Located in the very depths of Cybertron was a device created by the Quintessons during their rule over the Transformers... a device operated by a large switch.

Fiction
Generation 1 cartoon

The Quintessons used their new Decepticon allies to assault Cybertron while they secretly sent a commando team of Sharkticons into the depths of Cybertron to push the switch to the down position, which would have deactivated all the Transformers. The Sharkticons failed in their task because of Blitzwing and Rodimus Prime. However, the mad Galvatron thought that the switch was related to the Decepticon Matrix of Leadership, which was a Quintesson lie, and threw the switch himself. This stopped the Transformers war by stopping all the Transformers, leaving Cybertron back in the hands of the Quintessons. That is, until Spike Witwicky used Rodimus's gun to destroy the switch, which reactivated the Transformers again, leaving the ever-irrational and maniacal Galvatron really ticked off at the Quintessons....
