The Thetacons believedSentinel Primeto be a falsePrimeand saw his attempt to bring astarto Cybertron as an act of madness that would destroy their world. The Thetacons set out to stop him and his followers, confronting them at the discovery site of theAllSpark.Sentinel Prime's group held the Thetacons at bay long enough for their plan to follow through and to prove themselves right.
Ironhide took up the role of Thetacon spokesman, acknowledging Sentinel Prime's group to be the superior one. In turn, Sentinel Prime explained that was not what they had been fighting for and that all they wished was for the tribes to reunite into one peaceful race. Ironhide passed this message on to his tribal elders and as a way of expressing gratitude, they promised to build atemplearound the AllSpark.Foundation #1
