Jetfire works for The Fallen. No, really!
Synopsis
The Seeker Jetfire serves directly under the Prime who would become The Fallen, finding for him various stars to harvest, believing he was serving the Dynasty of Primes as a whole, rather than The Fallen's machinations in specific. Over time, The Fallen began to open up to Jetfire and told him he had unwittingly sacrificed a populated star system: the two would scan a system together, but The Fallen would report that his search areas were devoid of life. He claimed the Primes' refusal to sacrifice life to save their own planet would be its downfall, and that an army must be readied in case the Primes betrayed them all.
Jetfire continued to work with The Fallen, despite his doubts. His master and a small army of Constructicons had fashioned a new, secret faction called the Decepticons with the intention of eventually subverting the Dynasty. Jetfire followed them to a desert on a small blue planet to build another solar harvester when primitive life made itself known. The Dynasty arrived soon thereafter to put an end to The Fallen's betrayal. Jetfire realized too late that he was on the wrong side, and so The Fallen warped Jetfire and the other "underlings" elsewhere so that the Primes could face each other alone. Jetfire fought the Constructicons, and was eventually victorious, but with a price. He crashes from orbit into the Earth and lies dormant for thousands of years. After he awoke, he wandered across the desert until an experimental craft hit him, exploding. Amidst the chaos, he takes its form.
