"(voiceover; via transmission and narration) At the dawn of time, there was our gracious and powerful creator, Primus. To protect our universe, he sacrificed his life force, transforming himself into our planet, Cybertron. From within Cybertron’s core, Primus birthed the first Transformers known as the Primes, the most powerful Transformers, appointed to lead and protect future generations. To assist them, Primus created an entity of great power, the Matrix of Leadership. [...] With the Matrix in the Primes’ possession, Cybertron’s natural power source, Energon, flowed in abundance, sustaining life across the planet. [...] For generations, there was peace and prosperity, until the Matrix of Leadership was lost, causing Energon to no longer flow."
