Fiction

Generation 2

At the madness of Liege Centuro Jhiaxus escalated, his assistant Rook worried for the future of their empire. Once Jhiaxus had departed for the Twilight, Rook opened up communication with the Hub, wishing to speak to the Liege Maximo about Jhiaxus's rage. Dark Shadows!

Soon, as Jhiaxus and Optimus Prime fought within the Twilight as it was being consumed by the Swarm, the Liege Centuro claimed that he had been promised a place at the Hub. Unfortunately, Optimus and the rest of his Autobot/Decepticon throw-backs had ruined everything, denying Jhiaxus this honor.

Once Jhiaxus and his army were consumed by the Swarm and the "throwbacks" prevailed, Rook himself traveled to the Hub where he had been granted an audience with the Liege Maximo. The Liege Maximo told Rook not to worry, for despite the losses that day, Jhiaxus's army was but the tip of the iceberg. Evil... is infinite! A Rage in Heaven!

Alignment

Alignment is an unofficial, non-canon novella, but is considered enlightening in determining authorial intent regarding specific story elements left otherwise undeveloped in official materials.

The Hub had long been performing a complex operation through successive iterations, its accuracy improving as planets were added to the network. Inhabiting it were a wide variety of mechanical organisms, beings that might have once been Decepticons, but had been advanced to the point of having multiple forms and reduced to a hive mentality, little more than extensions of the Liege Maximo's will. The goal of this operation was to allow the Liege Maximo to ascend to the realm of the Dark Gods. At a critical moment this operation was disrupted on two fronts by a small group of Autobots led by Grimlock and an alliance of Decepticons and Autobots led by Ultra Magnus and a resurrected Megatron. Megatron actually managed to wound his ancestor before perishing, which caused the Liege Maximo to panic and attempt to enter the portal prematurely. It collapsed, destroying him. The resolution of this threat led to the signing of the Pax Cybertronia and the end of the Great War. Alignment
