Notes
[edit]- A fourteenth Prime on ancient Cybertron might raise a few eyebrows at first but it is established that IDW's Thirteen are not the demigods they usually are but simply charismatic geniuses who emerged as tribal leaders, so who knows how many Primes might have been running around? With the revelation that Shockwave engineered the rise of the "Thirteen Primes", it's likely that he intentionally culled any other Primes that didn't survive through history or myth.
- "Septimus" is "seventh" in Latin, which sort of fits with "prima" (feminine "first") and "quintus" (masculine "fifth"), but was probably just picked because it sounds ancient and Latinate regardless of its meaning.
