Alpha Trion (G1) -> Alpha Trion update

	In the primitive age following the departure of the [[Knights of Cybertron]], Alchemist Prime was one of the many Primes who arose to lead a tribe of like-minded followers. {{storylink\|The Crucible}} Fond of alcohol, Alchemist was rarely seen without a glass in his hand and was prone to frequent bouts of inebriation.		In the primitive age following the departure of the [[Knights of Cybertron]], Alchemist Prime was one of the many Primes who arose to lead a tribe of like-minded followers. {{storylink\|The Crucible}} Fond of alcohol, Alchemist was rarely seen without a glass in his hand and was prone to frequent bouts of inebriation.

	Twelve million years ago, Alchemist Prime joined four other Primes—[[Vector Prime\|Vector]], [[Solus Prime\|Solus]], [[Nexus Prime\|Nexus]], and [[~~Alpha Trion (G1)\|~~Alpha Trion]]—and this quintet founded the humble [[energon]]-farming village that would one day become the [[Crystal City]]. Their fledgling peace was threatened by the advancing armies of [[The Fallen\|Megatronus]] and his [[Darklands\|Darklander]]s, intent on conquering the region. Salvation arrived in the form of [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Onyx Prime]], his army of [[beast mode]] Transformers, and [[Liege Maximo]], who raised a fighting force from the villagers.		Twelve million years ago, Alchemist Prime joined four other Primes—[[Vector Prime\|Vector]], [[Solus Prime\|Solus]], [[Nexus Prime\|Nexus]], and [[Alpha Trion]]—and this quintet founded the humble [[energon]]-farming village that would one day become the [[Crystal City]]. Their fledgling peace was threatened by the advancing armies of [[The Fallen\|Megatronus]] and his [[Darklands\|Darklander]]s, intent on conquering the region. Salvation arrived in the form of [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Onyx Prime]], his army of [[beast mode]] Transformers, and [[Liege Maximo]], who raised a fighting force from the villagers.

	The next morning, the Primes watched as their forces battled the Darklanders, and were surprised when the battle prompted three [[Titan (group)\|Titans]] to rise from the ground. {{storylink\|Origin Myths}} Unbeknownst to the other Primes, "Onyx Prime" was simply an alias assumed by a time-travelling [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Shockwave]], who, using his historical knowledge, had deliberately engineered the battle to bring the Primes together against a common threat. His mission fulfilled, "Onyx" was able to reach his pupil Megatronus and convinced him and his forces to lay down arms, joining the other Primes in mutual cooperation. {{storylink\|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named\|The First Who Was Named}} {{storylink\|Origin Myths}}		The next morning, the Primes watched as their forces battled the Darklanders, and were surprised when the battle prompted three [[Titan (group)\|Titans]] to rise from the ground. {{storylink\|Origin Myths}} Unbeknownst to the other Primes, "Onyx Prime" was simply an alias assumed by a time-travelling [[Shockwave (G1)/2005 IDW continuity\|Shockwave]], who, using his historical knowledge, had deliberately engineered the battle to bring the Primes together against a common threat.

	In the ensuing celebration that commemorated this new alliance, Alchemist Prime got drunk after consuming rancid [[Engex]] while conversing with "Onyx Prime" — using his understanding of Cybertron's past to steer history along its preordained course, "Onyx" spoke to Alchemist Prime about a "[[Dark Cybertron (prophecy)\|Dark Cybertron prophecy]]" and a "chosen one," {{storylink\|Origin Myths}} setting in motion the prophecies that Shockwave's younger self would one day learn about and harness. {{storylink\|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named\|The First Who Was Named}} Alchemist would drunkenly recall what "Onyx Prime" had told him to [[~~Alpha Trion (G1)\|~~Alpha Trion]], who wondered if "Onyx" had begun spinning tales for his own personal gain. {{storylink\|Origin Myths}}		In the ensuing celebration that commemorated this new alliance, Alchemist Prime got drunk after consuming rancid [[Engex]] while conversing with "Onyx Prime" — using his understanding of Cybertron's past to steer history along its preordained course, "Onyx" spoke to Alchemist Prime about a "[[Dark Cybertron (prophecy)\|Dark Cybertron prophecy]]" and a "chosen one," {{storylink\|Origin Myths}} setting in motion the prophecies that Shockwave's younger self would one day learn about and harness. {{storylink\|The Falling, Interlude: The First Who Was Named\|The First Who Was Named}} Alchemist would drunkenly recall what "Onyx Prime" had told him to [[Alpha Trion]], who wondered if "Onyx" had begun spinning tales for his own personal gain. {{storylink\|Origin Myths}}

	Alchemist Prime possesses the ability to transmute metals and temporarily alter the properties of any object. While these powerful abilities make him an unpredictable foe on the battlefield, Alchemist is one of the most even-tempered and gentle members of the Thirteen, with a friendly, sympathetic nature that makes him easy to be around. Among his twelve siblings, Alchemist was closest to [[~~Alpha Trion (WFC)\|~~Alpha Trion]], [[Vector Prime]], and [[Nexus Prime]]. Alchemist Prime's mastery of chemistry extends to various intoxicating beverages, which he has a professed fondness for.

	Twelve million years ago, Alchemist Prime joined four other Primes—[[Vector Prime\|Vector]], [[Solus Prime\|Solus]], [[Nexus Prime\|Nexus]], and [[~~Alpha Trion (G1)\|~~Alpha Trion]]—and this quintet founded the humble [[energon]]-farming village that would one day become the [[Crystal City]].
