Energon Universe
For a millennia, Cybertron was world of peace, beautiful in its own harsh way. Optimus' spark came into being towards the end of that peaceful era Transformers #2 when an energy crisis struck, leading Jetfire to leave Cybertron in order to find a way to save their world. Unfortunately, he would spend centuries searching for a solution he could never find. Eventually, Jetfire's search was interrupted when he crashed on an uncharted desolate world without enough energon to function, leaving him unable to return to Cybertron with a solution. Much would change in the time since he left, all for the worse. Transformers #1
Since Jetfire's departure, Cybertron fell to war, driven by greed and power. For two centuries, the Autobots fought to try and keep the old ways of peace, but the extremist Decepticon faction caused such a large amount of casualties the Autobots had no choice but to abandon Cybertron to their oppressors. Transformers #2 In the absence of the Autobots and sufficient energon, the Decepticons went into stasis under the watch of Shockwave. Void Rivals #4
When Darak and Solila inadvertently awoke Jetfire after finding his inert body in ship mode, he quickly saw the amount of weathering on he had on his body meant he has been away from Cybertron for too long. Concerned as to the state of his homeworld, Jetfire immediately transformed and flew off-planet, leaving Darak and Solila behind. Void Rivals #1
At some point in Cybertron's history, the Quintessons and Cybertronians started their hatred of each other. Seeking to capitalize upon their hate, the Skuxxoid captured a Quintesson Prosecutor and brought his prisoner to Cybertron, hoping to arrange some kind of trade. However, he opted to barter with Shockwave, who now had little currency left for trade after spending it all on resources to survive for the past couple of centuries. With barely enough energon to sustain himself, and even less patience, Shockwave told the organic to take the Prosecutor out of his sight, lest the Decepticon start stripping the Rockeroid for parts. Void Rivals #4
After finding the Ark and inadvertently restarting the Great War on Earth, Jetfire was fatally wounded by Starscream as the Autobots fled the Decepticons. As he lay dying, Jetfire lamented he had spent centuries of searching for healing for their home, only to find nothing. Asking Optimus if there is any hope left for Cybertron, Jetfire succumbs to his wounds believing he had failed in his mission, leading Cybertron to die. Transformers #1
