Realm of the Primes

The Realm of the Primes is an ethereal plane beyond time and space, and inhabited by several members of the original Thirteen. Some of them are capable of altering the realm to their will, reshaping its geography or creating illusionary constructs.

[edit]After his fellow Primes fell to infighting and betrayal, Vector Prime lost hope and sealed himself away in the Realm of the Primes, a private realm outside of space and time.
After gathering all of the Blades of Time and properly arranging them, Optimus Prime ended up in the Realm of the Primes, where he encountered Vector Prime.

Ask Vector Prime
[edit]During his campaign against Mogahn the Mass, Time Warrior leader Vector Prime (who had long ago self-induced amnesia in order to protect the location of Nexus Prime's components) ended up in the Realm of the Primes. There, five of his siblings unlocked his memories as Primus's appointed guardian of space and time. Rejuvenated, Vector Prime returned to normal space and vanquished the Mass once and for all. However, Vector Prime was uncertain of how exactly these events had occurred due to his competing memories from the Uniend Cluster.
After hijacking Vector Prime's Axiom Nexus News column, known liar Sideways stated that he once broke into and messed up Megatronus's hiding place in the Realm of the Primes. Ask Vector Prime
Notes
[edit]- The Realm of the Primes was not named as such in Exiles itself. In 2015, the Ask Vector Prime Facebook page gave Vector Prime's otherwise-unnamed dimension a name, tying into its later appearances in Robots in Disguise.
