AllSpark (Animated)
| The name or term "Allspark" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Allspark (disambiguation). |
- The All Spark is an artifact in the Transformers Animated continuity
A device of unknown origin and unimaginable power, the All Spark can create life itself and was the source of the Transformer race. For millions of years, Autobots and Decepticons waged the Great War over controlling it, with the Autobots only managing to defeat the Decepticons after they sent the All Spark through a space bridge portal, keeping it safely out of evil hands and effectively removing the wild card from remaining battles. If wielded by Decepticons, it would be a weapon of destruction like no other. In other words, same thing as the movie.
It seems to have a will of its own, seeking out qualified bearers and uniting even unlikely allies into a team.
It can also unfold really purdy.
Fiction
While Optimus Prime and his crew were repairing a space bridge, they stumbled acrossed the All Spark, hidden away inside a rock. Ratchet told them how during the Great War, the All Spark was thrown into a space bridge, so that Decepticons would never seize control of it's life-giving powers. At that moment, Teletran I reported a Decepticon warship was approaching their ship. In the Nemesis, Megatron had a little chit-chat with Starscream on how he has been searching for 4 million solar cycles for the the All Spark and will use it as a weapon. After Starscream's bomb goes off, the All Spark opens a space bridge and sends the Ark to Earth.
In Detroit, Sari comes in contact with the All Spark and transforms her security keycard into a powerful tool. With this new key, Sari can revive Autobots, bring stuff to life, open doors, screw up robots, and much more.

Notes
The All Spark's powers, enigmatic origin, and storyline role are very similar to the synonymous device from the live-action movie. Its look, however, is more of an homage to the Matrix of Leadership (i.e. an orange-ish container with bracketed handles and a window in front that opens outward to reveal a glowing, blue, spherical crystal suffused with blue energy). However, the All Spark here is angular and cubic rather than curved and spheroid like the Matrix, basically hybridizing the looks of the movie and G1 devices.
