The exact nature of the Precursor World as a concept underwent some development over a number of comics from two major creators released by [[e-HOBBY]] and [[TakaraTomy]]. As presented in the ''[[Spin Off|Legends Spin Off]]'' comics by [[Shin Sasaki]], the setting appears to be a universe totally unconnected to previous stories. Characters like [[Straxus (G1)|Straxus]] and [[Straxus (G1)#United EX|Rollermaster]] were given new backstories, while [[Convobat]]'s function of "Amazon Warrior" implied that his [[Cybertron Convobat|pack-in comic]] takes place on Earth. [[Blue Big Convoy]]'s [[Blue Big Convoy comic|comic]] presents the Vanguard as operating on a [[multiverse|multiversal]] level similar to [[Convoy (group)|pre-existing]] [[Alternity (species)|groups]] while also pulling in [[Go Prime]] under the name "Master Black Lion", an [[Aligned continuity family|Aligned continuity]] character previously established as being a multiversal traveller. | |||
Under the ''[[Generations Selects Special Comic|Generations Selects]]'' line, Sasaki showed [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]] and [[Galvatron (G1)|Galvatron]] being summoned from [[2011]] of the [[G1 World|Japanese Generation 1 universe]] (known in-continuity as the "G1 World") to an undescribed time and place to face off against a swarm of [[Novaroid]]s and eventually the [[Seacon (Masterforce)|two]] [[Seacon (BW)|teams]] of Seacons. Of particular note here is [[Seacons comic 3|the third Seacon comic]], Sasaki's last work in the series, which shows [[Halfshell]] plotting on behalf of an unseen entity to create a new future, this being the earliest hint at this setting being in the distant past. | |||
[[File:Precursor World.jpg|thumb|300px|left]] | |||
After this, [[Hayato Sakamoto]] presented the setting as the universe that existed before the G1 World, with multiple characters time-travelling back and forth between the two eras. Sakamoto also elaborated on concepts introduced by Sasaki, such as seven varieties of [[Star Power]] being derived from [[The One]]. | |||

The Precursor World continuity is home to the fictional universe and associated toys and storylines that sprung from e-HOBBY's Spin Off line of exclusive comics. Perhaps the most arcane extrusion yet of the behemoth that is the Japanese continuity of the original Generation 1 cartoon, it tells the tale of the Transformers' god Primus in the universe that existed prior to that of The Transformers, not dissimilar to the backstory of Marvel's [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Galactus|{{#if:||Galactus}}]]. Its primary claim to fame is the Primus Vanguard, a flashy rainbow legion of officially repurposed toys from across the Transformers brand.

The Precursor World was first introduced in 2016 with "Cybertron Convobat", a pack-in comic for TakaraTomy's exclusive Spin Off imprint. Here, the diminutive clones Convobat and Megalligator fought to escape the laboratory of their creator Straxus. In the following installment, "Cybertron Magna Convoy", the details of the setting began to unfurl as Convobat ventured into the wider world and the concept of the Primus Vanguard was introduced as Straxus and Magna Convoy fought over the Vanguard's legacy amidst its ruins. These comics were supplemented by online prologues as well as Profile+, a feature on the official e-HOBBY Twitter account that provided additional art and story tidbits.
In Spin Off's final installment, the narrative flashed back to the glory days of the Vanguard to introduce Blue Big Convoy, commander of the Blue Order, as well as the Vanguard's nemeses, the Specters.
The story was next picked up in 2019 with the Generations Selects Special Comic, a feature to promote TakaraTomy's offerings in the Generations Selects toyline. As such, it saw a series of Generation 1 characters shunted backwards in time to the Precursor universe, with particular emphasis placed on Optimus Prime and Galvatron. This series took place between the Convobat and Blue Big Convoy comics, dramatizing the rise and fall of the Primus Vanguard that led to the conflict in Magna Convoy's comic.
Creative team
[edit]The initial Spin Off pack-in comics developing the Precursor World and their various ancillary media were created by writer/artist Shin Sasaki and colorist Kazumasa Yasukuni.
The opening arc of the Generations Selects Special Comic was helmed by Sasaki as well, until with the final installment of the Seacons chapter the series was dramatically expanded in scope and handed off to the team of writer/artist Hayato Sakamoto, colorists Josh Perez and Gufu Kandagawa, general assistants Lebanon Sugi and Ricken, and many, many more.

Like such niche collector properties as Transformers Cloud and Beast Wars: Uprising before it, the Precursor World continuity builds out the humble handful of exclusives allotted it into a sort of "virtual toyline" using:
- A small number of toys explicitly developed in tandem with the fiction
- Liberal repurposing of existing toys from other Transformers properties into Precursor World characters
- Potential future toys in the form of "virtual" redeco characters made up of existing molds in new color schemes
