Unlike essentially every religion, this relic actually eliminates the need to believe (at least in regards to an afterlife) since the Matrix of Leadership is actual proof that an afterlife exists.Īnd, yes, there are atheists, and, yes, there is a Transformers equivalent to the Big Bang theory that describes how the universe expanded from an initial state of extremely high density and temperature. However, a select few who are tasked with carrying the Matrix of Leadership, a conduit for the power of Primus, do not lose themselves within the Allspark so they can wield the artifact if they ever need to guide visitors entering and leaving their realm. While every spark brings back the experiences of their Transformer during its lifetime, the individuality of every Cybertronian is lost when their spark returns. This spark will later return upon the Transformers’ death to the swirling essence of Primus to transfer all of the experiences and feelings of the deceased robotic being into what is known as the “Wisdom of the Ages,” which is basically a massive database. Within this swirling mass of sparks, one spark will essentially depart during the birth of a Transformer to enter and, in turn, grant life to the lifeless robotic form, which will then be sent to the realm of the living.
Incidentally, this afterlife also serves as the place where every Transformer is born. Known as the Matrix, Allspark, the Well of All Sparks or the Afterspark, the Transformers’ afterlife is the living essence of Primus that takes the shape of a swirling mass of a seemingly endless amount of sparks flying through the cosmos, much like how stars make up a galaxy. (It’s possible that Unicron became evil due to the jealousy that undoubtedly came as a result of his brother’s omnipresence.) In the latter retelling, both Primus and Unicron might be mere emissaries, but Primus can somehow exist simultaneously across multiple universes, where his death would herald the end of all existence, while Unicron can only be in one universe at a time and his death would mean the end of nothing, except himself. These diverging mythos include that Unicron and Primus are merely two of a whole host of other gods, are last surviving members of their kin, are the only gods that have ever existed or are the creations of “The One” who sent them out into the void to explore the cosmos. Throughout the Marvel comics continuity, lore has always spoken of Primus and Unicron, but their status, as well as the number of other celestial beings in existence, differ depending on who is telling the story.
