Initiator

The Conduit is an object of great power from the Energon portion of the Unicron Trilogy continuity family.

The Conduit is an ancient relic of some great importance, but in modern day has lost its full potential for one reason or another. Alpha Quintesson and Councillor Avalon intend to make it whole again as it is a key element in their undisclosed plans for Cybertron, Earth and Unicron. The human Kicker may have a connection to the object.

Everything is in place... The initiators, agitators and accelerators in perfect resonating symmetry. Life imitating the flawless machine-tooled precision of this ancient relic. It all comes to this: a pulling together of past present and future... of what we were, what we are, what we sometimes appear to be. What was once undone... catastrophically... now realigned, reimagined. A cosmic conundrum, a solar sleight of hand. The end... masking a new beginning.{{#if:|{{{quote2}}}}}{{#if:Avalon provides the ominous introduction of a story arc that would not be written."Multiplicity, Pt. 2"|Avalon provides the ominous introduction of a story arc that would not be written.{{#if:"Multiplicity, Pt. 2"|, "Multiplicity, Pt. 2"|}}|}}
