Fiction

Just close your eyes and think of science, Jetfire.

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 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 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 bought Primus enough time to manifest and destroy his traitorous servant before sealing the Well once more. In the absence of Megatron and 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 put it, "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. Conflagration

The Well of Sparks was created as a result of Solus Prime's death. Consequences Megatronus later made the Well his base of operations, ordering his acolytes Overlord and 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 using the Enigma of Combination. Without Warning When Megatronus finally got his hands on the Blaster, Megatron's team acquired the Well's location from the Athenaeum Sanctorum's database and followed him there through the shifting Labyrinth of Tunnels. 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. Collision Course The heroes ultimately managed to stop the machine, 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 also emerged from the well, his spark having been protected by his connection to the Matrix of Leadership. Saga's End

The Well of All Sparks housed the AllSpark. In the past when protoforms emerged they would brave the terrors of the Underworld to leave, but in the era of the 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 journeyed through it to the core to purge it of Dark Energon. Alpha Trion had the Ark built in the Well, and there it launched into space. Exodus

The Covenant of Primus

"So where do baby Transformers come from?"
"A big hole in the ground."

The Well of All Sparks came into being when 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 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. The Covenant of Primus

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 City and became the site of D-16's transformation into Megatron and Sentinel Prime's death. 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, Soundwave, and Starscream.

After Megatron and the High Guard's retreat, Optimus Prime used the Matrix to restore the flow of Energon from the Well, with cogs flying out from the Well to change the Cogless citizens of Iacon into the newly formed Autobots. Transformers One
