Cybertron Pantheon

The Cybertronian Pantheon
The Cybertronian Pantheon is a several tiered system of Gods and Legendary Figures.


Tier 1: The Vok
The Vok are unknown to most of the universe, mysterious energy beings that were created by the Big Bang. They hold supreme power over life itself, but are confined to the Center of the Universe. The Center is the original location of the Big Bang, and the Vok can only exist within its still expanding radius.

Trapped in such a small part of a massive universe, and with an urge to create, the Vok created the Quintesson. The Quintesson followed the orders of the Vok, and travelled the universe.

The Vok are incredibly powerful, capable of destroying or reviving anything of their choosing. Their power is not only beyond mortals, but also beyond the level of other gods and demi-gods. Most powerful, ancient artifacts from across the universe are embowed with a mere sliver of the Vok’s power. This includes items such as the Matrix of Leadership, the Ark of the Covenant, and even the All-Spark itself.

Appearance wise, the Vok have no visible bodies, simply appearing as floating balls of energy. There are only five known Vok in existence, each represented by a different color, green, blue, red, orange, and yellow. They can take on forms of any imaginable creature in the universe, and even creatures that don’t exist as well. However, these forms are merely illusions.

This ability is mostly used to fend off intruders to the Center, and has such spawned legends of ancient evil lurking within. The Vok, being gods, are invincible, and have no known weaknesses.


Tier 2: The Quintesson
The Quintesson were drones created by the Vok. Granted the knowledge of creation, each of the five Quintesson travelled throughout the new galaxy, and started the process of creating life, ultimately creating the four most prolific species throughout the known universe.

Each Quintesson represents a different state of mind. These include death, wisdom, rage, joy, and judgement. Despite their drone status, each Qunitesson is considered a unique being, with different identities and personalities. These consist of Mortemax, Sabidron, Senson, Zeeyu, and Dikasta.

Mortemax is considered a God of Death amongst most of the universe, but he was ultimately the most peaceful of the Quintesson. While his skull-like face and ravaged body were threatening, the rare few of those who have encountered Mortemax have claimed him to be quiet and contemplative. He created Cybertronians, after posing a query of whether or not life could exist without organic material.

Sabidron, the Quintesson of Wisdom, is considered one of the more arrogant of the gods. He holds knowledge of nearly everything in the universe in his large brain, and is far more interested in finding more than creating life. He created the Slizards, out of obligation, and to aid him on his quest for more knowledge.

Senson, the Quintesson of Rage. The most dangerous of the five, a being that craves destruction, but finds himself unable to destroy anything because of his allegiance. A terrifying monster that few have met and survived. He created the Skuxxoids, a warmongering race, to fulfill his needs for death and chaos.

Zeeyu, the Quintesson of Joy. The most amicable of the Quintesson, Zeeyu is considered a trickster god by most. He has a love of cuisine from around the universe. It is implied that he made a species in legend, but said species has not been found yet.

Dikasta, the Quintesson of Judgement. Obsessed with the concepts of good and evil, and is the only one of the Quintesson to have a presence for a long time after he created his species. That being the Sectons, who control the largest intergalactic jury in the universe.

It is unknown if the Quintessons are unique from their Vok creators, or if they are merely the Vok’s chosen forms.


Tier 3 – Primus & Unicron
Primus and Unicron were the first creations of Mortemax. Two planet sized beings, one built to consume, the other to create. Primus is, among most Cybertronians, considered the direct creator of themselves, with the Quintesson regarded as the creator of all life.

The closest Earth equivalent of Primus and Unicron would be the relationship between the Christian God and Satan. The only difference is that Primus and Unicron are physical beings, each disguised as a planet.

Legends say that Primus attempted to follow his creator’s goals, to create new life from machines but was confronted by his brother. Unicron, who detested the concept of life, argued with his brother, and tried to prove to him how destruction was best. The two fought for eons, ravaging a large section of the universe, before Primus struck the final blow, blasting Unicron to the edge of the universe itself.

With the final blow, Primus had drained most of his energy, and entered stasis. Unconscious, Primus began to activate his inner mechanisms, eventually granting life to his planet sized body. He became known as Cybertron in this state, and still sleeps to this day.

Unicron, however, was left merely drained, but not non-functional. His carnivorous planet mode started to travel through the universe, devouring anything that got in his way to his brother. Cybertronians are aware of this, but this is merely regarded as a myth by most. Either way, Unicron is considered the absolute destructor of the universe.


Tier 4 – The Thirteen Primes
The first thirteen Cybertronians formed from Primus’ innards. Each was granted a unique artifact, and shaped how Cybertronian society was to be.

