Fiction

Macrocosmic Seekers

Millions of years before 2010, the Seeker was a Quintesson, one of many using the Transformers they created as slaves. The Seeker was unique among his race in that he saw the potential for evolution and the impeding freedom of the Transformers. Mocked for his beliefs and fearing the robot rebellion, the Seeker left his race behind. He then became engrossed in the task of collecting all there was to know about the Universe. In the process, he shed his body and his consciousness became one with the data. He eventually returned to his home galaxy and discovered that, true to his predictions, the Transformers had evolved beyond their original status. Four—Galvatron, Cyclonus, Scourge, and Rodimus Prime—in particular interested the Seeker due to their evolution at the hands of greater forces—Unicron and the Matrix of Leadership.
