'''Guardian Prime''' is a former bearer of the Autobot [[Matrix of Leadership]].

==Fiction==
===Generation 1 cartoon===
:''Voice actor:'' [[Charlie Adler]] (English)

Guardian Prime inherited the [[Matrix of Leadership]] from [[Prime Nova]] and became leader of the consumer goods robots following the rebellion that forced the [[Quintesson]]s off [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. These robots renamed themselves "Autobots", but their desires for a peaceful existence would be denied them by the military hardware robots, who were redubbed the "[[Decepticon]]s", and waged war against Guardian Prime and his followers. Ill-equipped for combat, Guardian Prime was cut down in battle, and passed the Matrix onto [[Zeta Prime]].

When [[Rodimus Prime (G1)|Rodimus Prime]] journeyed into the Matrix in 2005, Guardian Prime was the fourth guide that he encountered. Guardian related to him the early days of peace on Cybertron, and the outbreak of the Autobot-Decepticon war. {{storylink|Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4}}

===Dreamwave comics===
Guardian Prime is the second known Matrix-bearer. He followed [[Alpha Prime]] and was himself followed by [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]].

==Notes==
*The cartoon robot was never named in the cartoon itself. Instead, he was referred to as "'''Pre-Transformer'''" in the dialogue script for "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4". ''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac Volume 2]]'' came along and made the character into an incarnation of Guardian Prime.
*An animation error results in the spectral image of Prime Nova appearing when Guardian Prime begins his narration, depriving us of an absolutely positive visual identification of the character. As the Rodimus-derived character pictured above appears during Guardian Prime's narration and is then shown dying and passing on the Matrix, it is assumed that he is intended to ''be'' Guardian Prime.
*For some reason he bears a striking resemblance to Hot Rod/Rodimus Prime.
