Great Shutdown
From MediaWiki
The Great Shutdown is an event from the Dreamwave comics continuity.
Taking place approximately 1205 vorns after the launch of the Ark, the Great Shutdown marked the end of conflict on Cybertron for a staggering 46,592 vorns. During this time all known Cybertronians on the planet were in an enforced statis lock, rendering them inoperative.
The exact reasons for the Great Shutdown remain a mystery but the basic belief is that the warfare on the planet not only damaged it physically but depleted all of its Energon ultimately leaving it a wasteland of deactivated Cybertronians.
After about 36 vorns, Shockwave was reactivated and started to awakening others bringing the Great Shutdown to an end.
