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

Before the Great War, the Forge of Solus Prime was kept in the [[Vaults]] of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], but was hidden on Earth to keep it out of the wrong hands. Millions of years later, its location was decoded by the amnesiac [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]. [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] later sent [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]] and [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] to retrieve it. Breakdown managed to mostly unearth the titanic hammer, but [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] managed to take it before he could, then proceeded use it to wipe the floor with the hapless Decepticon. Megatron's timely arrival via [[GroundBridge]] wrested the Forge from Bulkhead's servos, but upon returning to the ''[[Trypticon (WFC)|Nemesis]]'', the Decepticon leader found that the hammer was nothing but a cudgel unless held by a Prime. Nonetheless, Megatron considered it a victory, if only because the Forge was now far out of the reach of Optimus Prime, who ''could'' use its true power. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 2}}

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

After learning what fate had befallen his brother, Dreadwing took the Forge and presented it back to the Autobots to spite Megatron. Optimus was able to use it to turn the GroundBridge into a fully-fledged SpaceBridge, and to reforge the Star Saber. {{storylink|Regeneration (Prime)|Regeneration}} The Forge was still present in the Autobot base when it was later destroyed by the ''Nemesis''. {{storylink|Darkest Hour (episode)|Darkest Hour}}

The Forge was pulled from the remains of the base by the Decepticons, along with [[Airachnid (Prime)|Airachnid]]. {{storylink|Darkmount, NV}} It was stored aboard the Decepticon warship, and [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]] later retrieved it from there using the [[phase shifter]].

The action resulted in the Forge's power being drained completely, and Smokescreen took it with him when the Autobots rendezvoused at a human military base. {{storylink|Rebellion (Prime)|Rebellion}}

The '''Forge of [[Solus Prime]]''' is the symbol of office of the master-artificer of the [[Thirteen]].

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

Before the Great War, the Forge of Solus Prime was kept in the [[Vaults]] of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], but was hidden on Earth to keep it out of the wrong hands. Millions of years later, its location was decoded by the amnesiac [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]]. [[Megatron (WFC)|Megatron]] later sent [[Breakdown (WFC)|Breakdown]] and [[Knock Out (Prime)|Knock Out]] to retrieve it. Breakdown managed to mostly unearth the titanic hammer, but [[Bulkhead (Prime)|Bulkhead]] managed to take it before he could, then proceeded use it to wipe the floor with the hapless Decepticon. Megatron's timely arrival via [[GroundBridge]] wrested the Forge from Bulkhead's servos, but upon returning to the ''[[Trypticon (WFC)|Nemesis]]'', the Decepticon leader found that the hammer was nothing but a cudgel unless held by a Prime. Nonetheless, Megatron considered it a victory, if only because the Forge was now far out of the reach of Optimus Prime, who ''could'' use its true power. {{storylink|Operation Bumblebee, Part 2}}

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

[[File:ForgeBreak-Evolution.JPG|thumb|left|upright=1.4|Oh yes I CAN touch ''this!'']]
After learning what fate had befallen his brother, Dreadwing took the Forge and presented it back to the Autobots to spite Megatron. Optimus was able to use it to turn the GroundBridge into a fully-fledged SpaceBridge, and to reforge the Star Saber. {{storylink|Regeneration (Prime)|Regeneration}} The Forge was still present in the Autobot base when it was later destroyed by the ''Nemesis''. {{storylink|Darkest Hour (episode)|Darkest Hour}}

The Forge was pulled from the remains of the base by the Decepticons, along with [[Airachnid (Prime)|Airachnid]]. {{storylink|Darkmount, NV}} It was stored aboard the Decepticon warship, and [[Smokescreen (Prime)|Smokescreen]] later retrieved it from there using the [[phase shifter]]. The badly-damaged Optimus refused to use it on himself, believing its remaining power should be conserved to at some point repair the destroyed [[Omega Lock]]. {{storylink|Prey (episode)|Prey}} Smokescreen went against his leader's wishes, placing the Forge into Optimus's hand and restoring Optimus to life with a new body. The action resulted in the Forge's power being drained completely, and Smokescreen took it with him when the Autobots rendezvoused at a human military base. {{storylink|Rebellion (Prime)|Rebellion}}

It was still useful as a weapon, and [[Ultra Magnus (WFC)|Ultra Magnus]] took it with him to [[Scotland]] to investigate Decepticon activity. {{storylink|Project Predacon}} Ultra Magnus put the hammer to good use, pounding Vehicons into walls and even landing a few good hits on [[Predaking (Prime)|Predaking]]. {{storylink|Chain of Command (Prime)|Chain of Command}} Magnus again employed the Forge in battle against Predaking after destroying the Predacon cloning lab. Though he landed a number of blows, Predaking gained the upper hand during the battle. The Predacon managed to take possession of the hammer and shattered its handle. {{storylink|Evolution}}
