The '''Well of All Sparks''', also known as the '''Well of AllSparks''',<ref>[[Transformers Comic issue 3.1]]</ref> the '''Well of Sparks''',<ref>''Transformers: The Last Knight'' app, the ''[[Transformers: Power of the Primes (cartoon)|Power of the Primes]]'' cartoon, ''[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]'' film, and the [[Energon Universe]]</ref> and the '''Well of the AllSpark''',<ref>''[[Transformers: Cyberverse (cartoon)|Transformers: Cyberverse]]''</ref> is the fount from which [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]'s living god, [[Primus]], birthed the [[Transformer|Cybertronian]] race. Across the [[Multiverse|multiverse]], the Well of All Sparks is sometimes the original home of the [[AllSpark]] before the [[Great War (disambiguation)|Great War]], or the site of significant moments involving the [[Thirteen|Primes]].

The Well of All Sparks is located under the surface of either [[Protihex]] or [[Altihex]].<ref>"[[Conflagration]]" identifies the location above the Well of All Sparks first as Protihex in a narrative box. A few pages later, Prowl says it's Altihex. Given the layout of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] as shown in ''[[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide]]'', Protihex and Altihex are equally likely candidates.</ref> After giving birth to his children, Primus sealed the Well in order to prevent his rival [[Unicron]] from locating the planet and destroying them.

In an effort to draw his master to a weakened Primus, the [[The Fallen|Fallen]] gathered four Cybertronians he described as representing "angles in the geometry of dissolution" and performed a ceremony he referred to as "the [[Unbinding]]", an attempt to open the [[Seal of Primus]], which would cause Primus to awaken and allow Unicron locate Cybertron. This ceremony succeeded, but quick thinking by [[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] bought Primus enough time to manifest and destroy his traitorous servant before sealing the Well once more. In the absence of [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] and [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], the scattered factions of the warring populace agreed to place a lock on the chamber that could only be opened with the consent of all parties involved. Or, as [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] put it, "[['Til all are one|Until all are one]]."

It is unknown if Jetfire remained an atheist even after this event, though he has claimed that the glorious glowing manifestation of his race's deity blinded him, and thus he didn't see a thing. {{storylink|Conflagration}}

====''Prime Wars Trilogy'' cartoons====
The Well of Sparks was created as a result of [[Solus Prime|Solus Prime's]] death. {{storylink|Consequences}} Megatronus later made the Well his base of operations, ordering his acolytes [[Overlord (G1)|Overlord]] and [[Hot Rod (G1)|Rodimus Cron]] to kill as many Transformers as possible so that their sparks might fill the Well in order to resurrect Solus. He also utilized a device designed to fuse the [[Matrix of Leadership]], and the [[Requiem Blaster (Megatronus)|Requiem Blaster]] using the [[Enigma of Combination]]. {{storylink|Without Warning}} When Megatronus finally got his hands on the Blaster, [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s team acquired the Well's location from the [[Athenaeum Sanctorum]]'s database and followed him there through the shifting [[Labyrinth of Tunnels]]. {{storylink|Consequences}} Megatronus reappeared in the Well and activated his doomsday weapon, channeling the siphoned life energy into the Well. Though he was interrupted by the arrival of Megatron's team, Solus began to manifest from the collected energy. Before Megatronus could finish Megatron and the others, Rodimus Cron also arrived at the Well. {{storylink|Collision Course}} The heroes ultimately managed to stop the machine, {{storylink|Megatronus Unleashed}} and Solus pulled Megatronus into the Well, killing him. This led to an explosion of energy from the Well as the accumulated sparks were released across Cybertron and throughout the universe, where they would give birth to a new generation of Transformers. [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] also emerged from the well, his spark having been protected by his connection to the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. {{storylink|Saga's End}}

====2019 IDW continuity====
After being created by the [[AllSpark]], {{storylink|War's End Part Two}} new sparks ascended to Cybertron's surface via the Well of All Sparks. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Three}} To help the sparks form bodies for themselves, the Cybertronians constructed the [[Forge Pyramid]] atop the Well. After a cataclysmic battle at the Pyramid, the building flooded with molten plasma and blocked off the Well of All Sparks. {{storylink|War World: We Are Not Meant To Be Darkness|We Are Not Meant To Be Darkness}}

