Talk:Primon

Prima and Primon

How is it known that this guy predates Prima? I see this stated all over, but I don't know where it comes from. Kaje 17:13, 29 November 2009 (EST)

Maybe you could refer to the only piece of fiction referred to in this article? —Interrobang 17:25, 29 November 2009 (EST)

You mean the wildly convoluted convention exclusive whose wiki pages give almost no information? I ask again, how is this known? Kaje 21:24, 29 November 2009 (EST)

The story names previously Matrix bearers in order. Primon is named before Prima. (Not that I disagree that the article is unhelpful - which part of "Reaching the Omega Point" is this in? I don't know!). - Chris McFeely 21:33, 29 November 2009 (EST)

Thank you. Kaje 21:40, 29 November 2009 (EST)

And I quote, "He was there, at the beginning, as Unicron roared his fury at the encroachment of new life into the barren nothingness that was his kingdom. He stood on the front line at Jan-Ja, as the warrior who would be Optimus Prime took up his fallen Monark's banner and cried "never surrender" in the face of an advancing Decepticon phalanx. He watched spellbound as Autobot City rose gleaming from the ashes of the battlefields on Earth. Saw the Liege Maximo tear the Matrix of Leadership from the shattered remains of Primon." from Covenant. --Sabrblade 23:41, 4 July 2010 (EDT)

And, further on in Covenant, "They waited and watched. Saw Primus' prison become Cybertron, saw him populate it with beings like themselves, saw the great Civil War begin and spread across the galaxy - most tellingly, to Earth - saw the return of Unicron, who had also shaped his prison, saw the Matrix of Leadership pass from Primon to Prima to Prime Nova to Sentinel Prime to Optimus Prime, and ultimately to Rodimus Prime..." --Xaaron 11:45, 11 July 2010 (EDT)

Alpha Prime

Where is it ever said that Primon is "Alpha Prime"? Assuming it is, this article should note it. Explicitly. --Thylacine 2000 20:47, 11 August 2010 (EDT)

Where else, naturally, but that tome of tomes, the AllSpark Almanac II? Specifically, it refers to him as "Primon, the Alpha Prime". - Chris McFeely 05:12, 12 August 2010 (EDT)

I gotta express a little bit of bafflement at just how much of Almanac II isn't about Transformers: Animated. Granted, I don't have the book yet (thank you very much Diamond) but geez. --Detour 06:24, 12 August 2010 (EDT)

It's just that those are the bits that people are talking about. :) The bit about the Primes, for instance, is a hidden Cybertronix message. - Chris McFeely 06:37, 12 August 2010 (EDT)

I'd rather that guy got called "Alpha Prime" than Primon since every "The Thirteen" is a Prime. --TX55^TALK 12:05, 12 August 2010 (EDT)

Actually Hasbro's been a bit insconsistant about that. It had been established that they were all Primes, but then after the Movies "7 Primes" bit IIRC Hasbro backpedaled in a recent QandA saying that only some of them were actually named "Prime". But then Exodus refers to all the 13 as "The Primes." Where they're gonna come down when more of their new plan makes it into fiction remains to be seen. --76.28.76.206 12:13, 12 August 2010 (EDT)

Beast Wars?

Category Beast Wars Autobot?

Primon is mentioned in "Reaching the Omega Point," which is Beast Wars fiction. --KilMichaelMcC 16:24, 11 June 2012 (EDT)
