Approx. 13 billion stellar cycles ago:

Primus imprisons himself and Unicron within the core of a barren planetoid orbiting within a planetary nebula in the proto-Milky Way Galaxy, both weakened and separated from their energy forms, their Heralds and their armies. For thousands of years as they recover their strength, the planetary nebula around them begins to coalesce into a star system of planets and moons, with their prison accreting planetary material as the eons pass. This star system would be known as the Hadean System (also known as the Shaula System), with Primus's and Unicron's planetary prison becoming the fourth planet that orbits its star.

As the two gods' strength recovers, their energies react with the minerals forming within the planet, producing crystalline energon deposits that grow and spread throughout their prison, giving them a dim awareness of their surroundings.

Approx. 12.7 billion stellar cycles ago:

After eons of searching the universe, Primon discovers his creator's prison, drawn by the growing signal of Primus's energon signature. He summons the Primus Vanguard and the rest of the Covenant's armies from across the universe to join him, recognizing Unicron's dark energon signature within the planet that also imprisons Primus.

Alerted by the Covenant's reunification, the Servants of Unicron converge on the prison of the two brothers to rescue their master, engaging their opposite numbers in combat. Their titanic battle is enough to shake the entire Hadean System and destroy entire worlds. With Primon and the Primus Vanguard leading them on the frontlines, the fighting forces of the Covenant battle against the heralds of the Chaos-Bringer as they protect the caverns leading to the fourth planet's core to prevent their enemies from freeing Unicron. Eventually, the Covenant cemented themselves warriors of legendary status by vanquishing the Servants of Unicron once and for all. The few surviving Servants led by Primacron, both outnumbered and outmatched, surrender to the Covenant and are stripped of their dark cosmic powers by Primon, forced to live out the rest of their pitiful existence like mortal lifeforms that they so hated. Using his great strength, Leonicus exiles the remaining Servants on a nearby metallic planetoid called Protos and launches them out of the Hadean System, drifting in deep space until Protos stops in the galactic center where it's trapped by the gravitational field of the ancient planet Methuselah, becoming its sole moon.

With their enemies finally defeated, the Covenant descend into the planet's underground, going through seemingly endless tunnels until they reach the core, where they find Primus's AllSpark and Unicron's Anti-Spark trapped within. They are able to make contact with Primus through the AllSpark, who congratulates them for their victory over the Servants of Unicron. He then explains to them that while Unicron is neutralized for the moment, he fears that he'll eventually regain his strength and escape from his prison in order to continue his plans of universal destruction. He then reveals to them his Grand Plan, stating that he'll use the AllSpark's life-giving powers to create a new species that'll serve in his stead as the universe's last line of defense against the Chaos-Bringer if he ever escaped from his prison. Before going hibernation within the planet's core, Primus tasks the Covenant to teach his Children about their world and help them thrive while he reshapes his prison into a living world.
