Countless Eons Ago. . . .
I was born. My spark took light. And with that I began to slowly grow and learn alongside the numerous 'children' growing up alongside me. Time isn't something that can be accurately judged by human standard but I do know many life-times would pass before I emerged from those 'budding fields' having been a byproduct of my mother. I existed as my proto-form for many years as I'd learn about the society and politics at play on Cybertron. Though, young or perhaps because of it; I found myself increasing drawn to the words of the great liberator Megatronus or as he'd soon be called Megatron. Just because we weren't born earlier or with the name Prime did not mean that we did deserve freedom and a basic dignity. I would also follow the teachings of Orion Pax around this time but found his rhetoric to be a bit too soft handed.
I Was There. . .
When Orion no, Optimus Prime usurped Megatron's place as speaker before the ancient ones even being bestowed the vaunted title of Prime. While it was true I wasn't close or privy to the true details who else but a blind bot could not see the betrayal. And Megatron's actions after only solidified this idea as Megatron became much more darker and violent. I wanted to stick by the ideals that were being taught to us; those who would become the backbone of the future Decepticon forces but I didn't think full-scale warfare on Cybertron was smart. After all, even the least informed bot could see how short Energon reserves were becoming. I'd even heard rumors of Bots recycling the left-over Energon from deceased bots for survival.
I Fled. . .
When things became unavoidably bad and Cybertron's fall was imminent; I like many of my species would flee for new horizons within the stars. The Decepticons no longer fought for Cybertron or for the freedom of Bots; the Autobots were too worried about morality and appearing good-natured to really do anything as well. I decided upon taking the alternate form of a Cybertronian Jet that I would strike out on my own to find a new place for Bots who hadn't lost the original ideals of Megatronus. Over the years, I'd become familiar with combat and war having to deal with being a rogue towards both political sides. I'd watch from afar as both men I once respected began further and further from what I originally believed them to be.
I Miscalculated. . .
What could such a relatively young Bot without any friends or back-up do alone during war-times? I was foolish enough to find out as I found myself ruthlessly pursued by a few of the remnant Decepticon forces. After all, some would consider me a traitor regardless of whether I ever truly joined or not. My hubris would result in me being shot down above a rather interesting looking planet which my preliminary scans suggest may be called Earth. It was a planet consisting of large land-masses with even larger oceans encompassing everything. Due to a well-timed shot; I found myself buried under mountains of ice and snow before I could realize what was going on.
I've Awakened?
A dripping noise and the right circumstances saw too it that my spark returned to me. I'm unaware of how much time has passed since I've crashed here but I could easily see the world has changed around me. Further scans have shown that the native dominant lifeforms were called humans and they've been quite busy in the relatively small amount of years I lost signal. What further surprised me were the traces of Autobot and Decepticon activity that could be faintly observed if one knew what to look and listen for. But upon discovering a small Energon mine; I knew why my people had come to this planet or at least had an idea. They were going to bring the war that destroyed their home to these human's home. I don't know how I feel about that but I do know I refuse to let my people repeat this destructive cycle.
