	The '''Grand Architect''' is a mysterious being with a shadowy goal. Active in the galaxy for centuries, he uses the [[insignia]] of one of the five clans of the [[Knights of Cybertron]] as his own, but the extent of his connection to them is unknown.

	The Grand Architect had been conducting experiments across the galaxy for centuries, the end goal of which appeared to be the creation of the ultimate form of Cybertronian life. To accomplish this, he employed numerous [[blacksmith]]s to procure [[Living metal\|sentio metallico]], with various other agents maintaining hidden facilities on different planets where the new lifeforms built from this material were grown in pods. His true identity was apparently unknown to most of his agents, but he used the gear-like symbol belonging to one of the five clans of the [[Knights of Cybertron]] as his personal [[insignia]], which his closest troops wore on their bodies. {{storylink\|Animals}} These troops were just as mysterious as the Architect himself; they were all unfamiliar to modern Cybertronians, their names unrevealed. {{storylink\|Chasing the Infinite}} Though by all appearances unaffiliated with the faction, the Architect's men used [[Decepticon]] [[Worldsweeper]] ships to move around, despite their slow speed, and among those in the know, the ships became synonymous with his forces in the present day. {{storylink\|Animals}} {{storylink\|An Axe to Break the Ice}}

	[[File:KillAllCons-GrandArchitectLight.jpg\|left\|250px\|thumb\|Denial is the most predictable of all human responses. But, rest assured, this will be the sixth time we have destroyed it, and we have become exceedingly efficient at it.]]
	Around the [[Earth]] year 2009, the Architect discovered criminal scientists [[Scorponok (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity\|Scorponok]] and [[Flame (Marvel)\|Flame]] floating in space, following their escape from the [[Decepticon Justice Division]]. Declaring that the pair "belonged to him, now," the Architect brought them into his service. {{storylink\|Kill All 'Cons}} The pair assumed high-ranking positions among his followers, helping to organize and co-ordinates his agents. {{storylink\|An Axe to Break the Ice}} {{storylink\|Chasing the Infinite}} Some years later, [[Solomus\|Tyrest]] joined them in service and rank. {{storylink\|Crucible (Part 1): A Dance Before Dying\|A Dance Before Dying}}

	The Grand Architect's experiments met with repeated failure. One facility on the planet [[Corritan]] had to be decommissioned, and while the pods from it were being transported to a new location, they became contaminated and the entire batch had to be abandoned. {{storylink\|Chasing the Infinite}}


	{{storylink\|Rules of Disengagement (issue)\|Rules of Disengagement}} After the death of the Architect's agent [[Demus]], it was decided that the lifeforms growing in the facility ''he'' was tending, on [[Tebris VII]], would simply be aborted, rather than risk the greater delay that a repeated instance of contamination would incur. {{storylink\|Animals}} This proved a wise decision, as the facility on the next-nearest planet to which they would have been moved, [[Fortuna]], was also compromised under unrevealed circumstances. {{storylink\|Chasing the Infinite}}

	Eventually, however, word came from the [[Catharsian]] [[Mengel]], based on the planet [[Troja Major]], that she had successfully used the ancient source of knowledge known as the [[Magnificence]] to bring one of the Architect's lifeforms to term—an "[[Infinite]]," able to transform into ''anything'', and even heal itself back from death. With the successful birthing of one of these mechs, the Architect's plans moved into their final phase, and he gave the order to begin tying up loose ends. While Scorponok and his men were on Troja Major to collect the Infinite, a summons was sent out to all the blacksmiths he had previously employed, calling them to the planet so his troops could execute them. [[Anode]], [[Lug (IDW)\|Lug]], and [[Wipe-Out]] were able to evade his death squads, but could not stop the Architect's forces from acquiring the Infinite. {{storylink\|An Axe to Break the Ice}} {{storylink\|Chasing the Infinite}}

	Around that time, the ''[[Lost Light]]'' arrived at [[Mederi]], running into the Grand Architect's fleet of Worldsweepers. [[Getaway]] struck a deal with the Architect, claiming [[Hot Rod (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity\|Rodimus]] and his ragtag team were coming to stop his plan, and that Getaway would stop them in exchange for a place at the table. In order to prove Getaway wasn't lying and to have a chance of stopping him, the GA had Scorponok turn all of the ''Lost Light'' crew into [[Sparkeater (creature)\|Sparkeaters]]. {{storylink\|Crucible (Part 2): Lūstrāre\|Lūstrāre}}

	Soon enough, [[Benzene Cluster\|Benzene]] was cleared, the pathway sterilized, and the preparations for "The Drilling" began.

	Eventually, however, word came from the [[Catharsian]] [[Mengel]], based on the planet [[Troja Major]], that she had successfully used the ancient source of knowledge known as the [[Magnificence]] to bring one of the Architect's lifeforms to term—an "[[Infinite]]," able to transform into ''anything'', and even heal itself back from death. With the successful birthing of one of these mechs, the Architect's plans moved into their final phase, and he gave the order to begin tying up loose ends. While Scorponok and his men were on Troja Major to collect the Infinite, a summons was sent out to all the blacksmiths he had previously employed, calling them to the planet so his troops could execute them. [[Anode]], [[Lug (IDW)\|Lug]], and [[Wipe-Out]] were able to evade his death squads, but could not stop the Architect's forces from acquiring the Infinite. {{storylink\|An Axe to Break the Ice}} {{storylink\|Chasing the Infinite}}		Eventually, however, word came from the [[Catharsian]] [[Mengel]], based on the planet [[Troja Major]], that she had successfully used the ancient source of knowledge known as the [[Magnificence]] to bring one of the Architect's lifeforms to term—an "[[Infinite]]," able to transform into ''anything'', and even heal itself back from death.
