'''Prima''' (aka '''Prima Prime''') is the first [[Transformer]].

Among the [[Thirteen]] earliest [[Transformer]]s, one must be first: '''Prima''' (aka '''Prima Prime'''), who was created the most strongly in [[Primus]]' image. Perfect and gallant, Prima was appointed the Warrior of Light and given the legendary [[Star Saber (Thirteen)|Star Saber]] sword with the [[Matrix of Leadership]] in its hilt. Considered fatherlike amongst his bretheren, he was chosen to lead the Thirteen against their eternal enemy [[Unicron]] and was the chief steward of Primus' planetary form, [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]].


It is uncertain what relationship Prima has, if any, to [[Primon]], another early Matrix bearer.

==Conceptual history==
[[File:DarkCreation we would know more.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|Prima's first named appearance in the form of [[Ancient Autobots|spooky Matrix ghost]] narration.]]
The [[generic]] ancient warrior that would one day be known as Prima first appeared in [[1986]] as what the script designates as "Powerful Robot" in the [[The Transformers (cartoon)|Generation 1 cartoon]] episode, "[[Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4]]", created by writer [[Flint Dille]] and character designer [[Floro Dery]] as part of a walking tour of Cybertronian history via [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]-induced vision experienced by [[Hot Rod (G1)/Generation 1 cartoon continuity|Rodimus Prime]] in the cartoon's present day. Created by the [[Quintesson]]s, "Powerful Robot" was the instigator of the [[Autobot Rebellion|original rebellion]] of the Autobots against their masters and one of the most ancient Matrix wielders witnessed by Rodimus, being preceded only by "[[Primon|Ancient Robot]]".
In [[1988]], [[The Primal Scream|issue #61]] of the [[The Transformers (Marvel comic)|Generation 1 comic]]—written by [[Simon Furman]]—featured the first and only appearance in the series of the first Transformer to carry the legendary [[Matrix of Leadership|Creation Matrix]], a blue-and-yellow robot who was one of the first generation of Cybertronians created by Primus. Though unnamed in this story, a few issues later, [[Dark Creation|issue #65]] provided a full list of Matrix bearers; the first name on the list was "Prima," implicitly identifying the blue-and-yellow robot as this character.
Furman continued exploring the origins of the Transformers in the [[Transformers: Generation 2 (Marvel)|''Generation 2'' comic]], with "[[The Power and the Glory]]" giving Optimus Prime a glimpse into Cybertron's primordial past, where he sees a purple-and-yellow Transformer emerge from the planet's surface as the explicitly first Transformer created by Primus. This "first Transformer" was not depicted as a Matrix wielder, nor did the comics suggest that this character was the same one seen in "The Primal Scream". Prima's placement among the Matrix wielders would be further muddled by the [[BotCon 1999]] story "[[Reaching the Omega Point]]" (also by Furman), which established a character called [[Primon]] as the first one to hold the Matrix, not Prima. Simon Furman's non-answer in an interview,<ref>{{citesocial|name=Andrew Sorohan|quote="We are Primus. We are Prima. We are Prime Nova. We are Sentinel Prime. We are Optimus Prime. We are THUNDERWING!" Where does Primon (introduced in the BotCon "Omega Point" text story) fit in?}}<br>{{citesocial|link=https://web.archive.org/web/20120713070554/http://www.alteredstatesmag.com/features/qanda/sfurman_3.php|quote=Umm... pass. The Matrix forgot?|name=Simon Furman|site=Altered States Magazine|year=2002|month=10|day=30|title=A Little Q&A; With... Simon Furman}}</ref> claiming "The Matrix forgot", did little to mend this continuity error.
