Under Sentinel Prime's guidance, they sought for and rediscovered the AllSpark. Since the AllSpark itself needed a source of energy to become useful once more, Sentinel Prime's group prepared a machine to draw a star into the AllSpark's reach for it to refill itself from.

	As the war dragged on, Sentinel Prime created a small torch-like device that could turn the tide in the Autobots' favor. The one catch was that it needed to be powered by the AllSpark, which had been out of the Autobots' reach ever since the Decepticons had claimed Simfur and made it their most well-guarded stronghold. Still, with nothing to lose, the Autobots infiltrated Simfur, where [[Elita-One (Movie)\|Elita-One]], [[Arcee (Movie)\|Arcee]] and [[Chromia (ROTF)\|Chromia]] were tasked with getting the torch near the AllSpark while the rest would fight off Decepticon opposition. Scanning the temple exterior, Arcee happily noted that the AllSpark still resided in the temple, but Elita-One was suspicious of the fact they had gotten so far without any confrontation whatsoever. At that moment, the temple gate opened, revealing the silhouette of [[Megatron (Movie)\|Megatron]]. Mocking them for their naïveté, {{storylink\|Foundation issue 3\|Foundation #3}} he attacked and called forth his troops that had remained in hiding up until then. This did not change the Autobots' plan at all, and with the necessary backup, Elita-One got the torch to the AllSpark, got it charged and escaped the battlezone with it. Elsewhere, she handed it to Sentinel Prime, who had prepared two ships, [[Ark (DOTM)\|one of which]] held a special cargo. Sentinel Prime flew it to the Simfur Temple to begin the next phase of his plan, but the ship was blown out of the sky above the temple. Seeing their leader and strategy go up in smoke, the Autobots at the Simfur Temple retreated to their base in Tyger Pax.

	Aware that the Autobots couldn't win the war for the time being, Optimus Prime came up with a plan to thwart the Decepticons' victory all the same. Within three solar cycles, {{storylink\|Defiance issue 4\|Defiance #4}} [[Wheeljack (Movie)\|Wheeljack]] guided most of the Autobot forces in a second attack on the Simfur Temple, taking the weakened Decepticon army by surprise, while Optimus and a small team kept the strongest Decepticons distracted. This time, the Autobots did not just grab some of the AllSpark's energy, but the whole cube at once, disconnecting it from the machine that kept the star near Cybertron. As their planet was plunged into darkness once more, the Autobots brought the AllSpark to a safer place. {{storylink\|Foundation issue 4\|Foundation #4}}		Aware that the Autobots couldn't win the war for the time being, Optimus Prime came up with a plan to thwart the Decepticons' victory all the same.

Scanning the temple exterior, Arcee happily noted that the AllSpark still resided in the temple, but Elita-One was suspicious of the fact they had gotten so far without any confrontation whatsoever. At that moment, the temple gate opened, revealing the silhouette of [[Megatron (Movie)\|Megatron]]. Mocking them for their naïveté, {{storylink\|Foundation issue 3\|Foundation #3}} he attacked and called forth his troops that had remained in hiding up until then. This did not change the Autobots' plan at all, and with the necessary backup, Elita-One got the torch to the AllSpark, got it charged and escaped the battlezone with it. Elsewhere, she handed it to Sentinel Prime, who had prepared two ships, [[Ark (DOTM)\|one of which]] held a special cargo. Sentinel Prime flew it to the Simfur Temple to begin the next phase of his plan, but the ship was blown out of the sky above the temple. Seeing their leader and strategy go up in smoke, the Autobots at the Simfur Temple retreated to their base in Tyger Pax.

	The '''Simfur Temple''' is the resting-place of the [[Transformer\|Cybertronians]]' two most prized possessions: the [[AllSpark]] and a machine that keeps a ~~[[Sun\|~~star]] near [[Cybertron (planet)\|their planet]]. Evidently, it is located in the city of [[Simfur]], although the construction of the Simfur Temple precedes that of the city. Protection of the temple is the [[Science Division]]'s responsibility, partly because its members have a better understanding of the AllSpark and partly because no Cybertronian in their right mind would risk damaging the AllSpark or severing its connection to the star-capturing machine. In that sense, the occupation of Simfur Temple guard is more formal than functional, but at times Cybertron has to deal with [[alien]] invaders. With the Science Division protecting the Simfur Temple, the [[Defense Force]] has one worry less to take care of.

	As the war dragged on, Sentinel Prime created a small torch-like device that could turn the tide in the Autobots' favor. The one catch was that it needed to be powered by the AllSpark, which had been out of the Autobots' reach ever since the Decepticons had claimed Simfur and made it their most well-guarded stronghold.

At that moment, the temple gate opened, revealing the silhouette of [[Megatron (Movie)\|Megatron]]. Mocking them for their naïveté, {{storylink\|Foundation issue 3\|Foundation #3}} he attacked and called forth his troops that had remained in hiding up until then. This did not change the Autobots' plan at all, and with the necessary backup, Elita-One got the torch to the AllSpark, got it charged and escaped the battlezone with it. Elsewhere, she handed it to Sentinel Prime, who had prepared two ships, [[Ark (DOTM)\|one of which]] held a special cargo. Sentinel Prime flew it to the Simfur Temple to begin the next phase of his plan, but the ship was blown out of the sky above the temple. Seeing their leader and strategy go up in smoke, the Autobots at the Simfur Temple retreated to their base in Tyger Pax.

By this time, Simfur had been taken from the Decepticons and Optimus Prime made both factions think that the Autobots had brought back the AllSpark to the temple. This was a ruse to keep the Decepticons from approaching Tyger Pax, where the AllSpark was being prepared for launch. While most Autobots fought the Decepticons at Simfur, which saw its temple largely destroyed, a small unit protected Tyger Pax just in case. {{storylink\|Movie Prequel issue 1\|Movie Prequel #1}} This arrangement sort of backfired when Megatron saw through it and ordered his troops to keep fighting at Simfur to prevent the Autobots from sending reinforcements to Tyger Pax, but in the end, the Autobots succeeded still. {{storylink\|Planetfall (Movie)\|Planetfall}}
