==Original multiverse==
{{delete|User request}}
Reality is made up of seven disparate universes, each dominated by their own variation of [[Star Power]], which is derived from "[[the One|G One]]". This being, also known as "the One" appoints the [[Angolmois Energy]]-based being known as [[Primus|the Oracle]] as protector of this multiverse, granting him a new body made of [[Golden Power]]. Rechristened as "Primus", he goes on to found the [[Primus Vanguard]], a peacekeeping force made up of seven orders, safeguarding their respective colored universe under their own leaders. Those leaders each have their own Matrix filled with a specific color of Star Power, with unique abilities—Primus himself holds the [[Silver Matrix]], which can collect and contain the seven Star Powers to become the [[Zodiac]] and restart reality.
 
However, the Primus Vanguard receives a recurring enemy, the [[Specter]]s, who are "inversions of the Matrix specturm" and take on ghostly visages based on decased leaders. The [[Blue Order]] leader, [[Brightes|Blue Brightes Convoy]] dies and passes on the mantle of the [[Matrix Sword]] and the [[α Matrix]] to [[Blue Big Convoy|Big]], to self-assumed forerunner [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]]'s disapproval. To defeat the Specters for good, the Primus Vanguard collectively decide to unleash the full light of their Matrices, which has the side effect of unifying the seven universes into one. {{storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale Prelude|Finale Prelude}} {{storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale|Finale}}
 
==Precursor World==
The [[Precursor World|singular universe]] comes under attack by the mysterious [[Vok]]. Unknowing of their origins, Primus uses the [[Black Legendisc]] to peer into the future. Seeing [[G1 World|a universe of ruin and war]], Primus also discovers that the Vok are the evolved forms of the Specters from the future. [[Primacron]], Primus's pet that acquired intelligence, contributes to Primus's spiral by revealing that he has extracted the "essence" of his Matrix, purifying it to become what he calls "Angolmois Energy". Desperate to stop what he sees as a terrible future, Primus begins a complex plan to avert the coming reality by restarting the universe himself. {{storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale Prelude|Finale Prelude}} {{storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale|Finale}}
 
With [[Golden Age (GS)|his loyal cadre of followers]], Primus begins by travelling to [[#2050|2050]] of the next world and acquiring the used-up Silver Matrix from the future. {{storylink|Abominus comic 2}} Bringing in [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] and [[Galvatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Galvatron]] from [[#2011|2011]], Primus gives Prime the older Silver Matrix and has him remove the Vok threat from this universe by tapping into his future self as Star Convoy. {{Storylink|Star Convoy comic}} However, to gather the Star Powers from the unassisting Primus Vanguard leaders, Primus's [[Primus's envoy|envoy]] tasks [[Halfshell]]'s [[Seacon (BW)|Seacons]] to join forces with [[Turtler]]'s [[Seacon (Masterforce)|Seacons]] from [[#2020|2020]]. {{storylink|God Neptune comic 2}} In the meantime, the [[Blue Order]] is destroyed from within by the still-venegful Straxus twins and the Matrix Sword stolen by them. Blue Big Convoy dies in the process, {{Storylink|Super Megatron comic 2}} but his [[spark]] is infused in the sword. His death also evolves the drone MC11 into [[Magna Convoy]]. {{storylink|Cybertron Magna Convoy prequel comic}} Through the exploits of the Seacons and [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron Omega]] (an upgraded form of Galvatron), the Star Powers are gathered together in one spot, along with players like Primacron (who has turned the [[Blue Planet (GS)|Blue Planet]] into the massive Neo Primus robot). With the past Silver Matrix, Primus collects all of the Star Powers and attempts to restart the universe, {{storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale Prelude|Finale Prelude}} but is interrupted by Primacron, who uses Neo Primus to shed the Oracle of his "Primus" body. Neo Primus is taken care of by the efforts of the [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] and the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] from [[#2050|2050]] and Primacron goes into hiding.
 
