The Well of All Sparks, located under the surface of either Protihex or Altihex,[1] is the fount from which Primus birthed the Cybertronian race. It is a direct conduit for the lifeforce of Cybertron's living god, and was sealed to prevent his rival Unicron from locating the planet and destroying Primus' creations.
Fiction
Dreamwave Generation 1 comics
In an effort to draw his master to a weakened Primus, the Fallen gathered four Cybertronians he described as representing angles in the "Geometry of Dissolution" and performed a ceremony he referred to as "the Unbinding", an attempt to open the Seal of Primus, which would cause Primus to awaken and allow Unicron locate Cybertron. This ceremony succeeded, but quick thinking by Jetfire bought Primus enough time to manifest and destroy his traitorous servant before sealing the Well once more. In the absence of Megatron and Optimus Prime, the scattered factions of the warring populace agreed to place a lock on the chamber that could only be opened with the consent of all parties involved. Or, as Shockwave put it, "Until all are one."
It is unknown if Jetfire remained an atheist even after this event, though he has claimed that the glorious glowing manifestation of his race's deity blinded him, and thus he didn't see a thing. War Within: The Dark Ages
Animated
The Well of All Sparks is repeatedly referenced as the place where Transformers go after they die, ala the Allspark in other universes.
Exodus
The Well of All Sparks housed the AllSpark. In the past when protoforms emerged they would brave the terrors of the Underworld to leave, but in the era of the caste system there a Cybertronian was taught how to transform, assume their most natural alternate mode and were put into a Guild. During the Autobot-Decepticon war the AllSpark was ejected into space, and the Well remained empty until Optimus Prime journeyed through it to the core to purge it of Dark Energon. Alpha Trion had the Ark built in the Well, and there it launched into space. Transformers: Exodus

- ↑ "Conflagration" identifies the location above the Well of All Sparks first as Protihex in a narrative box. A few pages later, Prowl says it's Altihex. Given the layout of Cybertron as shown in Transformers: The Ultimate Guide, Protihex and Altihex are equally likely candidates.
