Based on this:

Are there any Titans that transform into pyramids?

Dear Pondering Polygon,

In one reality, Primus never sent his essence into a metallic asteroid and maintained an abstract form. From a realm of pure thought, the Titan Platonicrons sprang fully formed from his mind:

Cybernet the Cube, represented by the Underbase, a repository of ancient knowledge

Trickdiamond the Octahedron, whose alt-form became the prototype for the Enigma of Combination

Tetrajet the Pyramid, the patron goddess of all flying beings

Doradus the Dodecahedron, who guards the Fountain of Eternal Energon

Iacon the Icosahedron, whose many sides reflected the myriad forms of life in the universe.

This was the Seventh Age of Cybertron Post Schism, and while most ages can be said to have many great efforts and many great tragedies, the Age of Reflection has one notable event - the creation of a vast information archive detailing every event in the past six ages, and the loss of this very archive when it became clear that it was a weapon in its own right.

When Rhetoric Convoy attained the Matrix of Light from her predecessor, she made it clear that she would not go to war with any neighboring planets or bring any strife to the cosmos. Her mission, she declared, would be to create a massive information archive that would allow easy access to knowledge of past victories and mistakes. Though that, she argued, Cybertron would be freed of the ignorance that let such mistakes happen, and be able to learn from its efforts. And so, the Age of Reflection began.

This was a philosophical age, where fighting gave way to reasoned debate and reasoned debate led to new ideas. Every major city on the planet was wrapped up into this great effort, and as more and more information about the past six ages was compiled, the information archive made to house it was continuously expanded and constructed. This was the great effort of Rhetoric Convoy, and it would have been the base for all future decisions by any successors Rhetoric would choose, any decisions their successors would choose, and would be continuously updated and expanded until there were none left to add to its courses.

Keywords here being "WOULD HAVE BEEN."

Dear Avid Addendum,

Yes, in fact this was the original goal of the so-called "Brain Trust" on Cybertron, millions of years ago. Boltax, Tallus, Decanus, and Rokan had each independently tried to annotate their growing database of accumulated wisdom. They were plagued with questions: how can they be sure the data could never be corrupted, or lost over time? What about changes in the meanings of their words over time? Who should have access to this wisdom? The debates about the database expanded its size exponentially and made the chance of any consensus seem remote.

Dear Combiner Conjurer,

When you've lived as long as I have, a few details may slip here and there over the course of 9 billion years, but combiner bonds are never forgotten. Allow me to tell you the tale of Magnitudinus.

Millions of years after I left Cybertron behind, I became accustomed to an unending solitude, standing outside of spacetime, protecting it, never enjoying it. During a voyage to another universe, I came across a ruined Cybertron, and discovered four Cybertronians who angrily cowered before me. They called me The Great Destroyer, and claimed that I had destroyed their world! Soon I realized the truth: someone had been following me. I discovered that a disgraced, Underbase-powered Liege Centuro named "Violen JH'XS" was able to detect my traversal into and out of his universe. He was able to reverse-engineer my ability, and carried out a campaign of terror across the multiverse. I felt responsible for this and apologized to the Cybertronians, who were named:

Tigerhawk, who wielded near limitless energy,

Fortior Prime, a Brawn who possessed the Matrix,

Lunaracer Magna, who controlled gravitational fields,

Aileron Maxima, of the Boundless Spark.
