] instead, and their anti-caste movement became a civil war for Cybertron's future. The [[AllSpark]] was lost to space, whole regions of the planet were laid to waste, and the [[core]] of Cybertron was poisoned by [[Dark Energon]], the remnants of Unicron's attack, prompting the Autobots to evacuate on the ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]''. Megatron and his elite forces left on Trypticon too, now modified into the ''Nemesis'', leaving [[Shockwave (WFC)|Shockwave]] to deal with the [[Wrecker]]s. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}} The largely-devastated planet would be invaded again by the Quintessons from their Aquatronian staging ground some years later, facing minimal resistance from the worn-down Autobot and Decepticon remnants that stayed on the planet, though their invasion was quickly thwarted. {{storylink|Transformers: Retribution|Retribution}}

Though Cybertron was once a thriving world, the former battleground between the Thirteen and Unicron in ancient times, {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 1}} the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons led to the planet's poisoning, leaving it completely uninhabitable. During this conflict, Orion Pax retrieved the Matrix of Leadership from Cybertron's [[Core]], which transformed him into Optimus Prime. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 3}}

In the present, Megatron raised a [[zombie]] [[Terrorcon (Prime)|Terrorcon]] army from Cybertron's dead by hurling solidified Dark Energon at it through a space bridge. His plan to have them sack Earth was foiled, when the Autobots turned the Energon pump on the space bridge and caused it to implode. {{storylink|Darkness Rising, Part 5}}

[[File:OrionPax3 Kaon.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

When Optimus lost his memories, [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]] sent [[Arcee (WFC)|Arcee]] and [[Jack Darby|Jack]] to Cybertron to find [[Vector Sigma]]. Arcee told Jack to watch out for vermin. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 2}} They were attacked by an [[Insecticon (WFC)|Insecticon]], left behind as a sentry, and a swarm of [[scraplet]]s, but managed to get the information they needed from Vector Sigma, deep under [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]]. {{storylink|Orion Pax, Part 3}}

Seeking to gain an advantage over Optimus Prime and his newly acquired [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]], Megatron and Dreadwing used a space bridge to travel to Cybertron to acquire the hand of an unnamed [[Liege Maximo|dead Prime]]. {{storylink|Alpha/Omega}}

After acquiring the four [[Omega Key]]s, the Autobots returned to Cybertron to activate the [[Omega Lock]] and restore the planet. However, as they were about to activate the lock, Megatron and his subordinates arrived with the Autobots' human allies, threatening to expose them to Cybertron's atmosphere if they did not give him the Omega Keys. {{storylink|Regeneration (Prime)|Regeneration}} Prime and the Autobots surrendered, handing over the Omega Keys in exchange for the humans. However, before Megatron could use the Omega Lock to [[cyberforming|cyberform]] [[Earth]], Optimus Prime used the Star Saber to destroy it and save the human planet. {{storylink|Darkest Hour (episode)|Darkest Hour}}

[[File:Tfp cybertron restored.jpg|thumb|left|250px]]

Eventually, the Decepticons, with help from Ratchet, built a second functioning Omega Lock on the exterior of the ''Nemesis''. {{storylink|Synthesis}} Following their defeat of Megatron, the Autobots commandeered the ship and flew to Cybertron. There, they fired the Omega Lock into the [[Well of All Sparks]], which healed the wounded planet. {{storylink|Deadlock (episode)|Deadlock}}

During the process of rebuilding the planet for returning refugees, Optimus Prime and Wheeljack flew off to retrieve the AllSpark, which had been removed from the planet during the war. During this time, however, Unicron revived and took control of Megatron's body, and returned to Cybertron to destroy Primus. The chaos god led an army of Predacon Terrorcons to the Well of All Sparks, and the Autobots and Predacons joined forces to oppose them. Their efforts failed, but Optimus Prime arrived with the AllSpark and was able to use its container to trap Unicron, returning his undead army to dust in the process.

Afterwards, Optimus Prime revealed that, in order to use the container, he had transferred the AllSpark into the Matrix of Leadership, rendering his own spark inseparable from the multitudes within the AllSpark in the process. Consequently, the only way to return the AllSpark to the core would be to give his own life. With his farewells complete, the Prime flew into the Well of All Sparks, returning the AllSpark to Cybertron's core and causing numerous sparks to soar into the sky. {{storylink|Predacons Rising (Prime)|Predacons Rising}}

Despite Cybertron's isolation from the larger galaxy, some starships, such as the ''[[Sigma]]'', were occasionally sent out to conduct deep space missions and patrols. {{storylink|Unfinished Business}}

===2015 ''Robots in Disguise'' cartoon===
After the restoration of the Well of All Sparks, Cybertron once again returned to a period of peace and prosperity. Statues commemorating various figures in the war were constructed. {{storylink|Pilot (Part 1)}} A new [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] was chosen to rule the planet {{storylink|Can You Dig It?}} but they were usurped by [[Cyclonus (WFC)|Cyclonus]]'s Decepticon cell. Via the use of a [[Light Bender|light bender]], the five Decepticons assumed control of their homeworld and began making preparations for the return of Megatron and the rebirth of the [[Decepticon Empire]]. {{storylink|Freedom Fighters}} As part of their plans, they kept Cybertron isolated from the rest of the galaxy and blamed the Autobots (Optimus Prime in particular) for the damage that the Great War did to Cybertron. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 1)}} Those who stood by Optimus Prime were blacklisted and were forced to find work in the lower rungs of society. {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}}

Lieutenant Bumblebee eventually found employment as a street patrol officer, but eventually returned to Earth via space bridge on the orders of a ghostly Optimus Prime. {{storylink|Pilot (Part 1)}} This act caused the High Council to place a bounty on Bumblebee's head for his illegal use of a space bridge. {{storylink|Hunting Season}} The Council also sent Jazz to Earth to respond to the distress signal from the ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]''. After capturing [[Ped (RID)|Ped]], Jazz promised he'd smooth things over with the Council, {{storylink|Can You Dig It?}} but later Drift and Fracture (and their Mini-Cons) arrived on Earth to capture Bumblebee and collect the bounty. {{storylink|Hunting Season}}

Optimus Prime returned to Cybertron aboard the rebuilt ''[[Alchemor (RID)|Alchemor]]'' to confront the new Council. {{storylink|Decepticon Island (Part 2)}} During the flight, he made contact with several old friends, {{storylink|Worthy}} but returned to Earth in a smaller craft when Bumblebee put out a distress signal. {{storylink|Strongarm's Big Score}} When he departed Earth again, he said the political situation on Cybertron was fluid but he was working with his friends to change it. {{storylink|Worthy}} On Cybertron however, the Council freed [[Steeljaw (RID)|Steeljaw]] and his [[Steeljaw's Pack|pack]] to capture the [[Bee Team (RID)|Bee Team]] in exchange for a full pardon. {{storylink|Exiles}} {{storylink|Freedom Fighters}} When Bumblebee became aware of this, he commented on the growing corruption on Cybertron. {{storylink|Exiles}} After [[Soundwave (WFC)|Soundwave]]'s defeat, Optimus took him and [[Laserbeak (WFC)|Laserbeak]] back to Cybertron to stand trial. {{storylink|Collateral Damage}}

Knowing the people of Cybertron would never support galactic conquest, the Council developed powerful mind-control techniques through which they could control the entire planet's population. {{storylink|Five Fugitives}} {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}} The mind control was powerful enough to keep Cybertronians enthralled even if they were off Cybertron. {{storylink|Five Fugitives}}

The Bee Team eventually returned to Cybertron aboard [[Prime Force One]] only to come under attack from the planet's orbital defences. As a result of their situational ally, Steeljaw, they managed to land on their homeworld where they were soon surrounded by the Council's security forces {{storylink|Enemy of My Enemy (RID)|Enemy of My Enemy}} only to be rescued by [[Dropforge]]. The High Council soon made a planet wide broadcast announcing the "glorious invasion of Earth" and the coming prosperity before the Bee Team destroyed their light bender and exposed their Decepticon bodies. When the mind-control signal had been destroyed, all of Cybertron bore witness to [[Galvatronus (RID)|Galvatronus]] proclaiming loyalty to [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] before [[Ultra Bee]] defeated him, freeing Cybertron from Decepticon control.

In the aftermath, Optimus Prime declined the opportunity to rule Cybertron and left [[Ratchet (WFC)|Ratchet]], [[Jazz (WFC)|Jazz]], [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] and [[Windblade (RID)|Windblade]] in charge until free elections could be held. The Bee Team opted to return to Earth however as Cybertron's first ambassadors to the planet. {{storylink|Freedom Fighters}}

===''Rescue Bots Academy'' cartoon===
[[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] travelled to Cybertron to collect new students for the [[Rescue Bot Training Center]] on Earth. {{storylink|Recruits Part I}} In response to meteors heading towards Iacon City, Heatwave, Grimlock and Bumblebee had to travel back to Cybertron to help out. {{storylink|Dino-mite Duo}}

==''Knights of Unicron''==
[[Maccadam's Old Oil House]], the [[Toxic Sludge Swamps]], [[Smelting pool|The Smelting Pool]], and [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] [[Great Dome|Stadium]], all located on Planet Cybertron, were the final venues for the [[Knights of Unicron (band)|Knights of Unicron]] on their 2014 "Till All Are One" tour. {{storylink|Knights of Unicron (band)|Knights of Unicron}}

==''Cyberverse'' continuity==
[[File:Cyberverse Cybertron.jpg|thumb|200px|left]]
Cybertron's precise origins are lost to history, though evidence found by the Autobots in the modern day led them to theorize that the [[Monsterbot (Cyberverse)|Monsterbots]] and the environment that they lived in were evident of Cybertron's prehistoric era. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}

During an era that would come to be known as the [[Expansion|Age of Expansion]], [[Prime (rank)|Primes]] and [[Titan (group)|Titans]] walked the planet, but these had all faded into myths and legends by the modern day. {{storylink|The Citizen}} {{storylink|Thunderhowl (episode)|Thunderhowl}}

The Age of Expansion saw Cybertron colonize multiple planets often founded through the efforts of a Titan. {{storylink|Ghost Town}} A special class of Titan, the War Titans, carried Cybertron's conquering armies to other planets and waged wars on alien races for their worlds. Once the Age of Expansion had ended, only one of these giants, the mighty [[Iaconus]], survived to return to Cybertron. Unable to cope with the peacetime, he went mad and attacked Cybertron, only being felled through the sacrificial efforts of his crew. {{storylink|The Citizen}} Eons after the Expansion, Cybertron kept in contact with at least two of its colonies, [[Caminus (planet)|Caminus]] and [[Velocitron]]. {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}} {{storylink|Maccadam's}}

[[File:Cyberverse Cybertron surface.jpg|thumb|200px]]
Overseen by the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]] and/or the [[Senate]], {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} the government on Cybertron was a corrupt one, so much so that [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] was able to rally a following based on his promise of equal rights to all citizens. As time passed however, it transpired that Megatron served only his own powerlust and plunged Cybertron into the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]] to try and gain control of the planet. To that end, he aimed to seize control of the [[AllSpark]] and have it birth a new generation of troops. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Learning of this plan, the Autobots seized the AllSpark and sent it through a space bridge to prevent anyone from abusing its power. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark}} As a consequence however, Cybertron's condition began to deteriorate prompting [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] to lead a mission on the ''[[Ark (Cyberverse)|Ark]]'' to retrieve the artifact. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}

Some 66 million years later, Cybertron was still habitable but overrun by the Decepticons who'd tracked the AllSpark to [[Earth]], sending [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]]'s squadron to retrieve it, the Autobot resistance sending [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] to do the same. {{storylink|Fractured}} [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] was able to remotely tie into [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]]'s [[cortical psychic patch]] from Cybertron, {{storylink|Sabotage}} and eventually came to Earth personally to take command of the operations. {{storylink|The Extinction Event}}

After the AllSpark had been recovered by the Autobots on Earth, they attempted to return to Cybertron and restore their world with it only for the Decepticons to dupe them into thinking the space bridge had been destroyed. {{storylink|Escape From Earth}} Using the space bridge, the Decepticons arrived home long before their foes and quickly occupied the remains of their planet, taking [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]] and [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] prisoner and forcing them to send out a distress signal to the ''Ark''. {{storylink|The Crossroads}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}}

When the Autobots returned home, the battle for the AllSpark saw Cybertron be regenerated by the artifact's energies. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}} The peace would be an extremely short-lived one however for [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]], having been found by the extra-dimensional creatures known as the [[Quintesson]]s, sold out his species and planet to the aliens, leading them to invade Cybertron. As the Quintessons incorporated Starscream into their new [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]], {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}} they began draining the energy of Cybertron into him {{storylink|The Alliance}} before the Autobots and Decepticons defeated the invaders. When Starscream revealed himself, {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}} he was felled through the combined power of two versions of the Matrix of Leadership. Along with simultaneous death of the [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]], the invasion was considered over. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

In this new era of tentative peace, Megatron divided the planet in half. {{storylink|Enemy Line}} With Windblade's mind scattered following the Quintesson invasion, the Autobots searched the planet for her psychic shards so that they could repair their friend. {{storylink|Thunderhowl (episode)|Thunderhowl}} {{storylink|Alien Hunt! With Meteorfire And Cosmos}} {{storylink|Journey To The Valley Of Repugnus}} {{storylink|Dweller In The Depths (Cyberverse)|Dweller In The Depths}} The war's end saw many Cybertronians, since scattered across the galaxy, return home. {{storylink|Wild Wild Wheel}}

Cybertron's third moon, [[Luna 3|Moonbase 3]], was a major location and factor in the rescue of [[Cosmos (Cyberverse)|Cosmos]] by [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] and [[Meteorfire (Cyberverse)|Meteorfire]]. {{storylink|Alien Hunt! With Meteorfire And Cosmos}}

Cybertron would soon be invaded by another universe once again. The invader, [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|an alternate version of Megatron]], came from a timeline where he had won the war in its early stages and claimed the Matrix of Leadership, since stolen from him by the primary universe Megatron, and sought his prize. A psychic shard of Windblade had founds its way within this Matrix with the ghosts within it guiding her to destroy it, short-circuiting the alternate Megatron who was taken away by his former servant, [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]]. With the threat of both Megatrons neutralized, peace reigned on Cybertron once again. {{storylink|The Other One}}

To make this new peace official, the Autobot and Decepticon leaders drafted the [[Treaty of the Wall]]. Though the ceremony was interrupted by a gang of [[Mercenary|Mercenaries]] nearly managing to ransack and destroy the whole planet, the treaty was successfully signed and the wall deactivated, reunifying the Autobots and Decepticons. {{storylink|The Immobilizers}} The celebrations were short lived, as [[Decepticon supersoldier]]s from the other dimension nearly took control of the planet in an attempt by their leader [[Tarn (Cyberverse)|Tarn]] to restart the war and eliminate the Autobots. Ultimately, the Autobots and Decepticons fought back, destroying Tarn and freeing the supersoldiers from his control. In the aftermath, Optimus ceded leadership of the planet to Bumblebee, Windblade, [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] and [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]], confident that they would be able to maintain Cybertron's newfound peace. {{storylink|The Perfect Decepticon}}

===Alternate universes===
In their travels across the multiverse, the Quintessons had come into contact with Cybertron several times, enough for their [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]] to build a collection of [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwaves]]. {{storylink|The Scientist}}

In the timeline from which Megatron X hailed from, the tyrant recognized that the rift between him and Optimus would never be mended and took the initiative, killing his old friend and claiming the Matrix for himself. With it, he defeated the Autobots and had the AllSpark create him a race of Decepticon supersoldiers before ridding himself of any "unneeded" troops. When the Quintessons sought to invade this Cybertron, Megatron simply used a [[laser snare]] to defeat them before harvesting their technology for his own ends. Cybertron was eventually visited by an alternate Megatron who stole the Matrix and fled with Astrotrain. {{storylink|The Other One}}

==''EarthSpark'' cartoon==
"Light years" away from Earth, {{storylink|Secret Legacy, Part 1}} Cybertron was originally inhabited by the Thirteen Primes. One of their number, [[Quintus Prime]], eventually left his home, seeding new life across the universe with his [[Emberstone]]. {{storylink|Age of Evolution, Part 1}}

As the eons passed, an "epic battle" broke out between the Autobots and Decepticons. The fighting eventually spilled over to the planet Earth on September 17th 1984. For the sake of the universe, Optimus destroyed the [[space bridge]] that had brought the Cybertronians to Earth, ending their war at the cost of cutting them all off from Cybertron. {{storylink|Secret Legacy, Part 1}}

{{anchor|CybG1}}
[[File:Cybertron Primus toy.jpg|upright=2.2|thumb|Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven imag— You know what, just forget it. It's not like we have rules for a reason.]]
*'''Primus''' ([[2006]])
**''ID number:'' '''00'''
**''Accessories:'' [[Omega Lock#Generation 1|Omega Lock]], two [[missile]]s, silver Cybertron planet-type [[Cyber Key]]

:[[Primus#CybG1|Primus]] was developed by Hasbro and Takara as a toy for their joint [[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|''Cybertron/Galaxy Force'' toylines]], but was released in Japan as a Generation 1 ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers (toyline)|Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers]]'' toy a few months after ''Galaxy Force'' had ended its run. This release can be considered a pre-release of the ''Cybertron'' toy because it features Hasbro's [[Cyber Key Codes]] that the ''Galaxy Force'' line lacked.

:Primus is the first toy representation of the Transformers' creator as their home planet of Cybertron. In planet mode, he is considerably more detailed than [[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|''Armada'']] [[Unicron/toys#Armada|Unicron]], with visible cities, including [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], based upon its appearance in the [[DK Publishing]] book, ''[[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide]]'', and [[Kaon (polity)|Kaon]], specifically [[Kolkular]], as seen in ''[[Transformers: The War Within|The War Within]]''. On the "bottom" of the planet mode, there are four hard rubber legs, molded to be shaped like towers, allowing Primus to be displayed in planet mode, yet not require a flat base as Unicron did.

:Primus's transformation is unusual, in many ways similar to a [[Powermaster]], in that he requires the owner to insert his accompanying Omega Lock accessory into several special ports around the planet, then manipulate it to unlock his parts and transform him. When the Omega Lock is inserted into the "top" of his planet mode and pulled back, a transforming sound is heard, and two spring-loaded missile-firing "Stellar Converter Cannons" swing out. When it is inserted into his chest and pushed up, his head is revealed, his shoulder-pads pop-up, his eyes glow red, and a laser-type sound effect is played. The Lock itself lights up red when it is inserted into any of the ports.

: In [[robot mode]], Primus resembles both the ''[[Super Lifeform Transformers: Beast Wars Neo (franchise)|Beast Wars Neo]]'' Unicron prototype as well as [[Don Figueroa]]'s Primus concept, created for ''The War Within'' and used in ''The Ultimate Guide''. He is bristling with weaponry in this mode, with the Stellar Converter Cannons ending up on his shoulders, and the Omega Lock revealing several banks of Gatling guns, lasers, and missiles in his shins and legs. Each of his legs also contains extendable [[Articulation|articulated]] "manipulator arms".

:Primus also has what might charitably be called a third mode—a "battle station" mode, which is basically formed by transforming the figure halfway and leaving the head down and the legs backward. It features no dedicated parts or transformation steps, making it very obvious that it was created after the fact. It looks kinda like the ''[[USS Enterprise|Enterprise]]''... backwards.

:In any mode, he is armed with two double-barreled cannons which pop-up and extend when a Cyber Key is inserted. He has a special silver Cybertron-type Cyber Key, with the key code '''sp8u''' [[tampograph]]ed onto the back. His Omega Lock also features four slots at its base, which are meant to accommodate the four [[Cyber Planet Key]]s, although inserting them does not activate any features. There are also nine inactive Mini-Con [[5 mm post|5 mm]] [[powerlinx]] posts on his person, including two on the claw arms on his legs.

**''Accessories:'' [[Omega Lock#Cybertron|Omega Lock]], two missiles, silver Cybertron planet-type Cyber Key, [[Unicron/toys#PrimusUnicronHead|Unicron head]] (second wave only)

:''Cybertron'' "[[Primus#Cybertron|Cybertron Primus]]" is the North American version of Supreme Class Primus, released a few months after the Japanese version. The toys are identical.

:In North America, Cybertron Primus was initially released in the second wave of ''Cybertron'' Supreme Class toys. This version came packaged with a very creepy "battle damaged" Unicron head based upon his Armada appearance, whereas the following wave did not come with the Unicron head. Unusually, both waves ended up shipping simultaneously.

:A later version of Supreme Class [[Primus#Walmart|Cybertron Primus]] was [[exclusive]] to [[Walmart]] as a [[Black Friday (event)|Black Friday]] 2006 special, and included four Mini-Cons: [[Strongarm (Cybertron)|Strongarm]], [[Knockdown (Cybertron)|Knockdown]], [[Nightscream (Cybertron)|Nightscream]], and [[Offshoot (Cybertron)|Offshoot]].

*'''Creator Primus''' ([[2010]])
**''Accessories:'' [[Omega Lock#2010|Omega Lock]], two missiles, clear Cybertron planet-type Cyber Key

:To celebrate the year 2010, Takara [[redeco]]ed the Supreme Class Primus toy and released him in TakaraTomy's [[Transformers (2010 toyline)#TakaraTomy Welcome to Transformers 2010 campaign|''Welcome to Transformers 2010'' campaign]], being packaged in a special box that is meant to go with the [[Unicron/toys#Transformers (2010)|Unicron]] toy released the same year. "[[Primus#2010|Creator Primus]]" is primarily metallic gunmetal in planet mode, with metallic blue robot parts, and a large number of black paint washes here and there. His Omega Lock is now blue.

:Primus comes with a [[retool]]ed Cybertron-style Cyber Key which was originally available with both [[Optimus Prime (Armada)/toys#CybDx|Cybertron Planet Deluxe Class Optimus Prime]] and [[Demolishor (Armada)#Cybertron 2|Cybertron Planet Deluxe Class Demolishor]]. This Cyber Key features a "smooth" central area with no molded [[insignia]], and a Mini-Con-style Powerlinx socket on the back. The Cyber Key included with this figure is entirely unpainted, aside from the [[tampograph]]ed Autobot symbol at the center.

*'''Cybertron''' ([[2017]])
**''Accessories:'' [[Omega Lock]], two missiles, Autobot Cybertron-type Cyber Key

:''[[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|The Last Knight]]'' Cybertron is a redeco of the Supreme Class Primus mold. Contrary to [[stock photography]], which depict the Matrix-styled Cyber Key originally sold with ''Cybertron'' Leader Class Optimus Prime, it instead comes with the standard Autobot Cybertron Cyber Key, just as the older releases of the mold did. It is advertised on the box as having a third mode, "Defense Mode", that like his Battle Station mode appears to be an intermediate between his robot and planet modes. This figure was exclusive to [[Toys"R"Us]] under the ''Mission to Cybertron'' banner. As the rest of the toys under this banner, he has decodeable [[Cyberglyphics]] on his body that spell out '''CYBERTRON''' and two cards that can form a bigger picture of Optimus and Megatron fighting on Cybertron, with Cyberglyphic writing on the back.

:This toy was later [[Repurposing|repurposed]] as [[Blue Planet (GS)|Neo Primus]].

==Notes==
[[File:Planet scale.jpe|thumb|upright=1.9]]
*The name "Cybertron" was used by Marvel Comics long before the Transformers series came about. In issue 48 of the original ''X-Men'' title (released in September 1968), a computer named Computo created a race of robots named the "Cybertrons".<ref>[http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix4/computoxm.htm Computo and the "Cybertrons" at the Appendix to the Handbook of the Marvel Universe]</ref>
*The size of the planet Cybertron varies between different continuities. In one, the diameter of the planet is smaller than Earth's while the Marvel comics describe it as "Saturn-sized," placing its diameter at around 120,000 km.<ref>[http://www.takaratomy.co.jp/products/TF/bible/wottf.html World of TRANSFORMERS]</ref> We can probably lay these at the feet of Primus, who is a god after all, and can decide to be whatever size he wants.
*Towards the end of the original comic run, Blaster was asked in the [[Letters page (Marvel UK)|UK Letters Page]] whether Cybertron would be turned into a Transformer. His response was "No. More likely it will turn into a rapidly expanding ball of component molecules, the way things are going at the moment". [[:File:Cybertron Primus toy.jpg|Oh, what fools time makes of us all]].<ref>[http://transfans.co.uk/media/2KX/media/comics/the_transformers_uk/darnnblast/Issue323.jpg Letters page for Marvel UK Issue #323]</ref>
*Cybertron's "gashed" moon, often glimpsed during the course of ''Beast Machines'', is heavily based on one side of a modern sculpture by Arnaldo Pomodoro, "Sphere with Sphere" ("Sfera con Sfera"), that can be found in the Vatican City's Courtyard of the Pinecone.<ref>[http://www.bluffton.edu/~sullivanm/italy/rome/pomodoro/0003.jpg Photo of ''Sfera con Sfera'']</ref> See, kids? Transformers IS educational.
*In the Japanese Headmasters continuity, the planet is repeatedly called ''Cyberton''. This is most likely due to bad translation.
*A [[Hasbro Pulse#HasLab|HasLab]] Cybertron/Primus was considered at one point.<ref>{{citesocial|link=https://twitter.com/ZakuFan0079/status/1586339124700925952|quote=Have considered doing #HasLab Cybertron/Primus.

*''Japanese:'' '''Cybertron''' (セイバートロン ''Seibātoron'',<ref>For decades, Western fans have typically opted to render the Japanese pronunciation of the planet's name as "Seibertron" (pronounced "Say-ber-tron") in order to distinguish it from the Japanese name of the Autobots, the "Cybertrons" (pronounced "Sigh-ber-tron"). However, several Japanese sources actually spell it as "Cybertron" in English, including the [[Transformers: The Headmasters (video game)|''Headmasters'' video game]], the covers of the ''"Planet of Cybertron Guide"'' books included with Takara's mid-90s {{w|LaserDisc}} sets of the original cartoon, a ''Beast Wars'' [http://www18.tok2.com/home/jackhama/transformers/bwtcard_2/img/043.jpg trading card], and the packaging for ''Galaxy Force'' toys.

'''[[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s toys blow up in his labs, but hopefully these won't!

==Toys==
===''The Transformers''===
{{anchor|Generation 1}}
* '''Wheeljack''' (1984, 1986)
**''Takara ID number:'' '''03'''[[File:G1Wheeljack toy.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|Do your arms hang low? Do they wobble to and fro?]]
**''Accessories:'' 2 shoulder cannons, 4 rockets, 2 wings

: The original Wheeljack toy, released as part of the [[1984]] series of Autobots, was based on a ''[[Diaclone]]'' Lancia Stratos Turbo. The deco is based on a specific racing version, the "Group 5" Stratos,<ref name="group5">[http://www.geocities.ws/simontmallett/stratos.html Information about the real-life Group 5 Stratos]</ref> with sponsor decals by Italian airline {{w|Alitalia}}, which were changed to "Alital'''l'''a" for the toy (presumably to avoid licensing problems... yeah, it apparently did work like that back in the day). He comes with two rocket launchers that can fire four projectiles and two clear wings. In robot mode, the rocket launchers and the wings mount onto his shoulder and back respectively. The bar his launchers clip to is a 3mm bar, making this the earliest example of the 3mm [[C joint]] system in ''Transformers''. For some reason, Wheeljack's lower arms/hands cannot lock into his upper arms, leaving them hanging at an angle.

: In [[1986]], he was made available as a mail-away item (as he was no longer shipping to retail shelves) in multiple offers, including [[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]] fliers packed with most boxed ''Transformers'' toys. He cost $8 and two [[Robot Point]]s.

: Wheeljack's back-mounted wings can be left attached in vehicle mode, making them easier to keep track of. They can also be used in conjunction with the fold-down doors to give Wheeljack a flight mode.

: A [[retool]]ed and [[redeco]]ed version of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' toy was the basis for the [[Decepticon]] [[Exhaust]].

He comes with the [[Turbo Racer]], a large red sports car based upon the Ferrari Testarossa that can seat two Action Master figures. The Turbo Racer has an "attack mode" where it transforms into something vaguely resembling an aircraft made from car parts.

He transforms into a 2005 (S197 chassis) model Ford Mustang GT, painted white with blue stripes. In vehicle mode, he features highly realistic styling, opening doors, hood and trunk, as well as a detailed car interior. In robot mode his removable engine becomes a double-barreled laser; he is also equipped with a "Cryo-Sword" made of clear plastic with blue paint apps.

:The Japanese ''Binaltech'' release of the figure has a slightly retooled head (see image inset), different paint applications, and is partially constructed of die-cast metal.

*'''Wheeljack''' (Deluxe Class, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' 2 wrenches, 1 shoulder launcher

: ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Wheeljack is a retool of ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers]]'' [[Tracks (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Turbo Tracks]], featuring a new head, wings, clip-on wrenches (that replace the missile launchers), new vehicle mode front fenders and rear spoiler, and a modified transformation sequence (with new legs) so as to present a robot mode reminiscent of the original Wheeljack toy. The rear rotatable flip-out panel and the joint it's mounted on are still there, although the spoiler prevents it from being rotated, while the panel itself now lacks the mounting tabs that were previously there.
: He has a flight mode similar to Tracks's, though with the clip-on weapons attached over the wings instead of on the rear of the vehicle. He also retains Tracks' gun, which in reality was Wheeljack's own rocket launcher, and as such, nominally clips onto his shoulder. The gun was slightly redecoed, with the ''entire'' jointed rocket piece being painted over this time, and the C joint clip being a darker shade of gray due to [[gang-molding]] with other parts. With the new retool of his legs, the black inner parts under the car mode hood feature [[C joint|3mm bars]] where you can store Wheeljack's wrenches when not being held, as the clamps of the wrenches are actually C joint clips. Additionally, the wrenches ''themselves'' also have 3mm bars on them, in case Wheeljack should try to make some sort of new gadget. [[Ratchet (G1)/toys|Ratchet]] sold separately.

: Though Wheeljack's toy is heavily retooled, his instructions do not reflect this. They depict Wheeljack with his proper head, but most of the rest of the art depicts Tracks' parts, including Tracks' leg transformation. Do not attempt to extend Wheeljack's legs as far as the instruction art shows, because that's some excessive force that's not meant to be applied, in addition to the fact Wheeljack's new shin construction makes him ultimately shorter than Tracks. The instructions also show the wrenches mounting on the shoulders as weapons, with the shoulder launcher as a hand-held weapon.

: This version of the mold was retooled into ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Runamuck (G1)#Timelines|Runamuck]] and ''Timelines'' [[Runabout (G1)#Timelines|Over-Run]], while the original version was redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Tracks (SG)#Toys|Turbo Tracks]].

**''ID number:'' '''UN-19'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 wrenches, 1 shoulder launcher

:Part of the ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' toyline, TakaraTomy's version of Wheeljack features some subtle differences from the ''Generations'' version. He now sports silver painted ears, metallic green paint and medium red paint for his stripes, which follow a different pattern, and continue down the back of the car. He no longer has a painted rear window (instead leaving it white with the stripe detailing), features different tail light applications, a silver outlined Autobot symbol (rather than one without a border), painted clear blue eyes, and a more blue-green plastic instead of the slightly brighter green of the Hasbro version.

:''United'' Wheeljack was released before ''Generations'' Wheeljack was released to retail stores, but not to online retailers. Wheeljack's United instructions show the proper transformation. His instructions also leave out the flying car mode, likely due to it being intended originally for Tracks and not Wheeljack.

**''ID number:'' '''MP-20'''
**''Accessories:'' Shoulder Cannon, missile, Laser Gun, Hypno-chip Disruptor ([[Amazon (website)|Amazon.co.jp]] exclusive)

: ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Wheeljack transforms into an officially-licensed Lancia Stratos with proper (licensed?) "Alital'''i'''a" markings. As with other figures in the ''Masterpiece'' line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his [[Character model|cartoon model]]. Roughly as tall as a [[Size class|Voyager Class]] figure, he is also in [[scale]] with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Optimus Prime]], and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|Prime's trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to larger entries in this line, Wheeljack lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic. Additionally, his side mirrors come detached out of the box, and can be found separately packaged inside the instruction bag. An extra pair of mirrors is included in case of loss or breakage.

:For accessories, he comes with shoulder launcher, including a removable non-firing missile, and the generic laser pistol he wielded in "[[The Ultimate Doom, Part 3]]". In vehicle mode, the shoulder launcher mounts on the roof like the weapons of the other ''Masterpiece'' cars, while the gun stores underneath as the car's exhaust pipe.

:As a curious Easter egg, dismantling his head reveals a mustache hidden under his faceplate, similar to the one [[Wheeljack (Animated)|his ''Animated'' counterpart]] sports.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-masterpiece-47/masterpiece-mp-20-wheeljack-hidden-face-reveal-181175/ "Masterpiece MP-20 Wheeljack - Hidden Face Reveal?" at TFW2005]</ref>

:If purchased in Japan through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], one additionally gets a toolbox based on the hypno-chip disabling device he used in "[[The Ultimate Doom, Part 3]]". If purchased in other Asian markets outside of Japan, a [[collector coin]] is included instead of or in addition to the toolbox.

:Part of wave 6 of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Wheeljack is an extensive retool of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Breakdown (G1)#Generations|Breakdown]] sporting a newly shelled alternate mode to more closely resemble a Lancia Stratos, plus a new head, chest, lower legs, and feet. Being a ''Combiner Wars'' figure, Wheeljack can combine to form [[Sky Reign#Generations|Sky Reign]] as either an arm or a leg. His smaller weapon can be held as either a rifle or a sword, and a ridge on its hilt can fit into a corresponding slot on the side of the vehicle mode. Like the other versions of the tooling before it, the larger weapon can peg onto his back. Wheeljack can also form into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs.

:This mold was also retooled as [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Generations|Sunstreaker]], [[Jumpstream#Generations|Jumpstream]], and [[Ravage (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Ravage]].

: Released in the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Deluxes, Wheeljack transforms into an Earth-based car resembling a Lancia Stratos with some portions of the vehicle's design being similar to the {{w|Lancia Rally}}, while his robot mode features proportions and colors more accurate to his depiction in the G1 cartoon. The only accessory included with Wheeljack is his shoulder launcher, based on his original 1984 toy's, which can plug into any [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] 5mm port or onto either shoulder using a slot and painted tab. His spoiler/"wing" halves are also attached via 5mm posts, so they can be easily removed and placed elsewhere if you want to do that. We won't stop you.

: His side doors and spoiler are tampographed with the Japanese text サイバトロン ("Cybertron"), Takara's classic name for the Autobots, as well as several Transformers references appearing as "sponsor logos". These include the places: "''[[Velocitron]] Racing [[1984]]''", "[[Praxus|PRAXUS]]", "[[protihex]]", and "[[Iacon (polity)|IACON]]"; and characters: "[[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]]", "[[Override (Cybertron)|OVERRIDE]]", "[[Ricochet (G1)|ricochet ricochet]]", "[[Wheeljack (G1)|"WHEELJACK" INVENZIONE]]" (Italian for invention, likely to Lancia being an Italian company), "[[Tracks (G1)|''AUTOBOTtracks'']]", and "''[[Aerobolt]]''". Other tampos include "[[A.I.R. Lock System|modulator]]", "[[Cybertron Con|CYBER TRON CON]]", the different racing number "638", "W MOTORS", "Lucky!", "rallyX" (likely due to the car mode being based off a Lancia Rally), a stylized A symbol, and an Autobot sigil. These tampos can be easily scratched, so care must be taken to avoid paint scuffs. Although renders show the figure cast in a crisp white plastic, the actual figure is a slightly green-tinted white.

:Like all Earthrise toys, the inside of the back of Wheeljack's package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map. Also in the box is a thin red piece of transparent plastic with which to read the star map. Wheeljack's piece of the map contains the labeled location of the planet "[[Antilla|ANTILLA]]"

Sadly, his shoulder-mounted launcher interferes with his ability to look straight ahead, plus it's on an extremely short peg that needs to be shaved down slightly to fit into the extremely shallow hole on his shoulder. Like all the figures in the wave, Wheeljack was available as both a standard full color figure and a metallic silver "pewter" version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

: The pewter version of the figure has a potential problem with connector peg breakage, due to said pegs often getting a layer of pewter paint before being forced into a socket, leading to sticking and tearing. Care should be used when moving or removing the arms; shaving down the socket interior with a thin hobby knife is usually sufficient to fix the issue.