Megatron Omega takes in Golden Power for himself and evolves into Gold Megatron he attempts to use his [[New Primus Vanguard]] and the [[Gold Matrix]] to take over all time, but he is foiled thanks to the actions of Star Convoy and the Megatron from 2050 (who possesses [[Green Megatron]]). After a brief detour to [[#2011|2011]] to stop [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]]'s resurrection, the Oracle returns everybody to their proper time but not before erasing the appropriate memories. However, the Oracle ends up captured by the Straxus twins, who have a facility creating experimental Transformers and seek to take over in the devstation of the Primus Vanguard. [[Soundwave (BW)|Soundwave]], a member of the Golden Age, plans to bring about the freedom of his leader and the restoration of the Primus Vanguard. {{storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale|Finale}}
 
Two of the Straxuses' experiments, [[Convobat]] and [[Megalligator]], escape the villains' clutches. Megalligator joins up with Soundwave, {{storylink|Cybertron Convobat prequel comic}} while Convobat joins up with Magna Convoy. {{storylink|Cybertron Magna Convoy}} Through efforts unknown, the Primus Vanguard is restored with a new roster of leaders, some old, some new. {{storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale|Finale}}

The [[Precursor World]] ends {{storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale|Finale}} and the [[Big Bang (event)|Big Bang]] occurs; the universe is reborn through the power of [[Zodiac]]. {{storylink|Enter the New Supreme Commander, Dai Atlas!}} Spent, the Zodiac shatters and becomes a supermineral spread throughout the universe. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX 2 Roadfire Chapter|Roadfire Chapter}}
 
Primacron and the Oracle are survivors of the past universe (along with the [[Three Wise Ones]]). The Oracle is trapped within the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] and serves as a store for all the life energy of the [[Precursor World]]; Primacron plants the Matrix within a "[[Primitive|beast-type robot]]" and uses him to grant life to robotic creations such as the [[Junkion (species)|Junkions]], [[Lithone (species)|Lithone]], [[Xetaxxis|Xetaxxians]], [[Lanarq]]ans, and the [[Twin Star]]ians. {{storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale|Finale}}

The galaxy is born and the alien scientist [[Primacron]] gathers massive amounts of Angolmois Energy to create the mighty [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]], a sentient, planet-sized robot lifeform that feeds on mechanical planets and robot life forms. But the "god" recognizes the Matrix as a threat to his power and Unicron rebels against his creator, injuring Primacron and seemingly destroying the Oracle. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}} However, the assistant survives within the Matrix and travels to [[Cybertron (planet)|an organic planet in the center of the galaxy]] where he empties his wisdom, becoming one with the world. {{Storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Grand Maximus)|Bonus Edition Vol. EX}} {{storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale|Finale}}
 
The Oracle senses that Primacron will create [[Tornedron]], which can absorb all energy, in the far future. To battle this menace, the Oracle summons [[Grimlock (G1)|Grimlock]] and other beast [[Transformer]]s from the future to tell them how to destroy the threat.<ref>''Kiss Players'' timeline. In its original English and Japanese versions, the events of this episode do not suggest any time travel to have occurred, but the new merged Japanese timeline retconned it in to prevent a conflict with the new idea that the Oracle has become Vector Sigma by the modern day.</ref> {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}
 
[[Image:Ffod4 production line.jpg|right|thumb]]
The conquering [[Quintesson]]s immigrate to the Oracle's green planet and cyberform it with their mechanization ray to create [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. There, they obtain the Matrix, which also has the ability to absorb "wisdom" converted into energy and absorbs the Quintessons' evil wisdom from then on. The Oracle, only regarded as a mysterious energy being by the invaders, is sealed within the ultra computer [[Vector Sigma]]. The mechanization device becomes the [[Key to Vector Sigma]], and it is used to control Vector Sigma along with the Matrix. {{storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale|Finale}} On the planet, the Quintessons attempt to create [[Trans-Organic]]s as a fusion between robotic and organic life, but fail and seal them up deep within the planet. {{storylink|The Dweller in the Depths}} This is also a failure on the part of the Oracle, who seeks to merge the positives of organic and mechanical life; the Trans-Organics only exhibit the negative qualities—the rage of wild beasts and the cruelty of cold machines. {{Storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Grand Maximus)|Bonus Edition Vol. EX}}
 
Not deterred by the Trans-Organic failure, the Quintessons mass-produce civilian and military robot life forms using Vector Sigma, the ancestors of the [[Autobot]]s and [[Decepticon]]s, as slaves. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} The first of these is named [[Alpha Trion|A3]]. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}} Unbeknownst to the Quintessons and their creations, {{Storylink|The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 2}} they harbor [[spark]]s that make up the [[Allspark]]. {{Storylink|The Reformatting}}
 
As part of his efforts to unify organic and mechanical life after being forced to produce purely robotic beings, the Oracle creates a facility at [[G Nebula 89]] manned by its own computer. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Grand Maximus)|Bonus Edition Vol. EX}}

