2005 IDW continuity

Ore-10 was created by the Decepticon scientistShockwaveas part of hisRegenesisproject.Shockwaves

While most of the Regenesis ores were seeded on planets connected to theThirteen Primes,Ore-10 was associated withVigilem/Carcer,theTitanwho served as a mobile prison for the disgraced member of the Thirteen known as theLiege Maximo.The Lost Colonies of Cybertron

At an unspecified point—in the guise of "Onyx Prime"—Shockwave used the ore in conjunction with supplies ofOre-1andOre-9to reprogram the TitanMetrotitan,sending him through time and space to perpetuate the lie thatStarscreamwas the "Chosen One."The Hallowing

Notes

• Unicron#6provided a chart that explicitly associated Ore-10, the ore of Deception, with the Liege Maximo, the Prime of Lies, and his Titan,Vigilem.However, Vigilem was not based on a colony world, but functioned as a starship constantly moving through space. It seems implausible then that Shockwave could have (1) targeted Carcer with a Regenesis ore missile, (2) that an Ore could take root on a Titan, and (3) that the Carcerians would not have noticed being hit by the Regenesis missile or violent Maximals arriving to collect the Ore from the ship. Perhaps an actual colony world associated with Liege Maximo exists, which Carcer abandoned, that was home to the Deception Ore. Or perhaps Shockwave really did accomplish the convoluted and unlikely sequence of events suggested above. Shockwave is the original "Wizard who did it", after all.