: The pewter version of Wheeljack came packaged with the right "boot" piece needed to transform the wave's [[Star Saber (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Star Saber]] figure into Victory Saber.

==Notes==
[[File:DiacloneWheeljackConcept.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|If only...]]
* An early concept design of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' version of Generation 1 Wheeljack was printed in a catalog from late 1982/early 1983, depicting a considerably better proportioned robot mode with longer legs.
* Wheeljack was given an homage in the form of ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Downshift (Energon)|Downshift]]. Downshift has Wheeljack's colors, face, and even feet modeled after the Lancia grill. The character was even called Wheeljack in Japan's ''Super Link'' series, something Hasbro could not do because the name had already been used on [[Wheeljack (Armada)|a character]] from the [[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|previous series]]. Downshift was later [[redeco]]ed as the [[BotCon 2010]] [[exclusive]] ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Slicer (G1)|Slicer/"Decepticon Slice"]], representing the same character as the [[The Transformers (European toyline)|European-only Generation 1]] [[Action Master]] Slicer, a redeco of Wheeljack's Action Master toy (while simultaneously representing [[Wheeljack (SG)|another Wheeljack]]).
* ''Energon'' Downshift also received a new-sculpt toy in the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' line, which looked considerably less like Generation 1 Wheeljack save for the head sculpt... and the ''feet'', which are sculpted after Wheeljack's distinct Lancia Stratos grill feet. Now ''that's'' a weird homage.
* The retool of ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Alternators|Grimlock]] was originally planned to be [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]] (presumably in red), but ultimately ended up as Wheeljack instead, with a new head sculpt. Meanwhile, the head sculpt originally intended for Ford-Windcharger ended up being used for the retool of ''Alternators'' "Windcharger" (the Honda S2000 mold, designed as [[Overdrive]] and released under that name by Takara) instead, and now named "[[Decepticharge]]".
* ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Wheeljack was the original version of the sculpt, with [[Tracks (G1)/toys|Tracks]] (whose toy ended up in ''[[Reveal the Shield]]'') intended as the retool, but the two were ultimately released in reverse order (and different toy lines).<ref name="generations11">TakaraTomy staff interview in ''[[Transformers Generations 2011]]'' vol. 1, [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/428825-takaratomy-staff-interview-generations-united.html translation at TFW2005].</ref>
* A mock-up of a new [[Downshift (G1)|Downshift]] toy in the form of a ''Generations'' Wheeljack redeco was shown in ''[[Transformers Generations 2014]]'' Vol. 1 as one of ten potential exclusives for Vol. 2. The mock-up promised that if produced, the final product would make use of some [[Tracks (G1)#Transformers (2010)|Turbo Tracks]] tooling. During the fan poll held to determine which of the ten would be produced, however, Downshift placed dead last, having claimed only 1% of the votes. The indignity!<ref>[http://millionhero.sblo.jp/article/101898683.html Poll results at Hero-X]</ref>

* '''Wheeljack''' (1984, 1986)
**''Takara ID number:'' '''03'''[[File:G1Wheeljack toy.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|Do your arms hang low? Do they wobble to and fro?]]
**''Accessories:'' 2 shoulder cannons, 4 rockets, 2 wings

: The original Wheeljack toy, released as part of the [[1984]] series of Autobots, was based on a ''[[Diaclone]]'' Lancia Stratos Turbo. The deco is based on a specific racing version, the "Group 5" Stratos,<ref name="group5">[http://www.geocities.ws/simontmallett/stratos.html Information about the real-life Group 5 Stratos]</ref> with sponsor decals by Italian airline {{w|Alitalia}}, which were changed to "Alital'''l'''a" for the toy (presumably to avoid licensing problems... yeah, it apparently did work like that back in the day). He comes with two rocket launchers that can fire four projectiles and two clear wings. In robot mode, the rocket launchers and the wings mount onto his shoulder and back respectively. The bar his launchers clip to is a 3mm bar, making this the earliest example of the 3mm [[C joint]] system in ''Transformers''. For some reason, Wheeljack's lower arms/hands cannot lock into his upper arms, leaving them hanging at an angle.

: In [[1986]], he was made available as a mail-away item (as he was no longer shipping to retail shelves) in multiple offers, including [[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]] fliers packed with most boxed ''Transformers'' toys. He cost $8 and two [[Robot Point]]s.

: Wheeljack's back-mounted wings can be left attached in vehicle mode, making them easier to keep track of. They can also be used in conjunction with the fold-down doors to give Wheeljack a flight mode.

: A [[retool]]ed and [[redeco]]ed version of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' toy was the basis for the [[Decepticon]] [[Exhaust]].

: [[Action Master]] Wheeljack is a non-transforming action figure sculpted based upon his cartoon appearances. He comes with the [[Turbo Racer]], a large red sports car based upon the Ferrari Testarossa that can seat two Action Master figures. The Turbo Racer has an "attack mode" where it transforms into something vaguely resembling an aircraft made from car parts.

: The Wheeljack figure was later redecoed to make [[Slicer (G1)|Slicer]].

He is cast in white plastic with mostly black paint. The toy has several [[sticker]]s to represent Wheeljack's earlier Lancia Stratos colours, including his racing number 539. He comes with a small black rifle that can be stored between his legs in vehicle mode, forming his tailpipe.

**''Accessories:'' Engine/"Laser-strafer rifle", "[[Wheeljack Instant Immobilizer|Cryo-Sword]]"

: ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Wheeljack is a retool of ''Alternators'' [[Grimlock (G1)/toys|Grimlock]]. He transforms into a 2005 (S197 chassis) model Ford Mustang GT, painted white with blue stripes. In vehicle mode, he features highly realistic styling, opening doors, hood and trunk, as well as a detailed car interior. In robot mode his removable engine becomes a double-barreled laser; he is also equipped with a "Cryo-Sword" made of clear plastic with blue paint apps.

:The Japanese ''Binaltech'' release of the figure has a slightly retooled head (see image inset), different paint applications, and is partially constructed of die-cast metal.

===''Generations''===
[[File:Generationstoy-Wheeljack.jpg|thumb|upright=2|You don't want to drop ''these'' wrenches.]]
*'''Wheeljack''' (Deluxe Class, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' 2 wrenches, 1 shoulder launcher

: ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Wheeljack is a retool of ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers]]'' [[Tracks (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Turbo Tracks]], featuring a new head, wings, clip-on wrenches (that replace the missile launchers), new vehicle mode front fenders and rear spoiler, and a modified transformation sequence (with new legs) so as to present a robot mode reminiscent of the original Wheeljack toy. The rear rotatable flip-out panel and the joint it's mounted on are still there, although the spoiler prevents it from being rotated, while the panel itself now lacks the mounting tabs that were previously there.
: He has a flight mode similar to Tracks's, though with the clip-on weapons attached over the wings instead of on the rear of the vehicle. He also retains Tracks' gun, which in reality was Wheeljack's own rocket launcher, and as such, nominally clips onto his shoulder. The gun was slightly redecoed, with the ''entire'' jointed rocket piece being painted over this time, and the C joint clip being a darker shade of gray due to [[gang-molding]] with other parts. With the new retool of his legs, the black inner parts under the car mode hood feature [[C joint|3mm bars]] where you can store Wheeljack's wrenches when not being held, as the clamps of the wrenches are actually C joint clips. Additionally, the wrenches ''themselves'' also have 3mm bars on them, in case Wheeljack should try to make some sort of new gadget. [[Ratchet (G1)/toys|Ratchet]] sold separately.

: Though Wheeljack's toy is heavily retooled, his instructions do not reflect this. They depict Wheeljack with his proper head, but most of the rest of the art depicts Tracks' parts, including Tracks' leg transformation. Do not attempt to extend Wheeljack's legs as far as the instruction art shows, because that's some excessive force that's not meant to be applied, in addition to the fact Wheeljack's new shin construction makes him ultimately shorter than Tracks. The instructions also show the wrenches mounting on the shoulders as weapons, with the shoulder launcher as a hand-held weapon.

: This version of the mold was retooled into ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Runamuck (G1)#Timelines|Runamuck]] and ''Timelines'' [[Runabout (G1)#Timelines|Over-Run]], while the original version was redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Tracks (SG)#Toys|Turbo Tracks]].

*'''Wheeljack''' (Deluxe Class, [[2011]]-[[March 26|03-26]])
**''ID number:'' '''UN-19'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 wrenches, 1 shoulder launcher

:Part of the ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' toyline, TakaraTomy's version of Wheeljack features some subtle differences from the ''Generations'' version. He now sports silver painted ears, metallic green paint and medium red paint for his stripes, which follow a different pattern, and continue down the back of the car. He no longer has a painted rear window (instead leaving it white with the stripe detailing), features different tail light applications, a silver outlined Autobot symbol (rather than one without a border), painted clear blue eyes, and a more blue-green plastic instead of the slightly brighter green of the Hasbro version.

:''United'' Wheeljack was released before ''Generations'' Wheeljack was released to retail stores, but not to online retailers. Wheeljack's United instructions show the proper transformation. His instructions also leave out the flying car mode, likely due to it being intended originally for Tracks and not Wheeljack.

: The accompanying Wheeljack Kreon figure comes with a clear-blue pistol and an alternate clear-blue torso piece. His helmet, which debuted in this set, is also used by [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Sunstreaker]].

**''ID number:'' '''MP-20'''
**''Accessories:'' Shoulder Cannon, missile, Laser Gun, Hypno-chip Disruptor ([[Amazon (website)|Amazon.co.jp]] exclusive)

: ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Wheeljack transforms into an officially-licensed Lancia Stratos with proper (licensed?) "Alital'''i'''a" markings. As with other figures in the ''Masterpiece'' line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his [[Character model|cartoon model]]. Roughly as tall as a [[Size class|Voyager Class]] figure, he is also in [[scale]] with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Optimus Prime]], and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|Prime's trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to larger entries in this line, Wheeljack lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic. Additionally, his side mirrors come detached out of the box, and can be found separately packaged inside the instruction bag. An extra pair of mirrors is included in case of loss or breakage.

:For accessories, he comes with shoulder launcher, including a removable non-firing missile, and the generic laser pistol he wielded in "[[The Ultimate Doom, Part 3]]". In vehicle mode, the shoulder launcher mounts on the roof like the weapons of the other ''Masterpiece'' cars, while the gun stores underneath as the car's exhaust pipe.

:As a curious Easter egg, dismantling his head reveals a mustache hidden under his faceplate, similar to the one [[Wheeljack (Animated)|his ''Animated'' counterpart]] sports.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-masterpiece-47/masterpiece-mp-20-wheeljack-hidden-face-reveal-181175/ "Masterpiece MP-20 Wheeljack - Hidden Face Reveal?" at TFW2005]</ref>

:If purchased in Japan through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], one additionally gets a toolbox based on the hypno-chip disabling device he used in "[[The Ultimate Doom, Part 3]]". If purchased in other Asian markets outside of Japan, a [[collector coin]] is included instead of or in addition to the toolbox. The coin package is shaped and colored like his hood deco, and identifies him as "Weeljack" {{sic}}.

**''Accessories:'' Knife-sword, double-barreled gun/fist/foot

:Part of wave 6 of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Wheeljack is an extensive retool of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Breakdown (G1)#Generations|Breakdown]] sporting a newly shelled alternate mode to more closely resemble a Lancia Stratos, plus a new head, chest, lower legs, and feet. Being a ''Combiner Wars'' figure, Wheeljack can combine to form [[Sky Reign#Generations|Sky Reign]] as either an arm or a leg. His smaller weapon can be held as either a rifle or a sword, and a ridge on its hilt can fit into a corresponding slot on the side of the vehicle mode. Like the other versions of the tooling before it, the larger weapon can peg onto his back. Wheeljack can also form into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs.

:This mold was also retooled as [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Generations|Sunstreaker]], [[Jumpstream#Generations|Jumpstream]], and [[Ravage (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Ravage]].

:Wheeljack comes with a copy of ''Transformers Windblade'' vol. 2 #2 (''Combiner Wars'' Part 3), "[[Mistakes and Mayhem]]". In Canada, Latin America, and Europe, he was available in different types of [[multilingual packaging]] including a character card featuring his comic book cover/[[package art]] instead.

**''Hasbro ID number'': '''WFC-E6'''

**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[May 30]], 2020
**''Accessories'': "Magnetic Inducer Launcher"<ref>[https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/brands/earthrise ''Earthrise'' website]</ref>

: Released in the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Deluxes, Wheeljack transforms into an Earth-based car resembling a Lancia Stratos with some portions of the vehicle's design being similar to the {{w|Lancia Rally}}, while his robot mode features proportions and colors more accurate to his depiction in the G1 cartoon. The only accessory included with Wheeljack is his shoulder launcher, based on his original 1984 toy's, which can plug into any [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] 5mm port or onto either shoulder using a slot and painted tab. His spoiler/"wing" halves are also attached via 5mm posts, so they can be easily removed and placed elsewhere if you want to do that. We won't stop you.

: His side doors and spoiler are tampographed with the Japanese text サイバトロン ("Cybertron"), Takara's classic name for the Autobots, as well as several Transformers references appearing as "sponsor logos". These include the places: "''[[Velocitron]] Racing [[1984]]''", "[[Praxus|PRAXUS]]", "[[protihex]]", and "[[Iacon (polity)|IACON]]"; and characters: "[[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]]", "[[Override (Cybertron)|OVERRIDE]]", "[[Ricochet (G1)|ricochet ricochet]]", "[[Wheeljack (G1)|"WHEELJACK" INVENZIONE]]" (Italian for invention, likely to Lancia being an Italian company), "[[Tracks (G1)|''AUTOBOTtracks'']]", and "''[[Aerobolt]]''". Other tampos include "[[A.I.R. Lock System|modulator]]", "[[Cybertron Con|CYBER TRON CON]]", the different racing number "638", "W MOTORS", "Lucky!", "rallyX" (likely due to the car mode being based off a Lancia Rally), a stylized A symbol, and an Autobot sigil. These tampos can be easily scratched, so care must be taken to avoid paint scuffs. Although renders show the figure cast in a crisp white plastic, the actual figure is a slightly green-tinted white.

:Like all Earthrise toys, the inside of the back of Wheeljack's package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map. Also in the box is a thin red piece of transparent plastic with which to read the star map. Wheeljack's piece of the map contains the labeled location of the planet "[[Antilla|ANTILLA]]"

:This mold was also used to make ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Selects]]'' [[Exhaust#Generations|Decepticon Exhaust]].

===Decoy===
[[File:Decoy wheeljack.jpg|upright=0.85|thumb]]
*'''Cybertron Hero Collection 22''' (Decoy multi-pack, 1985)

: This small red rubber figurine of Wheeljack was released in Japan as part of a large multi-pack of similar figures, which were used as playing pieces for ''Transformers'' board games. The figure features a number etched into its back which is the sum total of Wheeljack's [[Tech Spec]] ratings, which served some function in the gameplay the figures were used for.

*'''Wheeljack''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''22'''

: The Wheeljack figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (22, in Wheeljack's case). Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobot]]s.

**''Act'': '''7'''
**Accessories'': Stand

: A three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Wheeljack was available in the seventh ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (franchise)|Victory]]''-centric wave of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. Sadly, his shoulder-mounted launcher interferes with his ability to look straight ahead, plus it's on an extremely short peg that needs to be shaved down slightly to fit into the extremely shallow hole on his shoulder. Like all the figures in the wave, Wheeljack was available as both a standard full color figure and a metallic silver "pewter" version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

: The pewter version of the figure has a potential problem with connector peg breakage, due to said pegs often getting a layer of pewter paint before being forced into a socket, leading to sticking and tearing. Care should be used when moving or removing the arms; shaving down the socket interior with a thin hobby knife is usually sufficient to fix the issue.

: The pewter version of Wheeljack came packaged with the right "boot" piece needed to transform the wave's [[Star Saber (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Star Saber]] figure into Victory Saber.

Like all the figures in the series, Wheeljack was given a [[light-piping]] gimmick by being cast entirely in translucent blue plastic then painted everywhere except on his eyes and the back of his head. His shoulder-gun still has staying-in-place and head-clearance issues.

: Unlike the Japanese version, he was sold separate on a blister card and came packaged with the right arm of the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/toys#Heroes of Cybertron|Fortress Maximus]] "build-a-figure", as well as a character bio card.

==Notes==
[[File:DiacloneWheeljackConcept.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|If only...]]
* An early concept design of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' version of Generation 1 Wheeljack was printed in a catalog from late 1982/early 1983, depicting a considerably better proportioned robot mode with longer legs.
* Wheeljack was given an homage in the form of ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Downshift (Energon)|Downshift]]. Downshift has Wheeljack's colors, face, and even feet modeled after the Lancia grill. The character was even called Wheeljack in Japan's ''Super Link'' series, something Hasbro could not do because the name had already been used on [[Wheeljack (Armada)|a character]] from the [[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|previous series]]. Downshift was later [[redeco]]ed as the [[BotCon 2010]] [[exclusive]] ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Slicer (G1)|Slicer/"Decepticon Slice"]], representing the same character as the [[The Transformers (European toyline)|European-only Generation 1]] [[Action Master]] Slicer, a redeco of Wheeljack's Action Master toy (while simultaneously representing [[Wheeljack (SG)|another Wheeljack]]).
* ''Energon'' Downshift also received a new-sculpt toy in the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' line, which looked considerably less like Generation 1 Wheeljack save for the head sculpt... and the ''feet'', which are sculpted after Wheeljack's distinct Lancia Stratos grill feet. Now ''that's'' a weird homage.
* The retool of ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Alternators|Grimlock]] was originally planned to be [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]] (presumably in red), but ultimately ended up as Wheeljack instead, with a new head sculpt. Meanwhile, the head sculpt originally intended for Ford-Windcharger ended up being used for the retool of ''Alternators'' "Windcharger" (the Honda S2000 mold, designed as [[Overdrive]] and released under that name by Takara) instead, and now named "[[Decepticharge]]".
* ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Wheeljack was the original version of the sculpt, with [[Tracks (G1)/toys|Tracks]] (whose toy ended up in ''[[Reveal the Shield]]'') intended as the retool, but the two were ultimately released in reverse order (and different toy lines).<ref name="generations11">TakaraTomy staff interview in ''[[Transformers Generations 2011]]'' vol. 1, [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/428825-takaratomy-staff-interview-generations-united.html translation at TFW2005].</ref>
* A mock-up of a new [[Downshift (G1)|Downshift]] toy in the form of a ''Generations'' Wheeljack redeco was shown in ''[[Transformers Generations 2014]]'' Vol. 1 as one of ten potential exclusives for Vol. 2. The mock-up promised that if produced, the final product would make use of some [[Tracks (G1)#Transformers (2010)|Turbo Tracks]] tooling. During the fan poll held to determine which of the ten would be produced, however, Downshift placed dead last, having claimed only 1% of the votes.

* '''Wheeljack''' (1984, 1986)
**''Takara ID number:'' '''03'''[[File:G1Wheeljack toy.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|Do your arms hang low? Do they wobble to and fro?]]
**''Accessories:'' 2 shoulder cannons, 4 rockets, 2 wings

: The original Wheeljack toy, released as part of the [[1984]] series of Autobots, was based on a ''[[Diaclone]]'' Lancia Stratos Turbo. The deco is based on a specific racing version, the "Group 5" Stratos,<ref name="group5">[http://www.geocities.ws/simontmallett/stratos.html Information about the real-life Group 5 Stratos]</ref> with sponsor decals by Italian airline {{w|Alitalia}}, which were changed to "Alital'''l'''a" for the toy (presumably to avoid licensing problems... yeah, it apparently did work like that back in the day). He comes with two rocket launchers that can fire four projectiles and two clear wings. In robot mode, the rocket launchers and the wings mount onto his shoulder and back respectively. The bar his launchers clip to is a 3mm bar, making this the earliest example of the 3mm [[C joint]] system in ''Transformers''. For some reason, Wheeljack's lower arms/hands cannot lock into his upper arms, leaving them hanging at an angle.

: In [[1986]], he was made available as a mail-away item (as he was no longer shipping to retail shelves) in multiple offers, including [[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]] fliers packed with most boxed ''Transformers'' toys. He cost $8 and two [[Robot Point]]s.

: Wheeljack's back-mounted wings can be left attached in vehicle mode, making them easier to keep track of. They can also be used in conjunction with the fold-down doors to give Wheeljack a flight mode.

: A [[retool]]ed and [[redeco]]ed version of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' toy was the basis for the [[Decepticon]] [[Exhaust]].

*'''Wheeljack''' (Deluxe Class, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' 2 wrenches, 1 shoulder launcher

: ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Wheeljack is a retool of ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers]]'' [[Tracks (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Turbo Tracks]], featuring a new head, wings, clip-on wrenches (that replace the missile launchers), new vehicle mode front fenders and rear spoiler, and a modified transformation sequence (with new legs) so as to present a robot mode reminiscent of the original Wheeljack toy. The rear rotatable flip-out panel and the joint it's mounted on are still there, although the spoiler prevents it from being rotated, while the panel itself now lacks the mounting tabs that were previously there.
: He has a flight mode similar to Tracks's, though with the clip-on weapons attached over the wings instead of on the rear of the vehicle. He also retains Tracks' gun, which in reality was Wheeljack's own rocket launcher, and as such, nominally clips onto his shoulder. The gun was slightly redecoed, with the ''entire'' jointed rocket piece being painted over this time, and the C joint clip being a darker shade of gray due to [[gang-molding]] with other parts. With the new retool of his legs, the black inner parts under the car mode hood feature [[C joint|3mm bars]] where you can store Wheeljack's wrenches when not being held, as the clamps of the wrenches are actually C joint clips. Additionally, the wrenches ''themselves'' also have 3mm bars on them, in case Wheeljack should try to make some sort of new gadget. [[Ratchet (G1)/toys|Ratchet]] sold separately.

: Though Wheeljack's toy is heavily retooled, his instructions do not reflect this. They depict Wheeljack with his proper head, but most of the rest of the art depicts Tracks' parts, including Tracks' leg transformation. Do not attempt to extend Wheeljack's legs as far as the instruction art shows, because that's some excessive force that's not meant to be applied, in addition to the fact Wheeljack's new shin construction makes him ultimately shorter than Tracks. The instructions also show the wrenches mounting on the shoulders as weapons, with the shoulder launcher as a hand-held weapon.

: This version of the mold was retooled into ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Runamuck (G1)#Timelines|Runamuck]] and ''Timelines'' [[Runabout (G1)#Timelines|Over-Run]], while the original version was redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Tracks (SG)#Toys|Turbo Tracks]].

*'''Wheeljack''' (Deluxe Class, [[2011]]-[[March 26|03-26]])
**''ID number:'' '''UN-19'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 wrenches, 1 shoulder launcher

:Part of the ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' toyline, TakaraTomy's version of Wheeljack features some subtle differences from the ''Generations'' version. He now sports silver painted ears, metallic green paint and medium red paint for his stripes, which follow a different pattern, and continue down the back of the car. He no longer has a painted rear window (instead leaving it white with the stripe detailing), features different tail light applications, a silver outlined Autobot symbol (rather than one without a border), painted clear blue eyes, and a more blue-green plastic instead of the slightly brighter green of the Hasbro version.

:''United'' Wheeljack was released before ''Generations'' Wheeljack was released to retail stores, but not to online retailers. Wheeljack's United instructions show the proper transformation. His instructions also leave out the flying car mode, likely due to it being intended originally for Tracks and not Wheeljack.

**''ID number:'' '''MP-20'''
**''Accessories:'' Shoulder Cannon, missile, Laser Gun, Hypno-chip Disruptor ([[Amazon (website)|Amazon.co.jp]] exclusive)

: ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Wheeljack transforms into an officially-licensed Lancia Stratos with proper (licensed?) "Alital'''i'''a" markings. As with other figures in the ''Masterpiece'' line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his [[Character model|cartoon model]]. Roughly as tall as a [[Size class|Voyager Class]] figure, he is also in [[scale]] with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Optimus Prime]], and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|Prime's trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to larger entries in this line, Wheeljack lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic. Additionally, his side mirrors come detached out of the box, and can be found separately packaged inside the instruction bag. An extra pair of mirrors is included in case of loss or breakage.

:For accessories, he comes with shoulder launcher, including a removable non-firing missile, and the generic laser pistol he wielded in "[[The Ultimate Doom, Part 3]]". In vehicle mode, the shoulder launcher mounts on the roof like the weapons of the other ''Masterpiece'' cars, while the gun stores underneath as the car's exhaust pipe.

:As a curious Easter egg, dismantling his head reveals a mustache hidden under his faceplate, similar to the one [[Wheeljack (Animated)|his ''Animated'' counterpart]] sports.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-masterpiece-47/masterpiece-mp-20-wheeljack-hidden-face-reveal-181175/ "Masterpiece MP-20 Wheeljack - Hidden Face Reveal?" at TFW2005]</ref>

:If purchased in Japan through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], one additionally gets a toolbox based on the hypno-chip disabling device he used in "[[The Ultimate Doom, Part 3]]". If purchased in other Asian markets outside of Japan, a [[collector coin]] is included instead of or in addition to the toolbox. The coin package is shaped and colored like his hood deco, and identifies him as "Weeljack" {{sic}}.

:This mold has some very convincing knockoffs, down to the copyright stamping and branding reading "TONY" instead of "TOMY"

:Part of wave 6 of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Wheeljack is an extensive retool of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Breakdown (G1)#Generations|Breakdown]] sporting a newly shelled alternate mode to more closely resemble a Lancia Stratos, plus a new head, chest, lower legs, and feet. Being a ''Combiner Wars'' figure, Wheeljack can combine to form [[Sky Reign#Generations|Sky Reign]] as either an arm or a leg. His smaller weapon can be held as either a rifle or a sword, and a ridge on its hilt can fit into a corresponding slot on the side of the vehicle mode. Like the other versions of the tooling before it, the larger weapon can peg onto his back. Wheeljack can also form into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs.

:This mold was also retooled as [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Generations|Sunstreaker]], [[Jumpstream#Generations|Jumpstream]], and [[Ravage (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Ravage]].

:Wheeljack comes with a copy of ''Transformers Windblade'' vol. 2 #2 (''Combiner Wars'' Part 3), "[[Mistakes and Mayhem]]". In Canada, Latin America, and Europe, he was available in different types of [[multilingual packaging]] including a character card featuring his comic book cover/[[package art]] instead.

: Released in the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Deluxes, Wheeljack transforms into an Earth-based car resembling a Lancia Stratos with some portions of the vehicle's design being similar to the {{w|Lancia Rally}}, while his robot mode features proportions and colors more accurate to his depiction in the G1 cartoon. The only accessory included with Wheeljack is his shoulder launcher, based on his original 1984 toy's, which can plug into any [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] 5mm port or onto either shoulder using a slot and painted tab. His spoiler/"wing" halves are also attached via 5mm posts, so they can be easily removed and placed elsewhere if you want to do that. We won't stop you.

: His side doors and spoiler are tampographed with the Japanese text サイバトロン ("Cybertron"), Takara's classic name for the Autobots, as well as several Transformers references appearing as "sponsor logos". These include the places: "''[[Velocitron]] Racing [[1984]]''", "[[Praxus|PRAXUS]]", "[[protihex]]", and "[[Iacon (polity)|IACON]]"; and characters: "[[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]]", "[[Override (Cybertron)|OVERRIDE]]", "[[Ricochet (G1)|ricochet ricochet]]", "[[Wheeljack (G1)|"WHEELJACK" INVENZIONE]]" (Italian for invention, likely to Lancia being an Italian company), "[[Tracks (G1)|''AUTOBOTtracks'']]", and "''[[Aerobolt]]''". Other tampos include "[[A.I.R. Lock System|modulator]]", "[[Cybertron Con|CYBER TRON CON]]", the different racing number "638", "W MOTORS", "Lucky!", "rallyX" (likely due to the car mode being based off a Lancia Rally), a stylized A symbol, and an Autobot sigil. These tampos can be easily scratched, so care must be taken to avoid paint scuffs. Although renders show the figure cast in a crisp white plastic, the actual figure is a slightly green-tinted white.

:Like all Earthrise toys, the inside of the back of Wheeljack's package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map. Also in the box is a thin red piece of transparent plastic with which to read the star map. Wheeljack's piece of the map contains the labeled location of the planet "[[Antilla|ANTILLA]]"

: The Wheeljack figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (22, in Wheeljack's case).

: A three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Wheeljack was available in the seventh ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (franchise)|Victory]]''-centric wave of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. Sadly, his shoulder-mounted launcher interferes with his ability to look straight ahead, plus it's on an extremely short peg that needs to be shaved down slightly to fit into the extremely shallow hole on his shoulder. Like all the figures in the wave, Wheeljack was available as both a standard full color figure and a metallic silver "pewter" version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

: The pewter version of the figure has a potential problem with connector peg breakage, due to said pegs often getting a layer of pewter paint before being forced into a socket, leading to sticking and tearing. Care should be used when moving or removing the arms; shaving down the socket interior with a thin hobby knife is usually sufficient to fix the issue.

: The pewter version of Wheeljack came packaged with the right "boot" piece needed to transform the wave's [[Star Saber (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Star Saber]] figure into Victory Saber.

==Notes==
[[File:DiacloneWheeljackConcept.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|If only...]]
* An early concept design of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' version of Generation 1 Wheeljack was printed in a catalog from late 1982/early 1983, depicting a considerably better proportioned robot mode with longer legs.
* Wheeljack was given an homage in the form of ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Downshift (Energon)|Downshift]]. Downshift has Wheeljack's colors, face, and even feet modeled after the Lancia grill. The character was even called Wheeljack in Japan's ''Super Link'' series, something Hasbro could not do because the name had already been used on [[Wheeljack (Armada)|a character]] from the [[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|previous series]]. Downshift was later [[redeco]]ed as the [[BotCon 2010]] [[exclusive]] ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Slicer (G1)|Slicer/"Decepticon Slice"]], representing the same character as the [[The Transformers (European toyline)|European-only Generation 1]] [[Action Master]] Slicer, a redeco of Wheeljack's Action Master toy (while simultaneously representing [[Wheeljack (SG)|another Wheeljack]]).
* ''Energon'' Downshift also received a new-sculpt toy in the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' line, which looked considerably less like Generation 1 Wheeljack save for the head sculpt... and the ''feet'', which are sculpted after Wheeljack's distinct Lancia Stratos grill feet. Now ''that's'' a weird homage.
* The retool of ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Alternators|Grimlock]] was originally planned to be [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]] (presumably in red), but ultimately ended up as Wheeljack instead, with a new head sculpt. Meanwhile, the head sculpt originally intended for Ford-Windcharger ended up being used for the retool of ''Alternators'' "Windcharger" (the Honda S2000 mold, designed as [[Overdrive]] and released under that name by Takara) instead, and now named "[[Decepticharge]]".
* ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Wheeljack was the original version of the sculpt, with [[Tracks (G1)/toys|Tracks]] (whose toy ended up in ''[[Reveal the Shield]]'') intended as the retool, but the two were ultimately released in reverse order (and different toy lines).<ref name="generations11">TakaraTomy staff interview in ''[[Transformers Generations 2011]]'' vol. 1, [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/428825-takaratomy-staff-interview-generations-united.html translation at TFW2005].</ref>
* A mock-up of a new [[Downshift (G1)|Downshift]] toy in the form of a ''Generations'' Wheeljack redeco was shown in ''[[Transformers Generations 2014]]'' Vol. 1 as one of ten potential exclusives for Vol. 2. The mock-up promised that if produced, the final product would make use of some [[Tracks (G1)#Transformers (2010)|Turbo Tracks]] tooling. During the fan poll held to determine which of the ten would be produced, however, Downshift placed dead last, having claimed only 1% of the votes.

'''[[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]]'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s toys blow up in his labs, but hopefully these won't!

==Toys==
===''The Transformers''===
{{anchor|Generation 1}}
* '''Wheeljack''' (1984, 1986)
**''Takara ID number:'' '''03'''[[File:G1Wheeljack toy.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|Do your arms hang low? Do they wobble to and fro?]]
**''Accessories:'' 2 shoulder cannons, 4 rockets, 2 wings

: The original Wheeljack toy, released as part of the [[1984]] series of Autobots, was based on a ''[[Diaclone]]'' Lancia Stratos Turbo. The deco is based on a specific racing version, the "Group 5" Stratos,<ref name="group5">[http://www.geocities.ws/simontmallett/stratos.html Information about the real-life Group 5 Stratos]</ref> with sponsor decals by Italian airline {{w|Alitalia}}, which were changed to "Alital'''l'''a" for the toy (presumably to avoid licensing problems... yeah, it apparently did work like that back in the day). He comes with two rocket launchers that can fire four projectiles and two clear wings. In robot mode, the rocket launchers and the wings mount onto his shoulder and back respectively. The bar his launchers clip to is a 3mm bar, making this the earliest example of the 3mm [[C joint]] system in ''Transformers''. For some reason, Wheeljack's lower arms/hands cannot lock into his upper arms, leaving them hanging at an angle.

: In [[1986]], he was made available as a mail-away item (as he was no longer shipping to retail shelves) in multiple offers, including [[Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction (G1)|Digital Doom on the Highway to Destruction]] fliers packed with most boxed ''Transformers'' toys. He cost $8 and two [[Robot Point]]s.

: Wheeljack's back-mounted wings can be left attached in vehicle mode, making them easier to keep track of. They can also be used in conjunction with the fold-down doors to give Wheeljack a flight mode.

: A [[retool]]ed and [[redeco]]ed version of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' toy was the basis for the [[Decepticon]] [[Exhaust]].

* '''Wheeljack / Turbo Racer''' (Action Master, 1990)
**''Accessories:'' 2 missiles

: [[Action Master]] Wheeljack is a non-transforming action figure sculpted based upon his cartoon appearances. He comes with the [[Turbo Racer]], a large red sports car based upon the Ferrari Testarossa that can seat two Action Master figures. The Turbo Racer has an "attack mode" where it transforms into something vaguely resembling an aircraft made from car parts.

: The Wheeljack figure was later redecoed to make [[Slicer (G1)|Slicer]].

:This version of Wheeljack is a redeco of the [[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|2001 ''Robots in Disguise'']] [[Spy Changer]] [[Daytonus#Robots in Disguise (2001)|Daytonus]], transforming into a Porsche 962 Le Mans racing car: specifically, a Kremer 962CK6. He is cast in white plastic with mostly black paint. The toy has several [[sticker]]s to represent Wheeljack's earlier Lancia Stratos colours, including his racing number 539. He comes with a small black rifle that can be stored between his legs in vehicle mode, forming his tailpipe.

:The [[:File:G2Go-BotGTPRacer.jpg|original unreleased ''Generation 2'' deco]] of this mold was also utilized as the character [[Crash Test (G2)|Crash Test]].

**''Alternator ID number:'' '''13'''
**''Binaltech ID number:'' '''BT-14'''
**''Accessories:'' Engine/"Laser-strafer rifle", "[[Wheeljack Instant Immobilizer|Cryo-Sword]]"

: ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' Wheeljack is a retool of ''Alternators'' [[Grimlock (G1)/toys|Grimlock]]. He transforms into a 2005 (S197 chassis) model Ford Mustang GT, painted white with blue stripes. In vehicle mode, he features highly realistic styling, opening doors, hood and trunk, as well as a detailed car interior. In robot mode his removable engine becomes a double-barreled laser; he is also equipped with a "Cryo-Sword" made of clear plastic with blue paint apps.

:The Japanese ''Binaltech'' release of the figure has a slightly retooled head (see image inset), different paint applications, and is partially constructed of die-cast metal.

