Fiction

IDW Generation 1 continuity

After the creation of Cybertron, Primus split his essence into five beings that became a pantheon of deities called the Guiding Hand. Adaptus was blessed with an infinity of shapes and he stood alongside Mortilus, Solomus, Epistemus as well as Primus himself. Together, they brought about the first Golden Age and guided early Cybertronian civilization. Their reign ended when disharmony broke out as Mortilus desired to strike out against the universe. His dissension caused Cybertron to shudder and ripped asunder the first moon where he managed to bring about the end of the Guiding Hand. Adaptus was stripped bare and turned into a transformation cog before Mortilus was destroyed. Though defeated, Adaptus passed the legacy of transformation to future generations of Cybertronians as his gift to them. Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations

Forged Transformers, formed naturally from sparks which emerged from the surface of Cybertron and its moons The Fecund Moon are associated with Adaptus. According to Ratchet, forged medics (as opposed to those whose bodies were "constructed cold", then given life by spliced spark energy) have natural fluidity of movement in their hands that make them the best medics, and this is seen by some (though not Ratchet) as proof of Adaptus' existence. Life After the Big Bang

The Militant Monoform Movement symbolically rejected Adaptus by surgically removing their transformation cogs. Life After the Big Bang While explaining to Springarm that he was skeptical of religion, Orion Pax admitted that he didn't believe in the gods Primus, Mortilus and Adaptus. Chaos Theory Part 2
