Through this artifact Six-of-Twelve claims to be a conduit of Primus's will, acting on cryptic visions and apocalyptic dreams of a coming war. Yes, everything must be done in the name of the greater good, in the name of [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]]ian sovereignty. And if a few million organic species perish in the name of that vision... then their deaths were clearly preordained by God himself.

	Six-of-Twelve held the Matrix for the next five million years.

Forewarned with this knowledge, Six of Twelve began preparing for the conflict. In an act of religious blasphemy, Six-of-Twelve began taking pre-existing Cybertronians and transplanting their [[Spark]]s into combat-ready [[Construction class\|construction]] and [[Military class\|military]] bodies. {{storylink\|Dissolution Part 3: A World Misplaced\|A World Misplaced}}		Six-of-Twelve held the 'Matrix' for the next five million years.

Instead, they decided to break into [[Vector Sigma]], supposedly sealed behind impenetrable [[ununtrium]], and in the process quash anti-Functionist sentiment once and for all by roping Rung into it.

	It's unclear if these desires stem from Six-of-Twelve's naturally ambitious nature or the false copy of the [[Matrix of Leadership]] he has integrated into his superstructure. Through this artifact Six-of-Twelve claims to be a conduit of Primus's will, acting on cryptic visions and apocalyptic dreams of a coming war. Yes, everything must be done in the name of the greater good, in the name of [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]]ian sovereignty. And if a few million organic species perish in the name of that vision... then their deaths were clearly preordained by God himself.

	Six-of-Twelve held the Matrix for the next five million years. After studying the talisman and its mysteries, he eventually came to believe that [[Primus]] could speak to him through the artifact—and that "Primus" foresaw a new era of war on [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]]. Forewarned with this knowledge, Six of Twelve began preparing for the conflict. In an act of religious blasphemy, Six-of-Twelve began taking pre-existing Cybertronians and transplanting their [[Spark]]s into combat-ready [[Construction class\|construction]] and [[Military class\|military]] bodies. {{storylink\|Dissolution Part 3: A World Misplaced\|A World Misplaced}}		Six-of-Twelve held the Matrix for the next five million years.

	The second part of Six-of-Twelve's plan involved [[Moonbase Two\|Luna 2]], last remaining moon of Cybertron and a constant battleground between the [[Primal Vanguard]] and the [[Black Block Consortia\|Black Box Consortia]]. Concerned with the idea that Cybertron's moon served no function on a planet without tides, he plotted to rebuild it into a massive [[~~Harvester unit\|~~harvester unit]] that would strip planets of minerals and send them back to Cybertron to fortify the planet.

	His plans nearing fruition, Six-of-Twelve's endgame began when the Council announced the "Day of Revelation", where he addressed the citizens of [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]] in a planet-wide broadcast.