The [[Three Wise Ones]] arrive on [[Beast (planet)|Beast]], but find it inhospitable and retreat to a cave where they develop the incredible [[Head Hunter]]s to create a subterranean empire. Fearing the Head Hunters' incredible power, the Wise Ones scatter the three machines all over the planet. To protect the planet in their absence, they create the [[Laser Beast]]s by merging animal with machine. {{storylink|Beastformers catalog}} The Wise Ones convert themselves into six Gems, three of Stillness and three of Motion, with one of each corresponding to an element represented by an individual Wise One. {{storylink|The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 3}}
 
At some point afterwards, a group of Laser Beasts loyal to the Wise Ones' teachings find their civilization cold-hearted and migrate to the surface of Beast with the six gems. There, they become [[Beastformer (species)|Beastformers]] and use the Gems to live in harmony. {{Storylink|Beastformers catalog}}

A Quintesson tries to convince the other Quintessons of the potential in their slave robots. All he receives is mockery. Still afraid of the inevitable rebellion, he flees Cybertron and dedicates himself to gathering the entirety of information in the Universe. He eventually becomes the Seeker, a god-like entity made of data. {{storylink|A Treasure's True Worth}} Another Quintesson, [[Mara-Al-Utha]], practices heresy by performing [[magic]] and is banished by his fellow Quintessons to the magical dimension of [[Menonia]] through a portal on Cybertron. The portal is sealed up and ignored in the millions of years that follow. At Menonia, Mara-Al-Utha takes control of the realm from his teacher, the [[Golden One]], and adopts the identity of the "Red Wizard". {{storylink|Madman's Paradise}}
 
The Matrix is acquired from the Quintessons<ref name="KP"/> and the evil energy within from years of absorbing the wisdom of the Quintessons is emptied. This energy is self-aware and becomes the evil entity later known as [[Devil Z]], who seeks revenge for being disposed of. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX (Grand Maximus)|Bonus Edition Vol. EX}} The Matrix is possessed by [[Primon]], who passes it on to [[Prima]], a gladiator. Prima is killed by the Quintessons for rebellion and so the Matrix is given to [[Prime Nova]]. Their wisdom and memories are collected in the Matrix, as are those of later bearers. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}}
 
True to the Seeker's predictions, the intelligent robots of Cybertron, perhaps inspired by the example of Prima, develop emotions and [[Autobot Rebellion|revolt]], with A3 and [[Beta (G1)|Beta]] as leaders. Quintesson interference from [[#2010|the future]] attempts to stop the rebellion, but Autobots from that time are caught up in the mess, being transported to this time while A3 is transported to the future. Thanks to the efforts of the 2010 Autobots, things are put in their proper place and the rebellion continues. {{storylink|Forever Is a Long Time Coming}} They chase the Quintessons from the planet. The species, however, then splits into two—the military Decepticons and the civilian Autobots. The two factions declare war against each other, beginning the first of many wars. The Autobots, lacking combat capabilities, are massacred, forcing many to flee Cybertron. {{Storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 2}} The Matrix becomes a sigil associated with Autobot leadership and is possessed by [[Guardian Prime]]. Guardian Prime dies early in the war and the Matrix is picked up by [[Zeta Prime (G1)|Zeta Prime]]. As the War rages on, the Autobots develop technology allowing them to transform their bodies. With this ability, [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]], the new Matrix-bearer, defeats [[Trannis]], ushering in the [[Golden Age]] of Cybertron.
 
Several centuries later, the Decepticons gain the same transformation technology. The species becomes the "[[Transformer]]s". {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}}
 
Performing research, the scientists [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] and [[Jetfire (G1)|Skyfire]] travel to [[Earth]]. Skyfire crashes into the Arctic and Starscream, unable to find his friend, returns to Cybertron. {{storylink|Fire in the Sky}}

[[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] is built by the [[Constructicon (G1)|Constructicons]] deep within Cybertron. The new robot becomes the [[Emperor of Destruction]], leading the Decepticons in the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]] and succeeding in killing the Autobot leader, [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]]. Sentinel Prime's Matrix falls into the hands of Alpha Trion, formerly A3, for safekeeping till the next Autobot leader emerges. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} The new Supreme Commander soon arises when cargo hauler [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Orion Pax]] is badly injured by Megatron and, through Alpha Trion's aid, is reborn as Commander [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], bearer of the Matrix. The two legendary leaders intensify the everlasting war. The [[Aerialbot (G1)|Aerialbots]], having travelled back from 1985, participate in those events before returning to the future. Amid those events, Orion's girlfriend, Ariel, is also injured and rebuilt into [[Elita One]], later leader of the [[Female Autobots]]. {{storylink|War Dawn}}
 
