- Ultra-Energon or Ore-13 is a potent form of Energon found in the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Ultra-Energon, known to Earth-based Transformers as Ore-13, is a substance seemingly found only on Earth. Ore-13 can be purified, in the words of Ratchet, into "... baseline Energon, but with a twist. When applied directly to the systems of a Transformer via a modified delivery capsule, it grants that Transformer a phenomenal boost in overall capability."
Ultra-Energon is an artifical substance created by the Decepticon scientist Shockwave. He seeded a number of worlds with a potent "distillation" of Energon hundreds of thousands of years ago, designed to initiate a chain reaction which would produce Ultra-Energon ore in plentiful supply, giving him the balance of power when the Energon shortages he had forseen became inevitable.
When Shockwave abandoned the Decepticons a few thousand years ago he headed to Earth, at the end of the last Ice Age, to continue the plan by stablising the ore before it destroyed the planet. However he was ambushed by the Dynobots and left buried by a failsafe Grimlock had arranged that triggered a volcanic eruption in what is now Nevada. Given Shockwave's removal from the feild at this critical stage it is likely that all the other seeded worlds self-destructed, making Earth the only source of the Ultra-Energon ore.

When Shockwave's absence was discovered by Megatron, he assigned Bludgeon to investigate Shockwave's plans, and Soundwave to spy on Bludgeon in turn. While Bludgeon discovered the full extent of Shockwave's plans he fed little of it back to Megatron - nor did Soundwave. Spotlight: Soundwave

In the meantime, the presence of Ultra-Energon had been independently discovered back on Earth by a Decepticon infiltration team led by Starscream. It was dubbed Ore-13. After exhausting a vein of the ore beneath the original command bunker in Nebraska, Starscream built a second command bunker over a richer vein in Oregon.
