Regenesis
- Regenesis is a secret project from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Regenesis Program was created by Shockwave with the intent of seeding many planets with Energon-derived ores so that, in the distant future, he could harvest them.

Shockwave initiated the Regenesis program over 600,000 years ago, dispatching thirteen rockets, each loaded with a different ore, to thirteen different planets scattered throughout space. The experiment required observation and control if necessary, so Shockwave proceeded to visit the various planets, progressively discovering that each ore had a markedly different effect on each world it had landed upon. Arriving on the planet Arduria 500,000 years ago, Shockwave found that the ore that landed there had created a catastrophic loss of planetary heat that had proven fatal to the natives, but he considered it a learning experience nonetheless.

Ten thousand years ago, Shockwave arrived on the thirteenth world, prehistoric Earth, where the "Ore-13" brought by his rocket had successfully reacted with the local geology to the extent that the planet threatened to become so rich in Energon that its environment could become lethal to Transformers. Shockwave created global dampers that he then injected into the planetary crust to regulate the reaction, allowing the ore to safely develop into Ultra-Energon in the present day. Spotlight: Shockwave
In the present day, Jhiaxus and Bludgeon began a quest to seek out the other worlds that had been touched by Shockwave through Regenesis. Learning of their intent after a battle on Arduria, Orion Pax, Hardhead, Wheelie and Garnak set out to stop them, pursuing them to their first objective in the Lenocinium Velnero system.
