Alternity

This article is about the species. For the franchise, see Transformers: Alternity.

The Alternity (オルタニティ Orutaniti) are a highly evolved form of Cybertronian life. They are gestalt beings, existing in higher-dimensional space, each one formed from the combination of the infinite variations of a singular individual which exist throughout the multiverse. Individuals are invited to become part of the Alternity, at which point they join the collective intelligence of the combined being, while at the same time retaining their individuality, effectively becoming all of the composite incarnations of the being at once, allowing the Alternity to exist across an infinite number of universal streams simultaneously.

To interact with the physical world, the Alternity create material vessels called auto-avatars, which are comparable in capabilities to the Cybertronians of many universal streams, but carry many unique technological advancements specific to the Alternity. In their native forms, they are composed of Alternium, a higher-dimensional material which resonates with the incarnations of the being on similar universal streams.

Having originated from universal stream Primax 903.0 Beta, manipulating that timeline is a dicey proposition at best for the Alternity due to issues of causality. As a result, agents known as Protectors are employed to deal with threats to the timeline. These agents are not Alternity themselves, which helps to avoid temporal paradox.

The Alternity are almost exclusively Autobots and Maximals, a fact that has not gone unnoticed by the Decepticons, most notably Megatron.

Fiction

Story of Binaltech

A key component in their ascension as a species to their hyper-dimensional state was the Timaeus Project, which not only began the initial forays into what would become the Timaeus drive dimensional locomotion system, but also began to isolate and refine the first Alternium.

Alternity

The Alternity serve as protectors to the residents of lower-dimensional universes, working to oppose the predations of the "Beast of Time," the creature known as the Hytherion. When the creature arrived in universal stream Primax 109.0 Beta, the Optimus Prime of that world joined the Alternity.

Ask Vector Prime

Vector Prime explained that when Ragnarok threatened the mission of several temporally-displaced G.I. Joes, a being such as himself, Heinrad, or the Alternity shunted Ragnarok to Primax 1104.10 Lambda.

Due to a time paradox in the Beast Wars of Aurex 615.03 Epsilon, the Alternity decided to get involved.

During the events of the Universe War, the Alternity fought the Hytherion alongside the Cloud World Autobots.

The Alternity kept optics on Primax 1185.04 Alpha due to Megatron falling into human captivity.

Vector Prime believed that someone, possibly the Alternity, tried to but did not very well stabilize Primax 785.06 Alpha and its associated universal streams after MegaZarak shattered the stable axis of the system. Ask Vector Prime
