The Random Transformers Thoughts Thread

[Paulbot]

As we all know, AoE explains that the Transformers were created by the Creators* who seeded planets to create the basic metals to make the Transformers to serve their purposes. Pretty much like the Quintessons. Yet the first movie established the Transformers' origin as being somewhat more divine, springing from the AllSpark Cube (whether it was created by Primus himself or not; the movie states, "We know not where it came from").

So do these two origin stories contradict each other? Certainly wouldn't be the first time that events in the live action movie universe have contradicted each other. Or is there a simple way to make these stories fit? Could the AllSpark have also been created by the Creators?

*A name even more epic than 'Transformium.'

Seems like you could use a variation on those old theories to combine the Primus and Quintesson origins:

The Creators found, rather than created, the AllSpark, and saw they could use it to bring creatures made out of transformium () to life as slaves/tools/items to sell etc.

Despite living for very long times, Transformers get very forgetful about their origins in every universe. Everything becomes creation myths.
