Dear Self Surveyor,

Ah, yes.

In truth, I have met other instances of myself from different points in the timestream. Using my ability to open portals, I can even call upon myself for aid—but for some reason, it rarely goes as smoothly as I would like.

I remember one particularly fierce battle, where I had been pushed to the limit fighting Tornedron, the devourer of sparks and energy. Holding him back took most of my power, and the lifeless planet I had lured the monster to was beginning to destabilize. I was preparing to fend off a deadly blow, only to find myself whisked away to another battle.

It was a huge problem, for that other incarnation of myself could not understand that he had pulled me from a vital battle, and no matter how dangerous Tornedron was, it mattered far more to be here to aid myself at this juncture…

Wait, sorry.

Ah, that was it, I had been facing the unending forces of the Dead Universe, and the horde of unliving foes was impossibly strong. D-Void and his puppet were pressing me on all sides, and I had been forced to summon myself, trusting that I would recognize the importance of the crisis. Instead he proved petulant, complaining that he had been a vital force in that battle against the Dead Universe and he would return me after we had dealt with…

Let me try again.

It was the 3rd chord of the ninth Vorn and I was, he… we summoned us and we needed to fend off… and yet he, I…

A lesser dark god.

Hmm.

Dear Corruption Concerned,

Even before his catastrophic voyage into the Dead Universe, Nova Prime was a firm believer in Cybertronian supremacy and his own personal right to throw his weight around the universe.

Dear Resurrection Recaller,

Ah, I had not realised fragments of that tale had reached your dimension yet.

Yes, back before the Quintesson invasion, the leader of the Random cult had turned to dark sciences in furtherance of his anti-Patterner goals. When mutating his own body wasn't enough, he found the ancient Basilica of the Primes, and unearthed the skull of the Liege Maximo.

My brother acted as Galvatron's mentor, whispering secrets and furthering the cult leader's aims, until they could amass enough Dark Energon to create a new body for the treacherous Prime. Now renewed, Liege sought to leave Cybertron, as Alpha Trion and Alchemist Prime became alerted to his resurrection. Alpha Trion led a Patterner raid against Random, finally extinguishing that cult, while Alchemist followed Liege Maximo and Galvatron into the far reaches of the galaxy.

Knowing his brothers would follow him to the ends of the universe, Liege Maximo sought to break the boundaries between dimensions, travelling to another plane of existence. Unfortunately for him, he chose the Dead Universe infested by the monstrous D-Void. Faced with a universe-ending threat, Alchemist Prime, Liege Maximo, and Galvatron joined forces, trying to return the dread harbinger to his own realm, or else destroy him. It worked, but cost Liege Maximo his life; the only remnant of the monstrous battle was a sphere of necrotic force, which was bound into the remains of the Liege Maximo, containing it.

Alchemist and Galvatron returned to Cybertron, the latter hiding the abominable Dark Spark where he felt no one would find it; while Alchemist returned to watching behind the scenes. All he told Alpha Trion of that fateful battle was that the Liege Maximo would no longer trouble them, which Alpha Trion took to mean that he had been imprisoned.
