In ancient times, the Thirteen predicted that Gaea would one day be needed to combat some threat, and she agreed to be hidden as the core of Earth. The Future Buried...

When Ultra Magnus used the power of the Terminus Blade to destroy the universe of Primax 207.0 Epsilon, Earth was the only thing to survive, having been brought into Magnus's home dimension, along with the entire population, both human and Cybertronian. It remained there when Nexus Prime strengthened the boundaries of the multiverse, which brought a benevolent Unicron and evil Primus into being for the first time. Invasion Out of the One, Many

Upon the dark Primus's transformation into his robot mode and subsequent attack on the displaced Earth, in an attempt to eradicate his former children, the Rarified Energon located in the planet reacted, and Gaea awakened. Transporting the population of humans to another dimension's Earth, she transformed to her robot mode and fought Primus to prevent him from imposing his interpretation of order upon the universe. With the aid of the Knights of Unicron, Gaea defeated him. Reformatting her alternate mode into a new Cybertron, she transformed back, giving a new home to the joint forces of the heroic Decepticons and Autobots. The Future Buried...

Gaea had teleported the humans to another dimension, one where the Cybertronian race was near-extinct, reasoning that this world would be safe and peaceful for the organics, knowing that Thunder Mayhem would fall to the Pretenders she'd sent.

Notes

• Gaea is appropriately named after Gaea, who was the personification of the Earth in Greek mythology. The same mythological reference was used for future Earth in Beast Wars II.
• Gaea was first depicted on a T-shirt for the unofficial BotCon 2004, though her official design is slightly modified (such as, um, not having two individual robo-breasts).
