Is the silhouette really necessary for the all black toy?

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 one of an ancient breed of Transformer, kin to Vector Prime and given guardianship over "logic". 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.

Logos Prime's origins and past are shrouded in mystery, and some believe he may even be one of the Thirteen.

Fiction

[edit]

Beast Wars Reborn

[edit]

Logos Prime was one of the "Ancients", Transformers created by Primus before the god assumed the form of 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 spacetime, Planetfall but an encounter with the Beast of Time The Extraordinary Reformat led him to eventually lose 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". Planetfall

After the Great Transformation, Soundblaster abducted Optimus Primal and 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 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 that the process of the rite was recorded on, Soundblaster sent the two to Animatron and restored their memories. Soon after, the temple detonated. Planetfall

On the astral plane, Soundblaster was cut down by his brother. Desperate, this fragment of Soundblaster's being attempted to merge with Vector Prime, but the fusion was undone. However, the process gave Vector glimpses of Logos Prime's mental state and the true reason for his madness. The Extraordinary Reformat

Upon meeting the lost Shaoshao Li on his universe's Cybertron, Safeguard noted that Logos Prime had brought two Transformers from Shaoshao's world to this universe a long time ago. It was prudent for Shaoshao to find how they may have returned to their native universe, as staying longer outside of her universe threatened her future. Kiss Players #50

Ask Vector Prime

[edit]

Vector Prime recalled that Logos Prime was protoformed to "quest for logic"; Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/14 in Logos's time as an agent of Primus, Vector shared many happy times with him, and Logos was exceptional at social gatherings. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/05/15 Logos was given the Zeonomicon by Solus Prime. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/30 After Logos Prime went mad upon encountering the Hytherion, Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/14 he invested his essence into the Zeonomicon and used it to cause mayhem, before it was confiscated by Vector Prime. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/07/30

Vector Prime noted that there were universal streams where Logos went by the name "Logos Convoy". Ask Vector Prime, 2015/06/24

Our best guess is that Logos Prime is the pair of legs on the far left.

When Nexus Prime united the Terminus Blade and the 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. 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.

Logos Prime was created to be the Prime of logic and reason; he was sometimes known as Epistemus, Soundblaster, and [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Demeter|{{#if:||Demeter}}]]. He wielded the Magnificence, which could answer any question, and the Zeonomicon, which could open any door. However, while searching for knowledge, he encountered an impossible creature that drove him mad, reducing him to a shell of his former self. Transformers One Sourcebook
