Fiction

2005 IDW continuity

About 200,000 years before the war began, Rushcut and his buddy Frak were mining Energon when they uncovered a strange green spark that emitted a flash of light. Unnerved, Rushcut alerted Momus, the foreman, who called in the find as a "code 113". In response, the Functionist Council sent the Authenticator Three-of-Twelve to verify that the spark was a viable "Point One Percenter" and Momus was rewarded by being reclassified as "alt mode exempt", meaning he could follow a career of his own choosing. For their reward, Rushcut and Frak were coldly informed that having been exposed to the spark's first flash, they had about six hours to live. Remembrance Day