===''Generations''===
[[File:Generationstoy-Wheeljack.jpg|thumb|upright=2|You don't want to drop ''these'' wrenches.]]
*'''Wheeljack''' (Deluxe Class, 2011)
**''Accessories:'' 2 wrenches, 1 shoulder launcher

: ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Wheeljack is a retool of ''[[Transformers (2010 toyline)|Transformers]]'' [[Tracks (G1)/toys#Transformers (2010)|Turbo Tracks]], featuring a new head, wings, clip-on wrenches (that replace the missile launchers), new vehicle mode front fenders and rear spoiler, and a modified transformation sequence (with new legs) so as to present a robot mode reminiscent of the original Wheeljack toy. The rear rotatable flip-out panel and the joint it's mounted on are still there, although the spoiler prevents it from being rotated, while the panel itself now lacks the mounting tabs that were previously there.
: He has a flight mode similar to Tracks's, though with the clip-on weapons attached over the wings instead of on the rear of the vehicle. He also retains Tracks' gun, which in reality was Wheeljack's own rocket launcher, and as such, nominally clips onto his shoulder. The gun was slightly redecoed, with the ''entire'' jointed rocket piece being painted over this time, and the C joint clip being a darker shade of gray due to [[gang-molding]] with other parts. With the new retool of his legs, the black inner parts under the car mode hood feature [[C joint|3mm bars]] where you can store Wheeljack's wrenches when not being held, as the clamps of the wrenches are actually C joint clips. Additionally, the wrenches ''themselves'' also have 3mm bars on them, in case Wheeljack should try to make some sort of new gadget. [[Ratchet (G1)/toys|Ratchet]] sold separately.

: Though Wheeljack's toy is heavily retooled, his instructions do not reflect this. They depict Wheeljack with his proper head, but most of the rest of the art depicts Tracks' parts, including Tracks' leg transformation. Do not attempt to extend Wheeljack's legs as far as the instruction art shows, because that's some excessive force that's not meant to be applied, in addition to the fact Wheeljack's new shin construction makes him ultimately shorter than Tracks. The instructions also show the wrenches mounting on the shoulders as weapons, with the shoulder launcher as a hand-held weapon.

: This version of the mold was retooled into ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Runamuck (G1)#Timelines|Runamuck]] and ''Timelines'' [[Runabout (G1)#Timelines|Over-Run]], while the original version was redecoed into ''[[Transformers: Shattered Glass (franchise)|Shattered Glass]]'' [[Tracks (SG)#Toys|Turbo Tracks]].

===''United''===

*'''Wheeljack''' (Deluxe Class, [[2011]]-[[March 26|03-26]])
**''ID number:'' '''UN-19'''
**''Accessories:'' 2 wrenches, 1 shoulder launcher

:Part of the ''[[Transformers United|United]]'' toyline, TakaraTomy's version of Wheeljack features some subtle differences from the ''Generations'' version. He now sports silver painted ears, metallic green paint and medium red paint for his stripes, which follow a different pattern, and continue down the back of the car. He no longer has a painted rear window (instead leaving it white with the stripe detailing), features different tail light applications, a silver outlined Autobot symbol (rather than one without a border), painted clear blue eyes, and a more blue-green plastic instead of the slightly brighter green of the Hasbro version.

:''United'' Wheeljack was released before ''Generations'' Wheeljack was released to retail stores, but not to online retailers. Wheeljack's United instructions show the proper transformation. His instructions also leave out the flying car mode, likely due to it being intended originally for Tracks and not Wheeljack.

: The "[[Street Showdown]]" set comes with a large Wheeljack build that can be built into a robot or a car. In car build, he can seat a single [[Kreon]] figure, mainly the green-suited [[human]] "Driver".

: The accompanying Wheeljack Kreon figure comes with a clear-blue pistol and an alternate clear-blue torso piece. His helmet, which debuted in this set, is also used by [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Kre-O|Sunstreaker]].

: His proportions are oddly similar to those of [[Wheeljack (Movie)#Toys|''Dark of the Moon'' Wheeljack]], specifically his ''Movie Advanced'' retool.

**''ID number:'' '''MP-20'''
**''Accessories:'' Shoulder Cannon, missile, Laser Gun, Hypno-chip Disruptor ([[Amazon (website)|Amazon.co.jp]] exclusive)

: ''[[The Transformers: Masterpiece|Masterpiece]]'' Wheeljack transforms into an officially-licensed Lancia Stratos with proper (licensed?) "Alital'''i'''a" markings. As with other figures in the ''Masterpiece'' line, he is intended to be an accurate representation of his [[Character model|cartoon model]]. Roughly as tall as a [[Size class|Voyager Class]] figure, he is also in [[scale]] with [[Optimus Prime (G1)/toys#MP10|MP-10 Optimus Prime]], and can fit inside [[Combat Deck (G1)#MP10|Prime's trailer]] in vehicle mode. In contrast to larger entries in this line, Wheeljack lacks [[die-cast]] parts, and his tires are cast in hard, non-rubberized plastic. Additionally, his side mirrors come detached out of the box, and can be found separately packaged inside the instruction bag. An extra pair of mirrors is included in case of loss or breakage.

:For accessories, he comes with shoulder launcher, including a removable non-firing missile, and the generic laser pistol he wielded in "[[The Ultimate Doom, Part 3]]". In vehicle mode, the shoulder launcher mounts on the roof like the weapons of the other ''Masterpiece'' cars, while the gun stores underneath as the car's exhaust pipe.

:As a curious Easter egg, dismantling his head reveals a mustache hidden under his faceplate, similar to the one [[Wheeljack (Animated)|his ''Animated'' counterpart]] sports.<ref>[http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-masterpiece-47/masterpiece-mp-20-wheeljack-hidden-face-reveal-181175/ "Masterpiece MP-20 Wheeljack - Hidden Face Reveal?" at TFW2005]</ref>

:If purchased in Japan through [[Amazon (website)|Amazon]], one additionally gets a toolbox based on the hypno-chip disabling device he used in "[[The Ultimate Doom, Part 3]]". If purchased in other Asian markets outside of Japan, a [[collector coin]] is included instead of or in addition to the toolbox. The coin package is shaped and colored like his hood deco, and identifies him as "Weeljack" {{sic}}.

:This mold has some very convincing knockoffs, down to the copyright stamping and branding reading "TONY" instead of "TOMY"

:This mold was redecoed and retooled into [[Exhaust#Masterpiece|MP-23 Exhaust]].

*'''Wheeljack''' (Deluxe Class, 2016)
**'''1 OF 5: [[Sky Reign]]'''
**''Accessories:'' Knife-sword, double-barreled gun/fist/foot

:Part of wave 6 of ''[[Combiner Wars (toyline)|Combiner Wars]]'' Deluxe Class toys, Wheeljack is an extensive retool of ''Combiner Wars'' [[Breakdown (G1)#Generations|Breakdown]] sporting a newly shelled alternate mode to more closely resemble a Lancia Stratos, plus a new head, chest, lower legs, and feet. Being a ''Combiner Wars'' figure, Wheeljack can combine to form [[Sky Reign#Generations|Sky Reign]] as either an arm or a leg. His smaller weapon can be held as either a rifle or a sword, and a ridge on its hilt can fit into a corresponding slot on the side of the vehicle mode. Like the other versions of the tooling before it, the larger weapon can peg onto his back. Wheeljack can also form into one of [[Godbomber#Legends|''Legends'' Godbomber]]'s legs.

:This mold was also retooled as [[Sunstreaker (G1)/toys#Generations|Sunstreaker]], [[Jumpstream#Generations|Jumpstream]], and [[Ravage (G1)/toys#Combiner Wars|Ravage]]. The mold was also repainted with a new head as [[Lightspeed (G1 Technobot)#Unite Warriors 2|Unite Warriors Lightspeed]], and again with a different head as the [[Transformers Figure Subscription Service]] [[exclusive]] [[Punch (G1)#Generations|Wrecker Counterpunch]].

:Wheeljack comes with a copy of ''Transformers Windblade'' vol. 2 #2 (''Combiner Wars'' Part 3), "[[Mistakes and Mayhem]]". In Canada, Latin America, and Europe, he was available in different types of [[multilingual packaging]] including a character card featuring his comic book cover/[[package art]] instead. He and the last three waves of Combiner Wars Deluxe and Voyager figures later showed up at TJ Maxx in the U.S. at reduced prices with the collector card.

**''TakaraTomy release date'': [[May 30]], 2020
**''Accessories'': "Magnetic Inducer Launcher"<ref>[https://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/brands/earthrise ''Earthrise'' website]</ref>

: Released in the first wave of ''[[War for Cybertron: Earthrise|Earthrise]]'' Deluxes, Wheeljack transforms into an Earth-based car resembling a Lancia Stratos with some portions of the vehicle's design being similar to the {{w|Lancia Rally}}, while his robot mode features proportions and colors more accurate to his depiction in the G1 cartoon. The only accessory included with Wheeljack is his shoulder launcher, based on his original 1984 toy's, which can plug into any [[C.O.M.B.A.T. System]] 5mm port or onto either shoulder using a slot and painted tab. His spoiler/"wing" halves are also attached via 5mm posts, so they can be easily removed and placed elsewhere if you want to do that. We won't stop you.

: His side doors and spoiler are tampographed with the Japanese text サイバトロン ("Cybertron"), Takara's classic name for the Autobots, as well as several Transformers references appearing as "sponsor logos". These include the places: "''[[Velocitron]] Racing [[1984]]''", "[[Praxus|PRAXUS]]", "[[protihex]]", and "[[Iacon (polity)|IACON]]"; and characters: "[[Swerve (G1)|Swerve]]", "[[Override (Cybertron)|OVERRIDE]]", "[[Ricochet (G1)|ricochet ricochet]]", "[[Wheeljack (G1)|"WHEELJACK" INVENZIONE]]" (Italian for invention, likely to Lancia being an Italian company), "[[Tracks (G1)|''AUTOBOTtracks'']]", and "''[[Aerobolt]]''". Other tampos include "[[A.I.R. Lock System|modulator]]", "[[Cybertron Con|CYBER TRON CON]]", the different racing number "638", "W MOTORS", "Lucky!", "rallyX" (likely due to the car mode being based off a Lancia Rally), a stylized A symbol, and an Autobot sigil. These tampos can be easily scratched, so care must be taken to avoid paint scuffs. Although renders show the figure cast in a crisp white plastic, the actual figure is a slightly green-tinted white.

:Like all Earthrise toys, the inside of the back of Wheeljack's package includes an exclusive clip-and-save piece of a larger star map. Also in the box is a thin red piece of transparent plastic with which to read the star map. Wheeljack's piece of the map contains the labeled location of the planet "[[Antilla|ANTILLA]]"

:This mold was also used to make ''[[Generations Selects (toyline)|Selects]]'' [[Exhaust#Generations|Decepticon Exhaust]].

:Also made by HG Toys, Zipper Clip Wheeljack is a scaled-down version of Stamp Bot Wheeljack, minus the rubber stamp base. Molded onto his head was a small hole, through which a metal clip was looped, allowing the figurine to attach to the end of a zipper.

*'''Cybertron Hero Collection 22''' (Decoy multi-pack, 1985)

: This small red rubber figurine of Wheeljack was released in Japan as part of a large multi-pack of similar figures, which were used as playing pieces for ''Transformers'' board games. The figure features a number etched into its back which is the sum total of Wheeljack's [[Tech Spec]] ratings, which served some function in the gameplay the figures were used for.

*'''Wheeljack''' (1987)
**''Decoy number:'' '''22'''

: The Wheeljack figurine was later brought over to [[Hasbro]] markets as part of the [[Decoy]] promotion, largely identical to the Japanese release except for the fact that the number on his back was replaced with a simple "checklist" number (22, in Wheeljack's case). Like all Autobot Decoys, he was a randomly-chosen pack-in available with the carded [[Throttlebot]]s, [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], [[Protectobot (G1)|Protectobots]], and [[Technobot (G1)|Technobot]]s.

*'''Wheeljack''' (2002)
**''Act'': '''7'''
**Accessories'': Stand

: A three-inch tall [[plastic|PVC]] figurine of Wheeljack was available in the seventh ''[[Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers: Victory (franchise)|Victory]]''-centric wave of [[TakaraTomy|Takara]]'s ''[[Heroes of Cybertron|Super Collection Figure]]'' line. Sadly, his shoulder-mounted launcher interferes with his ability to look straight ahead, plus it's on an extremely short peg that needs to be shaved down slightly to fit into the extremely shallow hole on his shoulder. Like all the figures in the wave, Wheeljack was available as both a standard full color figure and a metallic silver "pewter" version, one of each of which was available in a standard case of twelve [[blindpacking|blindpacked]] figures.

: The pewter version of the figure has a potential problem with connector peg breakage, due to said pegs often getting a layer of pewter paint before being forced into a socket, leading to sticking and tearing. Care should be used when moving or removing the arms; shaving down the socket interior with a thin hobby knife is usually sufficient to fix the issue.

: The pewter version of Wheeljack came packaged with the right "boot" piece needed to transform the wave's [[Star Saber (G1)#Super Collection Figure|Star Saber]] figure into Victory Saber.

: Wheeljack's ''Super Collection Figure'' PVC was released the following year by Hasbro as part of their ''[[Heroes of Cybertron]]'' line. Like all the figures in the series, Wheeljack was given a [[light-piping]] gimmick by being cast entirely in translucent blue plastic then painted everywhere except on his eyes and the back of his head. His shoulder-gun still has staying-in-place and head-clearance issues.

: Unlike the Japanese version, he was sold separate on a blister card and came packaged with the right arm of the [[Fortress Maximus (G1)/toys#Heroes of Cybertron|Fortress Maximus]] "build-a-figure", as well as a character bio card.

==Notes==
[[File:DiacloneWheeljackConcept.jpg|upright=1.67|thumb|If only...]]
* An early concept design of the ''[[Diaclone]]'' version of Generation 1 Wheeljack was printed in a catalog from late 1982/early 1983, depicting a considerably better proportioned robot mode with longer legs.
* Wheeljack was given an homage in the form of ''[[Transformers: Energon (franchise)|Energon]]'' [[Downshift (Energon)|Downshift]]. Downshift has Wheeljack's colors, face, and even feet modeled after the Lancia grill. The character was even called Wheeljack in Japan's ''Super Link'' series, something Hasbro could not do because the name had already been used on [[Wheeljack (Armada)|a character]] from the [[Transformers: Armada (franchise)|previous series]]. Downshift was later [[redeco]]ed as the [[BotCon 2010]] [[exclusive]] ''[[Transformers Timelines (toyline)|Timelines]]'' [[Slicer (G1)|Slicer/"Decepticon Slice"]], representing the same character as the [[The Transformers (European toyline)|European-only Generation 1]] [[Action Master]] Slicer, a redeco of Wheeljack's Action Master toy (while simultaneously representing [[Wheeljack (SG)|another Wheeljack]]).
* ''Energon'' Downshift also received a new-sculpt toy in the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]'' line, which looked considerably less like Generation 1 Wheeljack save for the head sculpt... and the ''feet'', which are sculpted after Wheeljack's distinct Lancia Stratos grill feet. Now ''that's'' a weird homage.
* The retool of ''[[Transformers: Alternators|Alternators]]'' [[Grimlock (G1)/toys#Alternators|Grimlock]] was originally planned to be [[Windcharger (G1)|Windcharger]] (presumably in red), but ultimately ended up as Wheeljack instead, with a new head sculpt. Meanwhile, the head sculpt originally intended for Ford-Windcharger ended up being used for the retool of ''Alternators'' "Windcharger" (the Honda S2000 mold, designed as [[Overdrive]] and released under that name by Takara) instead, and now named "[[Decepticharge]]".
* ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]'' Wheeljack was the original version of the sculpt, with [[Tracks (G1)/toys|Tracks]] (whose toy ended up in ''[[Reveal the Shield]]'') intended as the retool, but the two were ultimately released in reverse order (and different toy lines).<ref name="generations11">TakaraTomy staff interview in ''[[Transformers Generations 2011]]'' vol. 1, [http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/428825-takaratomy-staff-interview-generations-united.html translation at TFW2005].</ref>
* A mock-up of a new [[Downshift (G1)|Downshift]] toy in the form of a ''Generations'' Wheeljack redeco was shown in ''[[Transformers Generations 2014]]'' Vol. 1 as one of ten potential exclusives for Vol. 2. The mock-up promised that if produced, the final product would make use of some [[Tracks (G1)#Transformers (2010)|Turbo Tracks]] tooling. During the fan poll held to determine which of the ten would be produced, however, Downshift placed dead last, having claimed only 1% of the votes.

:''Cheetor is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Cyberverse (franchise)|Cyberverse]] [[continuity family]].''

[[File:CyberverseCheetor.jpg|thumb|300px|"[[Chester|DANGEROUSLY cheesy!]]"]]

'''Cheetor''' was once one with the [[AllSpark|Allspark]], until he emerged from it on Earth in his new catlike form to serve as the relic's guardian. A dedicated protector with devout faith in the Allspark, he draws power from the relic to gain enormous strength and the ability to create [[GroundBridge]]s at will. Knowing the threat that the [[Decepticon]]s pose, Cheetor has chosen to join the [[Autobot]]s, who have taken to teaching the naïve young bot about the ways of this new world. In turn, he stands with them to defend the side of good, hoping the Autobots and Decepticons will someday settle their differences and together become one with the Allspark again.

[[File:Cyberverse Cheetor Beast Mode.jpg|left|thumb|"I'm a moon cheetah! You wanna do something with this?"]]
Cheetor was once one with the Allspark, but was brought to [[Earth]] by it and given his bestial form to act as the relic's guardian. For countless years, Cheetor traveled the world with the Allspark, using [[GroundBridge]]s to move from place to place. That all changed when he first noticed the Cybertronians [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] and [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]]. From that point on, he observed both the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s from afar, hoping their war would one day come to an end so they could all be united together in the Allspark. {{storylink|Dark Birth}}

In the aftermath of a battle on the [[moon (moon)|moon]], Bumblebee spotted Cheetor watching them all, but by the time he could draw anyone else's attention, Cheetor was gone. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}} Cheetor observed the fallen form of [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] before leaving the moon, accidentally leaving the GroundBridge open behind him. {{storylink|Dark Birth}} Bumblebee continued searching for information about the mysterious "moon cheetah", only to spot him watching the Autobots from outside the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']]. Bumblebee and [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]] attempted to catch him, but Cheetor used a GroundBridge to escape, with Hot Rod inadvertently following him through. {{storylink|The Visitor}} The GroundBridge emerged in front of the ''[[Nemesis (Cyberverse)|Nemesis]]'', and after a scuffle with the Decepticons, Hot Rod fled the scene. Before he could retaliate, [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] spotted Cheetor entering a GroundBridge, piquing his curiosity. {{storylink|Bring Me The Spark Of Optimus Prime}}

When [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] and Megatron used the GroundBridge network to triangulate the Allspark's location, Cheetor manipulated the portals so that only the leaders could enter the cave and introduced himself to the two leaders. To determine which of them was worthy of possessing the Allspark, Cheetor challenged them to compete in "The Trials". When the trial of knowledge proved ineffective, Cheetor instead proposed a trial by combat, granting each contender new [[spark armor]]. While he was distracted by the battle, Starscream appeared and stole the Allspark. Distraught at the seeming failure of his life's purpose, Cheetor offered to aid Optimus and his team in reclaiming the Allspark. {{storylink|Trials}}

After explaining his origins to the Autobots, Cheetor joined them in a raid on the ''Nemesis'' where he attempted to discern the Allspark's location only to find that he could not sense it. Though he initially feared that the artefact had abandoned him, he eventually realized that the Allspark was not on the ship at all, using this revelation to force the others to stop fighting and have Megatron reveal that Starscream had gone rogue. The discussion caused everyone to realize that Cheetor's lunar portal had healed Starscream's otherwise fatal wounds and laid the foundations for the latest round of Autobot/Decepticon peace talks. {{storylink|Dark Birth}} As Optimus and Megatron negotiated, Cheetor expressed hope that the peace talk would be successful, providing a mark contrast to Hot Rod and Bumblebee's attitude, but found his optimism quickly misplaced after [[Bludgeon (Cyberverse)|Bludgeon]]'s fatal attack on [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]] led to a free for all. {{storylink|Parley}}

Cheetor was among a group of Autobots responding to a Decepticon distress call. When they arrived at the ''Nemesis'', the Autobots found the crew paralyzed with Cheetor's instincts guiding him to the Allspark. When the [[Scraplet]]s attacked, Cheetor managed to avoid being bitten and ran to the bridge to aid Optimus and Windblade. Pouncing on Starscream's [[spark armor]], Cheetor tried to reclaim the Allspark, managing to make physical contact with it, only for this to unleash a healing wave of energy, the kinetic force of which sent Cheetor flying away from Starscream. {{storylink|Starscream's Children}}
[[File:Cyberverse Spotted Cheetor.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

As Cheetor attempted to find his place in the Autobot chain of command, Bumblebee decided to train him as a scout. The two were eventually captured by Starscream, who sought to assimilate Cheetor's Allspark powers into himself, only for Cheetor to use liquid [[energon]] to briefly turn the Scraplets' feral hunger against the Seekers. Having managed to capture one of the critters, the two scouts brought it to [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] for study. {{storylink|Spotted}}

After [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]] had arrived on Earth, he led the Autobots to the Allspark only for the group to be met by both the Decepticons and a now Allspark-empowered Starscream. Though Cheetor's powers allowed him a modicum of resistance to Starscream's new abilities, the day was saved only through the power of the [[Matrix of Leadership]], its energy blasting the Allspark out of Starscream. After the Allspark had reconstituted its physical form, Cheetor managed to grab hold of it, carrying it back through the GroundBridge to the ''Ark''. {{storylink|I Am The Allspark}}

After Optimus, in deep stasis after unleashing the Matrix, was secured in sickbay, the Autobots made ready to leave Earth. With Bumblebee, Cheetor remotely piloted an [[Autobot shuttle]], drawing the ''Nemesis'' away from Earth's [[space bridge]]. As the ''Ark'' made for the portal, [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]], having seen through the ruse, attacked the ship, delaying it long enough for the ''Nemesis'' to catch up and unleash the heavy artillery. At Starscream's suggestion, Cheetor used the Allspark to repair the ''Ark'', only for the Decepticons to blow up the space bridge, forcing the ''Ark'' to physically fly back to Cybertron. {{storylink|Escape From Earth}}

Finding the celebration party on the ''Ark'' too loud for his liking, Cheetor joined Optimus on the vessel's roof, only for [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]] to inform them that the others were going berserk. After finding that Starscream responsible, hacking into Wheeljack's badges and exposing the Autobots to the Allspark's raw energy, the trio fought off their raging comrades and shut down the delivery system, allowing sanity to be restored. {{storylink|Party Down}}

As the ''Ark'' sailed through an asteroid field, Cheetor joined Bumblebee and Hot Rod for some solar surfing, finding great success in his [[beast mode]]. As the three enjoyed themselves, they were separated by a massive solar flare. When Cheetor rebooted, he was found by [[the Fins]], one of the three factions that comprised what was left of the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]] race. After fighting off a few of them, Cheetor found himself drafted by the group to aid in securing [[The Park]]. Upon arrival, he reunited with Bumblebee and Hot Rod, having both been drafted into [[the Tails]] and [[the Snouts]] respectively where Cheetor encouraged the Sharkticons to celebrate their commonalities and work together. And they did just that by turning on the Autobots, sending the three running back to the ''Ark''. Acting on a brainwave, Cheetor retrieved the Allspark and used its power to, largely, reconstitute the [[Sharkticon homeworld]], restoring peace to the species. {{storylink|Wiped Out}}

As Cheetor reminisced about his old cavern on Earth, Windblade was possessed and took the Allspark down to a nearby red planet. Along with Optimus and Bumblebee, Cheetor followed the [[cityspeaker]] to the surface, finding a deserted city that Windblade sought to reach the centre of. Constantly delayed by the city's automatic defences, the trio could not stop Windblade from unleashing the Allspark at the city's heart only to find that the possessing entity was one of the legendary [[Titan (group)|Titans]]. Introducing himself as [[Croaton (Cyberverse)|Croaton]], the Titan told them his story, apologizing for any trouble he had caused before he set off to find the colonists that had been abducted from him. {{storylink|Ghost Town}}

After forty cycles in space, the Autobots soon became bored. An EMP storm soon struck the vessel, locking Cheetor, and everyone else, in position. Needing to repower the ship, Cheetor's prone form was banged against the Allspark a few times by [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] to try and rouse it to no avail. Once power was restored to the ''Ark'', Cheetor rebooted, none the wiser about what had happened. {{storylink|Perfect Storm}}

When a distress call from [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]] came in, the Autobots repaired an old [[space bridge]] to try and quickly return home. The repairs were only a partial success as the ''Ark'' soon wound up trapped in [[unspace]], the void between universes. Meeting up with other versions of themselves, the nine groups of Autobots used all their Allsparks to punch open a portal back to their universes. Arriving in orbit of Cybertron, the Autobots had a hearty cheer that their struggles were finally over. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

Failing to raise Chromia, Optimus suspected a trap, entrusting the Allspark to Cheetor as he ordered everyone to abandon ship, leaving the ''Ark'' to be blown up by a [[laser snare]]. Guarded by Hot Rod and Bumblebee, Cheetor remained on the outskirts of the battle under orders to not enter the [[Threshold of the Well]] until a direct path had been cleared. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}

After Chromia informed Windblade of a backdoor to the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of the Allspark]], "Team Hot Rod" began making their way underground. When the three stopped at a toxic energon swamp to regain their bearings, [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Drift]] caught up with them. Though Cheetor welcomed Drift's aid, the swordsmech lunged at the three, revealing himself to having been a deep-cover Decepticon agent. As Hot Rod delayed the traitor, Bumblebee and Cheetor pressed further underground, coming to rest in a jungle. Looking around, Cheetor theorized that the environment was a remnant of Cybertron's prehistory before he noticed that Bumblebee had vanished. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}
[[File:Cyberverse BFC IV CheetorSacrifice.jpg|230px|thumb|right]]

Trekking through the jungle, Cheetor found his friend had been taken captive by [[Repugnus (Cyberverse)|Repugnus]] and his tribe of [[Monsterbot (Cyberverse)|Monsterbots]], Cheetor using the Allspark to quell the diminutive Cybertronians' hunger and win their friendship. The Monsterbots guided the duo to the Well where they found Shockwave waiting for them. Though Cheetor was quick to follow his duty, Shockwave was equally quick in rendering him unconscious leaving Bumblebee to defeat the scientist. When Cheetor awoke, the two friends returned the Allspark to its resting point and brought their planet back to life only for Shockwave to extract his own spark and use it to try and corrupt the Allspark.

Realizing what he had to do, Cheetor bade a fond goodbye to Bumblebee and sacrificed his own spark to purify the Allspark and ensure the future of the Cybertronian race. As Cybertron began to heal itself, Cheetor's voice spoke out to Bumblebee one last time, assuring his friend that he would always be with him in spirit. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}}

====Alternate universe====
When a distress call from [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] came in, the Autobots repaired an old space bridge to try and quickly return home. The repairs were only a partial success as the ''Ark'' soon wound up trapped in [[unspace]], the void between universes. Though the Autobot teams worked together, along with a third Autobot group, to return home, time ran out for Cheetor's group and they were disintegrated by unspace's properties. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

*'''Cheetor''' (Elite Class, [[2019]])
**''Accessories'': "Sea Fury" battleship/armor

:''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' Elite Class Cheetor transforms from robot to cheetah. He comes with the "[[Sea Fury]]" battleship, a retool of [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)#Elite Class|Bumblebee]]'s Ocean Storm Spark Armor, which can form battle armor in robot mode. His hands have a slightly open claw grip that can hold 5mm post accessories. While his tail can be easily popped on and off, it can't really be held as a weapon and appears to be removable [[for safety reasons]]. He has very decent articulation compared to earlier Cyberverse toys but lacks a waist swivel due to the hinged panel on his back, and the slot on his waist used for locking the Sea Fury armor chestplate in place.

:Like all ''Cyberverse'' Elite-class armor, the Sea Fury features a unique built-in helmet. Its armor mode has limited articulation, with elbow and bicep swivel joints, but does not have any shoulder articulation to speak of due to the way it automatically transforms when attached. As a result, it cannot assume the slightly splayed stance that it is shown in on the back of the package. It also has a flip-out anchor weapon which snaps into place in ship mode and unlocks by changing to armor mode. In addition, the armor features multiple 5 mm post holes, including the hands, shoulders, elbows, and one on the left forearm. While Cheetor himself sports an Autobrand on his right shoulder, the Sea Fury has a [[Maximal]] sigil on its prow. The Sea Fury is almost identical to Bumblebee's Ocean Storm, differing only in the [[repaint|color of the paint]] and the new helmet. The bridge and conning tower are only held in by friction, and as such may pop out during play. The clip that locks into Cheetor's waist can be rather tight, but can be disconnected by lifting the plate up rather than trying to pull it forward.

:The figure's design matches promotional artwork from Hasbro, and as such heavily deviates from the Boulder animation model.

:Cheetor was exclusively available at [[Target]] stores in the US. He was also released at general retail in Malaysia and Europe.

'''''Transformers: Dinobot Adventures''''' is a [[2021]] toyline made entirely of redecoed dinosaur-themed toys from the original ''[[Transformers: Rescue Bots (toyline)|Rescue Bots]]'' toyline. It is also thematically similar to the concurrent ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse_(toyline)#2021 Dinobots Unite|Dinobots Unite]]'' portion of the ''Cyberverse'' toyline. Despite this, no connection has been officially made between ''Dinobot Adventures'' and either ''Rescue Bots'' or ''Cyberverse'', leaving it to be considered a completely independent toyline.

Hot Rod (Cyberverse)

{{disambig3|Hot Rod}}
:''Hot Rod is an [[Autobot]] from the [[Transformers: Cyberverse (franchise)|Cyberverse]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Hot Rod Cyberverse concept.jpg|thumb|250px|"You get a driver to a funeral before he's actually dead, you've made history, darlin'."]]
'''Hot Rod''' is a very brave [[Autobot]], to the point where his [[function]] within the Autobot ranks is "Daring Hero". According to [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]], older Autobots consider him a show-off, but he is Bumblebee's favorite person to pull off reckless stunts with, and is always "down for a friendly race to prove that he rules the roads"; however, he will demand infinite rematches until he wins. This immaturity is probably why it's sometimes hard to realise that beneath the bravado lies a natural leader, with the right mix of skill, confidence and charisma to draw even the most unlikely ally to his side. Hot Rod is willing to die for his friends without a moments hesitation. But by living, he's able to inspire them to fight for themselves when it's needed most.

In the days before the Autobot-Decepticon war, Hot Rod was a patron of [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam's]]. During one visit to the bar, he argued with [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]] over who should've won the latest [[Cube (sport)|cube]] match. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} He was present at Maccadam's when the [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]] cube team won. {{storylink|The Citizen}}

[[File:Hot Rod - Cyberverse - Terminal Velocity promo.jpg|thumb|right|"I want you to go back out on that track and hit the pace car."]]
Sometime after the war had started, Hot Rod visited [[Velocitron]] with [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] and was challenged to a race by [[Blurr (Cyberverse)|Blurr]]. He got into an argument with the speedster when the latter failed to mention that part of the track was being repaired. This altercation was cut short with a crashing repair drone infected by [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|a spreading epidemic]] and the Autobots were eventually forced to flee the planet in spite of Blurr's initial apprehension to leave his home. However, upon realizing that someone needed to stay behind to operate the [[Space bridge|space bridge]], Blurr volunteered, despite Hot Rod's protests, revealing he had unwittingly caught the plague himself and couldn't risk spreading it. After commending the speedster's bravery, Hot Rod went through the portal with Bumblebee. {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}}

[[File:Hot Rod's altmode (Cyberverse - Terminal Velocity).jpg|thumb|left|"Those tires are matched perfect and staggered special."]]
After arriving on [[Earth]], Hot Rod was videoed falling into a chasm, winning the dubious honor of #1 on [[TOP3WEEKLY]]'s "TOP ROBOT FAILS!!" video. Later he took part in a battle on Earth's [[Moon_(moon)|moon]] where he and [[Prowl (Cyberverse)|Prowl]] were ambushed by Shadow Striker while attempting to reach [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave's]] [[Planet Smasher]]. Later, after the device was destroyed, he was the first to spot the Decepticons retreating down a hidden elevator. He and Bumblebee attempted to stop them but the doors closed and the 'Cons descended into the moon. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}}

**''Action Attack'': "Fusion Flame"

:Released as part of the third wave of [[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|''Cyberverse'']] [[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)#1-Step Changers|1-Step Changers]], Hot Rod uses the same engineering as ''The Last Knight'' 1-Step [[Cogman#1Step|Cogman]] and transforms from supercar into a robot by twisting the back section of the vehicle. His left arm also features a "Fusion Flame" Action Attack, a spinning saw that homages his [[Hot Rod (G1)|''Generation 1'' counterpart's]] sawblade.

*'''Autobot Hot Rod''' (Warrior Class, 2019)
**''Action Attack'': "Fusion Flame"

:Part of the third wave of ''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class toys, Hot Rod is a deluxe-sized mold that transforms from a robot into a supercar and back. Like all Warrior Class toys, Hot Rod features an Action Attack gimmick; his "Fusion Flame" pops out transparent blue flame effects from little doors in his arms when they are spread outwards. This makes it look like the exhaust pipes on his forearms are jetting flame, just not really in the direction you'd expect for an attack...

:The cross-sell photo on Prowl and Soundwave's rear packaging erroneously depicts Hot Rod with a circular image of a Deception Logo on the side.

**''Action Attack'': "Fusion Flame"

:Like the 1-step figure above, Warrior Hot Rod also received a black redeco, swapping the red parts for a metallic black plastic. He retains the "Fusion Flame" gimmick which still casts the flames in blue.

:Product renders on the back of the packaging depict Hot Rod with bright blue wheels which are not present on the final toy.

: Part of the first Series of ''Cyberverse'' [[Tiny Turbo Changers]], Hot Rod is a soft-plastic robot who transforms into a tiny Cybertronian supercar. In robot mode, his shoulder-pipes have flames shooting upwards, which don't have enough clearance to not bump into his back-spoiler, limiting his "useful" arm articulation.

:Released as part of the reinvented Ultra Class lineup, ''Cyberverse'' Ultra Class Hot Rod is a voyager-sized mold that transforms from a robot into a Cybertronian supercar. Like the other Ultra Class toys, Hot Rod features a flip-out armor gimmick and he features a crossbow weapon.

:This item was revealed via a leak from a Japanese catalog page before Hasbro announced it. Speaking of leaks, this Hot Rod was meant to be released for the Japanese markets by [[TakaraTomy]], under the name "TCV-36 Weapon Trigger Hot Rod" with an April 2020 release date. Unfortunately, unlike the Deluxe Class figures, the toy's release is canceled due to either poor sales or the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, or both.

==Notes==
*As with several ''Cyberverse'' main characters, Hot Rod uses an [[evergreen]] design inspired by his [[Hot Rod (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]].
*Hot Rod's "Stealth Force" coloration taken on during the events of Season 3 features dark red surfaces which the corresponding toys omit entirely. This leaves them bearing a striking resemblance to [[Dark Hot Rod]], and this is indeed how the character is credited in "The Loop"! This paint-job also homages [[Hot Rod (DOTM)|his live-action counterpart]].
*Rodimus Prime was never considered for the show, but the crew was adamant about portraying Hot Rod as someone who wanted to be a leader and was learning to be one.<ref name="Q+A">"[https://shikai-the-storyteller.tumblr.com/post/613237429097365504/i-absolutely-didnt-go-back-through-and-edit-this Transformers: Cyberverse – Mae Catt Q&A Session (Unedited Edition)]"</ref>
*During the production of Chapter Two, the crew wanted Hot Rod to be super into Earth culture, such as winning races and driving off before humans could realize no one was in the car. However, they never had time to really get into that.<ref name="Q+A" />

'''Bumblebee''' is totally the bravest, coolest, most epic scout in the [[Autobot]] ranks... or, at least, he ''thinks'' he is. Problem is, his memory chip was damaged on [[Earth]], and now he can't remember his critical mission, or how he got to the planet in the first place. It's a good thing that he has the help of his best friend [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] and his leader [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] to rely on, because with [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] and the [[Decepticon]]s hot on his tail, getting his memories back isn't going to be easy.

With his memories intact, 'Bee is easygoing and friendly. Always up for some fun, he often finds himself playing off against his friends' temperaments. When spending time with the thrill-seeking [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], he is comparatively cautious, but also encourages more reserved bots like [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]] or Windblade to try new things and enjoy themselves. That said, he's a dedicated Autobot, and any Decepticon who underestimates him will find themselves on the business end of his high-voltage [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]].

