Fiction

Classics

In ancient times, the Thirteen predicted that Gaea would one day be needed to combat some threat, and she agreed to be hidden as the core of Earth.

When Ultra Magnus used the power of the Terminus Blade to destroy the universe of Primax 207.0 Epsilon, Earth was the only thing to survive, having been brought into Magnus's home dimension, along with the entire population, both human and Cybertronian. It remained there when Nexus Prime strengthened the boundaries of the multiverse, which brought a benevolent Unicron and evil Primus into being for the first time.

Upon the dark Primus's transformation into his robot mode and subsequent attack on the displaced Earth, in an attempt to eradicate his former children, the Rarified Energon located in the planet reacted, and Gaea awakened. Transporting the population of humans to another dimension's Earth, she transformed to her robot mode and fought Primus to prevent him from imposing his interpretation of order upon the universe. With the aid of the Knights of Unicron, Gaea defeated him. Reformatting her alternate mode into a new Cybertron, she transformed back, giving a new home to the joint forces of the heroic Decepticons and Autobots. The Future Buried...

Beast Wars: Uprising

Gaia was a deity of some import in late 24th century Cybertronian culture. As Dead-End maneuvered her way through the Dinosaur's coolant systems, she sarcastically pondered what she had done in a previous life to merit her fate. A possiblity she considered was the theft of the spark of the lover of Gaia. Intersectionality

During the Vehicon Apocalypse, an indignant Rook invoked Gaia's name when he tried to point out to Fever Dream the Vehicons were quite blatantly bad news. Derailment
