Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity
About 200,000 years before the war began, Frak and his buddy were mining Energon when he uncovered a strange green spark that emitted a flash of light. Unnerved, Frak's buddy alerted Momus, the foreman, who called in the find as a "code 113". The Functionist Council sent the Authenticator Three-of-Twelve to verify that the spark was a viable "Point One Percenter" and Momus was rewarded by being reclassified as "alt mode exempt", meaning he could follow a career of his own choosing. Asking if he might be rewarded with a drill-hand, Frak was coldly informed that having been exposed to the spark's first flash, he had about six hours to live. Remembrance Day
