Fiction

IDW Generation 1 continuity

Some 200,000 years before the war, Three-of-Twelve was alerted by a "code 113" that a potential "Point One Percenter" — the first for ten generations — had been uncovered at the Thymesis Energon mining facility on Luna 2. Having verified that the spark was indeed viable, Three-of-Twelve rewarded Momus, the site's foreman, by reclassifying him as being "alt mode exempt" then coldly informed the hapless miners who had first uncovered the spark that they had about six hours to live.
