WARNING! Spoilers for Void Rivals #15Transformers has a rich lore that has defined the franchise for decades, but the Energon Universe has just dropped a new reveal that could change everything. Void Rivals has teased several mysteries revolving around the main setting of the Sacred Ring and its connection to Cybertron, and now those mysteries are starting to bear fruit, as the latest issue ends with one major reveal.

Void Rivals #15 by Robert Kirkman, Lorenzo De Felici, Patricio Delpeche and Rus Wooten continues the story of Solila, who has set out on a quest to find the mysterious Zerta-Trion, an ancient Cybertronian who apparently resides in the center of the Sacred Ring.

After a long fall through an endless blackness, Solila finds a mysterious green light. Seeing that it’s the perfect shape for the key she was entrusted with, Solila inserts the key and activates the ancient computer program Vector Theta.

Void Rivals’ Newest Transformers Lore Addition Could Change Everything

Who Is Vector Theta in Transformers Lore?

The name Vector Theta should sound familiar to Transformers fans, as it recalls Vector Sigma, the Cybertronian supercomputer at the heart of the Transformers’ homeworld. In the traditional G1 continuity, Vector Sigma was the link between the Cybertronians and Primus, the creator-god of the Transformers. In ancient history, Primus transformed his body into the core of Cybertron, and Vector Sigma was the conduit through which the Transformers could access him. Possessing not only the entirety of recorded knowledge in the universe, Vector Sigma also grants life to new Transformers and sends the dying on their way to the Transformers’ afterlife.

Given Vector Sigma’s connection to Primus, it makes sense that Vector-Theta would be connected to Unicron.

The reveal of Vector Theta at the end of Void Rivals is perhaps the most monumental reveal since the surprise appearance of Jetfire all the way back in the first issue. Solila activating Vector Theta at the end of Void Rivals #15 is the payoff to multiple issues of set-up, which should lead to the biggest stories yet in the Energon Universe. Given Vector-Sigma’s connection to Primus, it makes sense that Vector Theta would be connected to Primus’ opposite, Unicron. In fact, judging by all the previous hints in Void Rivals thus far, it sounds like the Sacred Ring might be the comatose body of Unicron himself.

Unicron Is Officially Coming to the Energon Universe

Void Rivals Continues to Hint at the Ultimate Transformers Big Bad

With three more issues to go in the current story arc, the reveal of Vector Theta is hopefully just the tip of the iceberg for what fans can expect next. The Autobot Hot Rod is also reunited with Springer in this issue, and the two discern that the Sacred Ring is a well of Energon resources, meaning that the main setting of Void Rivals will be a hot spot for the Energon Universe over the next year. However this story plays out, Transformers fans will have to keep reading Void Rivals to see what other Energon Universe mysteries will be revealed next.

Void Rivals #15 is available now from Skybound Entertainment.
