Fiction

IDW Generation 1 continuity

In the earliest time in history, the Light God Primus formed the miracle planet of Cybertron. He later split his essence into five avatars consisting of himself, Solomus, Mortilus, Epistemus and Adaptus. This pantheon of deities were the Guiding Hand and Solomus was wisdom incarnate amongst them. Together, these gods guided Cybertronian civilization and helped bring about the first Golden Age. This ended when Mortilus shattered their union in his desire to strike against the universe. The conflict sparked by him caused Cybertron to shudder and ripped asunder its first moon. Before his destruction, Mortilus managed to entrap Solomus within a crystal prison but the god managed to reshape its form to become the Matrix of Leadership that served as a connection to Vector Sigma, though his most important gift was wisdom to future generations of Transformers.

If this is true, what became of him once the Matrix was emptied into Vector Sigma to stop D-Void and split in two is unknown. The Institute were based near it, in secret. Chaos Part Four: Genesis

There was a shrine to Solomus, unimaginatively called "the Shrine to Solomus", in the Greater Iacon area. Patternism

Perceptor found that the Matrix crystal was synthetic and designed to be split open so it could display a star map. It was assumed by Drift that this map would lead to the Knights of Cybertron, though the Knights are supposed to have arrived after Solomus. The Death of Optimus Prime
