'''Logos Prime''' (ロゴスプライム ''Rogosu Puraimu''), also known by the alias '''Soundblaster''' (サウンドブラスター ''Saundoburasutā''), is a member of the [[Thirteen]], possessing extraordinary power over space and time. He can take any name and form that he chooses, and is partnered with the bird-bot [[Hell Buzzsaw]], through whom he speaks to mere mortals.

==Fiction==
===''Beast Wars Reborn''===
Logos Prime was one of [[Thirteen|the original clan]] of Transformers created by [[Primus]] before the god assumed the form of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]]. Possessing great power over space and time like his kin, Logos was even recognized by [[Vector Prime]] as having superior skill at it than him. Logos acted as galactic protector over the endless streams of space-time, but eventually lost sight of his objective, becoming lost to Vector Prime and the memory of his existence falling to the darkness of time. In his own words, Logos Prime was "no more", leaving only "a living corpse with a shattered soul, awaiting imminent destruction". {{storylink|Planetfall (BWR)|Planetfall}}

After the [[Great Reformatting]], Soundblaster abducted [[Optimus Primal (BW)|Optimus Primal]] and [[Megatron (BW)|Megatron]] onto his space-travelling "temple" that served as an interface for his power, erasing their memories in the process. After a series of confusing escapades between the two, Logos Prime introduced himself as Soundblaster, speaking through Hell Buzzsaw. He offered his powers over space and time to Megatron, hoping that he'd be his successor. On the astral plane, Vector Prime, sent by Primus, confronted his old comrade {{storylink|Master of the Game}} and recognized Soundblaster as his fellow Ancient, Logos Prime, in an unfamiliar form. Vector was aghast at the idea of Logos granting his power to a tyrant such as Megatron, but Soundblaster could only give a cryptic response of his own motives.

At the temple, Optimus Primal attempted to attack Soundblaster, but the Ancient easily blew back the Maximal. Megatron, while more than willing to gain power, did not believe Soundblaster's offer. Regardless, Soundblaster began the "rite of succession", sending the [[Zeonomicon]], the core of his power, to the planet, [[Animatron]], underneath the temple. Despite Optimus Primal attempting to steal the [[Golden Disk (BWR)|Golden Disk]] that the process of the rite was recorded on, Soundblaster sent the two to Animatron and restored their memories. Soon after, the temple detonated. {{storylink|Planetfall (BWR)|Planetfall}}

Originally protoformed to "quest for logic", Logos Prime was driven mad after encountering the [[Hytherion]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/14}} Before then, [[Vector Prime]] shared many happy times with him, and noted he was exceptional at social gatherings. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/05/15}} During this time, Logos was given the [[Zeonomicon]] by Solus Prime. After he went mad, he invested his essence into it and used it to cause mayhem, before it was confiscated by Vector Prime. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/30}} Vector Prime also noted that there were [[universal stream]]s where Logos went by the name Logos [[Convoy (rank)|Convoy]]. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/24}}

When [[Nexus Prime]] united the [[Terminus Blade]] and the [[Star Saber (Prima)|Star Saber]], Logos and the other [[Thirteen]] were drawn to the event. Time and space were rewritten that day, as the walls between the multiverse grew stronger and less permeable. A consequence of strengthening the multiverse was that Logos Prime and the original Thirteen could no longer continue to exist as multiversal singularities, and so they were splintered and scattered throughout the multiverse. And so the one became many, sentient reoccurring themes each appearing in their own way, if at all, in all the worlds of the multiverse. {{storylink|Out of the One, Many}} This effect rippled backwards and forwards throughout time and space; consequently, Vector was able to recall (or rather, from our point of view, had ''previously'' recalled) at least two realities where Logos was not one of the Thirteen. {{storylink|Ask Vector Prime|Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/14 and 2015/08/08}}

*'''Soundblaster''' (Voyager Class, [[2006]]-[[March 23|03-23]])
**''Japanese ID number:'' '''GX-03'''
**''Accessories:'' "Hell Buzzsaw" partner, "Laser Cannon", "Blaster Gun", Planet X type Cyber Key

:''Galaxy Force'' Soundblaster is a [[redeco]] of the ''[[Transformers: Cybertron (toyline)|Cybertron]]''/''Galaxy Force'' [[Soundwave (Cybertron)#Toys|Soundwave]] toy, transforming into a Cybertronic stealth bomber. He comes with three hexagonal prism "bombs"; one converts into his partner Hell Buzzsaw, the other two unfold into non-firing blaster weapons. Any one of these "bombs" can be stored in his robot-mode chest, which opens by plugging a [[Cyber Key]] into him. The other two store in indents on the underside of his wings. He comes with a silver-bordered Planet X style Cyber Key.

: He was only available as a [[Toy's Dream Project]] [[exclusive]].

: This mold was also used to make the ''[[Transformers: Universe (2008 franchise)|Universe]]'' version of [[Blaster (G1)/toys#Universe (2008)|Blaster]].

==Notes==
[[Image:Original13.jpg|thumb|300px|Doritos Logos Prime.]]
*Though Soundblaster's box was new, he came with Soundwave's instructions.
*Logos Prime was once established as a [[multiversal singularity]] who existed as one being across all space and time, but that is [[Shroud|no longer the case]].
*Given Logos Prime's incredible powers over space and time, his status as an "Ancient" and "one of [Vector Prime's] own", and his very ''name'', ''Beast Wars Reborn'' author [[Hirofumi Ichikawa]] seems to have strongly intended for him to be one of the [[Thirteen|thirteen original Transformers]]. This would be further supported by a silhouetted image of the thirteen produced by [[Yuji Kaida]] for [[TakaraTomy]]'s [[World of the Transformers]] web site (written by Ichikawa), which included a shadowed figure closely resembling Logos Prime (see right). However, a noncommittal [[Hasbro Q&A/May 2010: Answers|Hasbro Q&A]] answer indicated that Hasbro did not consider Logos part of their definitive canonical list of thirteen, which was confirmed with the release of ''[[Transformers: The Covenant of Primus]]''.
**The Facebook version of [[Ask Vector Prime]] would eventually clarify that Logos Prime was indeed a member of the Thirteen, just not in the Aligned continuity family/[[Uniend]] universal cluster, which had its own set of Thirteen. However, the events of "[[Out of the One, Many]]" nullified the concept of multiversal singularities, so any contradictions are now irrelevant as every ''Transformers'' continuity/universe can have its own set of Thirteen.