====Energon Universe====
[[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] intended to place the new spark held within a spark container in the Well of Sparks. [[Elita One (G1)|Elita]] pointed out to Cliffjumper that the Well was now deep in Decepticon territory, but [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]] argued that bringing life to a new Autobot might be good for morale. {{storylink|Transformers (2023) issue 16|Transformers #16}} While Bluestreak led a distraction, Cliffjumper and Elita entered the Well, using the spark fragments and the remains of [[Carly (G1)|Carly]]'s van to give life to [[Shredhead]]. {{storylink|Transformers (2023) issue 17|Transformers #17}}

===Aligned continuity family===
====Aligned novels====
The Well of All Sparks housed the [[AllSpark]]. In the past when [[protoform]]s emerged they would brave the terrors of the [[Underworld]] to leave, but in the era of the [[Functionism|caste system]] there a Cybertronian was taught how to transform, assume their most natural [[alternate mode]] and were put into a Guild. During the [[Autobot]]-[[Decepticon]] war the AllSpark was ejected into space, and the Well remained empty until [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] journeyed through it to the [[core]] to purge it of [[Dark Energon]]. [[Alpha Trion]] had the ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]'' built in the Well, and there it launched into space. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}

====''The Covenant of Primus''====
[[File:COP-WellOfAllSparks.jpg|thumb|upright=1.50|"So where do baby Transformers come from?" "A big hole in the ground."]]
The Well of All Sparks came into being when [[The Fallen|Megatronus]] killed [[Solus Prime]], and her corpse unexpectedly melted its way underground to the core of Primus and Cybertron, becoming the Well of All Sparks. After the climactic battle of the [[War of the Primes]], the mortally wounded [[Onyx Prime]] chose to travel to the Well, where the presence of Primus would sustain him forever. He would use his [[Triptych Mask]] to enable the new race of Cybertronians to have as much diversity as Primus had created the Thirteen with. [[Micronus Prime]] chose to accompany his friend to his eternal retreat, and ''[[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Thirteen]]'' chose to accompany them so that he would be reborn as one of these new Cybertronians so that he would be able to help them by experiencing their lives.

After ''Thirteen'', Micronus, and Onyx vanished into the Well, the power of the Triptych Mask sent forth a universe-spanning beam that scanned and transmitted back information on the universe's life on which new Cybertronians could be modeled. For the next three days, new Cybertronian lifeforms of all shapes and sizes emerged from the Well, marking the beginning of the [[Age of Evolution]]. Thereafter, the Well would occasionally send forth new beings to replace the dead or simply to introduce new life to Cybertron until the planet became a lush, rich world.

During the [[Golden Age]], replicas of the Well were built on many of Cybertron's new colony worlds. These miniature Wells were activated by a "torch"- ignited from the original Well on Cybertron then carried through a [[space bridge]] to the new Well. When activated, the new Wells could produce energon and give birth to new Transformers just like the original Well. The first replica was built on [[Archon]]. The design was mimicked on countless other worlds throughout the galaxy, making them entirely self-sufficient. {{storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus}}

====''Prime'' cartoon====
Following the [[Expulsion of Unicron|defeat of Unicron]], Primus became one with the [[Core]] of Cybertron, and he gave life to future generations of Transformers through the Well of All Sparks. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 1}}

Having gained control of the ''[[Trypticon (WFC)|Nemesis]]'', the Autobots fired the [[Omega Lock]] on its underside directly into the Well of All Sparks, restoring Cybertron. {{storylink|Deadlock (episode)|Deadlock}} Cybertron's revival would re-awaken [[Unicron/Aligned|Unicron]] from across the cosmos, causing the dark god to return to Cybertron. Possessing the body of [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]], Unicron resurrected a swarm of [[Terrorcon (Prime)|Terrorcons]] to descend into the Well, hoping to snuff out Primus permanently. [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] was able to defeat Unicron, causing the horde to disintegrate. Optimus later restored the [[AllSpark]] to its rightful place in the Well, sacrificing himself and the [[Matrix of Leadership]] in the process. {{storylink|Predacons Rising (Prime)|Predacons Rising}}

[[File:Cyberverse - Battle for Cybertron IV - Allspark Chamber.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
A series of naturally occurring tunnels led to the Well of the AllSpark. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}} Officially, the entry point to the Well was the [[Threshold of the Well]]. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}

