The Transformers cartoon
Millions of years ago, the machine housing the power core crashed to Earth and was destroyed. Dug up in the fourteenth century, the power core played havoc with Earth's weather patterns, leveling whole cities. A Persian seer created the gold sphere to block the core's power, and it was buried somewhere in the Galata Valley.
In the twentieth century, Megatron went in search of the Pearl, obtaining a clue to its whereabouts from Abdul Ben Faisal. With the help of Professor Teranova, he was able to locate and dig up the Pearl. As he needed an energy-resistant metal to create a control mechanism for the Pearl, Megatron had also arranged the Europa 2000 with the hopes of attracting racing legend Auggie Cahnay, whose custom built car, developed by Symultech Industries, featured an engine made of a unique alloy needed to contain the Pearl's energies.
The Pearl was snatched from Megatron's hand by Bumblebee, who cracked it open in order to fight back against the Decepticons. A huge storm whipped up over the area, whisking up the Pearl, and resulting in a Decepticon withdrawal. Bravely, Bumblebee allowed himself to be carried up into the tornado and was able to score a direct hit on the Pearl with his gun, destroying it and ending the storm. Trans-Europe Express
