How much of the transformers have you watched, and read? NOt trying to be offinsive, just a serious question. a friend of mine is obsessed... I've seen just about everything, and I do mean everything, even the goofy japanese stop motion tv series that used the toys. If you watch all of it, Beast wars and beast machines make perfect sense in relation to the old series ( there are several japese series that we never saw stateside that connect them together) Going with that, and the info from the comics, the "all spark" was kinda a dumbed down version of the Spark ( or soul, they refer to their Souls as "sparks) of Cybertron. they never called it the all spark in the series, but it did the exact same things, and had the same signifigance to the Autobots and decepticons. But I digress, getting off topic.