Prima was the very first. Unable to transform, Prima was a very simple model, but was granted immense knowledge and wisdom. He was considered the leader of the Thirteen, and was that for a very long time. He was eventually killed by Pyronus Prime in his attempted takeover.

Vector Prime, Keeper of Time and Space, and the very first Transformer.
Solus Prime, Forger of Artifacts, and the first female Cybertronian.
Micronus Prime, the first Minicon.
Onyx Prime, the first Beastformer.
Pyronus Prime, the first armor bearer, also known as The Fallen.
Nexus Prime, the first Combiner.
Amalgamous Prime, the first Triple Changer.
Maximus Prime, the first Citybot, whose body is used as the capital of Cybertron.
Parasitus Prime, the first Titan Master.
Furtimus Prime, the first Pretender.
Duonus Prime, the first Splitter.
Aikonus Prime, the first Godmaster, who was lost too early for his technology to pass on.



Tier 5 – The Prime Leaders
Based on the legends, Cybertronians started calling their leaders Primes. Leaders are granted the Matrix of Leadership, a special crystal capable of granting special powers unto those who earn them.

The first Prime Leader has been lost to history, and has been referred to by most scholars as “Prima”, in reference to the first of the Thirteen. All that is known is that he was a powerful warrior, though his tenure was very brief in the annals of history.

The second Prime Leader, and one of the longest reigning, losing out only slightly to the 6th Prime, was Grimlock Prime. A fearsome warrior, and powerful leader, Grimlock is the only Beastformers in history to have gained the Matrix. He was overthrown after thousands of years of rule, considered a tyrant by the generation that defeated him.

Up next was Thunderus Prime, another savage warrior, and the one to overthrow Grimlock. Some don’t consider him a true Prime Leader, as the legends don’t make it clear whether he earned the Matrix, or simply stole it. He died a rather undignified death, one the laser scrolls don’t go into much detail on.

Alpha Prime was the fourth. Alpha Prime, while an accomplished warrior, was also very intelligent. He used his reign to advance Cybertron’s technology. This period is one of the most prized in Cybertronian history, but ended with yet another uprising, this time from the newly created Decepticons. Shortly before his death, Alpha Prime had declared himself an Autobot.

Megatronus Prime, another important figure in history, even if not for the right reasons. He was the founder of the Decepticons, and attempted to rule Cybertron as a dignified dictator rather than a tyrant. His reign was considered the darkest in Cybertronian history, resulting in Megatronus’ name being stripped from documents, only referred to as The Fallen, in a mocking reference to Pyronus Prime.

Zeta Prime, Prime leader number six. Zeta held the total longest reign of all the primes, due to his amazing political knowledge. He managed to create an “equal” world for Autobots and Decepticons, at least in his own mind. This equality resulted in Decepticons being stripped of their freedom, and forced to mine and fight in gladiatorial battles. Zeta Prime, oddly enough, died of natural causes.

Sentinel Prime was rather unlucky, as he became Prime at the very start of the first Autobot/Decepticon War, and managed to lead the Autobots to victory through his charisma and stratagems, despite being overwhelmingly outnumbered by the Decepticon’s new automated drones. He managed to mentor a young warrior, Orion Pax, during the tail end and brief peace between the war and the second Autobot/Decepticon War. He was one of the first casualties.

Optimus Prime is the latest Prime leader, becoming one very shortly after the second war started. Optimus was tasked with not only protecting the few remaining Autobots, but also the entire planet of Cybertron from destruction. A righteous soul, it is unknown where Optimus’ leadership will go, but there is no doubt it will be grand.


Tier 6 – The Knights of Unicron
Despite Unicron’s immense power, and distain for life, he realized how futile his attack on the universe would be without heralds. As such, he created 13 of the most fearsome warriors in the known galaxy, loosely inspired by his brother’s own creations.

Galvatronus, the first of the Knights, unable to transform, but a highly deadly warrior.
Shokaract, the first of the Knights to be able to transform.
Helter-Skelter, the only female Transformer of the Knights.
Dead End, Unicron’s own Minicon, forming into a small battle orb.
Monstructor, a monstrous Beastformer.
The Fallen, traitorous Prime, armed with a new suit of power armor.
Ruination, a destructive Combiner.
Sixshot, a ninja warrior with 6 different forms.
Hydratron, a Citybot used as a main base of operations, capable of travelling through space.
Black Zarak, a Titan Master who uses the body of the powerful Scorponok.
Thunderwing, a reincarnation of Thunder Prime, and a Pretender.
Black Shadow, a Splitter.
Overlord, the last remaining Godmaster.
