Eons ago, the All Spark created thirteen beings, the first Cybertronians. They soon realized that the All Spark's power, though vast, was not infinite, and required the energy of stars to be replenished. Once a nearby star went nova, the All Spark created a worker race, the Transformers, who would assist the Dynasty in replenishing the All Spark. However, one of the thirteen, later known as the Fallen, betrayed his brothers and tried to steal the power of the All Spark for himself. However, once he had destroyed his brothers sarcophagi, he realized that they were able to still act, trapping him in his own Sarcophagus. Knowledge of the thirteen faded, and the Dynasty of Primes became little more than a myth. Defiance issue 4
Thousands of years later, the Science Division discovered the Fallen's sarcophagus and the remains of the other Twelve's sarcophagi. As the Fallen influence Protector Megatron, leader of the Defense Force, the members of the Science Division studied the remains of the other relics and discovered the symbol of the Primes. This was the first proof that they had found of the Dynasty, and whats more, the symbol was etched on the head of the Science Division's leader, who was soon dubbed Optimus Prime by his fellow scientists. After the Autobots refused to follow Megatron's Decepticons, the term Prime came to denote Optimus as leader of the Autobots. Defiance issue 3
