The Dynasty of Primes found Earth but, due to the presence of life, would not harvest it. They were betrayed and slaughtered by one of their own, but the survivor stole the Matrix of Leadership needed to activate the Star Harvester. The Fallen dispatched the Seekers to locate the Matrix, and returned to Cybertron to wipe out the rest of the Dynasty. All were slaughtered save an orphan hidden from the Fallen, who was imprisoned in his sarcophagus. The Transformers inherited Cybertron, forming a civilization known as the Autobots, while the Harvester left on Earth was hidden by the native sentients. [citation needed]
