      That's not guaranteed. If Bumblebee is anything to go by, the newer films would rather stick to ignoring many of the interesting concepts introduced in the previous film in favor of telling the same recycled narrative of the war on Cybertron.
      What made the previous films unique is that they showed the carnage of what happens when you bring the war to OUR world.

    I always enjoyed the mystery around the movie Allspark. An issue of the UK comic sticks in my mind where Ironhide is found by Elder Gods who claim to have made it - only for that to be an illusion made by some chancing aliens. But that concept, that there is no explicit origin for the object and so you're moved to make up your own is really evocative.

      But then what’s the core of cybertron? It’s shaped as a spark. Perhaps Primus split his spark in three? Part of his spark went to the matrix, the life giving part became the Allspark, and the rest stayed at the core and kept cybertron alive.

    Between this video and HBomberguy’s “Transformers Midlife Crisis,” I’ve really been rethinking the whole Primus/Unicron/origin of Transformers storytelling angle from different directions. While I used to really like the Primus origin, I’ve since come to appreciate how the IDW universe plays with the idea of myth and religion.
    What if Primus and Unicron WEREN’T gods? Or at least not gods in the way we think of them? What if they WERE just as powerful and godlike...but rather than divine overseers...were simply the last members of some Lovecraftian race of planet-sized entities that are barely even aware of the smaller life forms that scamper about? What if Primus didn’t even INTEND to create the Transformers? They were just an accidental byproduct of the energies his body naturally created? They came to worship him as a god and then...he’s not even fully aware of them? He operates in a totally different, unknowable level? And so does Unicron? That’s so much more interesting in a narrative sense...

    My head canon:
    Cybertron: Primus's temporary body
    Vector Sigma: Primus's temporary laser-core for storage and temporary bodies,
    The All-Spark: Primus's Spark, pure energy/data.
    -(By my view, the "All Spark Cube" in the first movie was actually Vector Sigma. The TRUE Allspark was the energy inside that got transferred to The Matrix as outlined in this video. In truth, whatever holds The Allspark becomes Vector Sigma. This means that in some continuities, such as the original G1 cartoon, Vector sigma is its own thing, in others, such as the movies post Revenge of the Fallen, The Matrix is both Matrix and Allspark. Through specific story points, it may even be a character. Examples of this would be Sam Witwicky throughout most of Revenge of the Fallen, and Optimus then temporarily Buster Witwicky in the G1 US comics when The Allspark was software referred to as "The Creation Matrix")
    The Matrix: Primus's "Final" laser-core. As all sparks come from "The All Spark", all sparks come from Primus himself. As The Matrix collects the Sparks of deceased transformers, it would be logical to assume that eventually all Transformer sparks will be in The Matrix, reforming into a completed Primus. Once this happens, he will gain the collected wisdom of all his children, both Autobot and Decepticon, at which point, "All are one", and that one is Primus 2.0

    • @AustynSN
      @AustynSN 4 года назад

      @@knockdown3620 In my mind, Vector Sigma, which is part of Cybertron, which is Primus's current/temporary body would be his laser-core. (Laser-Core being the term from gen 1 for the hardware that held a transformers mind and personality, retconned in my own and most modern head canon as being the hardware that holds a transformers spark.)
      My fan-fiction level head canon is that the designation "Vector Sigma" applies to which ever container holds The Allspark, which is Primus's spark. If the Allspark is moved from a core super-computer on Cybertron to "The Cube" to "The Matrix", then the title of "Vector Sigma" moves from the core of Cybertron, then to the cube, then to The Matrix.
      Primus essentially splits his soul into millions upon millions of tiny pieces which each experience their own life. When that piece dies, it merges with The Matrix. When all pieces have collected in The Matrix, then Primus awakens at full power in that universe. He may awaken in lesser states, such as by using Cybertron as a body, but it's insignificant compared to his full power. Unicron seeks to destroy or corrupt The Matrix because doing so leaves Primus disassembled with no hope of fully reforming in that Universe.
      If a Matrix cycle is completed within a universe, and Primus reforms, then that Primus is linked to a multiversal Primus over-mind, which gains greater power within the mulitiverse itsself. This is how I view Primus as being a multiversal singularity.
      Holy crap, I think I've just given more thought to the religion of fictional alien robots than most people do to their own beliefs....

    Aligned continuity has the best interpretation, where they are each aspects of Primus. Vector Sigma being a repository of all knowledge stored as energy, matrix of leadership being a portion of Primus' spark and the Allspark being the life giving energy of Primus, sealed away from megatron
    Crazy how the allspark's vessel could've been used to trap Unicron eons ago if alpha trion had thought to forge it

  • @guyperson754
    @guyperson754 4 года назад +6

    My take on the Allspark:
    I like to think of it as Primus’ own spark, and it being the source of all other sparks and energon, the same way Unicrons spark was the source of his blood dark energon. Basically the whole thing of the Allspark is to Unicrons essence what energon is to dark energon. Primus never fully awakened from the core of Cybertron because his spark was willingly shattered so that the fragments could become future Cybertronians, leaving only the nonphysical spirit behind as the Allspark. If Unicron ever did the same, he might have created his own race of transformers but at the cost of not being able to physically influence the world around him. As for the other two, I like to think of the Matrix of Leadership as what you said, the vessel for the wisdom of the original Primes, and whoever is deemed worthy of carrying it is a true Prime and not just in name or rank. I also think that the small shard of crystal in it is either the collective sparks of the original thirteen or is the last largest piece of Primus’ spark. Vector Sigma would in this vain be the hub of history, culture, records, and knowledge and could either be a creation of Alpha Trion or it is Primus’ brain module.
    Anyway, this is just my headcanon for the Aligned continuity, and I try not to go into new Transformers media thinking this is set in stone.

    I think it's important to note that in the live action movies all modern technology was derived from studying Megatron. While there's no proof that that's why Earth's technology was able to come to life it seems like the kind of thing the writers wouldn't have put in if it wasn't important. That said, not every loose thread in those movies is explored, so I could be finding meaning where there is none

    Although I grew up on Gen 1, the "Beast Era" of Transformers is my fav. Not only because it focused on animal-based forms (since I've always been interested in animals as a kid), but also because it introduced a lot of good new ideas & concepts (which endure til today, & continue to be expounded & expanded upon). While I like the artifacts to be connected, I believe they should be separate (yet being able to be merged into a single, ALL-POWERFUL "Relic"). The notion that each artifact should have its own distinctive shape & powers is a great one. Making the artifacts somewhat like the Triforce would be ideal. There being 3 macguffins that have to be collected & then combined into a single,
    all-powerful item, would make for more compelling stories.