In the era prior to the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]], Bumblebee was close friends with [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and [[Maccadam]] (though he heavily doubted the barkeep was one of the [[Thirteen]]). {{storylink|Maccadam's}} Like many bots of the time, Bumblebee was drawn to the rhetoric of the charismatic gladiator [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

A fan of [[Cube (sport)|Cube]], Bumblebee tried to sneak into the Cube World Championship, even briefly posing as [[Cube mascot|the mascot]], where he befriended the [[Caminus (planet)|Camien]] [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] before security tossed him out. When Windblade called him back in via [[Cityspeaker|cityspeaking]], the two found [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] trying to sabotage the match and tried to thwart him, an adventure that ended in Bumblebee himself being on the Cube court and becoming the star of the show. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} Bumblebee took his new friend to [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]] where he introduced her to his many friends and the barkeep himself who pegged that the duo were hiding in a [[Bumblebee Cave|cave]]. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} At one point afterwards, Bumblebee played a round of Cube with Windblade, but lost despite his best efforts. Jovially, the two friends then had a rematch. {{storylink|Siloed}}

Alongside his friend [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], Bumblebee took a vacation to [[Velocitron]] where he introduced his friend to [[Blurr (Cyberverse)|Blurr]]. As his friends clashed egos, Bumblebee tried to offer aid to [[Nervous bot|a stumbling fellow]] only to be rebuked. A three way between the trio ended in disaster when the [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Plague of Rust]] struck Velocitron destroying the cities and infrastructure in mere hours. With the planet utterly lost, the trio made a mad dash for the [[space bridge]] with Blurr, infected by the Plague, stayed behind to destroy the portal and prevent the spread of the disease to other Cybertronian worlds. {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}}

With Megatron's [[Decepticon]] movement gaining unprecedented popularity, the gladiator's personality took on darker shades with open war soon becoming a real possibility. Bumblebee accompanied [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus]] to a last peace talk where he bore witness to Megatron declaring the Great War. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} When Megatron had slew the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]], Bumblebee brought Optimus to speak with [[Alpha Trion (Cyberverse)|Alpha Trion]], the sole survivor of the attack. With the last vestiges of his power, Trion bestowed the [[Matrix of Leadership]] onto his protege turning him into Optimus Prime. In one battle of the war, Bumblebee and [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] were separated from [[Prowl (Cyberverse)|Prowl]]. Though Bumblebee wanted to go back for their friend, Optimus soon arrived, carrying the wounded tactician over his shoulders. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}

Bumblebee undertook a mission to rescue Optimus from the notorious assassin [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]]. Bumblebee managed to quickly dispatch the [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]] guards and free the Prime, blasting an energon crate to cover their escape, the explosion consuming Shadow Striker. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}} When the Decepticon [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Deadlock]] tried to defect, Bumblebee brought him to the safe refuge of Maccadam's before Megatron arrived and threatened to start a brawl. Maccadam then barged in and transformed into his monstrous [[alternate mode]], claiming that there would be no fighting in ''his'' bar and cowing Megatron enough for him to retreat. Bumblebee congrulated the accomplishment only for Maccadam to shrug it off considering Bumblebee had just driven off a shuttle and blasted a ship with a [[triple-barrel ion shoulder cannon]] in mid-air. Confused, Bumblebee advised that the barkeep not drink so much. {{storylink|Maccadam's}}

Bumblebee's past would soon return to haunt him as when he attempted to prevent an energon shipment from crashing into [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]]. As Bumblebee scrambled to steer the tanker away from a crash landing, Shadow Striker returned, knocking him out and sending the craft plunging into the ice of Cybertron's poles. As the two duked it out, they found themselves pinned under a beam where Shadow Striker recounted the tale behind her survival and reconstruction. When the shifting of the craft allowed Bumblebee to free himself, he showed Shadow Striker mercy only for her to make another attempt to kill him, his life being saved by the timely arrival of Grimlock. Though the Dinobot wanted to pursue the assassin, Bumblebee convinced his friend to let her go. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}}

As the war wound down, the Decepticons captured [[Vector Sigma]] with Bumblebee being sent to scout the area and determine the Decepticons' plans for the computer only for one of [[Shockwave's drones]] to sight him. Though managing to shake off Starscream and Shadow Striker, Bumblebee was defeated by [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] and brought to Megatron who revealed his master plan was to use Vector Sigma to reprogram the [[AllSpark]] and have it birth a generation of loyal Decepticons. Information he was only telling Bumblebee because he made sure that the scout would never tell Optimus, a statement he backed up by ripping up the scout's [[voice box]]. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e3-Allspark-Bumblebee-holds-the-AllSpark.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

Despite his disability, Bumblebee managed to inform Optimus of Megatron's plan prompting the Prime to launch the AllSpark off-world. Tasked with transporting the artifact, Bumblebee was caught off-guard by the AllSpark speaking to him before Starscream struck, destroying the depot Bumblebee was to hide it in. With no recourse, Bumblebee made his way to the [[space bridge]] in Iacon where, despite a heavy Decepticon presence, Optimus managed to launch the AllSpark off Cybertron. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|AllSpark}}

Without the AllSpark however, Cybertron's deterioration sped up. In a later mission, Bumblebee and Optimus fought off the Seekers in the ruins of the [[Grand Imperium]]. Once they'd been chased off, Optimus used the sorry state of the once magnificent structure to emphasize the great damage the war had done to Cybertron and the mistake he'd made in launching the AllSpark, declaring that they had to retrieve it and restore their world. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} The new [[Vanguard-class Deep Space Interceptor|''Vanguard''-class]] vessel, the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']], was soon completed and ready to launch, Bumblebee among its crew. Unable to convince Windblade to join him, the two took a last trip to Maccadam's, now totally ruined, where the old barkeep offered them some energon from his private supply. Maccadam informed the two he would be staying behind but reassured them that, though they would go their separate ways for a while, they'd see each other again and their friendship would endure. As the two shared a toast to their friendship, Maccadam told them to find "the king of the [[Dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaurs]]" before Grimlock called them to the launchpad. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} On the launchpad, Bumblebee said a heartfelt goodbye to Windblade before Optimus called him aboard. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

The ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s journey was not a glamorous one and soon its [[energon]] supply began to dwindle. Once a rich bounty of energon had been detected on a frozen moon, Bumblebee joined Optimus and Grimlock to find the source only for the trio to be attacked by [[Cave monster|native insects]]. Though the three Autobots fought valiantly, their weapons had no effect on the [[alien]]s with Optimus ordering a retreat. Back on the ''Ark'', Optimus had [[Teletraan-1 (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-1]] confirm his hypothesis that the aliens had evolved to feed off the energon. With Optimus deeming the aliens' extinction too high a moral price to pay, he ordered everyone into the [[stasis pod]]s and the ship to be placed under Teletraan's control. Seconds before the cryo-gas overtook Bumblebee, Teletraan detected the AllSpark only for the scout to fall into stasis before he could abort the hibernation sequence. {{storylink|The Journey}}

As the ''Ark'' arrived over [[Earth]], it suffered an engine malfunction prompting Teletraan-1 to reactivate Grimlock so he could deal with the problem only for a hull breach to open in the hibernation bay. Thrown around by the change in pressure, Grimlock shook loose the restraints on several stasis pods, causing them to fly out of the ship. Grimlock desperately clung onto the last of the pods, Bumblebee's, only to loose his grip and send his friend hurtling down to the primitive planet. {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}}

Bumblebee crashed in the [[Himalayas]] and eventually reawoke, though suffering from heavy amnesia. Confused, he befriended a tribe of local goats and lived amongst them for a while before he went off exploring, leaving behind his stasis pod and blaster. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e1-Fractured-Windblade-hugs-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Wait hold on, where did you [[Windblade (G1)#Notes|come from]]?]]
While joyriding through a desert, Bumblebee was found by Windblade only for amnesia to prevent him from recognizing her and mistaking [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]] for a friend Windblade had brought. Enough of Bumblebee's memories remained for him to access his [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] and momentarily paralyzed the Seeker after he'd shown his hostile intentions. After Thundercracker was taken care of, Windblade attempted to use a [[cortical psychic patch]] to connect with Bumblebee's mind and jog his memories only for the device to cause both Autobots to fall into [[stasis lock]]. {{storylink|Fractured}}
[[File:Cyberverse-s1e2-Memory-Windblade-in-Bumblebee's-mind.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Boo!!]]
When the two rebooted, they soon came under attack from Thundercracker and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]]. While Bumblebee tried his best to hold Thundercracker off, his stinger malfunctioned and Windblade ordered him to retreat to a nearby mineshaft instead. He did as instructed, allowing Windblade to bury both Decepticons under a pile of rubble. The two then found the [[Decepticon scout ship]] with Windblade using its additional computing power to successfully use the cortical psychic patch and access Bumblebee's mind only to find he could not recall the location of the AllSpark but Bumblebee did find a memory of the ''Ark'' which convinced him of his and Windblade's friendship. The happy moment was cut short when [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] contacted the ship to know how his scouts were doing. Bumblebee, not remembering that Starscream was an enemy, cheerily answered the call and promptly blew their cover. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

After an erratic chase, Bumblebee set the ship down at a radio tower, exploiting the radio transmissions as cover, Windblade helped Bumblebee remember the AllSpark which roused the scout's memories of the ''Ark'' and Optimus Prime which served as a catalyst for Bumblebee's memories to begin self-repairing. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark}} Further use of the patch helped Bumblebee remember going into stasis and the AllSpark being detected but he could not say where the ''Ark'' had wound up. {{storylink|The Journey}} When Windblade extracted the location of Bumblebee's stasis pod, she went off to investigate leaving her friend to watch [[human]] television, presenting him with his old blaster when she returned. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

As Bumblebee started to remember his early encounters with Megatron, he began to idolize the gladiator once again much to Windblade's alarm. With the cityspeaker's prodding, Bumblebee remember more of the atrocities the warlord had committed, culminating in reliving his voice box being torn out by the tyrant. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Poking around the shuttle some more, Bumblebee found a Cube, reawakening his memories of his and Windblade's first meeting. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} An attempt to use the patch without Windblade brought back Bumblebee's memories of Velocitron's demise, {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}} and a sparring match brought back his memories of Shadow Striker and a hard lesson in picking battles. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}}

While evading a second Decepticon shuttle near Earth's space bridge, Bumblebee remembered Maccadam's on his own. Once he'd used a triple-barrel ion shoulder cannon to deter the Decepticons, the two set down in cave that looked like Bumblebee's head where they used the patch to remember more about Maccadam. In the session the two realized Maccadam's habit of rambling had in fact been prophecies relating to their current adventure and the barkeep's way of helping them, setting them on the search for "the king of the dinosaurs", {{storylink|Maccadam's}} a task made harder by the duo's ignorance on what dinosaurs were. Instead, Windblade directed Bumblebee to a new memory regarding the ''Ark'', hoping to find the ship's location. Within the memory Bumblebee found he was a deep cover Decepticon who'd sabotaged the ''Ark'' and led Megatron right to it. After being tried, Bumblebee broke free and was found by Optimus, a fellow deep cover agent. Realizing such events would never occur, Bumblebee shattered the memory revealing Windblade had been replaced by [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] who demanded to know where the ''Ark'' was in exchange for Windblade's safety. Disconnecting himself, Bumblebee set the shuttle on a collision course with the hangar the Seekers were using as a base once he'd primed the ship's self-destruct. When the two Autobots fled, Bumblebee assured his friend that their being alive was victory enough. {{storylink|Sabotage}}

As the two sought shelter at an airfield, Bumblebee picked up an Autobot distress signal. The beacon led them to a missile silo where they found [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]], an auxiliary data drone from the ''Ark''. Unfortunately, the drone was the bait in a trap laid by the Seekers. As Bumblebee was the only one Teletraan would answer to, [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]] took Windblade hostage to force the scout's compliance only for Bumblebee to soon be on the receiving end of the torture, rousing the drone's security protocols into action. Using Teletraan's map of the complex, the trio made their escape only to be cornered at the exit. With great regret, Bumblebee was forced to leave Windblade behind as he got Teletraan to safety. {{storylink|Teletraan-X (episode)|Teletraan-X}} After listening to Teletraan recount the entirety of human history (which took 4.5 hours), Bumblebee outright asked where the ''Ark'' was... something Teletraan didn't know. Noticing that Bumblebee had retained the cortical psychic patch, Teletraan helped the scout remember more about Optimus Prime and to understand that everyone, even the greatest of heroes, was fallible. Inspired, Bumblebee raced back to the missile silo to free his friend, {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} only to find she'd freed herself and found the location of a new Autobot. {{storylink|Siloed}}

Windblade led the group to a human construction site where Teletraan-X excavated the Autobot whom he then identified as Grimlock, along with a video clip of how Bumblebee and he had been separated. Using the human power grid, the Autobots reactivated Grimlock only to find his [[beast mode]] instincts were dominating his mind. Having found Grimlock's crown, an elaborate homing beacon, Bumblebee had Teletraan crown Grimlock which sent the Dinobot running away. Following the three found Grimlock's base where his video logs managed to trigger his transformation back to robot mode. {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}}

As Grimlock recounted his adventures, his systems picked up Shockwave arriving with two [[magnetic disruptor]]s which the scientist intended to use to shut down Earth's magnetic field. The Autobots made their way to the [[Arctic|North Pole]], on a commandeered cargo plane, where Bumblebee acted as the distraction by doing a jaunty dance. His boogying brought out a vengeful Shadow Striker. When the disruptor was destroyed, Bumblebee raced back aboard the cargo plane, escaping only thanks to Shadow Striker's glitchy limbs. {{storylink|The Extinction Event}}

Back at Grimlock's base, the Dinobot revealed a map of [[Pangaea]] which Teletraan used to place the ''Ark'' at [[Mount St. Hilary]]. When the quartet arrived, they were instantly shot down by the Seekers and Bumblebee found himself used as ammunition in a [[Fastball Special]] against Nova Storm. When the group recovered, Teletraan-X revealed that the [[Decepticon fleet]] was approaching Earth. Their resolve strengthened, the Autobots breached the volcano where they found the ''Ark''. {{storylink|Awaken Sleeping Giants}}

Their joy was short-lived as the Decepticons returned, now revealed to have been tracking them via Shockwave's drones. After initially clashing with Shadow Striker, Bumblebee entered the ''Ark'' with Teletraan and made his way to the hibernation bay. There they found that Teletraan-1 was dead and Teletraan-X quickly began to upload himself into the ship's mainframe only for Shadow Striker to arrive and destroy the drone. Bumblebee attacked his arch foe only to be defeated and once again being saved by Grimlock. As Bumblebee mourned over Teletraan-X, the second magnetic disruptor struck the volcano... only for Teletraan-X to reveal he'd downloaded himself into the ship's mainframe. After Teletraan had used the ship's guns to take care of the Decepticons, he raised the shields in time to protect them all from the eruption. With everyone safe, Teletraan awoke the rest of the crew, Bumblebee hugging Optimus, before the Decepticon fleet arrived, right above the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s resting place. {{storylink|Eruption}}

The Cybertronians eventually became known to humankind. While outside the ''Ark'', Bumblebee was caught on camera doing a dance, eventually ending in a fall and winning the dubious honor of #2 on [[TOP3WEEKLY]]'s "TOP ROBOT FAILS!!" video. At some point, Bumblebee's voice box was repaired.
[[File:Cyberverse Bad Moon Rising Bumblebee.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

When the Decepticons constructed a [[Planet Smasher]] on Earth's moon, the Autobots travelled to the satellite, Bumblebee using the low gravity to dance around the aerial Decepticons before their enemies retreated behind a [[force field]]. After breaching the field and shutting down the Planet Smasher, the Autobots followed into an underground bunker. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}} While unable to catch up with the Decepticons, the Autobots were able to disable the [[planetary engine]]s with which the Decepticons intended to destroy Earth. As Optimus made a statement to the human race, Bumblebee noticed [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|an animal]] watching them only for it to disappear when he tried to show it to Hot Rod. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}}

Asking around the ''Ark'', Bumblebee learnt from [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] that the creature he'd seen was a cheetah. Heading to Wheeljack's lab to see if the inventor had any useful inventions, Bumblebee bore witness to Grimlock gorging himself on [[Hyper-Fuel]], Bumblebee racing after his overcharged friend only to constantly bested by his kinetic energy. Cornering the primary airlock with Wheeljack, Bumblebee accidentally created a [[black hole]] that threatened to devour Hot Rod before Optimus casually saved the day with Wheeljack's [[force shield blaster]]. Hot Rod then sighted the moon cheetah outside the ''Ark'', the two scouts racing after it. Left in the dust by Hot Rod and the cheetah's speed, Bumblebee failed to make it to the [[GroundBridge]] before it closed. Sulking off, Bumblebee griped that no one would believe him. {{storylink|The Visitor}}

After the GroundBridge network was discovered, the Autobots used it to triangulate the AllSpark's location. While the Autobots managed to force open a portal to the artefact's location, it was found that only Optimus could pass through. Optimus eventually returned, explaining that Starscream had seized the AllSpark but introduced the cheetah as "Cheetor", newest member of the Autobots. {{storylink|Trials}}

Once Cheetor had explained his backstory, the Autobots invaded the ''Nemesis'' for the AllSpark and Vector Sigma. While Optimus led the main attack force, Bumblebee and Hot Rod backed up Cheetor as he searched the ship for the AllSpark. When Cheetor tried to sense the artefact however, he discovered that it was not aboard the ''Nemesis'', revealing this to everyone and ending the battle. When Megatron revealed that Starscream had gone rogue, it set the stage for the next round of Autobot/Decepticon peace talks. {{storylink|Dark Birth}} Confident that these peace talks would fail, Bumblebee lounged around with Hot Rod and Cheetor before Slipstream was killed by [[Bludgeon (Cyberverse)|Bludgeon]], sparking a free for all. With no alliance to be had, Optimus declared that the Autobots would have to stop Starscream on their own. {{storylink|Parley}}

Acting on Slipstream's intelligence, Bumblebee returned to the missile silo only for Cheetor to discover that the AllSpark was no longer present. Upon returning to the ''Ark'', a distress came in from the ''Nemesis'', under siege from Starscream. Arriving, the strike team found the Decepticons to have been paralyzed by a [[scraplet]] swarm. After being separated from Optimus and Windblade, Bumblebee told Cheetor to press on and find the AllSpark even as the scraplets swarmed him. While Cheetor failed to retrieve the AllSpark, he did manage to have it send out a wave of energy that healed the ''Nemesis'' and everyone aboard. {{storylink|Starscream's Children}}

As Cheetor attempted to find his place in the Autobot chain of command, Bumblebee decided to train him as a scout. The two were eventually captured by Starscream, who sought to assimilate Cheetor's AllSpark powers into himself, only for Cheetor to use liquid energon to briefly turn the scraplets' feral hunger against the Seekers. Having managed to capture one of the critters, the two scouts brought it to Wheeljack for study. {{storylink|Spotted}} When Wheeljack tried to use the creature to locate Starscream, he ran across Shockwave, having had the same idea, who used a hologram of a captured Bumblebee to ensure the Autobot's cooperation. {{storylink|Secret Science}}

When the ''Ark'' came under attack, the Autobots thought it Starscream only to discover, to their dismay, that it was [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]]. After they told the shark that [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]] was dead, he flew off in a huff, leaving the Autobots to reminisce about how much they hated him. It was then that the still alive Jetfire turned up, requesting aid in his vendetta, only for Optimus to turn him down, prioritizing the search for the AllSpark. {{storylink|Infinite Vendetta}}

Jetfire eventually led the Autobots to the AllSpark's hiding place only for the Decepticons to arrive followed by an AllSpark empowered Starscream. Through his new powers, Starscream nearly extracted the [[spark]]s of all those present only for Optimus to channel the power of the Matrix to blast the AllSpark out the Seeker. As Bumblebee tended to his leader, the Decepticons seized the AllSpark before the now feral scraplets turned on everyone. Protecting Optimus, Bumblebee remained on the sidelines throughout the battle before the cavern began collapsing. After both Optimus and the AllSpark had been taken through a GroundBridge to the ''Ark'', Bumblebee made a point to retrieve Starscream's body, reasoning that Optimus would want the Seeker to face justice. {{storylink|I Am The Allspark}}

As part of a scheme to get the AllSpark off of Earth, Bumblebee and Cheetor remotely piloted one of a quintet of shuttles the Autobots intended to use as decoys. The ''Nemesis'' pursued and destroyed the shuttles, and while the Decepticons were distracted, the ''Ark'' lifted off and made a beeline for the space bridge in Earth's orbit. However, Sky-Byte, not fooled by the Autobot ploy, attacked the ''Ark'' and broke onto the bridge, Grimlock knocking the attacker back out into space. However, Sky-Byte's gambit had bought the ''Nemesis'' the time it needed to intercept the ''Ark'', nearly destroying it with a turbolaser barrage, before Cheetor used the AllSpark to repair the Autobot ship, allowing it to slip past the ''Nemesis''. As the ''Ark'' reached the space bridge however, the portal violently exploded. Though, like the others, Bumblebee was initially disheartened, his fighting spirit was restored when Optimus returned to the bridge and ordered a course set for home. {{storylink|Escape From Earth}}

As the ''Ark'' sailed through space, Grimlock set up a celebratory party, Bumblebee faking a "C-class emergency" to bring Optimus to the hangar bay. After the Prime made an incredibly awkward speech, celebrations began in full swing, He was later a victim of Wheeljack's malfunctioning AllSpark Energy Emitter Badges, driving him to attack everything in a maddened rage. Optimus eventually managed to shut down the chips, and later made the ultimate sacrifice, dancing, to get the victory celebration back on track. {{storylink|Party Down}}

When passing through a dense asteroid field, Bumblebee, Cheetor and Hot Rod broke out the [[solar-wave boards]] and went surfing solar flares before they discovered unusual formations in the rocks. When another solar flare struck, the three were separated with Bumblebee being found by [[the Tails]], a faction of the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]] race. Brought with them to [[the Park]], Bumblebee reunited with his friends, both of whom had fallen in with the other two Sharkticon factions, with the Autobots convincing the species to reunify, albeit against the Autobots. Retreating back to the ''Ark'', Cheetor used the AllSpark to reconstitute the [[Sharkticon homeworld]], securing peace for the aliens. {{storylink|Wiped Out}}

While discussing Cheetor's longing for Earth, Bumblebee and Cheetor found that Windblade had stolen the AllSpark, her will overridden by an entity from [[Croaton's planet|a red planet]]. Joined by Optimus and Hot Rod, the two scouts followed the cityspeaker to the planet's surface and found an abandoned city which Windblade tried to reach the centre of. Constantly delayed by the city's automatic defences, the group could not stop Windblade from unleashing the AllSpark at the city's heart only to find that the possessing entity was one of the legendary [[Titan (group)|Titans]]. Introducing himself as [[Croaton (Cyberverse)|Croaton]], the Titan told them his story, apologizing for any trouble he'd caused before he set off to find the colonists that had been abducted from him. {{storylink|Ghost Town}}

After forty cycles in space, the Autobots soon became bored. An EMP storm soon struck the vessel, locking Bumblebee, and everyone else, in position before Grimlock and Arcee managed to restore power to the ship and their crewmates. Unaware of what had just transpired, Bumblebee and Hot Rod stole a shuttle, eager for an adventure. {{storylink|Perfect Storm}}

When a distress call from [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]] came in, the Autobots repaired an old space bridge to try and quickly return home. The repairs were only a partial success as the Ark soon wound up trapped in unspace, the void between universes. Meeting up with other versions of themselves, the nine groups of Autobots used all their AllSparks to punch open a portal back to their universes. Arriving in orbit of Cybertron, the Autobots had a hearty cheer that their struggles were finally over. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}
[[File:Cyberverse EOTU II Bumblebee OtherDimension.jpg|300px|thumb|right]]

Failing to raise Chromia, Optimus suspected a trap, entrusting the AllSpark to Cheetor as he ordered everyone to abandon ship, leaving the ''Ark'' to be blown up by a [[laser snare]]. Along with Hot Rod, Bumblebee was assigned to guard Cheetor, the three remaining on the outskirts of the battle under orders to not enter the [[Threshold of the Well]] until a direct path had been cleared. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}

After Chromia informed Windblade of a backdoor to the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of the AllSpark]], "Team Hot Rod" began making their way underground. When the three stopped at a toxic energon swamp to regain their bearings, [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Drift]] caught up with them. Though the three welcomed Drift's aid, the swordsmech lunged at the three, revealing himself to having been a deep-cover Decepticon agent. As Hot Rod delayed the traitor, Bumblebee and Cheetor pressed further underground, coming to rest in a jungle. As Cheetor theorized about the environment, Bumblebee was captured by [[Repugnus (Cyberverse)|Repugnus]] and his tribe of [[Monsterbot (Cyberverse)|Monsterbots]]. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}

Strung up, Bumblebee was nearly devoured by the Monsterbots before Cheetor found him, using the AllSpark to quell the diminutive Cybertronians' hunger and win their friendship. The Monsterbots guided the duo to the Well where they found Shockwave waiting for them. After the scientist knocked Cheetor out, Bumblebee used his fallen friend's spear to disable Shockwave, allowing the two to return the AllSpark to its resting point and return life to Cybertron. As they basked in their victory, Shockwave awoke and extracted his spark, using its malignant energies to try and corrupt the AllSpark.

Realizing what he had to do, Cheetor bid a fond goodbye to Bumblebee and sacrificed his own spark to purify the AllSpark and ensure the future of the Cybertronian race. As Cybertron began to heal itself, Cheetor's voice spoke out to Bumblebee one last time, assuring his friend that he would always be with him in spirit. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}}

The peace would not last long however. The [[Quintesson]]s soon invaded Cybertron, locking the populace in a virtual reality that celebrated the [[Parade of Metals]]. Within the Loop, Bumblebee chatted up with several of his friends only to be barred from reaching Windblade by the parade floats. During his early attempts to free the Cybertronians from the Loop, Hot Rod tried to free Bumblebee to no avail. {{storylink|The Loop}} {{storylink|The Sleeper}} Along with the others, Bumblebee was freed when [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] hacked into the Loop and introduced a flock of [[Air Hammer (Cyberverse)|Air Hammers]] into the simulation, the beasts shocking everyone into transforming whereupon they awoke and retreated to [[Iaconus]]. {{storylink|The Scientist}}

As part of a team-building exercise, Bumblebee was placed in a team with [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]], Shadow Striker, and [[Lockdown (Cyberverse)|Lockdown]], taking on swarms of drones. {{storylink|The Alliance}} When it was determined that the only way to destroy the Quintesson flagship was to draw out the [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]] and its army, Bumblebee was part of Optimus and Megatron's strike team that infiltrated the ship. When the group reached the [[multiverse drive]], they were confronted by the [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]]. While Megatron promptly shot the Quintesson dead, he deployed an army of backup bodies, Bumblebee and Optimus holding them off as Wheeljack, backed up by Megatron and Dead End, disabled the drive only for the Decepticons to betray Wheeljack as they fled to another universe. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}}

Soon afterwards, the Judge, damaged beyond repair by Hot Rod's group, crashed into the ship, its out of control weapons collapsing it. With no recourse, the three Autobots used the drive and jumped into another universe only to be confounded by its shifting architecture. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}} The shifts eventually put Bumblebee next to the portal home. Optimus ordered Bumblebee to hold his position, {{storylink|The End Of The Universe II}} before Wheeljack simply used his grappling gun to reunite the trio. Passing back through the portal, the Autobots found themselves in the Scientist's laboratory, facing off against his endless supply of bodies before Wheeljack tracked the Scientist's command signal to his true body, a diminutive organic creature, and squashed him. With the alien dead, the three moved outside to deal with the brainwashed Croaton. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe III}} Arriving outside, the Autobots joined the fight against the [[Prosecutor (Cyberverse)|Prosecutors]] before they were confronted by the new Judge, Starscream, and Megatron arrived aboard [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]]. With both leaders in one place, Starscream began using unspace to destroy the universe before both used their Matrices of Leadership to defeat the Judge, saving the universe. In the aftermath, the Transformers formed a truce. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

During the course of the invasion, Windblade had overexerted herself freeing the brainwashed Croaton. With the Titan's city mode now serving as the Decepticon capital, Hot Rod sent Bumblebee was to scout their territory. Making his way to the cityspeaker chamber, Bumblebee was found by Shadow Striker who took him to Windblade's braindead body in the infirmary. Though Shadow Striker allowed Bumblebee to leave in peace, he was soon discovered, forcing him to call for reinforcements, [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]] carrying Windblade away. Though the two nearly made it back to Autobot territory, they were intercepted by Megatron, who was ready to execute them, before Optimus arrived, citing that Megatron holding an Autobot was a treaty violation. Though Megatron let the Autobots go, he warned them to never return. In Iaconus' medbay, Ratchet explained Windblade's state before Chromia entered with a potential solution. {{storylink|Enemy Line}}

Using a psychic tracker from Caminus, Chromia led Bumblebee across Cybertron to Windblade's various psychic shards. The first of these led the two friends to [[Crystal City]] where they befriended [[Thunderhowl (Cyberverse)|Thunderhowl]] and aided him in defeating the [[Crystalline King]]. {{storylink|Thunderhowl (episode)|Thunderhowl}} When another shard was detected on [[Moonbase Three|Luna 3]], Chromia directed Bumblebee to [[Meteorfire (Cyberverse)|Meteorfire]] for aid in breaching the moon's [[force field]]. Though the former star brought Bumblebee to the moon, his obsession with the macabre led to the two exploring the abandoned communications hub where Bumblebee was haunted by ghosts of fallen warriors. The two eventually discovered that the cause of the ghosts was an [[obicular-class parasitic entity]]. Channeling his multiverse energy, Bumblebee shattered the entity, not only retrieving Windblade's shard but freeing [[Cosmos (Cyberverse)|Cosmos]], who'd been held captive by the alien. {{storylink|Alien Hunt! With Meteorfire And Cosmos}}

Along with Grimlock, Bumblebee ventured deep underground to the valley of the Monsterbots for the next shard before an energon river separated them. Awakening to the sight of a massive city, Bumblebee discovered that the Monsterbot society had been taken over by the decadent [[Energon Master]]s, run by [[Affluous]]. After earning the ire of Affluous, Bumblebee attempted to roll out only to be affected by "the shocks" and imprisoned him. While in jail, Bumblebee met [[Teknicus]] who explained that he'd built a tower for Affluous that cause the shocks. After channeling his multiverse energy for a jailbreak, Bumblebee destroyed the tower, just as Grimlock led Repugnus' group into the city, collecting the shard of Windblade. {{storylink|Journey To The Valley Of Repugnus}}

When Ratchet prepared to upload what they had of Windblade's mind, [[Hammerbyte|a shark]] broke in and stole her body. Along with Chromia, Bumblebee followed in a shuttle to the [[Argon Sea]], diving in after it. After the two had dealt with some energy sucking fauna, the shark returned, Bumblebee subduing it with his stinger. In the process however, he was knocked loose and plunged into the depths of the sea. On the sea floor, Bumblebee found a service hatch just as Chromia caught up with him. Waving her after him, Bumblebee entered only to fall under the thrall of the [[Dweller (Cyberverse)|Dweller]] being forced to attack Chromia before she used his own stinger to free him. Once they'd all escaped the rogue Titan, Bumblebee and Chromia took Windblade back to Iaconus, bidding farewell to Hammerbyte. {{storylink|Dweller In The Depths (Cyberverse)|Dweller In The Depths}}
[[File:Cyberverse TheOtherOne Bumblebee.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

After Optimus Prime had received instructions from the [[Thirteen]] to destroy the alternate version of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] that Megatron had brought into their reality, Bumblebee joined the infiltration team into Croaton, during which Chromia saved him from an attack by Shadow Striker. After the Autobots had made it to the control room, they and the Decepticons were suddenly surrounded by towering hostiles. {{storylink|Silent Strike}}

The hostiles were quickly identified as [[Perfect Decepticon]]s created by [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|an alternate version of Megatron]] who had won the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]] and the owner of the alternate Matrix. Along with the other Autobots, Bumblebee battled several Perfect Decepticons and received a power boost of multiverse energy from Optimus Prime. When the alternate Megatron arrived, he disabled his counterpart before reclaiming his Matrix. Before he could merge it with once again, Bumblebee stole it and flew off.

Dodging several Perfect Decepticons, Bumblebee made for the border only to be knocked down by Megatron X before he could find a way through the shield. Before the invader could slay Bumblebee, Optimus engaged him in a duel of Matrices long enough for Windblade, the last of her shards within the alternate Matrix, to disable the talisman, allowing Optimus to triumph, Bumblebee collecting the last piece of his friend from the tyrant's broken body. After Astrotrain had taken Megatron X away, Ratchet presented the recovered Windblade to the Autobots, Bumblebee hugging his friend. {{storylink|The Other One}}

====Alternate universes====
A series of multiversal Bumblebees were among those who found themselves trapped in unspace after attempting to use the improperly repaired space bridge. Though a few lost their lives to the matter between universes, most were able to escape using the combined power of their AllSparks. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

In a different universe, when Optimus confronted [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] following his attack on the High Council, Megatron realized that he and Optimus would oppose each other forevermore and slew his once friend with a point blank [[fusion cannon]] blast before he seized the Matrix from him. Though Bumblebee tried to aid his leader, he was restrained by Starscream and Shadow Striker, eventually being slain. When Megatron X crossed over into the primary timeline, he referenced Bumblebee to his counterpart, noting that he had died as a simple scout. {{storylink|The Other One}}

*'''Bumblebee''' (Tiny Turbo Changers, [[2019]])
**''Series'' '''1, 2'''
**''Bag Code'': '''A'''
:Released in the first Series of ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' [[Tiny Turbo Changers]], Bumblebee changes from sports car to robot and back in a few simple steps. Like many toys in the line, Bumblebee has a molded "attack" weapon; in his case he has a blue "stinger" molded in place of his left hand. Many copies of this figure come with the waist assembled backwards, but this is easily remedied by popping his legs off and flipping his waist part around.

:Bumblebee was also released without changes in Series 2.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Scout Class, 2019)
**''Action Attack'': "Hive Swarm"
:This new Bumblebee is an all new sculpt despite superficial similarities to the first scout toy. His attack gimmick causes rocket packs to flip from under his arms. Unlike the first toy, both of his arms have 5mm compatible fists.

:This Bumblebee figure was originally slated to be released as the sole new figure in the second wave of Scout Class figures branded under the ''Power of the Spark'' [[subline imprint]]. However, that wave was ultimately never released anywhere in the world, and instead, the figure was eventually released as part of the second wave of Scout Class figures branded under the ''Bumblebee: Cyberverse Adventures'' subline imprint.

:''Cyberverse'' 1-Step Changer Bumblebee is a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' "Patrol Mode" [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#PatrolMode|Bumblebee]], painted to disguise the fact that he's a completely different design, and transforms from robot to vehicle in a single step. He lacks the scannable roof insignia from the ''Robots in Disguise'' toy.

**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-01'''
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:This Bumblebee is an all-new mold, sharing the same transformation scheme with [[Drift (AOE)#Turbo Changers|Turbo Changers Drift]] from [[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|the ''Last Knight'' toyline]]. His left arm also features a spinning Stinger gimmick.

====Warrior Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Warrior-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Warrior Class, 2018)
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class Bumblebee transforms from robot to car. His "Sting Shot" Action Attack gimmick is activated when his left arm is clicked in place, pushing the chest up. Pushing his chest down causes his arm to spring up and the stinger on his hand to [[Cyber-slash tail weapon|spin and spin]]. Due to this, he lacks articulation in his left arm entirely, save for this gimmick. The right arm contains a forward swivel in the shoulder and a hinge at the elbow, and the hips are ball jointed.

:The knees are seemingly meant to have joints, but due to their design have a tendency to just pop off - the lower leg is a single piece that simply snaps over the end of the thigh and the small rounded pegs that are meant to hold it together are very small. Additionally, a thick ridge on the rounded bottom end of the thigh forces the two sections apart when the knee is rotated; removing this ridge or swapping the thighs seems to restore this functionality.

:The stock photography (to the right) shows the figure with yellow joints sticking out of the hood, which is grey and black and the final version. The same stock photo also strangely has the right arm lower down the body than the actual figure, despite the toy ''not being able to do that.'' Meanwhile: the switch that activates his spinning stinger is yellow in the stock photo instead of the final product's unpaintable black plastic.

