Transformers Beyond: Legendarium [Currently Being Edited]

Prologue: The Theomachy (Cybertronian Creation Myth)

Quick Disclaimer: I don't own Transformers, it is owned by Hasbro and TakaraTomy and any affiliated companies. This is nothing more than a fanfiction piece made for entertainment purposes for Transformers fans, by Transformers fans. I hope you guys enjoy it! Please support the official release!

Author's Notes: Hi, everybody! Dakaueze here, and this is my first entry in my own Transformers series--Transformers Beyond: Legendarium. Legendarium is basically a summary of the background lore/information for my own Transformers series, Transformers Beyond. I will be writing it like The Silmarillion where its written in a pseudo-historical text/myth sort of way. Actual character dialogue will be minimal.

The source of information in this series comes from all across the Transformers franchise, mostly from the Marvel Comics Generation 1 continuity that started it all, the Japanese G1 cartoon continuity, the original IDW Generation 1 continuity that ran from 2005 to 2018, the Unicron Trilogy (consisting of Armada, Energon, and Cybertron), the live-action "Bayformers" movie franchise (particularly the first five movies), Transformers Animated, and the Aligned continuity.

Also, expect a LOT of name drops in this series.

Legendarium has been largely inspired by DeviantArt User Nagillim's Cybertronian Timeline: https://www.deviantart.com/nagillim/art/Cybertronian-Timeline-478931721

"In the Beginning, before time properly began, there was only One: The Source and All. An extradimensional entity that acted as the sentient core and lifeforce of the primordial multiverse. We do know where it comes, but it's believed that the One resides in a higher plane of existence that's far beyond our understanding known as the Omniversal Matrix, where omnipotent gods, energy beings who've grown beyond all bounds, roamed the galaxies and coexisted alongside the mortal races of their world, where order and chaos existed in perfect harmony. For an untold time, it existed there in isolation from its fellow cosmic entities, pure and inviolate, but it was sentient and therefore it questioned its own existence, seeking to understand itself, its place in creation, and its purpose. And so, to better understand those things, the One peered outside of the Omniversal Matrix, witnessing the creation of a vast myriad of multiverses where on each of these worlds, the spark of life brought forth beings of infinite varieties and forms of life that were capable of dwelling in all the many corners of these universes. Inspired by these events, the One sought to create a multiverse of its own, where it can fragment itself across its many worlds to experience their myriad struggles and evolutions in order to understand itself and the nature of its very being when these vessels returned to their Source after their mission's completed. And so, it created. This is the chronicle of the events of but one universe...this is the story of the Beyondverse...

"Approximately 15 billion years ago, the prime universe first existed as an ultra-hot fog of hydrogen energy that was smaller than an atom. Then, it expanded and inflated into proper existence in an event that we now call the Big Bang. After a billion years of stellar expansion, galaxies of stars with orbiting planets were created. On several of these new worlds, life gradually evolved thanks to the mysterious life-giving Zodiac Energy, eventually and miraculously bringing forth sentient beings in many shapes and sizes. First among these new lifeforms were beings made of energy such as the Vok race of the Nexus Zero Nebula, who were among the earliest alien civilizations in the universe. Afterwards, organic life evolved through carbon bonding, while mechanical life evolved through the naturally-occurring interaction of gears, levers, and pulleys, dubbed "Atechnogenesis" by scientists. Advanced forms of atechnogenesis sees technology overrun nature as organic lifeforms modify their own bodies with machinery, bringing forth technorganics--lifeforms made up of flesh and metal merged together at the cellular level...
