Nineteen thousand years ago, thePrimesand their warriors arrived on Earth as part of their attempts atharvestingtheSunforenergon.However, they learned it was already inhabited by asmall race of primitive tribal huntersand thus decided not to continue with the task. Despite their decision, one of their number later known asThe Fallenrebelled against his brothers and sought to activate the device and steal the system's sun. This led to a terrible conflict where Transformer fought Transformer and The Fallen fought against the Primes. Before The Fallen could use theMatrix of Leadershipto activate the device, it was stolen by his six brothers. Unable to defeat The Fallen in battle, they decided to sacrifice themselves to hide it, and used their own bodies to form a tomb, the location of which was hidden from all Cybertronians, the Primes fading into history, their only legacy being their descendants, who formed theDynasty of Primes.At some point in the next few thousand years, theSeekerswere sent to find the tomb by The Fallen, but they were unable to locate the Tomb, only learning a single clue: "When dawn alights the dagger's tip, three kings will reveal the doorway". When they failed, he abandoned them and they eventually went into stasis from a lack of energon.

After theAllSparkwas destroyed, a fragment of it was left in the hands ofSam Witwickywhich led to him seeingCyberglyphicsin his mind which were actually coordinates leading to the Tomb of the Primes. Led to an ancient Egyptian temple, they appeared to have reached a dead end until the accidental destruction of the wall by the TwinsMudflapandSkidsled to the discovery of the Tomb. The Matrix however appeared to have turned to dust after all that time. It was revealed the Primes' sparks had survived in some form, communicating with a dead Sam and telling him the Matrix must be earned. With that, they awarded him its power, and told him to fulfill his destiny: to resurrectOptimus Prime.Revenge of the Fallen
