All life on Cybertron comes from The Well of All Sparks. The Well of All Sparks houses the Allspark. The Allspark is the Transformer "afterlife". It is the nigh-indefinable extra-dimensional realm, or force, or even entity that is the living essence of the Transformers' creator Primus. From the Allspark comes the new Cybertronian who before was only a protoform until they received their life giving spark. After leaving the Allspark, the new Cybertronian would brave the terrors of the Underworld before leaving The Well of Allsparks. This was the screening processed used by Primus, the creator of the Transformers, to weed out the weaker of his warriors who were to do battle with Unicron. From the time Cybertron came into existence up until the present day, this is how life on Cybertron begins.
At the heart of an endless, cyclical process of birth, death and resurrection, the Allspark it is both the source and destination of all Transformer sparks. Upon the moment of a Transformers' death, their spark will return to the Allspark, taking with it all the emotions, experiences and knowledge that the Transformer has gained throughout their time online. This knowledge is suffused into the Allspark, gathering with all the other knowledge of all the other sparks from throughout time, forming a collection of information known as the "Wisdom of the Ages". There is little individuality within the Allspark, however; the individual Transformers' experiences become one with all the others in the Allspark, and they effectively cease to exist as a singular entity. Some Transformers do retain their individuality, however—typically, those who have had close contact with sacred implements, such as the Autobots who have carried the Matrix of Leadership, remain self-aware within the Allspark, and can serve as guides for any visitors into its realm.
The All Spark is said to be the soul of Primus. Many religious groups on Cybertron believe this to be fact while other more scientific groups look to Vector Sigma as the main force behind the formation of new life on Cybertron. If the All Spark is the soul of Primus, then Vector Sigma is his mind. While no one knows where the All Spark is located on Cybertron, though many entrances from the Well of All Sparks are well documented, Vector Sigma's location is well known. Many have traveled to the spherical chamber deep within the planet where Vector Sigma is located to ask it for advice and to even be so bold as to beg it to grant life to a newly built, spark-less robot of their creation. It is believed that Vector Sigma is the force controlling the Allspark and prompting the creation of new life. Some even consider Vector Sigma to be the centre point of the universe where all space and time are regulated and the meeting point for all inter-dimensional universes and reality. Vector Sigma is guarded by Vector Prime, Primus's appointed guardian of time and space.
The Autobot Matrix of Leadership is an artifact of great power, traditionally carried by the leader of the Autobots. By most accounts, the Matrix is a conduit for the power of Primus, the creator-god of the Transformers, serving as a means of access to the Allspark. It has been known to provide its wielder with a means of communicating with the deceased Primes who have come before them and for allowing the "Wisdom of the Ages" to influence their decisions for . These divine powers put it at the centre of much Autobot religion, spirituality and prophecy; while many Decepticons are less inclined to believe in its divinity, they certainly covet the increased physical power it is known to convey upon its holders, and severall have made obtaining the Matrix one of their primary goals.