:This Bumblebee is a retool of the Warrior Class figure above, featuring a new head and forearms with missile-based weaponry.

:Yet another retool of the Warrior Class toy, this Bumblebee features Cybertronian parts and a newly-molded head. He retains the Sting Shot gimmick from the first figure and fixes the knee issue that the original Earth-mode version had.

:As with current Transformers toys, this item is first released at Hong Kong Toys"R"Us shops before Hasbro would announce them.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Ultra Class, 2020)
:This Ultra Class Bumblebee is a brand new mold with an armor gimmick instead of an Action Attack. He also comes with 2 swords.

:Along with a few ''Cyberverse'' figures, this Bumblebee was meant to be released for the Japanese markets by [[TakaraTomy]], under the name "TCV-35 Weapon Trigger Bumblebee" with an April 2020 release date. Unfortunately, unlike the Deluxe Class figures, the toy's release is canceled due to either poor sales or the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, or both.

**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:Released as part of the second wave of Ultimate Class, this Leader-sized Bumblebee transforms into a very show-accurate robot unlike most of his previous toys, but his left arm possesses 2/3 of the vehicle hood chunk (with a sculpted fist), which features a spring-loaded flip-out stinger as his Action Attack gimmick. This gimmick can be activated in both robot and vehicle mode.

:Exercise caution while rolling his vehicle mode as Bumblebee's painted knees are very close to the ground.

====Elite Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Elite-Class-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=2|thumb|"Bang Bang Simulations!"]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Elite Class, 2019)
**''Japanese Name'': '''Battleship Power Bumblebee'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[Calendar|September]] [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-15'''
**''Spark Armor'': Ocean Storm

:''Cyberverse'' Elite Class Bumblebee is a Warrior Class-sized mold that transforms from robot to car. He features better articulation and a more screen-accurate design due to a different conversion scheme and lack of built-in gimmick. He also comes with the "[[Ocean Storm]]" Spark Armor accessory that is evocative of the Yamato cruiser from ''Space Battleship Yamato'', which can form his battle armor in robot mode. The armor automatically transforms in place if folded down when combined with Bumblebee.

:Like all ''Cyberverse'' Elite-class armor, The Ocean Storm features a unique built-in helmet. Its armor mode has limited articulation, with elbow and bicep swivel joints, but does not have any shoulder articulation to speak of due to the way it automatically transforms when attached. As a result, it cannot assume the slightly splayed stance that it is shown in on the back of the package. It also has a flip-out anchor weapon which snaps into place in ship mode and unlocks by changing to armor mode. In addition, the armor features multiple 5 mm post holes, including the hands, shoulders, elbows, and one on the left forearm. The bridge and conning tower are only held in by friction, and as such may pop out during play. The clip that locks into Bumblebee's waist can be rather tight, but can be disconnected by lifting the plate up rather than trying to pull it forward.

:The CG stock renders also depict his unpaintable joints as black before it was replaced into light gray.

:The Ocean Storm was redecoed with a new helmet into [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)#Cyberverse|Cheetor]]'s Sea Fury armor.

**''Japanese Name'': '''Action Master Bumblebee'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[October]] [[2020]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''Action Master 04'''
**''Accessories'': Blaster, Stinger, Stinger effect part
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"

:Released as part of the ''Cyberverse'' [[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)#Deluxe Class|Deluxe Class]] lineup, this Bumblebee is a show-accurate mold that is more poseable than most of his previous releases. He comes with a handheld blaster and a removable Stinger that can be wielded by his 5mm hands, and an effect part for the Stinger. Bumblebee features 5mm posts on his chest and right leg, compatible with the Fire Blasts included in the [[Battle Master]] toys.

:In Japan, Bumblebee is released as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive. The catalog reveals that he is originally intended to be sold for the regular markets (hence the "TCV-32" ID Number) with a March 2020 release date. Like the rest of the figures, he is released in a windowless, monochrome packaging.

==Merchandise==
===Burger King===
*'''Bumblebee''' (Burger King Toy, 2019)
:Burger King's take on Bumblebee is a non-transforming figure that also looks rather reminiscent to his Elite Class toy with the inclusion of grey battleship parts sculpted on his body as armor. His right arm and hips are articulated, whereas his left arm has a spring-loaded projective launcher molded into it.
{{-}}

===McDonald's===
*'''Bumblebee''' (Happy Meal Toy, 2019)
:As a second Happy Meal promotion for ''Cyberverse'', Bumblebee is a 4-inch-tall non-transforming figure with articulation at the hips and arms. As an [[Action Master]]s-esque play feature, he includes a small ship (reminiscent of his Elite Class toy) that can be separated in half and reattached into various pins around his body as weapons or pieces of armor. Oddly this promotion was released just one month after the aforementioned Burger King toy.
{{-}}

==Notes==
[[File:Quidd-evergreen-Bumblebee-robot-mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3]]
*As with some of the ''Cyberverse'' cast, Bumblebee's design is based on the [[evergreen]] design also used for his [[Bumblebee (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], with some minor stylistic tweaks.
*For whatever reason, Bumblebee's insignia is usually missing that white triangle in the "crest".
*Bumblebee's loss of his voice is a borrowed trait from his [[Bumblebee (Movie)|movieverse]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|"Aligned"]] counterparts; his use of bleeps to communicate before leaving Cybertron is derived from the latter, while using radio clips to speak on Earth comes from the former.

'''Bumblebee''' is totally the bravest, coolest, most epic scout in the [[Autobot]] ranks... or, at least, he ''thinks'' he is. Problem is, his memory chip was damaged on [[Earth]], and now he can't remember his critical mission, or how he got to the planet in the first place. It's a good thing that he has the help of his best friend [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] and his leader [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] to rely on, because with [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] and the [[Decepticon]]s hot on his tail, getting his memories back isn't going to be easy.

With his memories intact, 'Bee is easygoing and friendly. Always up for some fun, he often finds himself playing off against his friends' temperaments. When spending time with the thrill-seeking [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], he is comparatively cautious, but also encourages more reserved bots like [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]] or Windblade to try new things and enjoy themselves. That said, he's a dedicated Autobot, and any Decepticon who underestimates him will find themselves on the business end of his high-voltage [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]].

In the era prior to the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]], Bumblebee was close friends with [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and [[Maccadam]] (though he heavily doubted the barkeep was one of the [[Thirteen]]). {{storylink|Maccadam's}} Like many bots of the time, Bumblebee was drawn to the rhetoric of the charismatic gladiator [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

A fan of [[Cube (sport)|Cube]], Bumblebee tried to sneak into the Cube World Championship, even briefly posing as [[Cube mascot|the mascot]], where he befriended the [[Caminus (planet)|Camien]] [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] before security tossed him out. When Windblade called him back in via [[Cityspeaker|cityspeaking]], the two found [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] trying to sabotage the match and tried to thwart him, an adventure that ended in Bumblebee himself being on the Cube court and becoming the star of the show. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} Bumblebee took his new friend to [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]] where he introduced her to his many friends and the barkeep himself who pegged that the duo were hiding in a [[Bumblebee Cave|cave]]. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} At one point afterwards, Bumblebee played a round of Cube with Windblade, but lost despite his best efforts. Jovially, the two friends then had a rematch. {{storylink|Siloed}}

Alongside his friend [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], Bumblebee took a vacation to [[Velocitron]] where he introduced his friend to [[Blurr (Cyberverse)|Blurr]]. As his friends clashed egos, Bumblebee tried to offer aid to [[Nervous bot|a stumbling fellow]] only to be rebuked. A three way between the trio ended in disaster when the [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Plague of Rust]] struck Velocitron destroying the cities and infrastructure in mere hours. With the planet utterly lost, the trio made a mad dash for the [[space bridge]] with Blurr, infected by the Plague, stayed behind to destroy the portal and prevent the spread of the disease to other Cybertronian worlds. {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}}

With Megatron's [[Decepticon]] movement gaining unprecedented popularity, the gladiator's personality took on darker shades with open war soon becoming a real possibility. Bumblebee accompanied [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus]] to a last peace talk where he bore witness to Megatron declaring the Great War. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} When Megatron had slew the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]], Bumblebee brought Optimus to speak with [[Alpha Trion (Cyberverse)|Alpha Trion]], the sole survivor of the attack. With the last vestiges of his power, Trion bestowed the [[Matrix of Leadership]] onto his protege turning him into Optimus Prime. In one battle of the war, Bumblebee and [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] were separated from [[Prowl (Cyberverse)|Prowl]]. Though Bumblebee wanted to go back for their friend, Optimus soon arrived, carrying the wounded tactician over his shoulders. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}

Bumblebee undertook a mission to rescue Optimus from the notorious assassin [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]]. Bumblebee managed to quickly dispatch the [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]] guards and free the Prime, blasting an energon crate to cover their escape, the explosion consuming Shadow Striker. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}} When the Decepticon [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Deadlock]] tried to defect, Bumblebee brought him to the safe refuge of Maccadam's before Megatron arrived and threatened to start a brawl. Maccadam then barged in and transformed into his monstrous [[alternate mode]], claiming that there would be no fighting in ''his'' bar and cowing Megatron enough for him to retreat. Bumblebee congrulated the accomplishment only for Maccadam to shrug it off considering Bumblebee had just driven off a shuttle and blasted a ship with a [[triple-barrel ion shoulder cannon]] in mid-air. Confused, Bumblebee advised that the barkeep not drink so much. {{storylink|Maccadam's}}

Bumblebee's past would soon return to haunt him as when he attempted to prevent an energon shipment from crashing into [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]]. As Bumblebee scrambled to steer the tanker away from a crash landing, Shadow Striker returned, knocking him out and sending the craft plunging into the ice of Cybertron's poles. As the two duked it out, they found themselves pinned under a beam where Shadow Striker recounted the tale behind her survival and reconstruction. When the shifting of the craft allowed Bumblebee to free himself, he showed Shadow Striker mercy only for her to make another attempt to kill him, his life being saved by the timely arrival of Grimlock. Though the Dinobot wanted to pursue the assassin, Bumblebee convinced his friend to let her go. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}}

As the war wound down, the Decepticons captured [[Vector Sigma]] with Bumblebee being sent to scout the area and determine the Decepticons' plans for the computer only for one of [[Shockwave's drones]] to sight him. Though managing to shake off Starscream and Shadow Striker, Bumblebee was defeated by [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] and brought to Megatron who revealed his master plan was to use Vector Sigma to reprogram the [[AllSpark]] and have it birth a generation of loyal Decepticons. Information he was only telling Bumblebee because he made sure that the scout would never tell Optimus, a statement he backed up by ripping up the scout's [[voice box]]. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e3-Allspark-Bumblebee-holds-the-AllSpark.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

Despite his disability, Bumblebee managed to inform Optimus of Megatron's plan prompting the Prime to launch the AllSpark off-world. Tasked with transporting the artifact, Bumblebee was caught off-guard by the AllSpark speaking to him before Starscream struck, destroying the depot Bumblebee was to hide it in. With no recourse, Bumblebee made his way to the [[space bridge]] in Iacon where, despite a heavy Decepticon presence, Optimus managed to launch the AllSpark off Cybertron. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|AllSpark}}

Without the AllSpark however, Cybertron's deterioration sped up. In a later mission, Bumblebee and Optimus fought off the Seekers in the ruins of the [[Grand Imperium]]. Once they'd been chased off, Optimus used the sorry state of the once magnificent structure to emphasize the great damage the war had done to Cybertron and the mistake he'd made in launching the AllSpark, declaring that they had to retrieve it and restore their world. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} The new [[Vanguard-class Deep Space Interceptor|''Vanguard''-class]] vessel, the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']], was soon completed and ready to launch, Bumblebee among its crew. Unable to convince Windblade to join him, the two took a last trip to Maccadam's, now totally ruined, where the old barkeep offered them some energon from his private supply. Maccadam informed the two he would be staying behind but reassured them that, though they would go their separate ways for a while, they'd see each other again and their friendship would endure. As the two shared a toast to their friendship, Maccadam told them to find "the king of the [[Dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaurs]]" before Grimlock called them to the launchpad. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} On the launchpad, Bumblebee said a heartfelt goodbye to Windblade before Optimus called him aboard. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

The ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s journey was not a glamorous one and soon its [[energon]] supply began to dwindle. Once a rich bounty of energon had been detected on a frozen moon, Bumblebee joined Optimus and Grimlock to find the source only for the trio to be attacked by [[Cave monster|native insects]]. Though the three Autobots fought valiantly, their weapons had no effect on the [[alien]]s with Optimus ordering a retreat. Back on the ''Ark'', Optimus had [[Teletraan-1 (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-1]] confirm his hypothesis that the aliens had evolved to feed off the energon. With Optimus deeming the aliens' extinction too high a moral price to pay, he ordered everyone into the [[stasis pod]]s and the ship to be placed under Teletraan's control. Seconds before the cryo-gas overtook Bumblebee, Teletraan detected the AllSpark only for the scout to fall into stasis before he could abort the hibernation sequence. {{storylink|The Journey}}

As the ''Ark'' arrived over [[Earth]], it suffered an engine malfunction prompting Teletraan-1 to reactivate Grimlock so he could deal with the problem only for a hull breach to open in the hibernation bay. Thrown around by the change in pressure, Grimlock shook loose the restraints on several stasis pods, causing them to fly out of the ship. Grimlock desperately clung onto the last of the pods, Bumblebee's, only to loose his grip and send his friend hurtling down to the primitive planet. {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}}

Bumblebee crashed in the [[Himalayas]] and eventually reawoke, though suffering from heavy amnesia. Confused, he befriended a tribe of local goats and lived amongst them for a while before he went off exploring, leaving behind his stasis pod and blaster. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e1-Fractured-Windblade-hugs-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Wait hold on, where did you [[Windblade (G1)#Notes|come from]]?]]
While joyriding through a desert, Bumblebee was found by Windblade only for amnesia to prevent him from recognizing her and mistaking [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]] for a friend Windblade had brought. Enough of Bumblebee's memories remained for him to access his [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] and momentarily paralyzed the Seeker after he'd shown his hostile intentions. After Thundercracker was taken care of, Windblade attempted to use a [[cortical psychic patch]] to connect with Bumblebee's mind and jog his memories only for the device to cause both Autobots to fall into [[stasis lock]]. {{storylink|Fractured}}
[[File:Cyberverse-s1e2-Memory-Windblade-in-Bumblebee's-mind.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Boo!!]]
When the two rebooted, they soon came under attack from Thundercracker and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]]. While Bumblebee tried his best to hold Thundercracker off, his stinger malfunctioned and Windblade ordered him to retreat to a nearby mineshaft instead. He did as instructed, allowing Windblade to bury both Decepticons under a pile of rubble. The two then found the [[Decepticon scout ship]] with Windblade using its additional computing power to successfully use the cortical psychic patch and access Bumblebee's mind only to find he could not recall the location of the AllSpark but Bumblebee did find a memory of the ''Ark'' which convinced him of his and Windblade's friendship. The happy moment was cut short when [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] contacted the ship to know how his scouts were doing. Bumblebee, not remembering that Starscream was an enemy, cheerily answered the call and promptly blew their cover. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

After an erratic chase, Bumblebee set the ship down at a radio tower, exploiting the radio transmissions as cover, Windblade helped Bumblebee remember the AllSpark which roused the scout's memories of the ''Ark'' and Optimus Prime which served as a catalyst for Bumblebee's memories to begin self-repairing. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark}} Further use of the patch helped Bumblebee remember going into stasis and the AllSpark being detected but he could not say where the ''Ark'' had wound up. {{storylink|The Journey}} When Windblade extracted the location of Bumblebee's stasis pod, she went off to investigate leaving her friend to watch [[human]] television, presenting him with his old blaster when she returned. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

As Bumblebee started to remember his early encounters with Megatron, he began to idolize the gladiator once again much to Windblade's alarm. With the cityspeaker's prodding, Bumblebee remember more of the atrocities the warlord had committed, culminating in reliving his voice box being torn out by the tyrant. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Poking around the shuttle some more, Bumblebee found a Cube, reawakening his memories of his and Windblade's first meeting. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} An attempt to use the patch without Windblade brought back Bumblebee's memories of Velocitron's demise, {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}} and a sparring match brought back his memories of Shadow Striker and a hard lesson in picking battles. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}}

While evading a second Decepticon shuttle near Earth's space bridge, Bumblebee remembered Maccadam's on his own. Once he'd used a triple-barrel ion shoulder cannon to deter the Decepticons, the two set down in cave that looked like Bumblebee's head where they used the patch to remember more about Maccadam. In the session the two realized Maccadam's habit of rambling had in fact been prophecies relating to their current adventure and the barkeep's way of helping them, setting them on the search for "the king of the dinosaurs", {{storylink|Maccadam's}} a task made harder by the duo's ignorance on what dinosaurs were. Instead, Windblade directed Bumblebee to a new memory regarding the ''Ark'', hoping to find the ship's location. Within the memory Bumblebee found he was a deep cover Decepticon who'd sabotaged the ''Ark'' and led Megatron right to it. After being tried, Bumblebee broke free and was found by Optimus, a fellow deep cover agent. Realizing such events would never occur, Bumblebee shattered the memory revealing Windblade had been replaced by [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] who demanded to know where the ''Ark'' was in exchange for Windblade's safety. Disconnecting himself, Bumblebee set the shuttle on a collision course with the hangar the Seekers were using as a base once he'd primed the ship's self-destruct. When the two Autobots fled, Bumblebee assured his friend that their being alive was victory enough. {{storylink|Sabotage}}

As the two sought shelter at an airfield, Bumblebee picked up an Autobot distress signal. The beacon led them to a missile silo where they found [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]], an auxiliary data drone from the ''Ark''. Unfortunately, the drone was the bait in a trap laid by the Seekers. As Bumblebee was the only one Teletraan would answer to, [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]] took Windblade hostage to force the scout's compliance only for Bumblebee to soon be on the receiving end of the torture, rousing the drone's security protocols into action. Using Teletraan's map of the complex, the trio made their escape only to be cornered at the exit. With great regret, Bumblebee was forced to leave Windblade behind as he got Teletraan to safety. {{storylink|Teletraan-X (episode)|Teletraan-X}} After listening to Teletraan recount the entirety of human history (which took 4.5 hours), Bumblebee outright asked where the ''Ark'' was... something Teletraan didn't know. Noticing that Bumblebee had retained the cortical psychic patch, Teletraan helped the scout remember more about Optimus Prime and to understand that everyone, even the greatest of heroes, was fallible. Inspired, Bumblebee raced back to the missile silo to free his friend, {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} only to find she'd freed herself and found the location of a new Autobot. {{storylink|Siloed}}

Windblade led the group to a human construction site where Teletraan-X excavated the Autobot whom he then identified as Grimlock, along with a video clip of how Bumblebee and he had been separated. Using the human power grid, the Autobots reactivated Grimlock only to find his [[beast mode]] instincts were dominating his mind. Having found Grimlock's crown, an elaborate homing beacon, Bumblebee had Teletraan crown Grimlock which sent the Dinobot running away. Following the three found Grimlock's base where his video logs managed to trigger his transformation back to robot mode. {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}}

As Grimlock recounted his adventures, his systems picked up Shockwave arriving with two [[magnetic disruptor]]s which the scientist intended to use to shut down Earth's magnetic field. The Autobots made their way to the [[Arctic|North Pole]], on a commandeered cargo plane, where Bumblebee acted as the distraction by doing a jaunty dance. His boogying brought out a vengeful Shadow Striker. When the disruptor was destroyed, Bumblebee raced back aboard the cargo plane, escaping only thanks to Shadow Striker's glitchy limbs. {{storylink|The Extinction Event}}

Back at Grimlock's base, the Dinobot revealed a map of [[Pangaea]] which Teletraan used to place the ''Ark'' at [[Mount St. Hilary]]. When the quartet arrived, they were instantly shot down by the Seekers and Bumblebee found himself used as ammunition in a [[Fastball Special]] against Nova Storm. When the group recovered, Teletraan-X revealed that the [[Decepticon fleet]] was approaching Earth. Their resolve strengthened, the Autobots breached the volcano where they found the ''Ark''. {{storylink|Awaken Sleeping Giants}}

Their joy was short-lived as the Decepticons returned, now revealed to have been tracking them via Shockwave's drones. After initially clashing with Shadow Striker, Bumblebee entered the ''Ark'' with Teletraan and made his way to the hibernation bay. There they found that Teletraan-1 was dead and Teletraan-X quickly began to upload himself into the ship's mainframe only for Shadow Striker to arrive and destroy the drone. Bumblebee attacked his arch foe only to be defeated and once again being saved by Grimlock. As Bumblebee mourned over Teletraan-X, the second magnetic disruptor struck the volcano... only for Teletraan-X to reveal he'd downloaded himself into the ship's mainframe. After Teletraan had used the ship's guns to take care of the Decepticons, he raised the shields in time to protect them all from the eruption. With everyone safe, Teletraan awoke the rest of the crew, Bumblebee hugging Optimus, before the Decepticon fleet arrived, right above the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s resting place. {{storylink|Eruption}}

The Cybertronians eventually became known to humankind. While outside the ''Ark'', Bumblebee was caught on camera doing a dance, eventually ending in a fall and winning the dubious honor of #2 on [[TOP3WEEKLY]]'s "TOP ROBOT FAILS!!" video. At some point, Bumblebee's voice box was repaired.
[[File:Cyberverse Bad Moon Rising Bumblebee.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

When the Decepticons constructed a [[Planet Smasher]] on Earth's moon, the Autobots travelled to the satellite, Bumblebee using the low gravity to dance around the aerial Decepticons before their enemies retreated behind a [[force field]]. After breaching the field and shutting down the Planet Smasher, the Autobots followed into an underground bunker. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}} While unable to catch up with the Decepticons, the Autobots were able to disable the [[planetary engine]]s with which the Decepticons intended to destroy Earth. As Optimus made a statement to the human race, Bumblebee noticed [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|an animal]] watching them only for it to disappear when he tried to show it to Hot Rod. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}}

Asking around the ''Ark'', Bumblebee learnt from [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] that the creature he'd seen was a cheetah. Heading to Wheeljack's lab to see if the inventor had any useful inventions, Bumblebee bore witness to Grimlock gorging himself on [[Hyper-Fuel]], Bumblebee racing after his overcharged friend only to constantly bested by his kinetic energy. Cornering the primary airlock with Wheeljack, Bumblebee accidentally created a [[black hole]] that threatened to devour Hot Rod before Optimus casually saved the day with Wheeljack's [[force shield blaster]]. Hot Rod then sighted the moon cheetah outside the ''Ark'', the two scouts racing after it. Left in the dust by Hot Rod and the cheetah's speed, Bumblebee failed to make it to the [[GroundBridge]] before it closed. Sulking off, Bumblebee griped that no one would believe him. {{storylink|The Visitor}}

After the GroundBridge network was discovered, the Autobots used it to triangulate the AllSpark's location. While the Autobots managed to force open a portal to the artefact's location, it was found that only Optimus could pass through. Optimus eventually returned, explaining that Starscream had seized the AllSpark but introduced the cheetah as "Cheetor", newest member of the Autobots. {{storylink|Trials}}

Once Cheetor had explained his backstory, the Autobots invaded the ''Nemesis'' for the AllSpark and Vector Sigma. While Optimus led the main attack force, Bumblebee and Hot Rod backed up Cheetor as he searched the ship for the AllSpark. When Cheetor tried to sense the artefact however, he discovered that it was not aboard the ''Nemesis'', revealing this to everyone and ending the battle. When Megatron revealed that Starscream had gone rogue, it set the stage for the next round of Autobot/Decepticon peace talks. {{storylink|Dark Birth}} Confident that these peace talks would fail, Bumblebee lounged around with Hot Rod and Cheetor before Slipstream was killed by [[Bludgeon (Cyberverse)|Bludgeon]], sparking a free for all. With no alliance to be had, Optimus declared that the Autobots would have to stop Starscream on their own. {{storylink|Parley}}

Acting on Slipstream's intelligence, Bumblebee returned to the missile silo only for Cheetor to discover that the AllSpark was no longer present. Upon returning to the ''Ark'', a distress came in from the ''Nemesis'', under siege from Starscream. Arriving, the strike team found the Decepticons to have been paralyzed by a [[scraplet]] swarm. After being separated from Optimus and Windblade, Bumblebee told Cheetor to press on and find the AllSpark even as the scraplets swarmed him. While Cheetor failed to retrieve the AllSpark, he did manage to have it send out a wave of energy that healed the ''Nemesis'' and everyone aboard. {{storylink|Starscream's Children}}

As Cheetor attempted to find his place in the Autobot chain of command, Bumblebee decided to train him as a scout. The two were eventually captured by Starscream, who sought to assimilate Cheetor's AllSpark powers into himself, only for Cheetor to use liquid energon to briefly turn the scraplets' feral hunger against the Seekers. Having managed to capture one of the critters, the two scouts brought it to Wheeljack for study. {{storylink|Spotted}} When Wheeljack tried to use the creature to locate Starscream, he ran across Shockwave, having had the same idea, who used a hologram of a captured Bumblebee to ensure the Autobot's cooperation. {{storylink|Secret Science}}

When the ''Ark'' came under attack, the Autobots thought it Starscream only to discover, to their dismay, that it was [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]]. After they told the shark that [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]] was dead, he flew off in a huff, leaving the Autobots to reminisce about how much they hated him. It was then that the still alive Jetfire turned up, requesting aid in his vendetta, only for Optimus to turn him down, prioritizing the search for the AllSpark. {{storylink|Infinite Vendetta}}

Jetfire eventually led the Autobots to the AllSpark's hiding place only for the Decepticons to arrive followed by an AllSpark empowered Starscream. Through his new powers, Starscream nearly extracted the [[spark]]s of all those present only for Optimus to channel the power of the Matrix to blast the AllSpark out the Seeker. As Bumblebee tended to his leader, the Decepticons seized the AllSpark before the now feral scraplets turned on everyone. Protecting Optimus, Bumblebee remained on the sidelines throughout the battle before the cavern began collapsing. After both Optimus and the AllSpark had been taken through a GroundBridge to the ''Ark'', Bumblebee made a point to retrieve Starscream's body, reasoning that Optimus would want the Seeker to face justice. {{storylink|I Am The Allspark}}

As part of a scheme to get the AllSpark off of Earth, Bumblebee and Cheetor remotely piloted one of a quintet of shuttles the Autobots intended to use as decoys. The ''Nemesis'' pursued and destroyed the shuttles, and while the Decepticons were distracted, the ''Ark'' lifted off and made a beeline for the space bridge in Earth's orbit. However, Sky-Byte, not fooled by the Autobot ploy, attacked the ''Ark'' and broke onto the bridge, Grimlock knocking the attacker back out into space. However, Sky-Byte's gambit had bought the ''Nemesis'' the time it needed to intercept the ''Ark'', nearly destroying it with a turbolaser barrage, before Cheetor used the AllSpark to repair the Autobot ship, allowing it to slip past the ''Nemesis''. As the ''Ark'' reached the space bridge however, the portal violently exploded. Though, like the others, Bumblebee was initially disheartened, his fighting spirit was restored when Optimus returned to the bridge and ordered a course set for home. {{storylink|Escape From Earth}}

As the ''Ark'' sailed through space, Grimlock set up a celebratory party, Bumblebee faking a "C-class emergency" to bring Optimus to the hangar bay. After the Prime made an incredibly awkward speech, celebrations began in full swing, He was later a victim of Wheeljack's malfunctioning AllSpark Energy Emitter Badges, driving him to attack everything in a maddened rage. Optimus eventually managed to shut down the chips, and later made the ultimate sacrifice, dancing, to get the victory celebration back on track. {{storylink|Party Down}}

When passing through a dense asteroid field, Bumblebee, Cheetor and Hot Rod broke out the [[solar-wave boards]] and went surfing solar flares before they discovered unusual formations in the rocks. When another solar flare struck, the three were separated with Bumblebee being found by [[the Tails]], a faction of the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]] race. Brought with them to [[the Park]], Bumblebee reunited with his friends, both of whom had fallen in with the other two Sharkticon factions, with the Autobots convincing the species to reunify, albeit against the Autobots. Retreating back to the ''Ark'', Cheetor used the AllSpark to reconstitute the [[Sharkticon homeworld]], securing peace for the aliens. {{storylink|Wiped Out}}

While discussing Cheetor's longing for Earth, Bumblebee and Cheetor found that Windblade had stolen the AllSpark, her will overridden by an entity from [[Croaton's planet|a red planet]]. Joined by Optimus and Hot Rod, the two scouts followed the cityspeaker to the planet's surface and found an abandoned city which Windblade tried to reach the centre of. Constantly delayed by the city's automatic defences, the group could not stop Windblade from unleashing the AllSpark at the city's heart only to find that the possessing entity was one of the legendary [[Titan (group)|Titans]]. Introducing himself as [[Croaton (Cyberverse)|Croaton]], the Titan told them his story, apologizing for any trouble he'd caused before he set off to find the colonists that had been abducted from him. {{storylink|Ghost Town}}

After forty cycles in space, the Autobots soon became bored. An EMP storm soon struck the vessel, locking Bumblebee, and everyone else, in position before Grimlock and Arcee managed to restore power to the ship and their crewmates. Unaware of what had just transpired, Bumblebee and Hot Rod stole a shuttle, eager for an adventure. {{storylink|Perfect Storm}}

When a distress call from [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]] came in, the Autobots repaired an old space bridge to try and quickly return home. The repairs were only a partial success as the Ark soon wound up trapped in unspace, the void between universes. Meeting up with other versions of themselves, the nine groups of Autobots used all their AllSparks to punch open a portal back to their universes. Arriving in orbit of Cybertron, the Autobots had a hearty cheer that their struggles were finally over. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}
[[File:Cyberverse EOTU II Bumblebee OtherDimension.jpg|300px|thumb|right]]

Failing to raise Chromia, Optimus suspected a trap, entrusting the AllSpark to Cheetor as he ordered everyone to abandon ship, leaving the ''Ark'' to be blown up by a [[laser snare]]. Along with Hot Rod, Bumblebee was assigned to guard Cheetor, the three remaining on the outskirts of the battle under orders to not enter the [[Threshold of the Well]] until a direct path had been cleared. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}

After Chromia informed Windblade of a backdoor to the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of the AllSpark]], "Team Hot Rod" began making their way underground. When the three stopped at a toxic energon swamp to regain their bearings, [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Drift]] caught up with them. Though the three welcomed Drift's aid, the swordsmech lunged at the three, revealing himself to having been a deep-cover Decepticon agent. As Hot Rod delayed the traitor, Bumblebee and Cheetor pressed further underground, coming to rest in a jungle. As Cheetor theorized about the environment, Bumblebee was captured by [[Repugnus (Cyberverse)|Repugnus]] and his tribe of [[Monsterbot (Cyberverse)|Monsterbots]]. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}

Strung up, Bumblebee was nearly devoured by the Monsterbots before Cheetor found him, using the AllSpark to quell the diminutive Cybertronians' hunger and win their friendship. The Monsterbots guided the duo to the Well where they found Shockwave waiting for them. After the scientist knocked Cheetor out, Bumblebee used his fallen friend's spear to disable Shockwave, allowing the two to return the AllSpark to its resting point and return life to Cybertron. As they basked in their victory, Shockwave awoke and extracted his spark, using its malignant energies to try and corrupt the AllSpark.

Realizing what he had to do, Cheetor bid a fond goodbye to Bumblebee and sacrificed his own spark to purify the AllSpark and ensure the future of the Cybertronian race. As Cybertron began to heal itself, Cheetor's voice spoke out to Bumblebee one last time, assuring his friend that he would always be with him in spirit. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}}

The peace would not last long however. The [[Quintesson]]s soon invaded Cybertron, locking the populace in a virtual reality that celebrated the [[Parade of Metals]]. Within the Loop, Bumblebee chatted up with several of his friends only to be barred from reaching Windblade by the parade floats. During his early attempts to free the Cybertronians from the Loop, Hot Rod tried to free Bumblebee to no avail. {{storylink|The Loop}} {{storylink|The Sleeper}} Along with the others, Bumblebee was freed when [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] hacked into the Loop and introduced a flock of [[Air Hammer (Cyberverse)|Air Hammers]] into the simulation, the beasts shocking everyone into transforming whereupon they awoke and retreated to [[Iaconus]]. {{storylink|The Scientist}}

As part of a team-building exercise, Bumblebee was placed in a team with [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]], Shadow Striker, and [[Lockdown (Cyberverse)|Lockdown]], taking on swarms of drones. {{storylink|The Alliance}} When it was determined that the only way to destroy the Quintesson flagship was to draw out the [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]] and its army, Bumblebee was part of Optimus and Megatron's strike team that infiltrated the ship. When the group reached the [[multiverse drive]], they were confronted by the [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]]. While Megatron promptly shot the Quintesson dead, he deployed an army of backup bodies, Bumblebee and Optimus holding them off as Wheeljack, backed up by Megatron and Dead End, disabled the drive only for the Decepticons to betray Wheeljack as they fled to another universe. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}}

Soon afterwards, the Judge, damaged beyond repair by Hot Rod's group, crashed into the ship, its out of control weapons collapsing it. With no recourse, the three Autobots used the drive and jumped into another universe only to be confounded by its shifting architecture. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}} The shifts eventually put Bumblebee next to the portal home. Optimus ordered Bumblebee to hold his position, {{storylink|The End Of The Universe II}} before Wheeljack simply used his grappling gun to reunite the trio. Passing back through the portal, the Autobots found themselves in the Scientist's laboratory, facing off against his endless supply of bodies before Wheeljack tracked the Scientist's command signal to his true body, a diminutive organic creature, and squashed him. With the alien dead, the three moved outside to deal with the brainwashed Croaton. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe III}} Arriving outside, the Autobots joined the fight against the [[Prosecutor (Cyberverse)|Prosecutors]] before they were confronted by the new Judge, Starscream, and Megatron arrived aboard [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]]. With both leaders in one place, Starscream began using unspace to destroy the universe before both used their Matrices of Leadership to defeat the Judge, saving the universe. In the aftermath, the Transformers formed a truce. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

During the course of the invasion, Windblade had overexerted herself freeing the brainwashed Croaton. With the Titan's city mode now serving as the Decepticon capital, Hot Rod sent Bumblebee was to scout their territory. Making his way to the cityspeaker chamber, Bumblebee was found by Shadow Striker who took him to Windblade's braindead body in the infirmary. Though Shadow Striker allowed Bumblebee to leave in peace, he was soon discovered, forcing him to call for reinforcements, [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]] carrying Windblade away. Though the two nearly made it back to Autobot territory, they were intercepted by Megatron, who was ready to execute them, before Optimus arrived, citing that Megatron holding an Autobot was a treaty violation. Though Megatron let the Autobots go, he warned them to never return. In Iaconus' medbay, Ratchet explained Windblade's state before Chromia entered with a potential solution. {{storylink|Enemy Line}}

Using a psychic tracker from Caminus, Chromia led Bumblebee across Cybertron to Windblade's various psychic shards. The first of these led the two friends to [[Crystal City]] where they befriended [[Thunderhowl (Cyberverse)|Thunderhowl]] and aided him in defeating the [[Crystalline King]]. {{storylink|Thunderhowl (episode)|Thunderhowl}} When another shard was detected on [[Moonbase Three|Luna 3]], Chromia directed Bumblebee to [[Meteorfire (Cyberverse)|Meteorfire]] for aid in breaching the moon's [[force field]]. Though the former star brought Bumblebee to the moon, his obsession with the macabre led to the two exploring the abandoned communications hub where Bumblebee was haunted by ghosts of fallen warriors. The two eventually discovered that the cause of the ghosts was an [[obicular-class parasitic entity]]. Channeling his multiverse energy, Bumblebee shattered the entity, not only retrieving Windblade's shard but freeing [[Cosmos (Cyberverse)|Cosmos]], who'd been held captive by the alien. {{storylink|Alien Hunt! With Meteorfire And Cosmos}}

Along with Grimlock, Bumblebee ventured deep underground to the valley of the Monsterbots for the next shard before an energon river separated them. Awakening to the sight of a massive city, Bumblebee discovered that the Monsterbot society had been taken over by the decadent [[Energon Master]]s, run by [[Affluous]]. After earning the ire of Affluous, Bumblebee attempted to roll out only to be affected by "the shocks" and imprisoned him. While in jail, Bumblebee met [[Teknicus]] who explained that he'd built a tower for Affluous that cause the shocks. After channeling his multiverse energy for a jailbreak, Bumblebee destroyed the tower, just as Grimlock led Repugnus' group into the city, collecting the shard of Windblade. {{storylink|Journey To The Valley Of Repugnus}}

When Ratchet prepared to upload what they had of Windblade's mind, [[Hammerbyte|a shark]] broke in and stole her body. Along with Chromia, Bumblebee followed in a shuttle to the [[Argon Sea]], diving in after it. After the two had dealt with some energy sucking fauna, the shark returned, Bumblebee subduing it with his stinger. In the process however, he was knocked loose and plunged into the depths of the sea. On the sea floor, Bumblebee found a service hatch just as Chromia caught up with him. Waving her after him, Bumblebee entered only to fall under the thrall of the [[Dweller (Cyberverse)|Dweller]] being forced to attack Chromia before she used his own stinger to free him. Once they'd all escaped the rogue Titan, Bumblebee and Chromia took Windblade back to Iaconus, bidding farewell to Hammerbyte. {{storylink|Dweller In The Depths (Cyberverse)|Dweller In The Depths}}
[[File:Cyberverse TheOtherOne Bumblebee.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

After Optimus Prime had received instructions from the [[Thirteen]] to destroy the alternate version of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] that Megatron had brought into their reality, Bumblebee joined the infiltration team into Croaton, during which Chromia saved him from an attack by Shadow Striker. After the Autobots had made it to the control room, they and the Decepticons were suddenly surrounded by towering hostiles. {{storylink|Silent Strike}}

The hostiles were quickly identified as [[Perfect Decepticon]]s created by [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|an alternate version of Megatron]] who had won the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]] and the owner of the alternate Matrix. Along with the other Autobots, Bumblebee battled several Perfect Decepticons and received a power boost of multiverse energy from Optimus Prime. When the alternate Megatron arrived, he disabled his counterpart before reclaiming his Matrix. Before he could merge it with once again, Bumblebee stole it and flew off.

