'''Primacron''' is an absolutely ancient scientist. He's supposedly hyper-intelligent with an infinity of intricate plans nested within plans, but he sometimes over-thinks things to the point of coming off as rather dim.

His major claim to fame is being responsible for building [[Unicron]] at the dawn of the galaxy. Thanks for nothing.

[[Oracle (G1)|Primacron's Assistant]] claims that they built some of the [[Primitive|"primitive" Transformers]] way back then. As he grew more ambitious, Primacron eventually constructed Unicron, who rebelled against him. Unicron's attack appeared to destroy the assistant and badly injured Primacron.

Primacron was down but not out. Not to be undone by a giant planet-devouring robotic monster, Primacron returned millions of years later to try the whole conquest again. This time, he created the giant energy-siphoning monster [[Tornedron]]. The same thing proceeded to happen again and Primacron would have been dead, if not for Grimlock's simple instincts (which somehow told him to reverse the polarity). Grimlock then proceeded to wreck his lab. {{storylink|Call of the Primitives}}

===IDW comics continuity===
[[Scoop (G1)|Scoop]] used the phrase "Primacron knows". {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 2|Stormbringer #2}}
After being captured by [[Bludgeon (G1)|a maniac]] and learning of his plans with [[Thunderwing (G1)|Thunderwing]],
[[Jetfire (G1)|Jetfire]] said, "Primacron protect us!" {{storylink|Stormbringer issue 2|Stormbringer #2}}

==Notes==
*When first telling their story, the assistant calls him "the being we will ''refer to'' as Primacron" and later calls himself "the Primacron's assistant". These seem to suggest that "Primacron" may actually be some sort of title and not this creature's actual name.
*Primacron leaves open large questions about how he relates to previously or later established history. Included among these are which primitives did he build, how Primacron relates to the [[Quintesson]]s, to [[Vector Sigma]], to his assistant, to the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]], and the [[Primus]]/Unicron mythos. None of these questions have ever been answered, and hopefully never will.
*Primacron's lab is on the moon [[Protos]], according to ''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II]]''.