[[Repugnus (Cyberverse)|Repugnus]] led [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] and [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]] to the Well's backdoor underneath the planet's surface. The duo was led by the [[Monsterbot (Cyberverse)|Monsterbot]] to the Well, with Bumblebee telling Cheetor that he had not set foot in the Well since his birth. Although [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] attacked with his [[Shockwave's drones|drones]], the AllSpark was returned to its rightful place. Shockwave attempted to corrupt the AllSpark with his evil and corrupted spark, but Cheetor sacrificed his life to prevent the mad scientist from dooming Cybertron. The AllSpark renewed Cybertron, allowing new life to emerge from the Well. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}}

===''One'' film===
The Well of Sparks led to the core of Cybertron, where Primus's spark resided. From the Well, Energon flowed in channels across Cybertron. The [[Hall of Primes]] was built on the Well's edge in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] City and became the site of [[Megatron (One)|D-16]]'s transformation into Megatron and [[Sentinel Prime (One)|Sentinel Prime]]'s death. [[Optimus Prime (One)|Orion Pax]] would fall through the void of the Well, being summoned by the sparks of Primus and the Primes. In the deepest part of the Well, it was here that Orion Pax was given the [[Matrix of Leadership]], becoming Optimus Prime. Optimus would return to the top of the Well, engaging in his first battle against Megatron, along with [[High Guard]] members [[Shockwave (One)|Shockwave]], [[Soundwave (One)|Soundwave]], and [[Starscream (One)|Starscream]].

After Megatron and the High Guard's retreat, Optimus Prime used the Matrix to restore the flow of Energon from the Well, with [[transformation cog|cogs]] flying out from the Well to change the [[Cogless]] citizens of Iacon into the newly formed [[Autobot|Autobots]]. {{storylink|Transformers One (film)|Transformers One}}

After a cataclysmic battle at the Pyramid, the building flooded with molten plasma and blocked off the Well of All Sparks. {{storylink|War World: We Are Not Meant To Be Darkness|We Are Not Meant To Be Darkness}}

====Energon Universe====
[[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]] intended to place the new spark held within a spark container in the Well of Sparks. [[Elita One (G1)|Elita]] pointed out to Cliffjumper that the Well was now deep in Decepticon territory, but [[Bluestreak (G1)|Bluestreak]] argued that bringing life to a new Autobot might be good for morale. {{storylink|Transformers (2023) issue 16|Transformers #16}} While Bluestreak led a distraction, Cliffjumper and Elita entered the Well, using the spark fragments and the remains of [[Carly (G1)|Carly]]'s van to give life to [[Shredhead]]. {{storylink|Transformers (2023) issue 17|Transformers #17}}

===Aligned continuity family===
====Aligned novels====
The Well of All Sparks housed the [[AllSpark]]. In the past when [[protoform]]s emerged they would brave the terrors of the [[Underworld]] to leave, but in the era of the [[Functionism|caste system]] there a Cybertronian was taught how to transform, assume their most natural [[alternate mode]] and were put into a Guild. During the [[Autobot]]-[[Decepticon]] war the AllSpark was ejected into space, and the Well remained empty until [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] journeyed through it to the [[core]] to purge it of [[Dark Energon]]. [[Alpha Trion]] had the ''[[Ark (WFC)|Ark]]'' built in the Well, and there it launched into space. {{storylink|Transformers: Exodus|Exodus}}

====''The Covenant of Primus''====
[[File:COP-WellOfAllSparks.jpg|thumb|upright=1.50|"So where do baby Transformers come from?" "A big hole in the ground."]]
The Well of All Sparks came into being when [[The Fallen|Megatronus]] killed [[Solus Prime]], and her corpse unexpectedly melted its way underground to the core of Primus and Cybertron, becoming the Well of All Sparks. After the climactic battle of the [[War of the Primes]], the mortally wounded [[Onyx Prime]] chose to travel to the Well, where the presence of Primus would sustain him forever. He would use his [[Triptych Mask]] to enable the new race of Cybertronians to have as much diversity as Primus had created the Thirteen with. [[Micronus Prime]] chose to accompany his friend to his eternal retreat, and ''[[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Thirteen]]'' chose to accompany them so that he would be reborn as one of these new Cybertronians so that he would be able to help them by experiencing their lives.

After ''Thirteen'', Micronus, and Onyx vanished into the Well, the power of the Triptych Mask sent forth a universe-spanning beam that scanned and transmitted back information on the universe's life on which new Cybertronians could be modeled. For the next three days, new Cybertronian lifeforms of all shapes and sizes emerged from the Well, marking the beginning of the [[Age of Evolution]]. Thereafter, the Well would occasionally send forth new beings to replace the dead or simply to introduce new life to Cybertron until the planet became a lush, rich world.

