Located in the city of [[Iacon (polity)|Iacon]], the '''Pyramid''' is an integral part of life on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]—it is the building where new [[Transformer]]s are [[Reproduction|forged]] and released into Cybertronian society. The forging of a new Transformer is a momentous occasion, marked by great open-air celebrations to commemorate this creation of new life.

The Pyramid had been in use for many years; new Transformers would be forged from [[spark]]s harvested from the [[Well of All Sparks]] and subsequently released into Iacon when they were ready—traditionally, these newborn Cybertronians would emerge from the building, be greeted by the ruling [[Prime (rank)|Prime]], and be assigned to a mentor who would guide them through their early life and help them find a job and [[alternate mode]]. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Four}}

In the years that followed the ascension of [[Nominus Prime]] and the ratification of his [[Nominus Edict]], new forgings became very rare and often took place more than a hundred cycles apart. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Three}} One manner of forgings that Nominus took explicit action against was those of [[Titan (group)|Titans]]. Viewing the giants as being too resource expensive to grow to term, as well as encouraging further interstellar expansion, Nominus ordered the staff of the Pyramid to intercept and store any new Titansparks. Under [[Perceptor (G1)|Perceptor]]'s watch, sixteen of these sparks were placed into a vault when they emerged from the [[AllSpark]]. {{storylink|War World: Titans|Titans}} Cybertronians forged during this era include [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]] and [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]]; the latter was a freak accidental forging, his creation unforeseen by the citizens of Iacon. {{storylink|Wannabee, Part 2}}

In the days before the outbreak of the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], [[Rubble]] was forged at the Pyramid and assigned to Bumblebee, marked by the customary festivities; however, with incumbent Prime [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel]] offworld, Rubble was instead greeted by [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Orion Pax]]. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Four}} Some forty days later, it was decided that that Pyramid would forge another Transformer as a way to placate Cybertron's population after [[Brainstorm (G1)|Brainstorm]]'s murder. Both Rubble and Bumblebee attended the ceremony and watched as the newly forged Transformer [[Gauge]] met Orion Pax and was placed in the care of [[Arcee (G1)|Arcee]] and [[Greenlight]]. {{storylink|The World In Your Eyes Part Four}}

The Pyramid was one of the victims of the increasingly powerful quakes that plagued Cybertron, one of them rupturing the plasma drawtubes with only a magnetic field preserving the structure. Following [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]]'s takeover of Iacon, the newly minted Optimus Prime visited the Pyramid where he learnt of the Titansparks. Concurrently, Megatron, having been informed of the sparks by [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]], sent a force to claim them. The firepower unleashed damaged the machines producing the magnetic field, causing the Pyramid to be flooded with molten plasma. {{storylink|War World: Titans|Titans}}
