Fiction
2005 IDW continuity
The seeds of the Combiner Wars were planted in the era of theThirteenPrimes.With hisEnigma of Combination,Nexus Primecreated theHeadmasters,fusions of his own bipedal followers and the smaller ofOnyx Prime'sMaximals.This was seen by many as the ultimate exemplification of Cybertronian power, with the secrets of combiners being highly coveted. When theFirst Cybertronian Civil Warcame to a close,Nova Primesought to restartPrima's colonization plan with theexpansion,a galaxy spanning Cybertronian empire which he would build through the power of more combiners. As his scientists worked to uncover the secrets of the lost art, none butGalvatronknew that the Enigma was in fact a tangible, mystical artifact. Having slain all the Headmasters, Galvatron had concealed the Enigma, unable to destroy it, and eventually shot it off-world, hoping it would burn up in a distant star. Nonetheless, the mad science ofJhiaxusproduced one combiner,Monstructor,who was brought down byOmega Supreme.Primus: All Good ThingsThe Crucible
In2015,the Enigma of Combination was located on Earth and brought toStarscream.As part of a plan to present himself as the saviour ofCaminus,Starscream used the Enigma to stabilize and enhance the volatileMenasorbefore setting theDecepticonsloose on the unsuspecting colony.First ContactLater using the Enigma to repair and enhanceSuperionso he could defeat Menasor.The Sum and Its Parts
While Cybertron and Caminus had promising initial successes in negotiations (mainly due to the Camiens worshippingOptimus Prime),Prowlhad serious reservations about letting Starscream turn thecoloniesinto the stepping stone for a new empire, havingRattrapspace bridgehim to Cybertron so he could deal with the situation.The Possible LightMuch to Rattrap's contention, Prowl intended to deal with this by havingDevastatordestroy the space bridge network. When Superion tried to bring down the rogue combiner, he found himself outmatched by the brute's sheer strength. Starscream used the Enigma to quickly repair the damagedAerialbotsand draft the nearbyProtectobots(andsome passing bloke) intoDefensor,the two Autobot combiners bringing down the rogue. In the light of so many combiners attacks, Starscream graciously lent one to Caminus, for security's sake of course.Mistakes and Mayhem
Keenly aware that Superion and Defensor were loyal to Optimus Prime and not him, Starscream used the Enigma to incorporateScoopinto Devastator, granting him the combiner's loyalty. Rattrap took advantage of this to stage a prison break,Swindleand Menasor leading the Decepticons back to the space bridge, and stole the Enigma, bringing it to the imprisoned Prowl. At the space bridge, the four combiners grappled, falling through and landing onan alien planet.It was here that a fifth combiner, formed from Optimus Prime's inner retinue,Optimus Maximusarrived to end the fighting.You, Me, and the UniverseAfter Optimus Maximus had centered himself, the fighting carried the combiners across the galaxy, portions of their brawl taking place on each colony world inhabited by Cybertronians before they wound up back in the space bridge chamber, knocking out the Decepticon combiners. As Prowl was still a wanted criminal however, Optimus Maximus was forced to decombine so he could be taken into custody.Windbladewould despairingly note, however, that the conflict had ended with all functional combiners under Starscream's control. On the colonies themselves, the inhabitants had felt the touch of their ancestral homeworld and prepared for the eventual contact.All That Remains
On the spaceborne colony ofCarcer,Elita Oneviewed the combiners as proof of Cybertron being a conquering empire.The Will of the FewArceeviewed the conflict as proof that the Enigma itself should be destroyed before Windblade convinced her that, as she hated having decisions forced onto others, she had no right to unilaterally decide for others. The brief skirmish resulted in the birth ofVictorion,a skirmish everyone agreed to keep secret.An Uneventful Night
