Maybe it's the Hasbro Universe version of Hanazuki.

Millions of years ago, the planet that would be christened "Devisiun" was a verdant, organic world, part of a binary star system and inhabited by a primitive civilization of organic creatures. Unfortunately for those same creatures, their planet would be targeted for colonization by the inhabitants of Cybertron, Time Will Rust encouraged by "Onyx Prime's" rhetoric of galactic expansion. The First Who Was Named

Although Devisiun—the Titan sent to colonize the planet in Nexus Prime's honor—Ceremony crash-landed and subsequently perished, Windblade vol. 2 #6 the spark-igniting hot spot he had carried escaped damage, and the surviving crew members named their new home in honor of the Titan who had brought them there. Ceremony Time Will Rust The intense gravitational forces of Devisiun's twin suns supposedly caused an unexpected mutation amongst the new sparks that emerged from the hot spot: each spark emerged with a twin sibling, where each formed half of a single alternate mode, although they were not "combiners" in the true sense of the word. The bond between Devisen twins was so close that they frequently finished one another's sentences Windblade vol. 2 #6 and, if one died, it was impossible for the other to transform. The Next Day, and the Next

Adorable.

Ultimately, the Devisiun colonists swifly overran the native civilization; considering their planet to be a brutal, untamed world, the colonists felt the need to "help" the natives overcome their feral existence and set about cyberforming their new home by paving over the native biosphere, driving the original ecosystem—and the natives who depended on it—to the brink of extinction. Time Will Rust Some 600,000 years ago, the Decepticon Shockwave would seed the planet with samples of Ore-5 as part of his Regenesis project. Ceremony The First Who Was Named

Circa 2014, the First Titan Metroplex located several colonies with his sensors, including Devisiun. A Long Way Down While merged with Metroplex's mind, Camien Cityspeaker Windblade got a brief glimpse of life on Devisiun. Windblade vol. 1 #4

It's the cutest apocalypse ever!

In the aftermath of the Combiner Wars, Starscream and Superion made a trip to Devisiun. The natives were quite impressed by Superion's combiner technology, allowing Starscream to persuade the planet to join the growing Council of Worlds. Vanquish and Fireshot were sent to Cybertron to simultaneously represent their colony. Windblade vol. 2 #6

As one of Cybertron's thirteen colonies, Devisiun would be targeted by Unicron as the planet-eater gathered strength for his attack on Cybertron. Prowl and the crew of the Peaceful Revolution followed him there, but realized that they were unable to stop him or his Maximals from devouring the planet, and instead moved on to Unicron's next target to lay a trap for the Chaos Bringer. Last Stand Unstopped and Unstoppable Fewer than a hundred Devisen refugees remained on Cybertron. Stranger Eons When Unicron then destroyed Cybertron, they were teleported to Earth. Road's End

Notes

• Devisiun's name is a play on "division". Clever!
• The planet's name has enjoyed a rather fraught history under the pens of various authors; it has been alternately spelled Divisiun and Divisen on multiple occasions.
• Most of the inhabitants of Devisiun seem to be based on Micromaster Combiners. Other natives seen in Windblade vol. 2 #6 include Generation 1 counterparts of Animated Jetfire and Jetstorm, and what might be Skids and Mudflap from the live action film series.
• While most Devisens are tiny 'bots, befitting their origins as Micromaster Combiners, there are some exceptions; most prominently, the Devisens Oiler and Slide, as they appear in Optimus Prime, are larger-than-normal Transformers who loom over some smaller Autobots. (Maybe they're Devisiun's equivalents of Fortress Maximus?)
• Backmatter in Unicron #6 notes that as part of Regenesis, the planet was seeded with supplies of Ore-5, "Combination". Though the significance of this ore is not expounded on, it's possible that the infusion of Shockwave's ore was either the catalyst or the accelerant responsible for the mutation of the Devisen Transformers.
