Many years ago, the planet Cybertron was once a golden paradise of hope and electric sheep, robots far advanced than any human could see. They were Cybertronians, for generations these giant robots were slaves to the cruel and cold hearted Quintessons, but in their darkest hour of hope, they rose up and drove away their oppressors and created a new order, a golden age they thought would last for 100 years. But all good things could not last forever, enemies who were once allies. The Autobots championed a Cybertron of enlightenment, compassion and peace to govern, but the Decepticons who viewed other forms of life as inferior and a plague had one goal, peace through tyranny. The civil war that would follow devastated all in its path, draining the planet of its energy, on the edge of extinction both Autobots and Decepticons made plans to leave the planet that was once their home. This is how the story of the Transformers begins. Part 3 of 5 of the Ultimate 80's Universe...