Dodging several Perfect Decepticons, Bumblebee made for the border only to be knocked down by Megatron X before he could find a way through the shield. Before the invader could slay Bumblebee, Optimus engaged him in a duel of Matrices long enough for Windblade, the last of her shards within the alternate Matrix, to disable the talisman, allowing Optimus to triumph, Bumblebee collecting the last piece of his friend from the tyrant's broken body. After Astrotrain had taken Megatron X away, Ratchet presented the recovered Windblade to the Autobots, Bumblebee hugging his friend. {{storylink|The Other One}}

====Alternate universes====
A series of multiversal Bumblebees were among those who found themselves trapped in unspace after attempting to use the improperly repaired space bridge. Though a few lost their lives to the matter between universes, most were able to escape using the combined power of their AllSparks. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

In a different universe, when Optimus confronted [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] following his attack on the High Council, Megatron realized that he and Optimus would oppose each other forevermore and slew his once friend with a point blank [[fusion cannon]] blast before he seized the Matrix from him. Though Bumblebee tried to aid his leader, he was restrained by Starscream and Shadow Striker, eventually being slain. When Megatron X crossed over into the primary timeline, he referenced Bumblebee to his counterpart, noting that he had died as a simple scout. {{storylink|The Other One}}

*'''Bumblebee''' (Tiny Turbo Changers, [[2019]])
**''Series'' '''1, 2'''
**''Bag Code'': '''A'''
:Released in the first Series of ''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)|Cyberverse]]'' [[Tiny Turbo Changers]], Bumblebee changes from sports car to robot and back in a few simple steps. Like many toys in the line, Bumblebee has a molded "attack" weapon; in his case he has a blue "stinger" molded in place of his left hand. Many copies of this figure come with the waist assembled backwards, but this is easily remedied by popping his legs off and flipping his waist part around.

:Bumblebee was also released without changes in Series 2.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Scout Class, 2019)
**''Action Attack'': "Hive Swarm"
:This new Bumblebee is an all new sculpt despite superficial similarities to the first scout toy. His attack gimmick causes rocket packs to flip from under his arms. Unlike the first toy, both of his arms have 5mm compatible fists.

:This Bumblebee figure was originally slated to be released as the sole new figure in the second wave of Scout Class figures branded under the ''Power of the Spark'' [[subline imprint]]. However, that wave was ultimately never released anywhere in the world, and instead, the figure was eventually released as part of the second wave of Scout Class figures branded under the ''Bumblebee: Cyberverse Adventures'' subline imprint.

:''Cyberverse'' 1-Step Changer Bumblebee is a redeco of ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' "Patrol Mode" [[Bumblebee (WFC)/toys#PatrolMode|Bumblebee]], painted to disguise the fact that he's a completely different design, and transforms from robot to vehicle in a single step. He lacks the scannable roof insignia from the ''Robots in Disguise'' toy.

**''Japanese Name'': '''Turbo Change Bumblebee'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[Calendar|July]] [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-01'''
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:This Bumblebee is an all-new mold, sharing the same transformation scheme with [[Drift (AOE)#Turbo Changers|Turbo Changers Drift]] from [[Transformers: The Last Knight (toyline)|the ''Last Knight'' toyline]]. His left arm also features a spinning Stinger gimmick.

====Warrior Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Warrior-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Warrior Class, 2018)
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class Bumblebee transforms from robot to car. His "Sting Shot" Action Attack gimmick is activated when his left arm is clicked in place, pushing the chest up. Pushing his chest down causes his arm to spring up and the stinger on his hand to [[Cyber-slash tail weapon|spin and spin]]. Due to this, he lacks articulation in his left arm entirely, save for this gimmick. The right arm contains a forward swivel in the shoulder and a hinge at the elbow, and the hips are ball jointed.

:The knees are seemingly meant to have joints, but due to their design have a tendency to just pop off - the lower leg is a single piece that simply snaps over the end of the thigh and the small rounded pegs that are meant to hold it together are very small. Additionally, a thick ridge on the rounded bottom end of the thigh forces the two sections apart when the knee is rotated; removing this ridge or swapping the thighs seems to restore this functionality.

:The stock photography (to the right) shows the figure with yellow joints sticking out of the hood, which is grey and black and the final version. The same stock photo also strangely has the right arm lower down the body than the actual figure, despite the toy ''not being able to do that.'' Meanwhile: the switch that activates his spinning stinger is yellow in the stock photo instead of the final product's unpaintable black plastic.

:This Bumblebee is a retool of the Warrior Class figure above, featuring a new head and forearms with missile-based weaponry.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Ultra Class, 2020)
:This Ultra Class Bumblebee is a brand new mold with an armor gimmick instead of an Action Attack. He also comes with 2 swords.

:Along with a few ''Cyberverse'' figures, this Bumblebee was meant to be released for the Japanese markets by [[TakaraTomy]], under the name "TCV-35 Weapon Trigger Bumblebee" with an April 2020 release date. Unfortunately, unlike the Deluxe Class figures, the toy's release is canceled due to either poor sales or the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, or both.

====Elite Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Elite-Class-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=2|thumb|"Bang Bang Simulations!"]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Elite Class, 2019)
**''Japanese Name'': '''Battleship Power Bumblebee'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[Calendar|September]] [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-15'''
**''Spark Armor'': Ocean Storm

:''Cyberverse'' Elite Class Bumblebee is a Warrior Class-sized mold that transforms from robot to car. He features better articulation and a more screen-accurate design due to a different conversion scheme and lack of built-in gimmick. He also comes with the "[[Ocean Storm]]" Spark Armor accessory that is evocative of the Yamato cruiser from ''Space Battleship Yamato'', which can form his battle armor in robot mode. The armor automatically transforms in place if folded down when combined with Bumblebee.

:Like all ''Cyberverse'' Elite-class armor, The Ocean Storm features a unique built-in helmet. Its armor mode has limited articulation, with elbow and bicep swivel joints, but does not have any shoulder articulation to speak of due to the way it automatically transforms when attached. As a result, it cannot assume the slightly splayed stance that it is shown in on the back of the package. It also has a flip-out anchor weapon which snaps into place in ship mode and unlocks by changing to armor mode. In addition, the armor features multiple 5 mm post holes, including the hands, shoulders, elbows, and one on the left forearm. The bridge and conning tower are only held in by friction, and as such may pop out during play. The clip that locks into Bumblebee's waist can be rather tight, but can be disconnected by lifting the plate up rather than trying to pull it forward.

:The CG stock renders also depict his unpaintable joints as black before it was replaced into light gray.

:The Ocean Storm was redecoed with a new helmet into [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)#Cyberverse|Cheetor]]'s Sea Fury armor.

**''Japanese Name'': '''Action Master Bumblebee'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[October]] [[2020]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''Action Master 04'''
**''Accessories'': Blaster, Stinger, Stinger effect part
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"

:Released as part of the ''Cyberverse'' [[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)#Deluxe Class|Deluxe Class]] lineup, this Bumblebee is a show-accurate mold that is more poseable than most of his previous releases. He comes with a handheld blaster and a removable Stinger that can be wielded by his 5mm hands, and an effect part for the Stinger. Bumblebee features 5mm posts on his chest and right leg, compatible with the Fire Blasts included in the [[Battle Master]] toys.

:In Japan, Bumblebee is released as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive. The catalog reveals that he is originally intended to be sold for the regular markets (hence the "TCV-32" ID Number) with a March 2020 release date. Like the rest of the figures, he is released in a windowless, monochrome packaging.

==Merchandise==
===Burger King===
*'''Bumblebee''' (Burger King Toy, 2019)
:Burger King's take on Bumblebee is a non-transforming figure that also looks rather reminiscent to his Elite Class toy with the inclusion of grey battleship parts sculpted on his body as armor. His right arm and hips are articulated, whereas his left arm has a spring-loaded projective launcher molded into it.
{{-}}

===McDonald's===
*'''Bumblebee''' (Happy Meal Toy, 2019)
:As a second Happy Meal promotion for ''Cyberverse'', Bumblebee is a 4-inch-tall non-transforming figure with articulation at the hips and arms. As an [[Action Master]]s-esque play feature, he includes a small ship (reminiscent of his Elite Class toy) that can be separated in half and reattached into various pins around his body as weapons or pieces of armor. Oddly this promotion was released just one month after the aforementioned Burger King toy.

==Notes==
[[File:Quidd-evergreen-Bumblebee-robot-mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3]]
*As with some of the ''Cyberverse'' cast, Bumblebee's design is based on the [[evergreen]] design also used for his [[Bumblebee (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], with some minor stylistic tweaks.
*For whatever reason, Bumblebee's insignia is usually missing that white triangle in the "crest".
*Bumblebee's loss of his voice is a borrowed trait from his [[Bumblebee (Movie)|movieverse]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|"Aligned"]] counterparts; his use of bleeps to communicate before leaving Cybertron is derived from the latter, while using radio clips to speak on Earth comes from the former.

'''Bumblebee''' is totally the bravest, coolest, most epic scout in the [[Autobot]] ranks... or, at least, he ''thinks'' he is. Problem is, his memory chip was damaged on [[Earth]], and now he can't remember his critical mission, or how he got to the planet in the first place. It's a good thing that he has the help of his best friend [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] and his leader [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] to rely on, because with [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] and the [[Decepticon]]s hot on his tail, getting his memories back isn't going to be easy.

With his memories intact, 'Bee is easygoing and friendly. Always up for some fun, he often finds himself playing off against his friends' temperaments. When spending time with the thrill-seeking [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], he is comparatively cautious, but also encourages more reserved bots like [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]] or Windblade to try new things and enjoy themselves. That said, he's a dedicated Autobot, and any Decepticon who underestimates him will find themselves on the business end of his high-voltage [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]].

In the era prior to the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]], Bumblebee was close friends with [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and [[Maccadam]] (though he heavily doubted the barkeep was one of the [[Thirteen]]). {{storylink|Maccadam's}} Like many bots of the time, Bumblebee was drawn to the rhetoric of the charismatic gladiator [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]]. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

A fan of [[Cube (sport)|Cube]], Bumblebee tried to sneak into the Cube World Championship, even briefly posing as [[Cube mascot|the mascot]], where he befriended the [[Caminus (planet)|Camien]] [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] before security tossed him out. When Windblade called him back in via [[Cityspeaker|cityspeaking]], the two found [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] trying to sabotage the match and tried to thwart him, an adventure that ended in Bumblebee himself being on the Cube court and becoming the star of the show. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} Bumblebee took his new friend to [[Maccadam's Old Oil House]] where he introduced her to his many friends and the barkeep himself who pegged that the duo were hiding in a [[Bumblebee Cave|cave]]. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} At one point afterwards, Bumblebee played a round of Cube with Windblade, but lost despite his best efforts. Jovially, the two friends then had a rematch. {{storylink|Siloed}}

Alongside his friend [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], Bumblebee took a vacation to [[Velocitron]] where he introduced his friend to [[Blurr (Cyberverse)|Blurr]]. As his friends clashed egos, Bumblebee tried to offer aid to [[Nervous bot|a stumbling fellow]] only to be rebuked. A three way between the trio ended in disaster when the [[Cosmic Rust (disease)|Plague of Rust]] struck Velocitron destroying the cities and infrastructure in mere hours. With the planet utterly lost, the trio made a mad dash for the [[space bridge]] with Blurr, infected by the Plague, stayed behind to destroy the portal and prevent the spread of the disease to other Cybertronian worlds. {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}}

With Megatron's [[Decepticon]] movement gaining unprecedented popularity, the gladiator's personality took on darker shades with open war soon becoming a real possibility. Bumblebee accompanied [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus]] to a last peace talk where he bore witness to Megatron declaring the Great War. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} When Megatron had slew the [[Autobot High Council|High Council]], Bumblebee brought Optimus to speak with [[Alpha Trion (Cyberverse)|Alpha Trion]], the sole survivor of the attack. With the last vestiges of his power, Trion bestowed the [[Matrix of Leadership]] onto his protege turning him into Optimus Prime. In one battle of the war, Bumblebee and [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] were separated from [[Prowl (Cyberverse)|Prowl]]. Though Bumblebee wanted to go back for their friend, Optimus soon arrived, carrying the wounded tactician over his shoulders. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}}

Bumblebee undertook a mission to rescue Optimus from the notorious assassin [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]]. Bumblebee managed to quickly dispatch the [[Seeker (Cyberverse)|Seeker]] guards and free the Prime, blasting an energon crate to cover their escape, the explosion consuming Shadow Striker. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}} When the Decepticon [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Deadlock]] tried to defect, Bumblebee brought him to the safe refuge of Maccadam's before Megatron arrived and threatened to start a brawl. Maccadam then barged in and transformed into his monstrous [[alternate mode]], claiming that there would be no fighting in ''his'' bar and cowing Megatron enough for him to retreat. Bumblebee congrulated the accomplishment only for Maccadam to shrug it off considering Bumblebee had just driven off a shuttle and blasted a ship with a [[triple-barrel ion shoulder cannon]] in mid-air. Confused, Bumblebee advised that the barkeep not drink so much. {{storylink|Maccadam's}}

Bumblebee's past would soon return to haunt him as when he attempted to prevent an energon shipment from crashing into [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon City]]. As Bumblebee scrambled to steer the tanker away from a crash landing, Shadow Striker returned, knocking him out and sending the craft plunging into the ice of Cybertron's poles. As the two duked it out, they found themselves pinned under a beam where Shadow Striker recounted the tale behind her survival and reconstruction. When the shifting of the craft allowed Bumblebee to free himself, he showed Shadow Striker mercy only for her to make another attempt to kill him, his life being saved by the timely arrival of Grimlock. Though the Dinobot wanted to pursue the assassin, Bumblebee convinced his friend to let her go. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}}

As the war wound down, the Decepticons captured [[Vector Sigma]] with Bumblebee being sent to scout the area and determine the Decepticons' plans for the computer only for one of [[Shockwave's drones]] to sight him. Though managing to shake off Starscream and Shadow Striker, Bumblebee was defeated by [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]] and brought to Megatron who revealed his master plan was to use Vector Sigma to reprogram the [[AllSpark]] and have it birth a generation of loyal Decepticons. Information he was only telling Bumblebee because he made sure that the scout would never tell Optimus, a statement he backed up by ripping up the scout's [[voice box]]. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e3-Allspark-Bumblebee-holds-the-AllSpark.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

Despite his disability, Bumblebee managed to inform Optimus of Megatron's plan prompting the Prime to launch the AllSpark off-world. Tasked with transporting the artifact, Bumblebee was caught off-guard by the AllSpark speaking to him before Starscream struck, destroying the depot Bumblebee was to hide it in. With no recourse, Bumblebee made his way to the [[space bridge]] in Iacon where, despite a heavy Decepticon presence, Optimus managed to launch the AllSpark off Cybertron. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|AllSpark}}

Without the AllSpark however, Cybertron's deterioration sped up. In a later mission, Bumblebee and Optimus fought off the Seekers in the ruins of the [[Grand Imperium]]. Once they'd been chased off, Optimus used the sorry state of the once magnificent structure to emphasize the great damage the war had done to Cybertron and the mistake he'd made in launching the AllSpark, declaring that they had to retrieve it and restore their world. {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} The new [[Vanguard-class Deep Space Interceptor|''Vanguard''-class]] vessel, the [[Ark (Cyberverse)|''Ark'']], was soon completed and ready to launch, Bumblebee among its crew. Unable to convince Windblade to join him, the two took a last trip to Maccadam's, now totally ruined, where the old barkeep offered them some energon from his private supply. Maccadam informed the two he would be staying behind but reassured them that, though they would go their separate ways for a while, they'd see each other again and their friendship would endure. As the two shared a toast to their friendship, Maccadam told them to find "the king of the [[Dinosaur (dinosaur)|dinosaurs]]" before Grimlock called them to the launchpad. {{storylink|Maccadam's}} On the launchpad, Bumblebee said a heartfelt goodbye to Windblade before Optimus called him aboard. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

The ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s journey was not a glamorous one and soon its [[energon]] supply began to dwindle. Once a rich bounty of energon had been detected on a frozen moon, Bumblebee joined Optimus and Grimlock to find the source only for the trio to be attacked by [[Cave monster|native insects]]. Though the three Autobots fought valiantly, their weapons had no effect on the [[alien]]s with Optimus ordering a retreat. Back on the ''Ark'', Optimus had [[Teletraan-1 (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-1]] confirm his hypothesis that the aliens had evolved to feed off the energon. With Optimus deeming the aliens' extinction too high a moral price to pay, he ordered everyone into the [[stasis pod]]s and the ship to be placed under Teletraan's control. Seconds before the cryo-gas overtook Bumblebee, Teletraan detected the AllSpark only for the scout to fall into stasis before he could abort the hibernation sequence. {{storylink|The Journey}}

As the ''Ark'' arrived over [[Earth]], it suffered an engine malfunction prompting Teletraan-1 to reactivate Grimlock so he could deal with the problem only for a hull breach to open in the hibernation bay. Thrown around by the change in pressure, Grimlock shook loose the restraints on several stasis pods, causing them to fly out of the ship. Grimlock desperately clung onto the last of the pods, Bumblebee's, only to loose his grip and send his friend hurtling down to the primitive planet. {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}}

Bumblebee crashed in the [[Himalayas]] and eventually reawoke, though suffering from heavy amnesia. Confused, he befriended a tribe of local goats and lived amongst them for a while before he went off exploring, leaving behind his stasis pod and blaster. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

[[File:Cyberverse-s1e1-Fractured-Windblade-hugs-Bumblebee.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Wait hold on, where did you [[Windblade (G1)#Notes|come from]]?]]
While joyriding through a desert, Bumblebee was found by Windblade only for amnesia to prevent him from recognizing her and mistaking [[Thundercracker (Cyberverse)|Thundercracker]] for a friend Windblade had brought. Enough of Bumblebee's memories remained for him to access his [[Stinger (weapon)|stinger]] and momentarily paralyzed the Seeker after he'd shown his hostile intentions. After Thundercracker was taken care of, Windblade attempted to use a [[cortical psychic patch]] to connect with Bumblebee's mind and jog his memories only for the device to cause both Autobots to fall into [[stasis lock]]. {{storylink|Fractured}}
[[File:Cyberverse-s1e2-Memory-Windblade-in-Bumblebee's-mind.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Boo!!]]
When the two rebooted, they soon came under attack from Thundercracker and [[Nova Storm (Cyberverse)|Nova Storm]]. While Bumblebee tried his best to hold Thundercracker off, his stinger malfunctioned and Windblade ordered him to retreat to a nearby mineshaft instead. He did as instructed, allowing Windblade to bury both Decepticons under a pile of rubble. The two then found the [[Decepticon scout ship]] with Windblade using its additional computing power to successfully use the cortical psychic patch and access Bumblebee's mind only to find he could not recall the location of the AllSpark but Bumblebee did find a memory of the ''Ark'' which convinced him of his and Windblade's friendship. The happy moment was cut short when [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]] contacted the ship to know how his scouts were doing. Bumblebee, not remembering that Starscream was an enemy, cheerily answered the call and promptly blew their cover. {{storylink|Memory (Cyberverse)|Memory}}

After an erratic chase, Bumblebee set the ship down at a radio tower, exploiting the radio transmissions as cover, Windblade helped Bumblebee remember the AllSpark which roused the scout's memories of the ''Ark'' and Optimus Prime which served as a catalyst for Bumblebee's memories to begin self-repairing. {{storylink|Allspark (Cyberverse)|Allspark}} Further use of the patch helped Bumblebee remember going into stasis and the AllSpark being detected but he could not say where the ''Ark'' had wound up. {{storylink|The Journey}} When Windblade extracted the location of Bumblebee's stasis pod, she went off to investigate leaving her friend to watch [[human]] television, presenting him with his old blaster when she returned. {{storylink|Whiteout}}

As Bumblebee started to remember his early encounters with Megatron, he began to idolize the gladiator once again much to Windblade's alarm. With the cityspeaker's prodding, Bumblebee remember more of the atrocities the warlord had committed, culminating in reliving his voice box being torn out by the tyrant. {{storylink|Megatron Is My Hero}} Poking around the shuttle some more, Bumblebee found a Cube, reawakening his memories of his and Windblade's first meeting. {{storylink|Cube (episode)|Cube}} An attempt to use the patch without Windblade brought back Bumblebee's memories of Velocitron's demise, {{storylink|Terminal Velocity}} and a sparring match brought back his memories of Shadow Striker and a hard lesson in picking battles. {{storylink|Shadowstriker (episode)|Shadowstriker}}

While evading a second Decepticon shuttle near Earth's space bridge, Bumblebee remembered Maccadam's on his own. Once he'd used a triple-barrel ion shoulder cannon to deter the Decepticons, the two set down in cave that looked like Bumblebee's head where they used the patch to remember more about Maccadam. In the session the two realized Maccadam's habit of rambling had in fact been prophecies relating to their current adventure and the barkeep's way of helping them, setting them on the search for "the king of the dinosaurs", {{storylink|Maccadam's}} a task made harder by the duo's ignorance on what dinosaurs were. Instead, Windblade directed Bumblebee to a new memory regarding the ''Ark'', hoping to find the ship's location. Within the memory Bumblebee found he was a deep cover Decepticon who'd sabotaged the ''Ark'' and led Megatron right to it. After being tried, Bumblebee broke free and was found by Optimus, a fellow deep cover agent. Realizing such events would never occur, Bumblebee shattered the memory revealing Windblade had been replaced by [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] who demanded to know where the ''Ark'' was in exchange for Windblade's safety. Disconnecting himself, Bumblebee set the shuttle on a collision course with the hangar the Seekers were using as a base once he'd primed the ship's self-destruct. When the two Autobots fled, Bumblebee assured his friend that their being alive was victory enough. {{storylink|Sabotage}}

As the two sought shelter at an airfield, Bumblebee picked up an Autobot distress signal. The beacon led them to a missile silo where they found [[Teletraan-X (Cyberverse)|Teletraan-X]], an auxiliary data drone from the ''Ark''. Unfortunately, the drone was the bait in a trap laid by the Seekers. As Bumblebee was the only one Teletraan would answer to, [[Slipstream (Cyberverse)|Slipstream]] took Windblade hostage to force the scout's compliance only for Bumblebee to soon be on the receiving end of the torture, rousing the drone's security protocols into action. Using Teletraan's map of the complex, the trio made their escape only to be cornered at the exit. With great regret, Bumblebee was forced to leave Windblade behind as he got Teletraan to safety. {{storylink|Teletraan-X (episode)|Teletraan-X}} After listening to Teletraan recount the entirety of human history (which took 4.5 hours), Bumblebee outright asked where the ''Ark'' was... something Teletraan didn't know. Noticing that Bumblebee had retained the cortical psychic patch, Teletraan helped the scout remember more about Optimus Prime and to understand that everyone, even the greatest of heroes, was fallible. Inspired, Bumblebee raced back to the missile silo to free his friend, {{storylink|Matrix of Leadership (episode)|Matrix of Leadership}} only to find she'd freed herself and found the location of a new Autobot. {{storylink|Siloed}}

Windblade led the group to a human construction site where Teletraan-X excavated the Autobot whom he then identified as Grimlock, along with a video clip of how Bumblebee and he had been separated. Using the human power grid, the Autobots reactivated Grimlock only to find his [[beast mode]] instincts were dominating his mind. Having found Grimlock's crown, an elaborate homing beacon, Bumblebee had Teletraan crown Grimlock which sent the Dinobot running away. Following the three found Grimlock's base where his video logs managed to trigger his transformation back to robot mode. {{storylink|King of the Dinosaurs}}

As Grimlock recounted his adventures, his systems picked up Shockwave arriving with two [[magnetic disruptor]]s which the scientist intended to use to shut down Earth's magnetic field. The Autobots made their way to the [[Arctic|North Pole]], on a commandeered cargo plane, where Bumblebee acted as the distraction by doing a jaunty dance. His boogying brought out a vengeful Shadow Striker. When the disruptor was destroyed, Bumblebee raced back aboard the cargo plane, escaping only thanks to Shadow Striker's glitchy limbs. {{storylink|The Extinction Event}}

Back at Grimlock's base, the Dinobot revealed a map of [[Pangaea]] which Teletraan used to place the ''Ark'' at [[Mount St. Hilary]]. When the quartet arrived, they were instantly shot down by the Seekers and Bumblebee found himself used as ammunition in a [[Fastball Special]] against Nova Storm. When the group recovered, Teletraan-X revealed that the [[Decepticon fleet]] was approaching Earth. Their resolve strengthened, the Autobots breached the volcano where they found the ''Ark''. {{storylink|Awaken Sleeping Giants}}

Their joy was short-lived as the Decepticons returned, now revealed to have been tracking them via Shockwave's drones. After initially clashing with Shadow Striker, Bumblebee entered the ''Ark'' with Teletraan and made his way to the hibernation bay. There they found that Teletraan-1 was dead and Teletraan-X quickly began to upload himself into the ship's mainframe only for Shadow Striker to arrive and destroy the drone. Bumblebee attacked his arch foe only to be defeated and once again being saved by Grimlock. As Bumblebee mourned over Teletraan-X, the second magnetic disruptor struck the volcano... only for Teletraan-X to reveal he'd downloaded himself into the ship's mainframe. After Teletraan had used the ship's guns to take care of the Decepticons, he raised the shields in time to protect them all from the eruption. With everyone safe, Teletraan awoke the rest of the crew, Bumblebee hugging Optimus, before the Decepticon fleet arrived, right above the ''Ark''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s resting place. {{storylink|Eruption}}

The Cybertronians eventually became known to humankind. While outside the ''Ark'', Bumblebee was caught on camera doing a dance, eventually ending in a fall and winning the dubious honor of #2 on [[TOP3WEEKLY]]'s "TOP ROBOT FAILS!!" video. At some point, Bumblebee's voice box was repaired.
[[File:Cyberverse Bad Moon Rising Bumblebee.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

When the Decepticons constructed a [[Planet Smasher]] on Earth's moon, the Autobots travelled to the satellite, Bumblebee using the low gravity to dance around the aerial Decepticons before their enemies retreated behind a [[force field]]. After breaching the field and shutting down the Planet Smasher, the Autobots followed into an underground bunker. {{storylink|Sea of Tranquility}} While unable to catch up with the Decepticons, the Autobots were able to disable the [[planetary engine]]s with which the Decepticons intended to destroy Earth. As Optimus made a statement to the human race, Bumblebee noticed [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|an animal]] watching them only for it to disappear when he tried to show it to Hot Rod. {{storylink|Bad Moon Rising}}

Asking around the ''Ark'', Bumblebee learnt from [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]] that the creature he'd seen was a cheetah. Heading to Wheeljack's lab to see if the inventor had any useful inventions, Bumblebee bore witness to Grimlock gorging himself on [[Hyper-Fuel]], Bumblebee racing after his overcharged friend only to constantly bested by his kinetic energy. Cornering the primary airlock with Wheeljack, Bumblebee accidentally created a [[black hole]] that threatened to devour Hot Rod before Optimus casually saved the day with Wheeljack's [[force shield blaster]]. Hot Rod then sighted the moon cheetah outside the ''Ark'', the two scouts racing after it. Left in the dust by Hot Rod and the cheetah's speed, Bumblebee failed to make it to the [[GroundBridge]] before it closed. Sulking off, Bumblebee griped that no one would believe him. {{storylink|The Visitor}}

After the GroundBridge network was discovered, the Autobots used it to triangulate the AllSpark's location. While the Autobots managed to force open a portal to the artefact's location, it was found that only Optimus could pass through. Optimus eventually returned, explaining that Starscream had seized the AllSpark but introduced the cheetah as "Cheetor", newest member of the Autobots. {{storylink|Trials}}

Once Cheetor had explained his backstory, the Autobots invaded the ''Nemesis'' for the AllSpark and Vector Sigma. While Optimus led the main attack force, Bumblebee and Hot Rod backed up Cheetor as he searched the ship for the AllSpark. When Cheetor tried to sense the artefact however, he discovered that it was not aboard the ''Nemesis'', revealing this to everyone and ending the battle. When Megatron revealed that Starscream had gone rogue, it set the stage for the next round of Autobot/Decepticon peace talks. {{storylink|Dark Birth}} Confident that these peace talks would fail, Bumblebee lounged around with Hot Rod and Cheetor before Slipstream was killed by [[Bludgeon (Cyberverse)|Bludgeon]], sparking a free for all. With no alliance to be had, Optimus declared that the Autobots would have to stop Starscream on their own. {{storylink|Parley}}

Acting on Slipstream's intelligence, Bumblebee returned to the missile silo only for Cheetor to discover that the AllSpark was no longer present. Upon returning to the ''Ark'', a distress came in from the ''Nemesis'', under siege from Starscream. Arriving, the strike team found the Decepticons to have been paralyzed by a [[scraplet]] swarm. After being separated from Optimus and Windblade, Bumblebee told Cheetor to press on and find the AllSpark even as the scraplets swarmed him. While Cheetor failed to retrieve the AllSpark, he did manage to have it send out a wave of energy that healed the ''Nemesis'' and everyone aboard. {{storylink|Starscream's Children}}

As Cheetor attempted to find his place in the Autobot chain of command, Bumblebee decided to train him as a scout. The two were eventually captured by Starscream, who sought to assimilate Cheetor's AllSpark powers into himself, only for Cheetor to use liquid energon to briefly turn the scraplets' feral hunger against the Seekers. Having managed to capture one of the critters, the two scouts brought it to Wheeljack for study. {{storylink|Spotted}} When Wheeljack tried to use the creature to locate Starscream, he ran across Shockwave, having had the same idea, who used a hologram of a captured Bumblebee to ensure the Autobot's cooperation. {{storylink|Secret Science}}

When the ''Ark'' came under attack, the Autobots thought it Starscream only to discover, to their dismay, that it was [[Sky-Byte (Cyberverse)|Sky-Byte]]. After they told the shark that [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]] was dead, he flew off in a huff, leaving the Autobots to reminisce about how much they hated him. It was then that the still alive Jetfire turned up, requesting aid in his vendetta, only for Optimus to turn him down, prioritizing the search for the AllSpark. {{storylink|Infinite Vendetta}}

Jetfire eventually led the Autobots to the AllSpark's hiding place only for the Decepticons to arrive followed by an AllSpark empowered Starscream. Through his new powers, Starscream nearly extracted the [[spark]]s of all those present only for Optimus to channel the power of the Matrix to blast the AllSpark out the Seeker. As Bumblebee tended to his leader, the Decepticons seized the AllSpark before the now feral scraplets turned on everyone. Protecting Optimus, Bumblebee remained on the sidelines throughout the battle before the cavern began collapsing. After both Optimus and the AllSpark had been taken through a GroundBridge to the ''Ark'', Bumblebee made a point to retrieve Starscream's body, reasoning that Optimus would want the Seeker to face justice. {{storylink|I Am The Allspark}}

As part of a scheme to get the AllSpark off of Earth, Bumblebee and Cheetor remotely piloted one of a quintet of shuttles the Autobots intended to use as decoys. The ''Nemesis'' pursued and destroyed the shuttles, and while the Decepticons were distracted, the ''Ark'' lifted off and made a beeline for the space bridge in Earth's orbit. However, Sky-Byte, not fooled by the Autobot ploy, attacked the ''Ark'' and broke onto the bridge, Grimlock knocking the attacker back out into space. However, Sky-Byte's gambit had bought the ''Nemesis'' the time it needed to intercept the ''Ark'', nearly destroying it with a turbolaser barrage, before Cheetor used the AllSpark to repair the Autobot ship, allowing it to slip past the ''Nemesis''. As the ''Ark'' reached the space bridge however, the portal violently exploded. Though, like the others, Bumblebee was initially disheartened, his fighting spirit was restored when Optimus returned to the bridge and ordered a course set for home. {{storylink|Escape From Earth}}

As the ''Ark'' sailed through space, Grimlock set up a celebratory party, Bumblebee faking a "C-class emergency" to bring Optimus to the hangar bay. After the Prime made an incredibly awkward speech, celebrations began in full swing, He was later a victim of Wheeljack's malfunctioning AllSpark Energy Emitter Badges, driving him to attack everything in a maddened rage. Optimus eventually managed to shut down the chips, and later made the ultimate sacrifice, dancing, to get the victory celebration back on track. {{storylink|Party Down}}

When passing through a dense asteroid field, Bumblebee, Cheetor and Hot Rod broke out the [[solar-wave boards]] and went surfing solar flares before they discovered unusual formations in the rocks. When another solar flare struck, the three were separated with Bumblebee being found by [[the Tails]], a faction of the [[Sharkticon (species)|Sharkticon]] race. Brought with them to [[the Park]], Bumblebee reunited with his friends, both of whom had fallen in with the other two Sharkticon factions, with the Autobots convincing the species to reunify, albeit against the Autobots. Retreating back to the ''Ark'', Cheetor used the AllSpark to reconstitute the [[Sharkticon homeworld]], securing peace for the aliens. {{storylink|Wiped Out}}

While discussing Cheetor's longing for Earth, Bumblebee and Cheetor found that Windblade had stolen the AllSpark, her will overridden by an entity from [[Croaton's planet|a red planet]]. Joined by Optimus and Hot Rod, the two scouts followed the cityspeaker to the planet's surface and found an abandoned city which Windblade tried to reach the centre of. Constantly delayed by the city's automatic defences, the group could not stop Windblade from unleashing the AllSpark at the city's heart only to find that the possessing entity was one of the legendary [[Titan (group)|Titans]]. Introducing himself as [[Croaton (Cyberverse)|Croaton]], the Titan told them his story, apologizing for any trouble he'd caused before he set off to find the colonists that had been abducted from him. {{storylink|Ghost Town}}

After forty cycles in space, the Autobots soon became bored. An EMP storm soon struck the vessel, locking Bumblebee, and everyone else, in position before Grimlock and Arcee managed to restore power to the ship and their crewmates. Unaware of what had just transpired, Bumblebee and Hot Rod stole a shuttle, eager for an adventure. {{storylink|Perfect Storm}}

When a distress call from [[Chromia (Cyberverse)|Chromia]] came in, the Autobots repaired an old space bridge to try and quickly return home. The repairs were only a partial success as the Ark soon wound up trapped in unspace, the void between universes. Meeting up with other versions of themselves, the nine groups of Autobots used all their AllSparks to punch open a portal back to their universes. Arriving in orbit of Cybertron, the Autobots had a hearty cheer that their struggles were finally over. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}
[[File:Cyberverse EOTU II Bumblebee OtherDimension.jpg|300px|thumb|right]]

Failing to raise Chromia, Optimus suspected a trap, entrusting the AllSpark to Cheetor as he ordered everyone to abandon ship, leaving the ''Ark'' to be blown up by a [[laser snare]]. Along with Hot Rod, Bumblebee was assigned to guard Cheetor, the three remaining on the outskirts of the battle under orders to not enter the [[Threshold of the Well]] until a direct path had been cleared. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}} {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}

After Chromia informed Windblade of a backdoor to the [[Well of All Sparks|Well of the AllSpark]], "Team Hot Rod" began making their way underground. When the three stopped at a toxic energon swamp to regain their bearings, [[Drift (Cyberverse)|Drift]] caught up with them. Though the three welcomed Drift's aid, the swordsmech lunged at the three, revealing himself to having been a deep-cover Decepticon agent. As Hot Rod delayed the traitor, Bumblebee and Cheetor pressed further underground, coming to rest in a jungle. As Cheetor theorized about the environment, Bumblebee was captured by [[Repugnus (Cyberverse)|Repugnus]] and his tribe of [[Monsterbot (Cyberverse)|Monsterbots]]. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}

Strung up, Bumblebee was nearly devoured by the Monsterbots before Cheetor found him, using the AllSpark to quell the diminutive Cybertronians' hunger and win their friendship. The Monsterbots guided the duo to the Well where they found Shockwave waiting for them. After the scientist knocked Cheetor out, Bumblebee used his fallen friend's spear to disable Shockwave, allowing the two to return the AllSpark to its resting point and return life to Cybertron. As they basked in their victory, Shockwave awoke and extracted his spark, using its malignant energies to try and corrupt the AllSpark.

