Fiction

IDW Generation 1 continuity

Some 200,000 years before the war, Three-of-Twelve was alerted by a "code 113" that a potential "Point One Percenter" — the first for ten generations — had been uncovered at the Thymesis Energon mining facility on Luna 2. Having verified that the spark was indeed viable, Three-of-Twelve rewarded Momus, the site's foreman, by reclassifying him as being "alt mode exempt" then coldly informed the hapless miners who had first uncovered the spark that they had about six hours to live. Remembrance Day

The Functionist Universe

Template:Notecmn Three-of-Twelve attended a meeting of the Functionist Council at The Cog where Ten-of-Twelve reported back on the success of converting the Primal Vanguard into total surveillance agents by replacing their eyes with cameras, while Six-of-Twelve reported that he had consulted with their theoconomists over the next mass recall from the Grand Cybertronian Taxonomy, that of the data slugs. A strict reading suggested that they still had functional value, but their ability to store large amounts of data threatened the Council's ability to rule and so One-of-Twelve ordered their obsolescence chips to be detonated.
