The Infinites were designed by Scorponok (a.k.a. the "Grand Architect"), a Decepticon who had always had an eye on potential future evolutions for the Transformer race. He began his experiments centuries ago, hiring blacksmiths to procure samples of sentio metallico for him to work with, but his work ground to a halt when he was arrested by Ultra Magnus for other offenses. Escaping incarceration under unknown circumstances, Scorponok resumed his work, employing Flame and others as enforcers, and establishing facilities scattered across the galaxy, each maintained by affiliates he employed to tend the embryonic Infinites as they grew within their "birthing pods." An Axe to Break the Ice Chasing the Infinite Success eluded him for some time, as one by one, his facilities failed; circumstances resulted in the decommissioning of the ward on Corritan, but when an attempt was made to relocate its Infinite stock, contamination resulted in the loss of the entire batch. This actively set the timetable back, so when Demus, custodion of the Tebris VII ward, was killed, the stock there was simply aborted, rather than risk a repeat. Chasing the Infinite Animals
