The Autobots and humans won the war with the Decepticons, but as they were recovering from battle, another enemy came and did something to the core and atmosphere that changed the planet and all living things aside from the Cybertronians. The only way they were effected was that they all were temporarily shut down until a specific human found them and brought them back online through a bond. Not all Cybertronians had to wait for a human to awaken them, but they still shared a bond with them nevertheless. The ones who awoke without a human had to search for their bond in order to access their transformations and weapons. When they would find each other, there would be a split second where the Cybertronian would they would see glimpses of the human's future and know immediately that they were bonded. The bond allowed the human and Cybertronian to feel each other's emotions and sometimes even communicate through their minds. Sometimes the humans that shared the bond with a Cybertronian they'd get special enhancements depending what type or class ranking the Cybertronian was. For example, if the Cybertronian happened to be a fighter jet, the human would get instant knowledge about piloting and mechanics for different types of aircrafts. After a few years, the remaining humans and Cybertronians started to refer to bonded partners as Cyber-Pairs ============================================== "Tell me." He growled, not liking me keeping things from him. "I can sense that something is upsetting you, you know you can't hide it from me. Did something happen in town again?" "N-Not exactly..." I said, trying to turn away again but he wasn't having it. "Then what happened?!" "My mom and Deadlock are dead!" I cried, the tears that I'd pushed back finally pouring from my eyes.
