The myths and legends of Cybertron

1. The Creation of Cybertron: Primus vs. Unicron

According to the most widespread legend, the Transformers universe was born from a primordial battle between two entities: Primus , the embodiment of creation and order, and Unicron , the avatar of chaos and destruction.

To trap Unicron, Primus transformed himself into a planet: Cybertron. Unicron did the same and became a colossal mechanical world. Their cosmic duel marked the fate of all mechanical civilizations.

Even today, Transformers revere this story as their sacred Genesis.

2. The Thirteen Primes: the founding gods

The Thirteen Primes , Primus's first children, are the quintessential mythological figures. Each Prime embodies a sacred ability, a fragment of the creator's will.

Among the best known:

• Prima – the first leader to carry the Matrix.
• Vector Prime – guardian of time and dimensions.
• Onyx Prime – master of bestial forms.
• Solus Prime – creator of sacred artifacts.
• Megatronus – the traitor, later named “The Fallen”.

Their legacy can be found everywhere: in artifacts, in Cybertronian culture, and even in the bloodlines of Optimus Prime .

At the heart of the myths lie objects of immense power, often forged by Solus Prime. These artifacts have survived millions of years and still influence modern warfare.

• The Star Saber – a legendary sword capable of cleaving through eons.
• The Requiem Blaster – a destructive cosmic weapon.
• The twelve Prime relics – scattered across the galaxies.
• The Spark by Primus – sacred essence of creation.

Each artifact is both a treasure and a danger, capable of deciding the fate of a world.

4. The Titans: Sleeping Mechanical Deities

The Titans are colossal mythological creatures, living cities capable of traveling through space. Created by the Primes, they served as sacred outposts and divine weapons.

Among the legendary Titans:

These gigantic beings sleep in the depths of Cybertron, awaiting the call of a worthy leader.
