Energon

Overview

Shockwave can be considered responsible for the origins for energon on earth. His foresight led to shooting rockets with the energy source for all cybertronians into space on to multiple planets that he felt would sustain the element so it could be harvested later on.

Starscream found a new form of Energon on Earth. It is called Ore-13 or Ultra-Energon
