Eons ago, a race known as the Quintaguardians decreed that they would watch over the galaxy, protecting it from evil and madness that had been created by the madness of one of there own, Kronatron. Kronatron sought to understand the very fabric of reality itself, and to acheive his quest he transformed himself into a living mechincal planet that devoured worlds and stars.
In order to follow through with there plan of action, the Quintaguardians created a race of sentient robots capable of transforming into an alternate mood to better carry out their prime directive. Soon however it became clear that not only were they unequal to the task of stopping Kronatron, but the robots began to rebel against their masters, spliting into three factions; Autobots, beings who were for the most part forces of goodness but yet chafed in servitude, Deceptions, vile mechiniods who sought to conquer and rule, and the Manhunters, emotionalless beings that sought only prefection. The last group soon drifted into Kronatron's control, aiding the planetkiller in its quest to destroy everything in hopes to recreate reality in its image.
Soon Kronatron and his army attempted to consume Cybertron, the factory world that made and later housed the Autobots and Decepticons. The two factions set aside their differences and aided the Quintaguardians in the battle to save their world. It was through the sacrifice of the Quintaguardian known as Primus was the defenders able to seal Kronatron and the Manhunters away in the starless void of space known as Sector 3601. Primus managed this by tapping into the power of the emotional spectrum. After their success, both Cybertron factions lived in peace for a time with the blessings of the Quintaguardians and forged a civilations. But soon began battleing once more sparking the Great War that still raged thousands of years later.
The Quintaguardians, now led by Appa Trion, created an intergalactic police force utilizing the balancing green power of will and fearlessness to protect and serve all life in the universe. Calling them Green Lanterns, it was decided that living beings would not be made but recruited.
Back on Cybertron, the Great War raged, often spilling out to other worlds and back again. The Autobots used old Quintaguardian technology to create the Matrix which would transform compatable Autobots into Primes. The Primes then served as leaders and generals. One such Prime, was Optimus Prime. He was as honorable as he was fearless. Optimus lead his troops amoung them not over them or behind. By this time the Quintaguardians, Kronatron, and the Manhunters were myths and legends. A legend that soon broght all back together when the Green Lantern Abin Sur crashed near a battle field of the Cybertronians. Dying, Abin Sur ordered his ring to find his replacement, a being both honest and fearless. It found Optimus Prime, granting him its power and merging with the Matrix. Thus Optimus Prime was reborn as Lantern Prime.
But when Primus discovered the emotional power spectrum, others learned that other colors/emotions could also be forged into their own "lanterns". It would not be until several years after his transformation into Lantern Prime, that Optimus would learn this.....or just who would be the one wield the yellow power of fear.
