	A '''stellar spanner''' (also spelled '''Stellar Spanner''') is a device that can [[transwarp]] space-time to instantaneously teleport a being over interstellar distances—or sometimes even between different [[continuity\|dimensions]]—even through [[Plait Expanse\|radiation]] that would disrupt other transportation methods.

	A long, long time later on [[Earth]], [[Side Burn (SG)\|Side Burn]] and [[Wheeljack (SG)\|Wheeljack]] built their own spanner, under the orders of [[Goldbug (SG)\|Goldbug]], who wanted one for his own plans (though he pretended to be following [[Rodimus (SG)\|Rodimus]]' orders). Since Wheeljack thought the [[Plait Expanse]] might deflect the spanner dangerously off-course, Goldbug wanted to use Side Burn as a test subject, but was persuaded to wait for a [[Scrounge (SG)\|Scrounge]].

	Meanwhile, [[Will Hayes\|Will]] and [[Blitzwing (SG)\|Blitzwing]] came across the device while cruising through the desert. They hid themselves and called for reinforcements, which initially came in the form of [[Heatwave (Timelines)\|Heatwave]]. Heatwave explained what the device was, and that he didn't think it would work, since most Cybertronians believed that the "Old One" had been killed by [[Optimus Prime (SG)\|Optimus Prime]] before he could finish his. But Blitzwing wasn't convinced, so Heatwave decided to sneak over and "talk" to the device, ignoring Blitzwing's protests to wait for more backup.

	Heatwave's attempts at being sneaky failed, and the [[Autobot]]s, ecstatic at their "volunteer test subject", captured him and threw him into the spanner. Blitzwing moved in and hacked into the spanner's console to stop it (since Heatwave's attempt to "talk" it into stopping was unsuccessful), but Wheeljack electrocuted him before he could finish, and Heatwave was sent into space. More [[Decepticon]]s then arrived, and Goldbug destroyed the spanner to keep it from them, before ordering the Autobots to retreat.

	Heatwave survived the trip to [[Cybertron (planet)\|Cybertron]], though it felt like he "had been converted into energy, flung light-years away within mere seconds, then re-assembled... by unskilled labor without consulting the manual."

	Back on Earth, though angry at Goldbug's scheming, Rodimus still had the Autobots rebuild the spanner. [[Blaster (SG)\|Blaster]] eventually tried to use it to send the now death-signal-broadcasting Blitzwing to Cybertron as a weapon, but [[Soundwave (SG)\|Soundwave]] rescued Blitzwing just in time. Blaster then dove into the spanner himself to escape, but Blitzwing destroyed the spanner's console with a tank shell it just as it activated. This caused the spanner to malfunction and strand Blaster on Earth's [[Moon (moon)\|Moon]].

	The Decepticons planned on using the schematics that Blitzwing downloaded during his hacking attempt to build their own stellar spanner. {{storylink\|Blitzwing Bop}} Presumably the Autobots never managed to build another spanner, and word of Heatwave's "trip" made the rounds of Cybertron, as [[Downshift (SG)\|Downshift]] commented to the rest of [[Remote Patrol Six]] that if the Decepticons could get a Stellar spanner working, the [[Autobot]]s wouldn't need a ship to get to Earth. They could just beam in, take whatever they wanted, then beam out again. {{storylink\|Do Over}}

	The Decepticon stellar spanner was completed and contact made between Earth and Cybertron.

	A '''stellar spanner''' (also spelled '''Stellar Spanner''') is a device that can [[transwarp]] space-time to instantaneously teleport a being over interstellar distances—or sometimes even between different [[continuity\|dimensions]]—even through [[Plait Expanse\|radiation]] that would disrupt other transportation methods.

	A long, long time later on [[Earth]], [[Side Burn (SG)\|Side Burn]] and [[Wheeljack (SG)\|Wheeljack]] built their own spanner, under the orders of [[Goldbug (SG)\|Goldbug]], who wanted one for his own plans (though he pretended to be following [[Rodimus (SG)\|Rodimus]]' orders). Since Wheeljack thought the [[Plait Expanse]] might deflect the spanner dangerously off-course, Goldbug wanted to use Side Burn as a test subject, but was persuaded to wait for a [[Scrounge (SG)\|Scrounge]].

	Meanwhile, [[Will Hayes\|Will]] and [[Blitzwing (SG)\|Blitzwing]] came across the device while cruising through the desert. They hid themselves and called for reinforcements, which initially came in the form of [[Heatwave (Timelines)\|Heatwave]]. Heatwave explained what the device was, and that he didn't think it would work, since most Cybertronians believed that the "Old One" had been killed by [[Optimus Prime (SG)\|Optimus Prime]] before he could finish his. But Blitzwing wasn't convinced, so Heatwave decided to sneak over and "talk" to the device, ignoring Blitzwing's protests to wait for more backup.

	Heatwave's attempts at being sneaky failed, and the [[Autobot]]s, ecstatic at their "volunteer test subject", captured him and threw him into the spanner. Blitzwing moved in and hacked into the spanner's console to stop it (since Heatwave's attempt to "talk" it into stopping was unsuccessful), but Wheeljack electrocuted him before he could finish, and Heatwave was sent into space. More [[Decepticon]]s then arrived, and Goldbug destroyed the spanner to keep it from them, before ordering the Autobots to retreat.
