TRANSFORMERS SERIES BIBLE
It was in the wide void of space that a battle ensued and ended with both
forces crashing
into a small planet now recognized as Earth. The warring ships impacted
into a live volcano,
ending their battle with a thunderous eruption......followed by four
million years of silence.
In the latter part of the Twentieth Century, the volcano
erupted, releasing the two ships melded
together into a single, twisted mass upon collision and swallowed so long
ago. The earth's
shock waves jarred the ships from their eons-long dormancy and awakened
the Autobot craft's
"brain," TELETRAAN I.
Probing the planet's surface, Teletraan I discovered the
planet was not a desolate one but throbbing
with mechanical activity. Teletraan's self-activating systems began to
rebuild the shattered robonic
bodies aboard the crafts, using the mechanical forms found on this new
planet as models. All
necessary alterations were accomplished in such a way as to preserve the
robot's true, basic natures.
The Autobots, therefore, resemble Earth's peacetime
vehicles of the present day: trailer truck,
Volkswagon, police car, Datsun Z, ambulance, etc. The Decepticons were
reformed into Earth's
deadliest weapons, aircraft, and communication devices.
