TRANSFORMERS SERIES BIBLE

In addition, the former inhabitants of Cybertron had the ability to TRANSFORM themselves
into their previous robotic forms and back again--at will. (This power of transformation was not
unknown on their planet, but these new, Earth-related forms were.)

Once again functioning and free of their ship, the Decepticons grouped in battle formation and
loosed their combined firepower on the Autobots still inside the volcano. Teletraan I, although
weakened and running on low power threshold, managed to raise her defensive shields and blunted,
one more time, the force of the attack. The Decepticon leader revealed to his forces that their energy
levels were dangerously weakened, making them unable to mount a strong offensive. His forces
regrouped to search for a new power source--energy to fuel themselves and to destroy the enemy.

The Decepticons found Earth rich in the very fuel sources they so desperately needed. Unlike on
Cybertron, where there no pristine resources, this planet was rich in coal and oil, oceans, a mineral-
crust and a molten metal core. With Decepticon control of Earth, it would spell doom for the Autobots
and all other peace-loving civilizations of the universe.