The female counterpart to Megatron, [[Megaempress]], is built using spare parts from Megatron's creation. She forms and rules over the Female Decepticons, building [[Moonheart]] and [[Lunaclub]] to serve her. The mistrusting [[Shockwave (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Shockwave]] attempts to infiltrate Megaempress's group with [[Flowspade]], but the spy ends up being infatuated with the Empress of Destruction. When Megaempress makes her attempt to control Megatron using her "Special Power" of seducing male Transformers, Shockwave has her and Flowspade put into stasis in a sealed chamber within his base. {{Storylink|Megatronia Chapter}}
 
[[Crystal City]] is built by the Constructicons and guarded by the [[Guardian robot]] [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], who befriends the builders. This peaceful friendship would end when Megatron used the [[Robosmasher|Robo-Smasher]] on his builders, converting them into Decepticons. Convincing Omega Supreme to leave his post, the Constructicons destroy Crystal City. Full of anger, Omega hunts down his former friends and attempts to reverse their reprogramming, but is unsuccessful. The Constructicons are rebuilt to be able to combine into [[Devastator (G1)|Devastator]]. Devastator tries to have the Robo-Smasher brainwash Omega Supreme, but the Autobot destroys the device before it can do irreversible damage. {{storylink|The Secret of Omega Supreme}}
 
As the War rages on, [[Cyberdroid]]s, who lack the ability to transform, flee Cybertron and search for a new home. {{storylink|Desertion of the Dinobots, Part 2}} On [[Antilla]], the [[Thirteenth Legion]] showcase their presence by creating a giant Autobot symbol on the planetary surface that is visible from space.

Megatron creates the [[Powered Master|Poweredrons]], who can use their [[Powered Engine]]s to terraform planets into energy-producing colonies. However, they realize Megatron's evil and leave the Decepticons, but not before they steal a fleet of starships to bring civilians to [[Paradron]], a world they secretly developed. {{storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX 3 Dai Atlas Chapter|Dai Atlas Chapter}} {{storylink|Fight or Flee}} They return to Cybertron and join the Autobots; leader [[Dai Atlas (G1)|Dai Atlas]] tells Optimus Prime of energy signs on [[Earth|the third planet]] of the [[Solar System]]. {{Storylink|Legends Comic: Bonus Edition Vol. EX 3 Dai Atlas Chapter|Dai Atlas Chapter}}
 
As the resources on Cybertron dry up thanks to the never-ending War, an Autobot space exploration team led by Optimus Prime boards the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]]. They are pursued by the Megatron-led Decepticons aboard the ''[[Nemesis (G1)|Nemesis]]''. Most of the ''Nemesis'' crew aboard the Ark, but, in the chaos, both ships are pulled in by [[Earth]]'s gravity. The Ark crashes into [[Mount St. Hilary]] and the Transformers aboard enter a long period of [[stasis lock]]. In Megatron's absence, [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] was appointed steward of Cybertron. This state of affairs did not change much in the following four million years. {{storylink|More than Meets the Eye, Part 1}} During the Ark's launch, the [[Female Autobots]] were assumed destroyed, but in actuality survived and formed an underground resistance group. {{storylink|The Search for Alpha Trion}}
 
Ejected from the ''Nemesis'' before crashing is an escape module containing three Decepticons. They [[idento-computer|acquire]] insect-based alternate modes and those "[[Insecticon (G1)|Insecticons]]" use the Earth's resources and life as food.<ref>In the 2007 timeline, this event is placed in the "ancient past" before the departure of the ''Ark'' and the ''Nemesis''.

To survive in the [[energon]]-rich atmosphere, the crews of both ships scan the animals of Earth in order to transform into them. None of the Maximals and Predacons are aware of where they have crashed, calling the planet "Energoa". Only [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] knows the truth, preemptively blowing up the entrance to the Ark at Mount St. Hilary. {{storylink|The Agenda (Part III)}} For now, he is simply content with gathering the ubiquitous energon for conquering Cybertron.

