Afterspark

The Afterspark is a mythical location from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

The Afterspark is an afterlife where lost lives, spent sparks, and things that once were go. Some seem to believe it to be a hellish wasteland, while others think it's a place freed from pain and suffering.

Fiction

IDW Generation 1 continuity

After awakening from his "sacrifice" to cleanse Vector Sigma of D-Void, Optimus Prime thought he was in the Afterspark. Subsequent exploration revealed his belief to be incorrect; the world was Cybertron itself in a period of rebirth. The Death of Optimus Prime The massive changes to the planet caused Hipotank to ask the Autobots "What in the Afterspark have you done?" The Autonomy Lesson

During a discussion on Primus, Ore told Swerve that he didn't believe in the Afterspark or any other afterlife for that matter. Once Ore suddenly vanished, the more religious Swerve assumed that Primus had intervened and sent the poor soul to the Afterspark. Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations

Notes

• The Afterspark is basically the IDW G1 version of the Allspark dimension, probably so named to avoid confusion with the life-giving object AllSpark.
