Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity
Millions of years ago Caminus was the closest friend of the First Titan, Metroplex. He left Cybertron to travel to the stars in order to colonize new worlds—like all other Colony Titans, Caminus contained a hot spot filled with unborn sparks. Eventually, Caminus landed on a small world and used the hot spot to create a new civilization of Cybertronians. Over time, this colony lost touch with Cybertron and the local population adapted to include a concept of gender. In order to ensure the colony's survival, Caminus allowed his body to be disassembled and spread across the planet's surface. It was during this time that cityspeakers started to learn how to read the brains of Titans in order to maintain contact with Caminus, and to paint their faces in honor of him. Some time in the recent past, Thunderclash visited Caminus in the hope of finding someone capable of healing Metroplex. The Camiens, running low on resources and hoping to establish a link with Cybertron, sent Windblade, Chromia and Nautica on this sacred task. A 'Bot and Her CityWindblade issue 4

Notes
- Caminus's name is Latin for forge—an appropriate name, as he is the source of most female Transformers in the IDW continuity.
