"Eons ago, the All Spark brought life to our Cybertron. It was the heart of the planet; it was creation and sustenance. It gave birth to each of us and for many millennia, all our kind knew was peace – in part due to the rule of Lord High Protector Megatron and his brother, Optimus Prime. Side by side, they guarded Cybertron and watched over us all.
"Until one day when Lord Megatron and Prime ceased sharing the same ideals. Prime had grown too soft and was no longer willing to do what was necessary for Cybertron's sake; however, Lord Megatron could see what was happening. He knew the power of the All Spark was needed to save Cybertron and understood that it would have to be harnessed. He was willing to take it if need be and Prime, blinded by his overgrown sense of compassion, opposed him.
"So began the war for the All Spark. It raged for centuries, those of us loyal to Lord Megatron and his cause fighting to claim the All Spark from Prime's rabble of supporters, who had stolen it from its proper resting place and secreted it away. This culminated at last in the Battle of Tyger Pax, where we faltered despite claiming the upper hand early on. While many Autobots paid for their stupidity and misplaced bravado with their lives, they also managed to launch the All Spark into space because we had underestimated how far they were willing to go simply to keep it out of Lord Megatron's hands. He refused to be thwarted and followed it off world; both vanished some time after.
"Meanwhile, Cybertron was dying without the All Spark to sustain it. The war had lost all point without Lord Megatron's guidance and we, our drive to continue the fight. So Starscream, Lord Megatron's lieutenant, ordered search parties to depart in pursuit of Lord Megatron. My original unit was disbanded, my former squad mates going with Starscream while I was sent with another group. All parties left on our hunt and Cybertron was abandoned. Centuries more passed fruitlessly with nothing being found. Not even the slightest trace. It was as though both Lord Megatron and the All Spark had utterly vanished.
"Then word came that Starscream's group had at last found signs of Lord Megatron. Those of us scattered across the galaxy waited for further news and our patience was rewarded when, finally, we were told that Lord Megatron had been tracked down to a small planet called Earth. I broke away from my contingent and left to rejoin my former squad mates and Starscream in hopes of once again standing at our leader's side.
"The search continued on Earth, the squad divided with Barricade and Frenzy seeking the location of the All Spark while Blackout and Scorponok continued the hunt for Lord Megatron. I, Brawl, and Bonecrusher were left in reserve until such time as we were needed. Some years later, that time came; Frenzy alerted us to Lord Megatron's location and we mobilised.
"Beyond this point, I have nothing else to tell."