Desiring an upgrade for himself, Megatron concocts a plan to enter the Ark and take the original Megatron's spark into himself. Tarantulas tries to betray Megatron and destroy the Ark, but he fails when Megatron rises from the lava in a new form with a dragon mode and Blackarachnia stops the Ark's self-destruct. {{Storylink|Master Blaster}} Megatron's new body, however, is of little help when the Vok deem him guilty of interfering with the timestream and sentence him to death. The aliens combine the abducted bodies of Tigatron and Airazor into a new warrior, [[Tigerhawk]], and use him as their emissary to Earth. Just as Tigerhawk is about to deliver the killing blow to Megatron, he is paralyzed by Tarantulas, who has plans for the Transformer and the Vok inside him. His plans are foiled by Cheetor and the Predacon dies along with the Vok. The wayward sparks of Tigatron and Airazor find their rightful places in Tigerhawk. {{Storylink|Other Victories}}

Rampage and Depth Charge have their final confrontation on the ocean bottom, killing each other. {{storylink|Nemesis Part 1}} Optimus Primal flies into the gigantic ship and tries to stop his power-mad nemesis, but the Predacon's power is too much for him to handle. Dinobot, having a change of heart brought on by the destruction of Rampage's spark half, relays the loaction of [[Autobot Shuttle Omega Delta|a hidden Autobot shuttle]] in the Ark to the Maximals. Rhinox flies it through the bridge of the ''Nemesis'', catching Megatron on the windshield. The ''Nemesis'' crashes off into the horizon, with Dinobot in it.

The Battle of Star Gate begins. Formally allying themselves with the United State government, the Autobots supply technology to make an orbiting [[warp gate]] platform called the [[Trigger]]. Their alliance is later formally announced to much fanfare. Unsurprisingly, the Trigger attracts the attention of the Decepticons, and a [[Trov|traitor]] in the crew serves up the Trigger on a silver platter. They are stopped by [[Makoto (Star Gate)|a crewman]] and Optimus Prime before they can exploit the Trigger. With this attack, the Autobots formally announce the existence of the Decepticons to the world at large. {{storylink|First Contact (Star Gate)|First Contact}}
 
Further human-Autobot cooperation results in the [[C-X]] drones made in the image of Optimus Prime. Starscream's ghost, come from the future seeking to destroy Megatron, interferes with the C-X, causing it to go berserk, but the drone is subdued. Done with messing with the Autobots, Starscream's ghost goes to meet the present Starscream. {{Storylink|Divided Views}} The future Starscream later uses the Trigger to materialize in front of the other Transformers, {{storylink|Activation}} and the two Starscreams abscond with a stock of energon cubes to the Trigger.

The Autobots participate in the [[Galactic Olympics]] at [[Athenia]]. {{Storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}} [[Shaoshao Li]] comes from the past year of [[#2007|2007]] to kiss Rodimus and draw out the "[[Angolmois Energy|Allspark fragment]]" he carries inside his being. {{Storylink|Transformers: Kiss Players (radio drama)|Kiss Players #41}} [[Cyclonus (G1)|Cyclonus]], at [[Chaar]] and dissatisfied with the current Decepticon status quo, calculates Galvatron's velocity {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 1}} and travels to [[Thrull]].

To destroy the Autobots they have captured and the Matrix, the Quintessons explode Quintessa. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 2}} The Autobots survive, but become trapped on [[Goo 8739B|Goo #8739B]].

Rodimus, to discover the connection between the Quintessons and the Transformers, peers deep into the Matrix, where he finds out that the Quintessons are the Transformers' creators. The Quintesson-Decepticon alliance attacks on two fronts: rebuilding and setting [[Trypticon (G1)|Trypticon]] loose on Earth {{storylink|LG-43 Trypticon Project Chapter}} and an invasion on Cybertron. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}} Trypticon destroys the [[Ark (G1)|Ark]], soon moving on to [[Autobot City|Scramble City]], but [[Metroplex (G1)|Metroplex]], thanks to a delivery of a [[Transformation cog (biology)|transformation cog]] helped along by [[Marissa Faireborn]], transforms, battles the dinosaur, and defeats him. The true goal of the Quintessons is to pull the [[large switch|kill switch]] on Cybertron, which Galvatron unwittingly obliges.

Giving back the Matrix to Hot Rod, Optimus takes off on a suicide mission to destroy a Quintesson trap. {{Storylink|Dark Awakening}} Another Quintesson plot uses the [[Time Window]] to change Cybertron's past. Some Autobots fall into the Window, being transported to the beginning of the slave rebellion [[#11,000,000 years ago|11,000,000 years ago]].

The [[Dimensional Patrol]] brings them back to this era, and the native Autobots sentence them to be reverted to Autobot protoforms.

