[edit]
In the year 2006 or 2007, the Sparkbots suddenly appeared in the sky before the "Kiss Players" singing group at the Brave Maximus Fortress concert of their world tour. They introduced themselves to the performers telepathically and insisted that the three humans in the group kiss them.
When Atari Hitotonari, Shaoshao Li and Marissa Faireborn complied, they were engulfed by a bright light and Brave Maximus was transported back to the Sherman Dam in the year 1985. The Autobot commander Optimus Prime was there, but could not see the time travellers as they observed him.
The Sparkbot Angela commanded Marissa to kiss her and the glowing pink sphere transformed into a lion. Flying close to Prime with Marissa on her back, she told the human to kiss the Autobot. When she did, a fragment of the Allspark emerged from his chest. As the travellers retrieved it, Angela ordered their return to the present day. The Sparkbots continued to lead the Kiss Players from one point in time and space to the next. At each destination, they encountered a famous Autobot or Maximal leader and kissed him to extract a fragment of the Allspark.
Following a perilous adventure on the planet Quintessa, the Kiss Players decided to decorate their new friends with symbols of their own devising. The Sparkbots' only response was to make grinding noises, leaving the girls undecided as to whether or not they approved.
As the team came closer to reaching their goal, a mysterious giant golden hand started appearing from nowhere and taking the Allspark fragments before the Kiss Players and Sparkbots could collect them.
When the hand was discovered to belong to Primus himself, the true purpose and allegiance of the Sparkbots was at last revealed: they were agents of evil, and what the Kiss Players had been collecting were not fragments of the Allspark at all, but Angolmois Energy, the lifeforce of Unicron! In fact, it had been the Sparkbots who redirected Galvatron's path toward Earth when he was originally fated to crash on Thrull, thus causing the destruction of Tokyo and all of the events that resulted from that catastrophe.
Fleeing back in time to prehistoric Earth with their precious prize, the Sparkbots released the Angolmois Energy that they had collected. Unicron was reborn!
In a mighty struggle, Primus succeeded in destroying Unicron once more, confining both his dark energy and the Sparkbots beneath the surface of the planet and creating Brave Maximus as a mighty guardian to watch over them. Kiss Players
