			==Things that don't exist?==
			The origin of "signs of affinity" in IDW's fiction is unclear. A 'bot with the signs was considered to be a potential Matrix-bearer, and even noted skeptic [[Ratchet (G1)\|Ratchet]] documented signs of affinity in his patient notes. {{storylink\|Twenty Plus One}} However, the secret history and demystification of Cybertron's past revealed that many relevant cases of "purported signs" were falsehoods. The Matrix was a fake when [[Nominus Prime]], [[Sentinel Prime (G1)\|Sentinel Prime]], and [[Zeta Prime]] apparently used their "signs" to claim the title and office of Prime. {{storylink\|Remain in Light 3 of 5: The Divided Self\|The Divided Self}} The very idea of signs of affinity may have been invented by [[Nova Prime]] when he established his dynasty after the War of the Thirteen Tribes, or by Nominus Prime to end the [[Interregnum]]. Even the true Matrix itself was not the mystical sacred artifact it was immortalized to be. {{storylink\|Crucible (Part 5): The Unremembering\|The Unremembering}}

			In truth, the "signs of affinity" may have been nothing more than a myth co-opted by the power hungry to support their claims of divinity.

			Except that one time it maybe wasn't. {{storylink\|Transformation (issue)\|Transformation}}

	*The basic idea, if not the name, of the Signs of Affinity was first put forth in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)\|original comic]] where a handful of Transformers, most notably [[Thunderwing (G1)\|Thunderwing]], were stated to possess a natural affinity for the Creation Matrix.		* The basic idea, if not the name, of the Signs of Affinity was first put forth in the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)\|original comic]] where a handful of Transformers, most notably [[Thunderwing (G1)\|Thunderwing]], were stated to possess a natural affinity for the Creation Matrix.
