According to legend, the Transformer race begins when the AllSpark falls from the sky onto the barren world that will become Cybertron, giving life to the planet, and to the first Cybertronian, Primus. From Primus and cube come the Dynasty of Primes, a race of trans-dimensional beings able to walk across space and time through the use of sarcophagi. The Primes live in contentment until the distressing revelation that the AllSpark's power is not infinite, requiring the energy of suns in order to sustain its constant flow of Energon. Despite their powers, the Dynasty find themselves unable to find any more stars to sacrifice to the AllSpark, and so the AllSpark responds to their need, giving life to the next generation of Cybertronians. These new creations are able to transform their bodies into alternate modes that would enable them to aid the Dynasty in their task: Seekers to search for suns, and construction drones to build the star harvesters that will absorb the stars' energy. The AllSpark creates the Matrix of Leadership, the key that will activate these harvesters.
One of the Primes comes to believe that the AllSpark is "speaking" to him, and in his pursuit of power, he breaks the Dynasty's one law: he destroys the sun of a life-bearing world. This prompts the Dynasty to establish a new restriction, requiring them all to be present for the activation of a harvester. Undeterred, the renegade Prime secretly handpicks a selection of Cybertronians to be part of a new faction under his leadership, the Decepticons, and builds a facsimile Matrix to carry on his work. His counterfeit Matrix proves inferior when his next star-harvesting attempt backfires and floods his body with primal energies, driving him to total insanity. For his repeated infraction, the Prime is cast out of the Dynasty by his brethren and dubbed "The Fallen".