==2038==
[[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] learns of the [[Legends World]] and goes through a [[Zamojin (species)|Zamojin]] portal to it with the intention to invade. {{Storylink|Legends Vol. 23}}
 
==2039==
After the end of the [[Great War (G1)|Great War]], [[Autobot]]s, [[Decepticon]]s, and [[human]]s have entered an alliance. Humans discover [[Angolmois Energy]] within the "Gaia Energy" of [[Earth]] and use it to revolutionize their civilization. [[Atari Hitotonari|Professor Hitotonari]] is member of [[Project Gaia]], which leads to the creation of androids such as [[Artemis]] and [[Moon (BW)|Moon]].
 
On [[Micro|Zone]], a new kind of [[Transformer]] is born from [[protoform]] capsules infused with [[Beast Power]]. Realizing that those beings' descendants will one day [[Beast Wars (event)|fight in the past]], [[Wheeljack (G1)|Wheeljack]] gives them the same faction symbols as those Beast Warriors, to show that the future cannot be changed. Also on Zone, the [[Legends World]] is resurrected through the power of many artifacts, and [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] himself is resurrected on the Legends World through its residents' wishes.

==2050==
By 2050, humans have fully revolutionized [[Earth]] thanks to the bounty provided by [[Angolmois Energy]]. With its power, they create their own servant race, the [[Selector]]s. The evacuation of Angolmois leads to the presence of temporal incursions at [[Dinobot Island (G1)|Dinobot Island]], allowing the [[Quintesson]]s to be free of their dimensional prison. In the meantime, the Selectors, led by [[Rung (G1)|Rung]] feel the toil of slavery and petition [[Megatron (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Megatron]] to aid their cause, which the [[Decepticon]] leader accepts. The Autobots are at first opposed to this rebellion, {{storylink|Volcanicus comic 1}} but Megatron manages to convince [[Optimus Prime (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Optimus Prime]] to come over to their side. The [[Dinobot (G1)|Dinobots]] and the [[Technobot (G1)|Technobots]] still fight for humanity, based on the Dinobots' friendship with [[Carly]]. However, [[Spike Witwicky (G1)|Spike Witwicky]] allies himself with the Quintessons, who unleash the [[Terrorcon (G1)|Terrorcons]] onto all sides. {{storylink|Volcanicus comic 2}}
 
Spike realizes the folly of allying with the Quintessons, but is shot through the chest for his troubles. Due to the evil influence of the five-faced aliens, Angolmois Energy starts erupting throughout the planet. As a last-ditch effort, Megatron uses his Unicron-enhanced body to absorb the Angolmois Energy, becoming his ultimate self—Megatron Omega. {{Storylink|Abominus comic 1}} Thanks to Rung, Spike manages to transfer his consciousness into "Neo Autobot X" and the attending [[Quintesson Judge]] is incapacitated by an [[energon enema]]. Megatron Omega loses control and simply seeks to consume all Angolmois to become mightier than [[Unicron/Generation 1|Unicron]], but a call from the [[#Precursor World|Precursor World]] pulls the Dinobots and the Terrorcons there.
 
From earlier in the Precursor World, [[Primus]] and the [[Golden Age (GS)|Golden Age]] travel to [[Micro|Zone]] to crash [[Dai Atlas (G1)|Dai Atlas]]'s reunification of the Zodiac fragments into the [[Silver Matrix]] and the god takes it for his own purposes. {{storylink|Abominus comic 2}}
 
[[Lio Convoy]], acting on orders from the Vector Sigma of the future, arrives on Earth to seal away Megatron Omega's body, leaving a [[spark]] purified by righteous Angolmois Energy that is whisked away to the Precursor World. In the aftermath, the Dinobots and Terrocons are returned from their time in the Precursor World. Spike and Rung lead the humans and Selectors in leaving Earth, realizing that Angolmois Energy is too dangerous to use. They establish outposts on the [[Moon (moon)|Moon]] (leaving [[Artemis]] and [[Moon (BW)|Moon]] to act as observers there after wiping their memories) and [[Mars]] (leaving [[Martian emissary|a planetary-destruction trigger]] there) to safeguard the Angolmois Energy should it be ever used for ill intent. In accordance to humanity's wishes, the [[Transformer]]s seal or erase all data regarding Earth, and the planet becomes known as "[[Gaia]]", with a legendary green lion wandering it. {{storylink|Generations Selects Special Comic Finale|Finale}}