Realizing what he had to do, Cheetor bid a fond goodbye to Bumblebee and sacrificed his own spark to purify the AllSpark and ensure the future of the Cybertronian race. As Cybertron began to heal itself, Cheetor's voice spoke out to Bumblebee one last time, assuring his friend that he would always be with him in spirit. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}}

The peace would not last long however. The [[Quintesson]]s soon invaded Cybertron, locking the populace in a virtual reality that celebrated the [[Parade of Metals]]. Within the Loop, Bumblebee chatted up with several of his friends only to be barred from reaching Windblade by the parade floats. During his early attempts to free the Cybertronians from the Loop, Hot Rod tried to free Bumblebee to no avail. {{storylink|The Loop}} {{storylink|The Sleeper}} Along with the others, Bumblebee was freed when [[Perceptor (Cyberverse)|Perceptor]] hacked into the Loop and introduced a flock of [[Air Hammer (Cyberverse)|Air Hammers]] into the simulation, the beasts shocking everyone into transforming whereupon they awoke and retreated to [[Iaconus]]. {{storylink|The Scientist}}

As part of a team-building exercise, Bumblebee was placed in a team with [[Arcee (Cyberverse)|Arcee]], Shadow Striker, and [[Lockdown (Cyberverse)|Lockdown]], taking on swarms of drones. {{storylink|The Alliance}} When it was determined that the only way to destroy the Quintesson flagship was to draw out the [[Judge (Cyberverse)|Judge]] and its army, Bumblebee was part of Optimus and Megatron's strike team that infiltrated the ship. When the group reached the [[multiverse drive]], they were confronted by the [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]]. While Megatron promptly shot the Quintesson dead, he deployed an army of backup bodies, Bumblebee and Optimus holding them off as Wheeljack, backed up by Megatron and Dead End, disabled the drive only for the Decepticons to betray Wheeljack as they fled to another universe. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}}

Soon afterwards, the Judge, damaged beyond repair by Hot Rod's group, crashed into the ship, its out of control weapons collapsing it. With no recourse, the three Autobots used the drive and jumped into another universe only to be confounded by its shifting architecture. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe I}} The shifts eventually put Bumblebee next to the portal home. Optimus ordered Bumblebee to hold his position, {{storylink|The End Of The Universe II}} before Wheeljack simply used his grappling gun to reunite the trio. Passing back through the portal, the Autobots found themselves in the Scientist's laboratory, facing off against his endless supply of bodies before Wheeljack tracked the Scientist's command signal to his true body, a diminutive organic creature, and squashed him. With the alien dead, the three moved outside to deal with the brainwashed Croaton. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe III}} Arriving outside, the Autobots joined the fight against the [[Prosecutor (Cyberverse)|Prosecutors]] before they were confronted by the new Judge, Starscream, and Megatron arrived aboard [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]]. With both leaders in one place, Starscream began using unspace to destroy the universe before both used their Matrices of Leadership to defeat the Judge, saving the universe. In the aftermath, the Transformers formed a truce. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

During the course of the invasion, Windblade had overexerted herself freeing the brainwashed Croaton. With the Titan's city mode now serving as the Decepticon capital, Hot Rod sent Bumblebee was to scout their territory. Making his way to the cityspeaker chamber, Bumblebee was found by Shadow Striker who took him to Windblade's braindead body in the infirmary. Though Shadow Striker allowed Bumblebee to leave in peace, he was soon discovered, forcing him to call for reinforcements, [[Whirl (Cyberverse)|Whirl]] carrying Windblade away. Though the two nearly made it back to Autobot territory, they were intercepted by Megatron, who was ready to execute them, before Optimus arrived, citing that Megatron holding an Autobot was a treaty violation. Though Megatron let the Autobots go, he warned them to never return. In Iaconus' medbay, Ratchet explained Windblade's state before Chromia entered with a potential solution. {{storylink|Enemy Line}}

Using a psychic tracker from Caminus, Chromia led Bumblebee across Cybertron to Windblade's various psychic shards. The first of these led the two friends to [[Crystal City]] where they befriended [[Thunderhowl (Cyberverse)|Thunderhowl]] and aided him in defeating the [[Crystalline King]]. {{storylink|Thunderhowl (episode)|Thunderhowl}} When another shard was detected on [[Moonbase Three|Luna 3]], Chromia directed Bumblebee to [[Meteorfire (Cyberverse)|Meteorfire]] for aid in breaching the moon's [[force field]]. Though the former star brought Bumblebee to the moon, his obsession with the macabre led to the two exploring the abandoned communications hub where Bumblebee was haunted by ghosts of fallen warriors. The two eventually discovered that the cause of the ghosts was an [[obicular-class parasitic entity]]. Channeling his multiverse energy, Bumblebee shattered the entity, not only retrieving Windblade's shard but freeing [[Cosmos (Cyberverse)|Cosmos]], who'd been held captive by the alien. {{storylink|Alien Hunt! With Meteorfire And Cosmos}}

Along with Grimlock, Bumblebee ventured deep underground to the valley of the Monsterbots for the next shard before an energon river separated them. Awakening to the sight of a massive city, Bumblebee discovered that the Monsterbot society had been taken over by the decadent [[Energon Master]]s, run by [[Affluous]]. After earning the ire of Affluous, Bumblebee attempted to roll out only to be affected by "the shocks" and imprisoned him. While in jail, Bumblebee met [[Teknicus]] who explained that he'd built a tower for Affluous that cause the shocks. After channeling his multiverse energy for a jailbreak, Bumblebee destroyed the tower, just as Grimlock led Repugnus' group into the city, collecting the shard of Windblade. {{storylink|Journey To The Valley Of Repugnus}}

When Ratchet prepared to upload what they had of Windblade's mind, [[Hammerbyte|a shark]] broke in and stole her body. Along with Chromia, Bumblebee followed in a shuttle to the [[Argon Sea]], diving in after it. After the two had dealt with some energy sucking fauna, the shark returned, Bumblebee subduing it with his stinger. In the process however, he was knocked loose and plunged into the depths of the sea. On the sea floor, Bumblebee found a service hatch just as Chromia caught up with him. Waving her after him, Bumblebee entered only to fall under the thrall of the [[Dweller (Cyberverse)|Dweller]] being forced to attack Chromia before she used his own stinger to free him. Once they'd all escaped the rogue Titan, Bumblebee and Chromia took Windblade back to Iaconus, bidding farewell to Hammerbyte. {{storylink|Dweller In The Depths (Cyberverse)|Dweller In The Depths}}
[[File:Cyberverse TheOtherOne Bumblebee.jpg|300px|thumb|left]]

After Optimus Prime had received instructions from the [[Thirteen]] to destroy the alternate version of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] that Megatron had brought into their reality, Bumblebee joined the infiltration team into Croaton, during which Chromia saved him from an attack by Shadow Striker. After the Autobots had made it to the control room, they and the Decepticons were suddenly surrounded by towering hostiles. {{storylink|Silent Strike}}

The hostiles were quickly identified as [[Perfect Decepticon]]s created by [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|an alternate version of Megatron]] who had won the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]] and the owner of the alternate Matrix. Along with the other Autobots, Bumblebee battled several Perfect Decepticons and received a power boost of multiverse energy from Optimus Prime. When the alternate Megatron arrived, he disabled his counterpart before reclaiming his Matrix. Before he could merge it with once again, Bumblebee stole it and flew off.

Dodging several Perfect Decepticons, Bumblebee made for the border only to be knocked down by Megatron X before he could find a way through the shield. Before the invader could slay Bumblebee, Optimus engaged him in a duel of Matrices long enough for Windblade, the last of her shards within the alternate Matrix, to disable the talisman, allowing Optimus to triumph, Bumblebee collecting the last piece of his friend from the tyrant's broken body. After Astrotrain had taken Megatron X away, Ratchet presented the recovered Windblade to the Autobots, Bumblebee hugging his friend. {{storylink|The Other One}}

====Alternate universes====
A series of multiversal Bumblebees were among those who found themselves trapped in unspace after attempting to use the improperly repaired space bridge. Though a few lost their lives to the matter between universes, most were able to escape using the combined power of their AllSparks. {{storylink|The Crossroads}}

In a different universe, when Optimus confronted [[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] following his attack on the High Council, Megatron realized that he and Optimus would oppose each other forevermore and slew his once friend with a point blank [[fusion cannon]] blast before he seized the Matrix from him. Though Bumblebee tried to aid his leader, he was restrained by Starscream and Shadow Striker, eventually being slain. When Megatron X crossed over into the primary timeline, he referenced Bumblebee to his counterpart, noting that he had died as a simple scout. {{storylink|The Other One}}

*'''Bumblebee''' (Warrior Class, 2018)
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"
:''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class Bumblebee transforms from robot to car. His "Sting Shot" Action Attack gimmick is activated when his left arm is clicked in place, pushing the chest up. Pushing his chest down causes his arm to spring up and the stinger on his hand to [[Cyber-slash tail weapon|spin and spin]]. Due to this, he lacks articulation in his left arm entirely, save for this gimmick. The right arm contains a forward swivel in the shoulder and a hinge at the elbow, and the hips are ball jointed.

:The knees are seemingly meant to have joints, but due to their design have a tendency to just pop off - the lower leg is a single piece that simply snaps over the end of the thigh and the small rounded pegs that are meant to hold it together are very small. Additionally, a thick ridge on the rounded bottom end of the thigh forces the two sections apart when the knee is rotated; removing this ridge or swapping the thighs seems to restore this functionality.

:The stock photography (to the right) shows the figure with yellow joints sticking out of the hood, which is grey and black and the final version. The same stock photo also strangely has the right arm lower down the body than the actual figure, despite the toy ''not being able to do that.'' Meanwhile: the switch that activates his spinning stinger is yellow in the stock photo instead of the final product's unpaintable black plastic.

*'''Bumblebee''' (Ultra Class, 2020)
:This Ultra Class Bumblebee is a brand new mold with an armor gimmick instead of an Action Attack. He also comes with 2 swords.

:Along with a few ''Cyberverse'' figures, this Bumblebee was meant to be released for the Japanese markets by [[TakaraTomy]], under the name "TCV-35 Weapon Trigger Bumblebee" with an April 2020 release date. Unfortunately, unlike the Deluxe Class figures, the toy's release is canceled due to either poor sales or the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, or both.

This gimmick can be activated in both robot and vehicle mode.

====Elite Class====
[[File:TF-Cyberverse-Elite-Class-Bumblebee.jpg|upright=2|thumb|"Bang Bang Simulations!"]]
*'''Bumblebee''' (Elite Class, 2019)
**''Japanese Name'': '''Battleship Power Bumblebee'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[Calendar|September]] [[2019]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''TCV-15'''
**''Spark Armor'': Ocean Storm

:''Cyberverse'' Elite Class Bumblebee is a Warrior Class-sized mold that transforms from robot to car. He features better articulation and a more screen-accurate design due to a different conversion scheme and lack of built-in gimmick. He also comes with the "[[Ocean Storm]]" Spark Armor accessory that is evocative of the Yamato cruiser from ''Space Battleship Yamato'', which can form his battle armor in robot mode. The armor automatically transforms in place if folded down when combined with Bumblebee.

:Like all ''Cyberverse'' Elite-class armor, The Ocean Storm features a unique built-in helmet. Its armor mode has limited articulation, with elbow and bicep swivel joints, but does not have any shoulder articulation to speak of due to the way it automatically transforms when attached. As a result, it cannot assume the slightly splayed stance that it is shown in on the back of the package. It also has a flip-out anchor weapon which snaps into place in ship mode and unlocks by changing to armor mode. In addition, the armor features multiple 5 mm post holes, including the hands, shoulders, elbows, and one on the left forearm. The bridge and conning tower are only held in by friction, and as such may pop out during play. The clip that locks into Bumblebee's waist can be rather tight, but can be disconnected by lifting the plate up rather than trying to pull it forward.

:The CG stock renders also depict his unpaintable joints as black before it was replaced into light gray.

:The Ocean Storm was redecoed with a new helmet into [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)#Cyberverse|Cheetor]]'s Sea Fury armor.

**''Build-a-Figure part'': Maccadam's waist
**''Japanese Name'': '''Action Master Bumblebee'''
**''Japanese Release Date'': [[October]] [[2020]]
**''Japanese ID Number'': '''Action Master 04'''
**''Accessories'': Blaster, Stinger, Stinger effect part
**''Action Attack'': "Sting Shot"

:Released as part of the ''Cyberverse'' [[Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)#Deluxe Class|Deluxe Class]] lineup, this Bumblebee is a show-accurate mold that is more poseable than most of his previous releases. He comes with a handheld blaster and a removable Stinger that can be wielded by his 5mm hands, and an effect part for the Stinger. Bumblebee features 5mm posts on his chest and right leg, compatible with the Fire Blasts included in the [[Battle Master]] toys.

:In Japan, Bumblebee is released as a TakaraTomy Mall exclusive. The catalog reveals that he is originally intended to be sold for the regular markets (hence the "TCV-32" ID Number) with a March 2020 release date. Like the rest of the figures, he is released in a windowless, monochrome packaging.

==Merchandise==
===Burger King===
*'''Bumblebee''' (Burger King Toy, 2019)
:Burger King's take on Bumblebee is a non-transforming figure that also looks rather reminiscent to his Elite Class toy with the inclusion of grey battleship parts sculpted on his body as armor. His right arm and hips are articulated, whereas his left arm has a spring-loaded projective launcher molded into it.
{{-}}

===McDonald's===
*'''Bumblebee''' (Happy Meal Toy, 2019)
:As a second Happy Meal promotion for ''Cyberverse'', Bumblebee is a 4-inch-tall non-transforming figure with articulation at the hips and arms. As an [[Action Master]]s-esque play feature, he includes a small ship (reminiscent of his Elite Class toy) that can be separated in half and reattached into various pins around his body as weapons or pieces of armor. Oddly this promotion was released just one month after the aforementioned Burger King toy.

==Notes==
[[File:Quidd-evergreen-Bumblebee-robot-mode.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3]]
*As with some of the ''Cyberverse'' cast, Bumblebee's design is based on the [[evergreen]] design also used for his [[Bumblebee (G1)|Generation 1 counterpart]], with some minor stylistic tweaks.
*For whatever reason, Bumblebee's insignia is usually missing that white triangle in the "crest".
*Bumblebee's loss of his voice is a borrowed trait from his [[Bumblebee (Movie)|movieverse]] and [[Bumblebee (WFC)|"Aligned"]] counterparts; his use of bleeps to communicate before leaving Cybertron is derived from the latter, while using radio clips to speak on Earth comes from the former.

Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)

2021-07-09T12:58:24Z

Cardion: /* Warrior Class */

{{disambig2|the 2018 toyline based on the animated series|the 2011 cross-series toy gimmick system|Cyberverse (toyline)}}
{{nav-cyberverse}}
{{cleanup|June 2021| no TakaraTomy releases.}}
[[File:Cyberverse overview small.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|Who said that [[scale]] was a thing?]]
The '''''Transformers: Cyberverse''''' toyline continues the trend set by ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' of targeting the young demographic lying between the preschool and preteen audiences. The line focuses on "G1 inspired design" and new play patterns while featuring a diverse cast of legacy characters.

Announced in time for New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], ''Cyberverse'' brought with it the line-wide "Action Attack" [[gimmick]], with figures from most assortments including a unique "attacking" play feature. The line also reintroduces a line-wide [[size class]] naming system, following ''Robots in Disguise''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s erratic mix of designations, with the one exception being the returning 1-Step Changers. While Warrior Class remains similar to its ''Robots in Disguise'' counterpart, the new Scout, Ultra, and Ultimate Classes bear little correlation to previous assortments.

Starting in [[2019]], the toyline entered its first [[subline imprint]], '''''Power of the Spark''''', reflecting the second chapter of the television show. While 2018's "Action Attack" size classes and their unique gimmicks continued under this, the new "Spark Armor" play pattern added more size classes, involving accessory vehicles that could split apart into interchangeable armor. As of late 2019 official product reveals for ''Cyberverse'' almost entirely ceased, leaving fans unaware of new releases until they were found in stores or on online listings. Hasbro representatives at the time cited a lack of interest in the line from collectors as the reason for this. The developing COVID-19 pandemic probably didn't help this situation either as physical conventions where new toys would be spotted on display also came to a halt. This led to a great many surprises for fans as relatively obscure characters set to appear in the cartoon's third chapter were suddenly receiving new toys on shelves months before their on-screen debuts.

For [[2020]] the line was retitled as '''''Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures''''' (initially a subline imprint marked on a few figures as ''''''Battle for Cybertron'''''') though no reason was ever given for the rebranding. This assortment revamped Ultra and Ultimate Class figures, which now featured flip-up "Energon Armor" and accompanying weapons. Many of the figures for this year were now labeled with a "Cybertronian Mode" to tie-in with the show's story taking place solely on the Transformers' homeworld. This year the line also received the Deluxe Class, a more ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]''-esque subline of figures featuring [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] details and accessories, more complex transformations, and better [[articulation]]. The first wave also included pieces for a [[Maccadam]] build-a-bot figure. If that wasn't enough, 2020 also saw the introduction of the "Battle Call" gimmick, adding even more size classes to the line which featured voice activated electronic features.

After what seemed the end for ''Cyberverse'' after its creators stated that the show's third season was the finale, it did indeed continue into [[2021]] with the '''''Dinobots Unite''''' subline imprint. Now going under the title ''"Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures"'' on all products, this subline introduced the rest of the [[Dinobot (Cyberverse)|Dinobots]] to join [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and focused on combining gimmicks and automatic conversion with the new "Roll and Combine" and "Roll 'n' Transform" assortments. This continuation makes ''Cyberverse'' the longest running cartoon tie-in toyline in recent memory.

{{Note|Continuing the trend set by ''Robots in Disguise'', many Cyberverse toys would see re-releases in later assortments in new packaging. This page lists each figure in the wave and subline it first appeared in.}}

===2018===

====Scout Class====
While a similar size to previous Scout assortments, these figures possess the unique quirk of having only partial transformations, converting into hybrid robot/alt-mode forms in which their Action Attack gimmicks are activated as the final transformation step. Due to their simplicity, some figures' Action Attacks can also be activated in robot mode.

====1-Step Changers====

Initially, ''Robots in Disguise'' molds were reused for the entire first wave but following this all 1-Step Changers are new molds, even if they reuse transformation schemes from older ones. As of wave 3, even they sport Action Attack gimmicks though these are particularly basic.

====Warrior Class====
''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class figures are broadly similar to the ''Robots in Disguise'' assortment of the same name, though with much less focus on articulation. Their Action Attacks are activated in robot mode as the final transformation step, although some figures can also activate it in alternate mode.

====Deluxe Class====
Traditional Deluxe Class figures debuted at the same MSRP as the concurrent ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'', aimed at older audiences and featuring similar elements, including 5 mm ports and effect parts. Figures released in Waves 1 - 4 have a piece of [[Maccadam#Toys|Maccadam]] as a Build-A-Figure, while Wave 5 figures lack a Build-A-Figure altogether.

===Tiny Turbo Changers===
''[[Tiny Turbo Changers]]'' is a line of [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] vinyl figures featuring characters from ''Cyberverse''. Despite them ostensibly being blind-bagged, it's possible to tell which figure you're getting thanks to a small clear window and embossed letter code on the reverse of the package.

The first Series barely made it to US retail, showing up at (some) [[Kmart]]s and later some grocery store chains during the holidays in 2019. Series 2 started to pop up in [[Target]]s in July 2020, while Series 3 was available in a few international markets (in some of them as early as late 2019), but has yet to be found in the United States. Series 4 has thus far only been found in Canada.

==''Cyberverse'' (TakaraTomy)==
{{stub}}
===Exclusives===
Deluxe Class figures were released in Japan under the name "'''Action Master'''" (Oh, the irony!). Originally regular releases with the "TCV" ID number, they were moved to being Takara Tomy Mall exclusives with an August 2020 release. The reason for this is unknown, though this is most likely due to poor sales of previous toys or in light of the current COVID-19 outbreak.

==Notes==
*Like with previous lines, Hasbro used character-specific code names for the toys.
:*For the 2018 releases, the theme was "''{{w|Seinfeld}}'' characters":
{{collist|3|
:::*Acid Storm: "Uncle Leo"
:::*Blurr: "Morty"
:::*Bumblebee: "Costanza"
:::*Grimlock: "Puddy"
:::*Megatron: "Newman"
:::*Optimus Prime: "Peterman"
:::*Shadow Striker: "Susie"
:::*Shockwave: "Kramer"
:::*Slipstream: "Estelle"
:::*Soundwave: "Kruger"
:::*Starscream: "Bania"
:::*Windblade: "Elaine"
}}

:*For the 2019 releases, Hasbro abandoned the "Seinfeld" theme in favor of a new "baseball teams" theme:
{{collist|3|
:::*Bumblebee: "Ironbirds"
:::*Hot Rod: "Isotopes"
:::*Megatron: "Quakes"
:::*Optimus Prime: "Woodducks"
:::*Prowl: "Flying Squirrels"
:::*Ratchet: "Aces"
:::*Shadow Striker: "Rockhounds"
:::*Slipstream: "Greenjackets"
:::*Soundwave: "Dust Devils"
:::*Wheeljack: "Blueclaws"
}}

:*For the 2020 releases, only one code name is currently known:
{{collist|3|
:::*Shadow Bumblebee: "Alpha Strike"
}}

:*The "Optimus Prime Battle Base Trailer" set didn't fall under either of those themes; instead, it used the code name "Radar" for toys of Optimus Prime's [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action film series counterpart]] from the ''[[Studio Series]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Bumblebee]]'' lines, with the theme for the code names from ''those'' lines being "Australian race horses".
*Because Hasbro frequently uses the shorthand "TRA" for the brand name in solicitations to stores and on shipping cases, the name of the Ul'''tra''' Class assortment ended up being interpreted as "Ultransformers" in numerous places.
*''Cyberverse'' toys made their global retail debut at Toyworld stores in Australia on [[July 3|3 July]] [[2018]], before arriving at US retail at the end of the same month.
*''Cyberverse'' features a minor but still noteworthy difference compared to previous toy lines that had featured [[subline imprint]]s: In the case of those previous lines, any previously released toys that were re-released under those subline imprints were given new packaging that followed the design template for the subline imprint in question, but retained the original release's UPC (or EAN for European releases) barcode. By contrast, ''Cyberverse'' toys that were re-released in ''Power of the Spark'' packaging were all given new UPC (or EAN) barcodes. This even applied to the assortments themselves, which were also assigned new assortment UPC (or EAN) barcodes.

Dead End (Cyberverse)

:''Dead End is a [[Decepticon]] from the [[Transformers: Cyberverse (franchise)|Cyberverse]] [[continuity family]].''
[[File:Dead_End-Cyberverse-Hasbro-art.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|]]

Pessimistic by nature, '''Dead End''' rarely participates in the merrymaking of his fellow [[Decepticon]]s. This self-serving scout will avoid any altercation if he can get away with it, kept in line only by his loyalty to [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]].

An effective enforcer when given orders, Dead End has recently caught the eye of his tyrannical leader. Not that he's any better off for it; his new position serving alongside big bully [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]] might just be his worst gig yet.

[[File:Battle for Cybertron 2 - Dead End robot mode.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Sideswipe [[Sideswipe (SG)|once again]] reveals his true identity as a Decepticon traitor.]]
{{voiceactor|[[Xavier Paul]] (English)|[[Gabriele Calindri]] (Italian), [[Paul Matzke]] (German)}}
During the ''[[Nemesis (Cyberverse)|Nemesis]]'' crew's search for the [[AllSpark|Allspark]], Dead End was among the Decepticons who stayed on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to fight off [[Autobot]] forces. During the climatic battle against the Autobots after surviving the destruction of the ''[[Ark (Cyberverse)|Ark]]'', Dead End knocked some Autobot soldiers about. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron II}}

After the [[Great War (Cyberverse)|Great War]] ended in the Autobots' favor, Dead End was among the Transformers captured by the [[Quintesson]]s, who outfitted them with control helmets that placed them in a simulation loop where they took part in a parade with varying differences each time. Dead End grew suspicious of his circumstances after [[Clobber (Cyberverse)|Clobber]] mysteriously vanished and, after failing to convince [[Lockdown (Cyberverse)|Lockdown]], transformed to break out of the simulation. After following Clobber and [[Hot Rod (Cyberverse)|Hot Rod]], he attacked the latter, suspecting that the Autobots were behind the hostile takeover. Their brief scuffle brought the attention of some nearby [[Prosecutor (Cyberverse)|Prosecutor]]s, forcing the group to relocate to [[Maccadam's Old Oil House|Maccadam's]]. {{storylink|The Dead End}}

After several failed attempts to awaken Iaconus, it was determined that a [[cityspeaker]] was required, the group mounting a rescue mission to retrieve [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]]. Dead End and Clobber got separated from the others and stumbled across a barely-functional [[Soundwave (Cyberverse)|Soundwave]], who had been improperly freed by Whirl. Taking Soundwave back to Maccadam's, Dead End wanted Soundwave to be abandoned but was objected by Soundwave himself. {{storylink|The Trial}} Dead End accompanied Soundwave in his attack on [[Biter|a Bailiff]], noticing that Clobber attempting to assassinate Hot Rod would attract unwanted attention. After the prisoner was captured, Dead End accompanied the group down to the holding cell in time for Bailiff to reveal that the [[Scientist (Cyberverse)|Scientist]] was the primary target. {{storylink|The Prisoner}}

Infiltrating the Scientist's compound, the group came upon an impregnable door which Soundwave opened long enough only for him and Hot Rod to pass through. Left on the other side, Dead End commented that Hot Rod and Soundwave can take care of themselves. The group tried futilely to blast the door down before [[Laserbeak (Cyberverse)|Laserbeak]] arrived with the Loop's source code. Running back to control node, the group shut down the parade. {{storylink|The Scientist}}

Dead End grew annoyed with how the Cybertronians' attempts at combatting the Quintesson threat were going and convinced [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]] to seek power in other universes. Dead End was among the Transformers who infiltrated the Quintessons' command tower and battled copies of the Scientist. Dead End opened fire on [[Wheeljack (Cyberverse)|Wheeljack]] before he followed Megatron into a ship containing the Quintessons' [[multiverse drive]] and left the universe for places unknown. {{storylink|The Judge (episode)|The Judge}}

Arriving in an alternate timeline where the Decepticons won the Great War, Dead End helped Megatron free several Decepticons from the control of an entity known as "[[Megatron X (Cyberverse)|The Other One]]". Dead End waited with [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]], to whom Dead End took an immediate dislike, while Megatron stole the Other One's [[Matrix of Leadership]]. When Megatron and the [[Insecticon (Cyberverse)|Insecticon]]s returned under heavy fire, Astrotrain opened a portal to another universe and flew them through. {{storylink|Silent Strike}}

Dead End returned to his home dimension aboard Astrotrain in time to battle Judge [[Starscream (Cyberverse)|Starscream]]. When they attempted to seal off the portal to [[Transwarp|unspace]], Astrotrain and Dead End were seized by [[Croaton (Cyberverse)|Croaton]] until [[Windblade (Cyberverse)|Windblade]] removed the [[Quintesson]] influence from the [[Titan (group)|Titan]]'s mind. The day was saved when Megatron and [[Optimus Prime (Cyberverse)|Optimus Prime]] vanquished Judge Starscream using their Matrices and Astrotrain closed the portal. Dead End was later seen disembarking Astrotrain as Megatron met up with Optimus Prime. {{storylink|The End Of The Universe IV}}

When [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] and Whirl infiltrated the Decepticon half of Cybertron in search of a comatose Windblade, Dead End was among the Decepticons who surrounded them. However, Optimus Prime was able to convince Megatron to release the trio, citing an Autobot held captive in Decepticon territory as treason. The Decepticons complied and let Bumblebee and Whirl go. {{storylink|Enemy Line}}

Dead End worked with Astrotrain to create a cannon that weaponized [[Transwarp|unspace]] to use against the Other One. After testing it on [[Jetfire (Cyberverse)|Jetfire]] and finding it to be faulty, they captured both Jetfire and [[Ratchet (Cyberverse)|Ratchet]], intent on using them as test subjects. [[Rack'n'Ruin (Cyberverse)|Rack'n'Ruin]] suddenly burst in and attacked Astrotrain until the randomly-firing unspace cannon hit a door, revealing Soundwave and [[Shadow Striker (Cyberverse)|Shadow Striker]] listening in. Fortunately for Dead End, Astrotrain overpowered Soundwave and Shadow Striker until he was hit by the cannon and sent to unspace. Dead End later witnessed Astrotrain's return and the Autobots' departure. {{storylink|Rack 'n' Ruin 'n' Ratchet}}

Dead End was interrogated by Soundwave and Shadow Striker as to what was up with Megatron's current behavior and fled the pair before running into the Autobots. He caught up with the Autobots just in time for a master race of Decepticons to beam in and surround everyone. {{storylink|Silent Strike}}

The invaders being identified as the Other One's [[Perfect Decepticon]]s, Dead End indirectly inspired Astrotrain to open up a multiverse portal and fly away. Along with the other Decepticons, Dead End held off several Perfect Decepticons. When the Other One eventually arrived, the Decepticons attempted to pledge their loyalty to said entity. However, the alternate Megatron laughed them off, citing the other Decepticons as being "unneeded". Dead End caught up with Optimus Prime and Bumblebee in time to see Astrotrain take the Other One, having been defeated and immobilized by Optimus, off-universe and saw the larger Decepticon's "big plans" as being a terrible punishment for the tyrant. {{storylink|The Other One}}

Pessimistic by nature, '''Dead End''' rarely participates in the merrymaking of his fellow [[Decepticon]]s. This self-serving scout will avoid any altercation if he can get away with it, kept in line only by his loyalty to [[Megatron (Cyberverse)|Megatron]].

An effective enforcer when given orders, Dead End has recently caught the eye of his tyrannical leader. Not that he's any better off for it; his new position serving alongside big bully [[Astrotrain (Cyberverse)|Astrotrain]] might just be his worst gig yet.

During the ''[[Nemesis (Cyberverse)|Nemesis]]'' crew's search for the [[AllSpark|Allspark]], Dead End was among the Decepticons who stayed on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] to fight off [[Autobot]] forces.

Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)

2021-07-09T12:44:31Z

Cardion: /* Warrior Class */

{{disambig2|the 2018 toyline based on the animated series|the 2011 cross-series toy gimmick system|Cyberverse (toyline)}}
{{nav-cyberverse}}
{{cleanup|June 2021| no TakaraTomy releases.}}
[[File:Cyberverse overview small.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|Who said that [[scale]] was a thing?]]
The '''''Transformers: Cyberverse''''' toyline continues the trend set by ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' of targeting the young demographic lying between the preschool and preteen audiences. The line focuses on "G1 inspired design" and new play patterns while featuring a diverse cast of legacy characters.

Announced in time for New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], ''Cyberverse'' brought with it the line-wide "Action Attack" [[gimmick]], with figures from most assortments including a unique "attacking" play feature. The line also reintroduces a line-wide [[size class]] naming system, following ''Robots in Disguise''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s erratic mix of designations, with the one exception being the returning 1-Step Changers. While Warrior Class remains similar to its ''Robots in Disguise'' counterpart, the new Scout, Ultra, and Ultimate Classes bear little correlation to previous assortments.

Starting in [[2019]], the toyline entered its first [[subline imprint]], '''''Power of the Spark''''', reflecting the second chapter of the television show. While 2018's "Action Attack" size classes and their unique gimmicks continued under this, the new "Spark Armor" play pattern added more size classes, involving accessory vehicles that could split apart into interchangeable armor. As of late 2019 official product reveals for ''Cyberverse'' almost entirely ceased, leaving fans unaware of new releases until they were found in stores or on online listings. Hasbro representatives at the time cited a lack of interest in the line from collectors as the reason for this. The developing COVID-19 pandemic probably didn't help this situation either as physical conventions where new toys would be spotted on display also came to a halt. This led to a great many surprises for fans as relatively obscure characters set to appear in the cartoon's third chapter were suddenly receiving new toys on shelves months before their on-screen debuts.

For [[2020]] the line was retitled as '''''Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures''''' (initially a subline imprint marked on a few figures as ''''''Battle for Cybertron'''''') though no reason was ever given for the rebranding. This assortment revamped Ultra and Ultimate Class figures, which now featured flip-up "Energon Armor" and accompanying weapons. Many of the figures for this year were now labeled with a "Cybertronian Mode" to tie-in with the show's story taking place solely on the Transformers' homeworld. This year the line also received the Deluxe Class, a more ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]''-esque subline of figures featuring [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] details and accessories, more complex transformations, and better [[articulation]]. The first wave also included pieces for a [[Maccadam]] build-a-bot figure. If that wasn't enough, 2020 also saw the introduction of the "Battle Call" gimmick, adding even more size classes to the line which featured voice activated electronic features.

After what seemed the end for ''Cyberverse'' after its creators stated that the show's third season was the finale, it did indeed continue into [[2021]] with the '''''Dinobots Unite''''' subline imprint. Now going under the title ''"Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures"'' on all products, this subline introduced the rest of the [[Dinobot (Cyberverse)|Dinobots]] to join [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and focused on combining gimmicks and automatic conversion with the new "Roll and Combine" and "Roll 'n' Transform" assortments. This continuation makes ''Cyberverse'' the longest running cartoon tie-in toyline in recent memory.

==Toys==

{{Note|Continuing the trend set by ''Robots in Disguise'', many Cyberverse toys would see re-releases in later assortments in new packaging. This page lists each figure in the wave and subline it first appeared in.}}

===2018===

====Scout Class====
While a similar size to previous Scout assortments, these figures possess the unique quirk of having only partial transformations, converting into hybrid robot/alt-mode forms in which their Action Attack gimmicks are activated as the final transformation step. Due to their simplicity, some figures' Action Attacks can also be activated in robot mode.

====1-Step Changers====

Initially, ''Robots in Disguise'' molds were reused for the entire first wave but following this all 1-Step Changers are new molds, even if they reuse transformation schemes from older ones. As of wave 3, even they sport Action Attack gimmicks though these are particularly basic.

====Warrior Class====
''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class figures are broadly similar to the ''Robots in Disguise'' assortment of the same name, though with much less focus on articulation. Their Action Attacks are activated in robot mode as the final transformation step, although some figures can also activate it in alternate mode.

