The Silver Age of Cybertron was a period of time where Cybertron saw peace and prosperity, a precursor to the swashbuckling days of the Golden Age to come in the far future. However, it wouldn't last...

The ancient city-states of Cybertron are united under the aegis and protection of the Cybertronian Commonwealth, governed by Septimus Prime and a Council of Ancients made up of thirteen representatives from each of the planet's major city-states, with Iacon as their capital. Though there are still a few warlords and marauders in the remote corners of Cybertron, the Cybertronian Defense Forces (CDF) had rendered them, for the most part, toothless.

High Circuitmaster Boltax, a friend and former student of Alpha Trion and a member of the Council of Ancients, leaves Iacon to found the Temple of Knowledge near Stanix, along with a group of disciples including his old friends Jhiaxus, Decanus, Rokan, and Tallus. Boltax commissions the creation of the Underbase: a database of all knowledge of the Cybertronian race to be created. Over thousands of ano-cycles, all of the data collected is accumulated into the Temple of Knowledge and Boltax and his disciples integrate themselves with the temple itself, forging a collective hive-mind with his disciples and the Underbase.

Cybertronian archeologists, led by a renowned scientist named Spanner, discover ruined cities within the Oxide Wastes that once belonged to the Ancients, the original inhabitants of Cybertron. In the ruins, Spanner's team find old schematics of the Ancients' Space Bridges and are able to successfully reverse-engineer the technology, allowing the Cybertronians to create their own Space Bridge design. With the Space Bridges, the Cybertronian Commonwealth constructs an interplanetary transport network between Cybertron and the colonies.

Septimus Prime announces that colonization efforts will begin to explore and cyberform uninhabited planets, planetoids, and asteroids beyond the space of the Cybertronian Commonwealth into the wider Milky Way Galaxy. For most of the the next few hundred million years, Cybertronians head out and colonize numerous worlds, developing them as mini-Cybertrons, reflecting and complementing the Patterner designs on the surface of Cybertron. Among the new colonies are Mons Prima, a peaceful organic planet that serves a pilgrimage site for the Commonwealth's greatest warriors and it is also believed to the final resting place for Prima, the very first Cybertronian and the original bearer of the Creation Matrix of Leadership; the desert planet Velocitron, which inhabitants become fixated on more energy efficient designs, slip deeper into their racing obsession as a form of cultural diversion, eventually leading to the colony being nicknamed "the Speed Planet" by space travelers; the distant frontier world of Paradron, a paradise rich with energon and other resources, and gifted with a kind of beauty that couldn't be captured in pictures, allowing the colony to enter a never-ending age of peace and prosperity; the jungle world of Eukaris founded in honor of Onyx Prime, where the colonists claim the wild world unspoiled by civilization as their own and adapted to their harsh environment by adopting beast-like appearances similar to the Maximals and Predacons of old and took great distrust to standard-formers who persecuted them back on their original homeworld; and the terrestrial planet Omnitron, whose inhabitants, a race of diminutive Cybertronians larger than Minicons but still fairly small known as Omnicons, gain the ability to handle and process energon in its raw state, allowing them to convert the element into useful tools and weapons. Not only that the Cybertronians settle on new worlds, but with the advancement of Space Bridge technology, they reestablish contact with most of the original colony worlds such as Arduria, Junkion, Caminus, Gigantion, Neutronia, Lithone, Devisiun, Prion, and Carcer.