During the [[Golden Age]], replicas of the Well were built on many of Cybertron's new colony worlds. These miniature Wells were activated by a "torch"- ignited from the original Well on Cybertron then carried through a [[space bridge]] to the new Well. When activated, the new Wells could produce energon and give birth to new Transformers just like the original Well. The first replica was built on [[Archon]]. The design was mimicked on countless other worlds throughout the galaxy, making them entirely self-sufficient. {{storylink|Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus}}

====''Prime'' cartoon====
Following the [[Expulsion of Unicron|defeat of Unicron]], Primus became one with the [[Core]] of Cybertron, and he gave life to future generations of Transformers through the Well of All Sparks. {{storylink|One Shall Rise, Part 1}}

Having gained control of the ''[[Trypticon (WFC)|Nemesis]]'', the Autobots fired the [[Omega Lock]] on its underside directly into the Well of All Sparks, restoring Cybertron. {{storylink|Deadlock (episode)|Deadlock}} Cybertron's revival would re-awaken [[Unicron/Aligned|Unicron]] from across the cosmos, causing the dark god to return to Cybertron. Possessing the body of [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]], Unicron resurrected a swarm of [[Terrorcon (Prime)|Terrorcons]] to descend into the Well, hoping to snuff out Primus permanently. [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] was able to defeat Unicron, causing the horde to disintegrate. Optimus later restored the [[AllSpark]] to its rightful place in the Well, sacrificing himself and the [[Matrix of Leadership]] in the process. {{storylink|Predacons Rising (Prime)|Predacons Rising}}

===''Cyberverse'' cartoon===
[[File:Cyberverse - Battle for Cybertron IV - Allspark Chamber.jpg|thumb|upright=1.66]]
A series of naturally occurring tunnels led to the Well of the AllSpark. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron I}} Officially, the entry point to the Well was the [[Threshold of the Well]]. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron III}}

[[Repugnus (Cyberverse)|Repugnus]] led [[Bumblebee (Cyberverse)|Bumblebee]] and [[Cheetor (Cyberverse)|Cheetor]] to the Well's backdoor underneath the planet's surface. The duo was led by the [[Monsterbot (Cyberverse)|Monsterbot]] to the Well, with Bumblebee telling Cheetor that he had not set foot in the Well since his birth. Although [[Shockwave (Cyberverse)|Shockwave]] attacked with his [[Shockwave's drones|drones]], the AllSpark was returned to its rightful place. Shockwave attempted to corrupt the AllSpark with his evil and corrupted spark, but Cheetor sacrificed his life to prevent the mad scientist from dooming Cybertron. The AllSpark renewed Cybertron, allowing new life to emerge from the Well. {{storylink|Battle For Cybertron IV}}

===''One'' film===
The Well of Sparks led to the core of Cybertron, where Primus's spark resided. From the Well, Energon flowed in channels across Cybertron. The [[Hall of Primes]] was built on the Well's edge in [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]] City and became the site of [[Megatron (One)|D-16]]'s transformation into Megatron and [[Sentinel Prime (One)|Sentinel Prime]]'s death. [[Optimus Prime (One)|Orion Pax]] would fall through the void of the Well, being summoned by the sparks of Primus and the Primes. In the deepest part of the Well, it was here that Orion Pax was given the [[Matrix of Leadership]], becoming Optimus Prime. Optimus would return to the top of the Well, engaging in his first battle against Megatron, along with [[High Guard]] members [[Shockwave (One)|Shockwave]], [[Soundwave (One)|Soundwave]], and [[Starscream (One)|Starscream]].

After Megatron and the High Guard's retreat, Optimus Prime used the Matrix to restore the flow of Energon from the Well, with [[transformation cog|cogs]] flying out from the Well to change the [[Cogless]] citizens of Iacon into the newly formed [[Autobot|Autobots]]. {{storylink|Transformers One (film)|Transformers One}}

===''Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark''===
The [[Patterner]]s or the [[Disciples of the Thirteen]] believed the [[Dark Spark]] to be a corruption ejected from the Well of All Sparks. {{storylink|Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark (console)|Rise of the Dark Spark}}

*''Japanese:'' '''All Spark no Izumi''' (オールスパークの泉 ''Ōru Supāku no Izumi'', "Fountain of All Spark")

== Additional Knowledge ==
* Settlements and agencies had operated in levels of the Well closest to the surface.
