Fiction

2005 IDW continuity

Some 600,000 years ago, Shockwave foresaw a time when Cybertron would be drained of all its resources. To ensure a future for his race, he created thirteen self replicating energon ores and launched them at thirteen distant planets to grow. Shockwaves The missile containing the Ore-1 sample would land on LV-117, a planet that, unbeknownst to Shockwave, possessed a connection to Vector Prime. The Crucible The First Who Was Named Ceremony

In late 2012, Shockwave had Turmoil collect a sample of Ore-1. Owing to the Ore's properties, Turmoil's group made planetfall thousands of years in the past and enslaved the native populace to mine the Ore for him. Though he was forced to contend with Orion Pax, Turmoil ultimately retrieved the Ore-1 necessary and left the planet. Syndromica (2)

To enact his master plan, Shockwave married Ore-1 with Ore-13 to grant him control of all time in the universe. When all assembled ores were merged through his chronal drive, Shockwave sought to use them to collapse all of time and space into raw fuel for Cybertron. The Becoming This combination allowed for Shockwave's homegrown singularity to warp time as well as space, sending him hurtling twelve million years into the past when it collapsed. The First Who Was Named

In late 2017, the Prysmosian sorcerer Merklynn unleashed the energies of the Talisman within Cybertron, causing nearly half of the planet's energon reserves to be beamed off into space in the form of a communication signal that roused Unicron from his slumber. First Strike #6 Drawn to LV-117 by the remaining stockpile of Ore-1, Unicron began devouring the planet to assimilate the Ore's power. On a similar mission to Turmoil's, Jhiaxus's group made planetfall around the time Unicron arrived. In the last stop of his temporal journey, Orion Pax arrived in 2018 where he used the control device for the Regenesis missile to return to his own time before Unicron devoured the planet. Though the cause remained unknown, the properties of Ore-1 allowed the Transformers of 2012 to note that LV-117 had been destroyed. Syndromica (2) Our Darkest

When the timeline caught up with Pax, now calling himself Optimus Prime once again, he realized that Unicron had targeted LV-117 for the Ore-1 and would target others Cybertronian affiliated planets to increase his power. Our Darkest
