Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity
Millions of years ago, Devisiun was a verdant, organic world, part of a binary star system and inhabited by a primitive civilization of organic creatures. Unfortunately for those same beings, their planet would be targeted by Transformer colonists, Time Will Rust encouraged by "Onyx Prime's" rhetoric of galactic expansion. The First Who Was Named
The Titan who had crash-landed on Devisiun perished on planetfall, Windblade vol. 2 #6 though the spark-igniting hot spot it had carried survived the landing and was summarily ignited by those crew members who had survived the impact. Time Will Rust The intense gravitational forces of Devisiun's twin suns caused an unexpected mutation amongst the new sparks that emerged from the hot spot: each spark emerged with a twin sibling, and this new generation of Devisiuns formed each half of a single alternate mode, although they were not "combiners" in the true sense of the word. The bond between Devisen twins was so close that they frequently finished one another's sentences Windblade vol. 2 #6 and, if one died, it was impossible for the other to transform. The Next Day, and the Next
Ultimately, the Devisiun colonists swifly overran the native civilization; considering their planet to be a brutal, untamed world, the colonists sought the need to bring "order" to the planet and set about eco-structuring their new home by paving over the native biosphere — driving the natives and Devisiuns' original ecosystem to the brink of extinction. Time Will Rust Some 600,000 years ago, Shockwave would send one of his many Regenesis ores to the planet. The First Who Was Named
Circa 2014, the First Titan Metroplex located several colonies with his sensors, including Devisiun. A Long Way Down While merged with Metroplex's mind, Camien Cityspeaker Windblade got a brief glimpse of life on Devisiun. Windblade vol. 1 #4
In the aftermath of the Combiner Wars, Starscream and Superion made a trip to Devisiun. The natives were quite impressed by Superion's combiner technology, allowing Starscream to persuade the planet to join the growing Council of Worlds. Vanquish and Fireshot were sent to Cybertron to simultaneously represent their colony. Windblade vol. 2 #6
As one of Cybertron's thirteen colonies, Devisiun would be targeted by Unicron as the planet-eater gathered strength for his attack on Cybertron. Prowl and the crew of the Peaceful Revolution followed him there, but realized that they were unable to stop him or his Maximals from devouring the planet, and instead moved on to Unicron's next target to lay a trap for the Chaos Bringer. Unicron #1 Unstopped and Unstoppable Less than a hundred Devisen refugees remained on Cybertron. Stranger Eons
Notes
- Devisiun's name is a play on "division". Clever!
- The planet's name has enjoyed a rather fraught history under the pens of various authors; it has been alternately spelled Divisiun and Divisen on multiple occasions.
- Most of the inhabitants of Devisiun seem to be based on Micromaster Combiners. Other natives include Generation 1 counterparts of Animated Jetfire and Jetstorm, and what might be Skids and Mudflap from the live action film series.
- While most Devisiens are tiny 'bots, befitting their origins as Micromaster Combiners, there are some exceptions; most prominently, the Devisens Oiler and Slide, as they appear in Optimus Prime, are larger-than-normal Transformers who loom over some smaller Autobots. (Maybe they're Devisiun's equivalents of Fortress Maximus?)