Traditional Deluxe Class figures debuted at the same MSRP as the concurrent ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'', aimed at older audiences and featuring similar elements, including 5 mm ports and effect parts. Figures released in Waves 1 - 4 have a piece of [[Maccadam#Toys|Maccadam]] as a Build-A-Figure, while Wave 5 figures lack a Build-A-Figure altogether.

===Tiny Turbo Changers===
''[[Tiny Turbo Changers]]'' is a line of [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] vinyl figures featuring characters from ''Cyberverse''. Despite them ostensibly being blind-bagged, it's possible to tell which figure you're getting thanks to a small clear window and embossed letter code on the reverse of the package.

The first Series barely made it to US retail, showing up at (some) [[Kmart]]s and later some grocery store chains during the holidays in 2019. Series 2 started to pop up in [[Target]]s in July 2020, while Series 3 was available in a few international markets (in some of them as early as late 2019), but has yet to be found in the United States. Series 4 has thus far only been found in Canada.

==''Cyberverse'' (TakaraTomy)==
{{stub}}
===Exclusives===
Deluxe Class figures were released in Japan under the name "'''Action Master'''" (Oh, the irony!). Originally regular releases with the "TCV" ID number, they were moved to being Takara Tomy Mall exclusives with an August 2020 release. The reason for this is unknown, though this is most likely due to poor sales of previous toys or in light of the current COVID-19 outbreak.

==Notes==
*Like with previous lines, Hasbro used character-specific code names for the toys.
:*For the 2018 releases, the theme was "''{{w|Seinfeld}}'' characters":
{{collist|3|
:::*Acid Storm: "Uncle Leo"
:::*Blurr: "Morty"
:::*Bumblebee: "Costanza"
:::*Grimlock: "Puddy"
:::*Megatron: "Newman"
:::*Optimus Prime: "Peterman"
:::*Shadow Striker: "Susie"
:::*Shockwave: "Kramer"
:::*Slipstream: "Estelle"
:::*Soundwave: "Kruger"
:::*Starscream: "Bania"
:::*Windblade: "Elaine"
}}

:*For the 2019 releases, Hasbro abandoned the "Seinfeld" theme in favor of a new "baseball teams" theme:
{{collist|3|
:::*Bumblebee: "Ironbirds"
:::*Hot Rod: "Isotopes"
:::*Megatron: "Quakes"
:::*Optimus Prime: "Woodducks"
:::*Prowl: "Flying Squirrels"
:::*Ratchet: "Aces"
:::*Shadow Striker: "Rockhounds"
:::*Slipstream: "Greenjackets"
:::*Soundwave: "Dust Devils"
:::*Wheeljack: "Blueclaws"
}}

:*For the 2020 releases, only one code name is currently known:
{{collist|3|
:::*Shadow Bumblebee: "Alpha Strike"
}}

:*The "Optimus Prime Battle Base Trailer" set didn't fall under either of those themes; instead, it used the code name "Radar" for toys of Optimus Prime's [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action film series counterpart]] from the ''[[Studio Series]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Bumblebee]]'' lines, with the theme for the code names from ''those'' lines being "Australian race horses".
*Because Hasbro frequently uses the shorthand "TRA" for the brand name in solicitations to stores and on shipping cases, the name of the Ul'''tra''' Class assortment ended up being interpreted as "Ultransformers" in numerous places.
*''Cyberverse'' toys made their global retail debut at Toyworld stores in Australia on [[July 3|3 July]] [[2018]], before arriving at US retail at the end of the same month.
*''Cyberverse'' features a minor but still noteworthy difference compared to previous toy lines that had featured [[subline imprint]]s: In the case of those previous lines, any previously released toys that were re-released under those subline imprints were given new packaging that followed the design template for the subline imprint in question, but retained the original release's UPC (or EAN for European releases) barcode. By contrast, ''Cyberverse'' toys that were re-released in ''Power of the Spark'' packaging were all given new UPC (or EAN) barcodes. This even applied to the assortments themselves, which were also assigned new assortment UPC (or EAN) barcodes.

Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)

{{cleanup|June 2021| no TakaraTomy releases.}}
[[File:Cyberverse overview small.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|Who said that [[scale]] was a thing?]]
The '''''Transformers: Cyberverse''''' toyline continues the trend set by ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' of targeting the young demographic lying between the preschool and preteen audiences. The line focuses on "G1 inspired design" and new play patterns while featuring a diverse cast of legacy characters.

Announced in time for New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], ''Cyberverse'' brought with it the line-wide "Action Attack" [[gimmick]], with figures from most assortments including a unique "attacking" play feature. The line also reintroduces a line-wide [[size class]] naming system, following ''Robots in Disguise''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s erratic mix of designations, with the one exception being the returning 1-Step Changers. While Warrior Class remains similar to its ''Robots in Disguise'' counterpart, the new Scout, Ultra, and Ultimate Classes bear little correlation to previous assortments.

Starting in [[2019]], the toyline entered its first [[subline imprint]], '''''Power of the Spark''''', reflecting the second chapter of the television show. While 2018's "Action Attack" size classes and their unique gimmicks continued under this, the new "Spark Armor" play pattern added more size classes, involving accessory vehicles that could split apart into interchangeable armor. As of late 2019 official product reveals for ''Cyberverse'' almost entirely ceased, leaving fans unaware of new releases until they were found in stores or on online listings. Hasbro representatives at the time cited a lack of interest in the line from collectors as the reason for this. The developing COVID-19 pandemic probably didn't help this situation either as physical conventions where new toys would be spotted on display also came to a halt. This led to a great many surprises for fans as relatively obscure characters set to appear in the cartoon's third chapter were suddenly receiving new toys on shelves months before their on-screen debuts.

For [[2020]] the line was retitled as '''''Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures''''' (initially a subline imprint marked on a few figures as ''''''Battle for Cybertron'''''') though no reason was ever given for the rebranding. This assortment revamped Ultra and Ultimate Class figures, which now featured flip-up "Energon Armor" and accompanying weapons. Many of the figures for this year were now labeled with a "Cybertronian Mode" to tie-in with the show's story taking place solely on the Transformers' homeworld. This year the line also received the Deluxe Class, a more ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]''-esque subline of figures featuring [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] details and accessories, more complex transformations, and better [[articulation]]. The first wave also included pieces for a [[Maccadam]] build-a-bot figure. If that wasn't enough, 2020 also saw the introduction of the "Battle Call" gimmick, adding even more size classes to the line which featured voice activated electronic features.

After what seemed the end for ''Cyberverse'' after its creators stated that the show's third season was the finale, it did indeed continue into [[2021]] with the '''''Dinobots Unite''''' subline imprint. Now going under the title ''"Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures"'' on all products, this subline introduced the rest of the [[Dinobot (Cyberverse)|Dinobots]] to join [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and focused on combining gimmicks and automatic conversion with the new "Roll and Combine" and "Roll 'n' Transform" assortments. This continuation makes ''Cyberverse'' the longest running cartoon tie-in toyline in recent memory.

{{Note|Continuing the trend set by ''Robots in Disguise'', many Cyberverse toys would see re-releases in later assortments in new packaging. This page lists each figure in the wave and subline it first appeared in.}}

===2018===

====Scout Class====
While a similar size to previous Scout assortments, these figures possess the unique quirk of having only partial transformations, converting into hybrid robot/alt-mode forms in which their Action Attack gimmicks are activated as the final transformation step. Due to their simplicity, some figures' Action Attacks can also be activated in robot mode.

====1-Step Changers====

Initially, ''Robots in Disguise'' molds were reused for the entire first wave but following this all 1-Step Changers are new molds, even if they reuse transformation schemes from older ones. As of wave 3, even they sport Action Attack gimmicks though these are particularly basic.

====Warrior Class====
''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class figures are broadly similar to the ''Robots in Disguise'' assortment of the same name, though with much less focus on articulation. Their Action Attacks are activated in robot mode as the final transformation step, although some figures can also activate it in alternate mode.

====Ultra Class====
Similar to the previous 3-Step Changers, Ultra Class figures are roughly Voyager sized with much more involved Action Attacks that generally deploy in their alternate mode.

In the United States, the Optimus Prime playset was instead available as a Walmart exclusive, while Thundercracker didn't show up until 2019, at the chains Go!

====Deluxe Class====
Traditional Deluxe Class figures debuted at the same MSRP as the concurrent ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'', aimed at older audiences and featuring similar elements, including 5 mm ports and effect parts. Figures released in Waves 1 - 4 have a piece of [[Maccadam#Toys|Maccadam]] as a Build-A-Figure, while Wave 5 figures lack a Build-A-Figure altogether.

===Tiny Turbo Changers===
''[[Tiny Turbo Changers]]'' is a line of [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] vinyl figures featuring characters from ''Cyberverse''. Despite them ostensibly being blind-bagged, it's possible to tell which figure you're getting thanks to a small clear window and embossed letter code on the reverse of the package.

The first Series barely made it to US retail, showing up at (some) [[Kmart]]s and later some grocery store chains during the holidays in 2019. Series 2 started to pop up in [[Target]]s in July 2020, while Series 3 was available in a few international markets (in some of them as early as late 2019), but has yet to be found in the United States. Series 4 has thus far only been found in Canada.

==''Cyberverse'' (TakaraTomy)==
{{stub}}
===Exclusives===
Deluxe Class figures were released in Japan under the name "'''Action Master'''" (Oh, the irony!). Originally regular releases with the "TCV" ID number, they were moved to being Takara Tomy Mall exclusives with an August 2020 release. The reason for this is unknown, though this is most likely due to poor sales of previous toys or in light of the current COVID-19 outbreak.

==Notes==
*Like with previous lines, Hasbro used character-specific code names for the toys.
:*For the 2018 releases, the theme was "''{{w|Seinfeld}}'' characters":
{{collist|3|
:::*Acid Storm: "Uncle Leo"
:::*Blurr: "Morty"
:::*Bumblebee: "Costanza"
:::*Grimlock: "Puddy"
:::*Megatron: "Newman"
:::*Optimus Prime: "Peterman"
:::*Shadow Striker: "Susie"
:::*Shockwave: "Kramer"
:::*Slipstream: "Estelle"
:::*Soundwave: "Kruger"
:::*Starscream: "Bania"
:::*Windblade: "Elaine"
}}

:*For the 2019 releases, Hasbro abandoned the "Seinfeld" theme in favor of a new "baseball teams" theme:
{{collist|3|
:::*Bumblebee: "Ironbirds"
:::*Hot Rod: "Isotopes"
:::*Megatron: "Quakes"
:::*Optimus Prime: "Woodducks"
:::*Prowl: "Flying Squirrels"
:::*Ratchet: "Aces"
:::*Shadow Striker: "Rockhounds"
:::*Slipstream: "Greenjackets"
:::*Soundwave: "Dust Devils"
:::*Wheeljack: "Blueclaws"
}}

:*For the 2020 releases, only one code name is currently known:
{{collist|3|
:::*Shadow Bumblebee: "Alpha Strike"
}}

:*The "Optimus Prime Battle Base Trailer" set didn't fall under either of those themes; instead, it used the code name "Radar" for toys of Optimus Prime's [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action film series counterpart]] from the ''[[Studio Series]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Bumblebee]]'' lines, with the theme for the code names from ''those'' lines being "Australian race horses".
*Because Hasbro frequently uses the shorthand "TRA" for the brand name in solicitations to stores and on shipping cases, the name of the Ul'''tra''' Class assortment ended up being interpreted as "Ultransformers" in numerous places.
*''Cyberverse'' toys made their global retail debut at Toyworld stores in Australia on [[July 3|3 July]] [[2018]], before arriving at US retail at the end of the same month.
*''Cyberverse'' features a minor but still noteworthy difference compared to previous toy lines that had featured [[subline imprint]]s: In the case of those previous lines, any previously released toys that were re-released under those subline imprints were given new packaging that followed the design template for the subline imprint in question, but retained the original release's UPC (or EAN for European releases) barcode. By contrast, ''Cyberverse'' toys that were re-released in ''Power of the Spark'' packaging were all given new UPC (or EAN) barcodes. This even applied to the assortments themselves, which were also assigned new assortment UPC (or EAN) barcodes.

{{cleanup|June 2021| no TakaraTomy releases.}}
[[File:Cyberverse overview small.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|Who said that [[scale]] was a thing?]]
The '''''Transformers: Cyberverse''''' toyline continues the trend set by ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' of targeting the young demographic lying between the preschool and preteen audiences. The line focuses on "G1 inspired design" and new play patterns while featuring a diverse cast of legacy characters.

Announced in time for New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], ''Cyberverse'' brought with it the line-wide "Action Attack" [[gimmick]], with figures from most assortments including a unique "attacking" play feature. The line also reintroduces a line-wide [[size class]] naming system, following ''Robots in Disguise''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s erratic mix of designations, with the one exception being the returning 1-Step Changers. While Warrior Class remains similar to its ''Robots in Disguise'' counterpart, the new Scout, Ultra, and Ultimate Classes bear little correlation to previous assortments.

Starting in [[2019]], the toyline entered its first [[subline imprint]], '''''Power of the Spark''''', reflecting the second chapter of the television show. While 2018's "Action Attack" size classes and their unique gimmicks continued under this, the new "Spark Armor" play pattern added more size classes, involving accessory vehicles that could split apart into interchangeable armor. As of late 2019 official product reveals for ''Cyberverse'' almost entirely ceased, leaving fans unaware of new releases until they were found in stores or on online listings. Hasbro representatives at the time cited a lack of interest in the line from collectors as the reason for this. The developing COVID-19 pandemic probably didn't help this situation either as physical conventions where new toys would be spotted on display also came to a halt. This led to a great many surprises for fans as relatively obscure characters set to appear in the cartoon's third chapter were suddenly receiving new toys on shelves months before their on-screen debuts.

For [[2020]] the line was retitled as '''''Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures''''' (initially a subline imprint marked on a few figures as ''''''Battle for Cybertron'''''') though no reason was ever given for the rebranding. This assortment revamped Ultra and Ultimate Class figures, which now featured flip-up "Energon Armor" and accompanying weapons. Many of the figures for this year were now labeled with a "Cybertronian Mode" to tie-in with the show's story taking place solely on the Transformers' homeworld. This year the line also received the Deluxe Class, a more ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]''-esque subline of figures featuring [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] details and accessories, more complex transformations, and better [[articulation]]. The first wave also included pieces for a [[Maccadam]] build-a-bot figure. If that wasn't enough, 2020 also saw the introduction of the "Battle Call" gimmick, adding even more size classes to the line which featured voice activated electronic features.

After what seemed the end for ''Cyberverse'' after its creators stated that the show's third season was the finale, it did indeed continue into [[2021]] with the '''''Dinobots Unite''''' subline imprint. Now going under the title ''"Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures"'' on all products, this subline introduced the rest of the [[Dinobot (Cyberverse)|Dinobots]] to join [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and focused on combining gimmicks and automatic conversion with the new "Roll and Combine" and "Roll 'n' Transform" assortments. This continuation makes ''Cyberverse'' the longest running cartoon tie-in toyline in recent memory.

{{Note|Continuing the trend set by ''Robots in Disguise'', many Cyberverse toys would see re-releases in later assortments in new packaging. This page lists each figure in the wave and subline it first appeared in.}}

===2018===

====Scout Class====
While a similar size to previous Scout assortments, these figures possess the unique quirk of having only partial transformations, converting into hybrid robot/alt-mode forms in which their Action Attack gimmicks are activated as the final transformation step. Due to their simplicity, some figures' Action Attacks can also be activated in robot mode.

====1-Step Changers====

Initially, ''Robots in Disguise'' molds were reused for the entire first wave but following this all 1-Step Changers are new molds, even if they reuse transformation schemes from older ones. As of wave 3, even they sport Action Attack gimmicks though these are particularly basic.

====Warrior Class====
''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class figures are broadly similar to the ''Robots in Disguise'' assortment of the same name, though with much less focus on articulation. Their Action Attacks are activated in robot mode as the final transformation step, although some figures can also activate it in alternate mode.

====Ultra Class====
Similar to the previous 3-Step Changers, Ultra Class figures are roughly Voyager sized with much more involved Action Attacks that generally deploy in their alternate mode.

Traditional Deluxe Class figures debuted at the same MSRP as the concurrent ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'', aimed at older audiences and featuring similar elements, including 5 mm ports and effect parts.

===Tiny Turbo Changers===
''[[Tiny Turbo Changers]]'' is a line of [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] vinyl figures featuring characters from ''Cyberverse''. Despite them ostensibly being blind-bagged, it's possible to tell which figure you're getting thanks to a small clear window and embossed letter code on the reverse of the package.

The first Series barely made it to US retail, showing up at (some) [[Kmart]]s and later some grocery store chains during the holidays in 2019. Series 2 started to pop up in [[Target]]s in July 2020, while Series 3 was available in a few international markets (in some of them as early as late 2019), but has yet to be found in the United States. Series 4 has thus far only been found in Canada.

==''Cyberverse'' (TakaraTomy)==
{{stub}}
===Exclusives===
Deluxe Class figures were released in Japan under the name "'''Action Master'''" (Oh, the irony!). Originally regular releases with the "TCV" ID number, they were moved to being Takara Tomy Mall exclusives with an August 2020 release. The reason for this is unknown, though this is most likely due to poor sales of previous toys or in light of the current COVID-19 outbreak.

==Notes==
*Like with previous lines, Hasbro used character-specific code names for the toys.
:*For the 2018 releases, the theme was "''{{w|Seinfeld}}'' characters":
{{collist|3|
:::*Acid Storm: "Uncle Leo"
:::*Blurr: "Morty"
:::*Bumblebee: "Costanza"
:::*Grimlock: "Puddy"
:::*Megatron: "Newman"
:::*Optimus Prime: "Peterman"
:::*Shadow Striker: "Susie"
:::*Shockwave: "Kramer"
:::*Slipstream: "Estelle"
:::*Soundwave: "Kruger"
:::*Starscream: "Bania"
:::*Windblade: "Elaine"
}}

:*For the 2019 releases, Hasbro abandoned the "Seinfeld" theme in favor of a new "baseball teams" theme:
{{collist|3|
:::*Bumblebee: "Ironbirds"
:::*Hot Rod: "Isotopes"
:::*Megatron: "Quakes"
:::*Optimus Prime: "Woodducks"
:::*Prowl: "Flying Squirrels"
:::*Ratchet: "Aces"
:::*Shadow Striker: "Rockhounds"
:::*Slipstream: "Greenjackets"
:::*Soundwave: "Dust Devils"
:::*Wheeljack: "Blueclaws"
}}

:*For the 2020 releases, only one code name is currently known:
{{collist|3|
:::*Shadow Bumblebee: "Alpha Strike"
}}

:*The "Optimus Prime Battle Base Trailer" set didn't fall under either of those themes; instead, it used the code name "Radar" for toys of Optimus Prime's [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action film series counterpart]] from the ''[[Studio Series]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Bumblebee]]'' lines, with the theme for the code names from ''those'' lines being "Australian race horses".
*Because Hasbro frequently uses the shorthand "TRA" for the brand name in solicitations to stores and on shipping cases, the name of the Ul'''tra''' Class assortment ended up being interpreted as "Ultransformers" in numerous places.
*''Cyberverse'' toys made their global retail debut at Toyworld stores in Australia on [[July 3|3 July]] [[2018]], before arriving at US retail at the end of the same month.
*''Cyberverse'' features a minor but still noteworthy difference compared to previous toy lines that had featured [[subline imprint]]s: In the case of those previous lines, any previously released toys that were re-released under those subline imprints were given new packaging that followed the design template for the subline imprint in question, but retained the original release's UPC (or EAN for European releases) barcode. By contrast, ''Cyberverse'' toys that were re-released in ''Power of the Spark'' packaging were all given new UPC (or EAN) barcodes. This even applied to the assortments themselves, which were also assigned new assortment UPC (or EAN) barcodes.

{{cleanup|June 2021| no TakaraTomy releases.}}
[[File:Cyberverse overview small.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|Who said that [[scale]] was a thing?]]
The '''''Transformers: Cyberverse''''' toyline continues the trend set by ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' of targeting the young demographic lying between the preschool and preteen audiences. The line focuses on "G1 inspired design" and new play patterns while featuring a diverse cast of legacy characters.

Announced in time for New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], ''Cyberverse'' brought with it the line-wide "Action Attack" [[gimmick]], with figures from most assortments including a unique "attacking" play feature. The line also reintroduces a line-wide [[size class]] naming system, following ''Robots in Disguise''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s erratic mix of designations, with the one exception being the returning 1-Step Changers. While Warrior Class remains similar to its ''Robots in Disguise'' counterpart, the new Scout, Ultra, and Ultimate Classes bear little correlation to previous assortments.

Starting in [[2019]], the toyline entered its first [[subline imprint]], '''''Power of the Spark''''', reflecting the second chapter of the television show. While 2018's "Action Attack" size classes and their unique gimmicks continued under this, the new "Spark Armor" play pattern added more size classes, involving accessory vehicles that could split apart into interchangeable armor. As of late 2019 official product reveals for ''Cyberverse'' almost entirely ceased, leaving fans unaware of new releases until they were found in stores or on online listings. Hasbro representatives at the time cited a lack of interest in the line from collectors as the reason for this. The developing COVID-19 pandemic probably didn't help this situation either as physical conventions where new toys would be spotted on display also came to a halt. This led to a great many surprises for fans as relatively obscure characters set to appear in the cartoon's third chapter were suddenly receiving new toys on shelves months before their on-screen debuts.

For [[2020]] the line was retitled as '''''Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures''''' (initially a subline imprint marked on a few figures as ''''''Battle for Cybertron'''''') though no reason was ever given for the rebranding. This assortment revamped Ultra and Ultimate Class figures, which now featured flip-up "Energon Armor" and accompanying weapons. Many of the figures for this year were now labeled with a "Cybertronian Mode" to tie-in with the show's story taking place solely on the Transformers' homeworld. This year the line also received the Deluxe Class, a more ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]''-esque subline of figures featuring [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] details and accessories, more complex transformations, and better [[articulation]]. The first wave also included pieces for a [[Maccadam]] build-a-bot figure. If that wasn't enough, 2020 also saw the introduction of the "Battle Call" gimmick, adding even more size classes to the line which featured voice activated electronic features.

After what seemed the end for ''Cyberverse'' after its creators stated that the show's third season was the finale, it did indeed continue into [[2021]] with the '''''Dinobots Unite''''' subline imprint. Now going under the title ''"Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures"'' on all products, this subline introduced the rest of the [[Dinobot (Cyberverse)|Dinobots]] to join [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and focused on combining gimmicks and automatic conversion with the new "Roll and Combine" and "Roll 'n' Transform" assortments. This continuation makes ''Cyberverse'' the longest running cartoon tie-in toyline in recent memory.

{{Note|Continuing the trend set by ''Robots in Disguise'', many Cyberverse toys would see re-releases in later assortments in new packaging. This page lists each figure in the wave and subline it first appeared in.}}

===2018===

====Scout Class====
While a similar size to previous Scout assortments, these figures possess the unique quirk of having only partial transformations, converting into hybrid robot/alt-mode forms in which their Action Attack gimmicks are activated as the final transformation step. Due to their simplicity, some figures' Action Attacks can also be activated in robot mode.

====1-Step Changers====

Initially, ''Robots in Disguise'' molds were reused for the entire first wave but following this all 1-Step Changers are new molds, even if they reuse transformation schemes from older ones. As of wave 3, even they sport Action Attack gimmicks though these are particularly basic.

====Warrior Class====
''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class figures are broadly similar to the ''Robots in Disguise'' assortment of the same name, though with much less focus on articulation. Their Action Attacks are activated in robot mode as the final transformation step, although some figures can also activate it in alternate mode.

====Ultra Class====
Similar to the previous 3-Step Changers, Ultra Class figures are roughly Voyager sized with much more involved Action Attacks that generally deploy in their alternate mode.

In the United States, the Optimus Prime playset was instead available as a Walmart exclusive, while Thundercracker didn't show up until 2019, at the chains Go!

Traditional Deluxe Class figures debuted at the same MSRP as the concurrent ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'', aimed at older audiences and featuring similar elements, including 5 mm ports and effect parts. Figures released in Waves 1 - 4 have a piece of [[Maccadam#Toys|Maccadam]] as a Build-A-Figure, while Wave 5 figures lack a Build-A-Figure altogether.

===Tiny Turbo Changers===
''[[Tiny Turbo Changers]]'' is a line of [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] vinyl figures featuring characters from ''Cyberverse''. Despite them ostensibly being blind-bagged, it's possible to tell which figure you're getting thanks to a small clear window and embossed letter code on the reverse of the package.

The first Series barely made it to US retail, showing up at (some) [[Kmart]]s and later some grocery store chains during the holidays in 2019. Series 2 started to pop up in [[Target]]s in July 2020, while Series 3 was available in a few international markets (in some of them as early as late 2019), but has yet to be found in the United States. Series 4 has thus far only been found in Canada.

==''Cyberverse'' (TakaraTomy)==
{{stub}}
===Exclusives===
Deluxe Class figures were released in Japan under the name "'''Action Master'''" (Oh, the irony!). Originally regular releases with the "TCV" ID number, they were moved to being Takara Tomy Mall exclusives with an August 2020 release. The reason for this is unknown, though this is most likely due to poor sales of previous toys or in light of the current COVID-19 outbreak.

==Notes==
*Like with previous lines, Hasbro used character-specific code names for the toys.
:*For the 2018 releases, the theme was "''{{w|Seinfeld}}'' characters":
{{collist|3|
:::*Acid Storm: "Uncle Leo"
:::*Blurr: "Morty"
:::*Bumblebee: "Costanza"
:::*Grimlock: "Puddy"
:::*Megatron: "Newman"
:::*Optimus Prime: "Peterman"
:::*Shadow Striker: "Susie"
:::*Shockwave: "Kramer"
:::*Slipstream: "Estelle"
:::*Soundwave: "Kruger"
:::*Starscream: "Bania"
:::*Windblade: "Elaine"
}}

:*For the 2019 releases, Hasbro abandoned the "Seinfeld" theme in favor of a new "baseball teams" theme:
{{collist|3|
:::*Bumblebee: "Ironbirds"
:::*Hot Rod: "Isotopes"
:::*Megatron: "Quakes"
:::*Optimus Prime: "Woodducks"
:::*Prowl: "Flying Squirrels"
:::*Ratchet: "Aces"
:::*Shadow Striker: "Rockhounds"
:::*Slipstream: "Greenjackets"
:::*Soundwave: "Dust Devils"
:::*Wheeljack: "Blueclaws"
}}

:*For the 2020 releases, only one code name is currently known:
{{collist|3|
:::*Shadow Bumblebee: "Alpha Strike"
}}

:*The "Optimus Prime Battle Base Trailer" set didn't fall under either of those themes; instead, it used the code name "Radar" for toys of Optimus Prime's [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action film series counterpart]] from the ''[[Studio Series]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Bumblebee]]'' lines, with the theme for the code names from ''those'' lines being "Australian race horses".
*Because Hasbro frequently uses the shorthand "TRA" for the brand name in solicitations to stores and on shipping cases, the name of the Ul'''tra''' Class assortment ended up being interpreted as "Ultransformers" in numerous places.
*''Cyberverse'' toys made their global retail debut at Toyworld stores in Australia on [[July 3|3 July]] [[2018]], before arriving at US retail at the end of the same month.
*''Cyberverse'' features a minor but still noteworthy difference compared to previous toy lines that had featured [[subline imprint]]s: In the case of those previous lines, any previously released toys that were re-released under those subline imprints were given new packaging that followed the design template for the subline imprint in question, but retained the original release's UPC (or EAN for European releases) barcode. By contrast, ''Cyberverse'' toys that were re-released in ''Power of the Spark'' packaging were all given new UPC (or EAN) barcodes. This even applied to the assortments themselves, which were also assigned new assortment UPC (or EAN) barcodes.

Transformers: Cyberverse (toyline)

2021-07-09T06:57:48Z

Cardion: /* 2021 Dinobots Unite */

{{disambig2|the 2018 toyline based on the animated series|the 2011 cross-series toy gimmick system|Cyberverse (toyline)}}
{{nav-cyberverse}}
{{cleanup|June 2021| no TakaraTomy releases.}}
[[File:Cyberverse overview small.jpg|thumb|upright=1.6|Who said that [[scale]] was a thing?]]
The '''''Transformers: Cyberverse''''' toyline continues the trend set by ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' of targeting the young demographic lying between the preschool and preteen audiences. The line focuses on "G1 inspired design" and new play patterns while featuring a diverse cast of legacy characters.

Announced in time for New York [[Toy Fair 2018]], ''Cyberverse'' brought with it the line-wide "Action Attack" [[gimmick]], with figures from most assortments including a unique "attacking" play feature. The line also reintroduces a line-wide [[size class]] naming system, following ''Robots in Disguise''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s erratic mix of designations, with the one exception being the returning 1-Step Changers. While Warrior Class remains similar to its ''Robots in Disguise'' counterpart, the new Scout, Ultra, and Ultimate Classes bear little correlation to previous assortments.

Starting in [[2019]], the toyline entered its first [[subline imprint]], '''''Power of the Spark''''', reflecting the second chapter of the television show. While 2018's "Action Attack" size classes and their unique gimmicks continued under this, the new "Spark Armor" play pattern added more size classes, involving accessory vehicles that could split apart into interchangeable armor. As of late 2019 official product reveals for ''Cyberverse'' almost entirely ceased, leaving fans unaware of new releases until they were found in stores or on online listings. Hasbro representatives at the time cited a lack of interest in the line from collectors as the reason for this. The developing COVID-19 pandemic probably didn't help this situation either as physical conventions where new toys would be spotted on display also came to a halt. This led to a great many surprises for fans as relatively obscure characters set to appear in the cartoon's third chapter were suddenly receiving new toys on shelves months before their on-screen debuts.

For [[2020]] the line was retitled as '''''Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures''''' (initially a subline imprint marked on a few figures as ''''''Battle for Cybertron'''''') though no reason was ever given for the rebranding. This assortment revamped Ultra and Ultimate Class figures, which now featured flip-up "Energon Armor" and accompanying weapons. Many of the figures for this year were now labeled with a "Cybertronian Mode" to tie-in with the show's story taking place solely on the Transformers' homeworld. This year the line also received the Deluxe Class, a more ''[[Transformers: Generations (toyline)|Generations]]''-esque subline of figures featuring [[Show-accuracy|show-accurate]] details and accessories, more complex transformations, and better [[articulation]]. The first wave also included pieces for a [[Maccadam]] build-a-bot figure. If that wasn't enough, 2020 also saw the introduction of the "Battle Call" gimmick, adding even more size classes to the line which featured voice activated electronic features.

After what seemed the end for ''Cyberverse'' after its creators stated that the show's third season was the finale, it did indeed continue into [[2021]] with the '''''Dinobots Unite''''' subline imprint. Now going under the title ''"Bumblebee Cyberverse Adventures"'' on all products, this subline introduced the rest of the [[Dinobot (Cyberverse)|Dinobots]] to join [[Grimlock (Cyberverse)|Grimlock]] and focused on combining gimmicks and automatic conversion with the new "Roll and Combine" and "Roll 'n' Transform" assortments. This continuation makes ''Cyberverse'' the longest running cartoon tie-in toyline in recent memory.

{{Note|Continuing the trend set by ''Robots in Disguise'', many Cyberverse toys would see re-releases in later assortments in new packaging. This page lists each figure in the wave and subline it first appeared in.}}

===2018===

====Scout Class====
While a similar size to previous Scout assortments, these figures possess the unique quirk of having only partial transformations, converting into hybrid robot/alt-mode forms in which their Action Attack gimmicks are activated as the final transformation step. Due to their simplicity, some figures' Action Attacks can also be activated in robot mode.

====1-Step Changers====

Initially, ''Robots in Disguise'' molds were reused for the entire first wave but following this all 1-Step Changers are new molds, even if they reuse transformation schemes from older ones. As of wave 3, even they sport Action Attack gimmicks though these are particularly basic.

====Warrior Class====
''Cyberverse'' Warrior Class figures are broadly similar to the ''Robots in Disguise'' assortment of the same name, though with much less focus on articulation. Their Action Attacks are activated in robot mode as the final transformation step, although some figures can also activate it in alternate mode.

====Ultra Class====
Similar to the previous 3-Step Changers, Ultra Class figures are roughly Voyager sized with much more involved Action Attacks that generally deploy in their alternate mode.

{{Note|Both Thundercracker and the Optimus Prime Battle Base Set were originally intended as Toys"R"Us exclusives, but due to the company's bankruptcy in the United States and several other countries in 2018, they were only released that way in markets that still ''have'' Toys"R"Us (which basically means Asia and Canada). In the United States, the Optimus Prime playset was instead available as a Walmart exclusive, while Thundercracker didn't show up until 2019, at the chains Go! Calendars, Tuesday Morning, and Ollie's.}}

Traditional Deluxe Class figures debuted at the same MSRP as the concurrent ''[[War for Cybertron Trilogy (franchise)|War for Cybertron Trilogy]]'', aimed at older audiences and featuring similar elements, including 5 mm ports and effect parts. Figures released in Waves 1 - 4 have a piece of [[Maccadam#Toys|Maccadam]] as a Build-A-Figure, while Wave 5 figures lack a Build-A-Figure altogether.

===Tiny Turbo Changers===
''[[Tiny Turbo Changers]]'' is a line of [[blindpacking|blind-bagged]] vinyl figures featuring characters from ''Cyberverse''. Despite them ostensibly being blind-bagged, it's possible to tell which figure you're getting thanks to a small clear window and embossed letter code on the reverse of the package.

The first Series barely made it to US retail, showing up at (some) [[Kmart]]s and later some grocery store chains during the holidays in 2019. Series 2 started to pop up in [[Target]]s in July 2020, while Series 3 was available in a few international markets (in some of them as early as late 2019), but has yet to be found in the United States. Series 4 has thus far only been found in Canada.

==''Cyberverse'' (TakaraTomy)==
{{stub}}
===Exclusives===
Deluxe Class figures were released in Japan under the name "'''Action Master'''" (Oh, the irony!). Originally regular releases with the "TCV" ID number, they were moved to being Takara Tomy Mall exclusives with an August 2020 release. The reason for this is unknown, though this is most likely due to poor sales of previous toys or in light of the current COVID-19 outbreak.

:*For the 2019 releases, Hasbro abandoned the "Seinfeld" theme in favor of a new "baseball teams" theme:
{{collist|3|
:::*Bumblebee: "Ironbirds"
:::*Hot Rod: "Isotopes"
:::*Megatron: "Quakes"
:::*Optimus Prime: "Woodducks"
:::*Prowl: "Flying Squirrels"
:::*Ratchet: "Aces"
:::*Shadow Striker: "Rockhounds"
:::*Slipstream: "Greenjackets"
:::*Soundwave: "Dust Devils"
:::*Wheeljack: "Blueclaws"
}}

:*For the 2020 releases, only one code name is currently known:
{{collist|3|
:::*Shadow Bumblebee: "Alpha Strike"
}}

:*The "Optimus Prime Battle Base Trailer" set didn't fall under either of those themes; instead, it used the code name "Radar" for toys of Optimus Prime's [[Optimus Prime (Movie)|live-action film series counterpart]] from the ''[[Studio Series]]'' and ''[[Transformers: Bumblebee (toyline)|Bumblebee]]'' lines, with the theme for the code names from ''those'' lines being "Australian race horses".
*Because Hasbro frequently uses the shorthand "TRA" for the brand name in solicitations to stores and on shipping cases, the name of the Ul'''tra''' Class assortment ended up being interpreted as "Ultransformers" in numerous places.
*''Cyberverse'' toys made their global retail debut at Toyworld stores in Australia on [[July 3|3 July]] [[2018]], before arriving at US retail at the end of the same month.
*''Cyberverse'' features a minor but still noteworthy difference compared to previous toy lines that had featured [[subline imprint]]s: In the case of those previous lines, any previously released toys that were re-released under those subline imprints were given new packaging that followed the design template for the subline imprint in question, but retained the original release's UPC (or EAN for European releases) barcode. By contrast, ''Cyberverse'' toys that were re-released in ''Power of the Spark'' packaging were all given new UPC (or EAN) barcodes. This even applied to the assortments themselves, which were also assigned new assortment UPC (or EAN) barcodes.
