Vector Prime, in the pillar reality that was sealed off from the rest of the multiverse, are the future Cybertronians such as Botanica still in danger from the Dark Matrix creature? Is there anyway to destroy it and safe guard that reality? Or is it fated to be consumed by the Hytherion?
Dear Bothered Botanical,
Millions of years before Botanica's birth, Rodimus Prime delivered a blow to the Dark Matrix creature, shattering its ambition to spread to the multiverse, and it was thought to be destroyed. But as you know, it never ends.
As Matrix energy surged through her, Botanica heard a voice within her: "Take all the Matrix energy for yourself! Absorb it all and become the most powerful being in the universe!" From Matrix-induced memories, she recognized the voice, which belonged to the Dark Matrix creature. Even though she knew it had only a fraction of its original power, Botanica recognized its threat. She channeled the bulk of her energy into the nearby cocoon pods, creating a legion of new Cybertronians, who promptly drew energy from the planet's molten surface, converting it into energon. She transformed into a tree form to contemplate on how to eliminate the Dark Matrix creature. However, she remained in tree form for longer than she realized; once she transformed back, the new Cybertronians had organized themselves into Arborobots and Dendricons and were preparing to wage war over scarce resources on the rapidly-cooling world.
But Botanica had a plan. Much like phytoremediation with plants on ancient Earth, she knew that their plant forms could absorb toxins and transform them into new sources of life-giving energy. After convincing the two factions to join forces, the new Cybertronians joined Botanica and became a worldwide cyber-garden. The Dark Matrix creature tried to possess them, but in turn became recycled into the renewed world-Spark of Primus, who sustained the world and was sustained by the world.
Much, much later, the Hytherion avoided this reality for fear of becoming isolated from the multiverse inside of it.