[[2004]]'s ''[[Transformers: The Ultimate Guide|The Ultimate Guide]]'' (yet again by Furman) declared Prima to be one of the "Thirteen Original Transformers" alongside the [[Liege Maximo]] and [[the Fallen]]. Though not actually set in the world of the Marvel comic, ''The Ultimate Guide''{{'}}s re-used a panel from the ''Generation 2'' comic showing the creation of the purple-and-yellow robot to represent the creation of Prima, effectively retroactively making the blue/yellow and purple/yellow Transformers the same character.<ref>{{citesocial|link=https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/y8xcna3xgv4.jpg|quote=Molded from the living skin and imbued with a fragment of Primus' own Spark, the first TRANSFORMER—named Prima—answers his creator's urgent call to arms!|name=Simon Furman|site=''Transformers: The Ultimate Guide''|year=2004|month=05|day=05|title=Cybertron}}</ref> Prima's role as a member of an ancient pantheon, the "first Transformer", and an early Matrix wielder, were now firmly established.
The actual dovetailing of the cartoon's rebel with the Marvel demigod occurred in the [[Ask Vector Prime#The Allspark Almanac|Ask Vector Prime]] back-up feature of [[2010]]'s ''[[Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II|The AllSpark Almanac II]]''  wherein one of Prima's brothers (the titular [[Vector Prime]]) revealed the two lineages to be one and the same, both declaring "Powerful Robot" an incarnation of Prima and knitting their respective predecessors, "Ancient Robot" and Primon, into one individual.
Prima recieved a big bump in notoriety not long after when he was solidified into the "definitive" version of the Thirteen workshopped by brand architect [[Aaron Archer]] as part of backstory for the 2010s "[[Aligned continuity family|Aligned continuity]]" project. Showcased with a new design by [[Ken Christiansen]] during [[BotCon 2010]], Prima would be shown wielding his personal [[Artifacts of the Primes|artifact]]: a new incarnation of the [[Star Saber (Thirteen)|Star Saber]], carrying the Matrix in its hilt.<ref>{{citesocial|name=Alex Irvine|site=''[[Transformers: Exodus]]''|year=2010|month=06|day=23}}</ref><ref>{{citesocial|title=Nexus Prime|name=Rik Alvarez?|site=[[Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club issue 30|''Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club'' #30]]|year=2009|month=12}}</ref>. Given the title "Warrior of Light",<ref>[[BotCon 2010]] Panel - HASBRO DESIGNERS: https://www.toycollectors.com.au/bc10/bc10hd.html</ref> Prima's personality would be fleshed out in [[2013]]'s ''[[Transformers: The Covenant of Primus|The Covenant of Primus]]'', establishing him as a stick-in-the-mud warrior, leader of the Thirteen, and developer of early Cybertronian civilization. Prima's orderly nature would clash with Megatronus's brash and violent nature, leading to arguments that laid the groundwork for the [[War of the Primes]]. This feud between Prima and Megatronus would inform future characterizations of Prima in the [[2005 IDW continuity]] and the [[Transformers Collectors' Club]]'s incarnation of [[Ask Vector Prime#Facebook|Ask Vector Prime]].
Prima would be featured in the [[2018]] ''[[Power of the Primes (franchise)|Power of the Primes]]'' franchise with the name "Prima Prime", which would be reused for Prima's big screen debut in [[2024]]'s ''[[Transformers One (film)|Transformers One]]'' as well as the [[2025]] ''[[Transformers: Age of the Primes|Age of the Primes]]'' toyline. ''One'' introduced an incarnation of the character who ''wasn't'' a Matrix wielder: that role would be given to the film's Thirteenth Prime, [[Zeta Prime (One)|Zeta Prime]]. ''Age of the Primes'' would introduce the first proper toy for Prima Prime, amalgamating his ''Covenant'' and "Powerful Robot" designs together.

In Cybertron's ancient past, an underperforming mechanoid was smelted down by its [[Quintesson]] masters, and reforged into a powerful robot who, through unknown circumstances, became the second documented bearer of the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. This powerful robot was unusual amongst his consumer goods brethren in that he was equipped for combat, and was made to battle in the Quintessons' gladiatorial pits. He found the endless fighting repellent, and, after one particular battle with [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|another robot]], decided to strike back at his masters, leaping at the group of Quintessons that had been watching the match. He was blasted out of the air, and fell to the ground in a smoking wreck, apparently deceased. The Matrix was passed to a [[Prime Nova|brooding robot]], who succeeded him as its bearer.


{{note|The Generation 1 cartoon incarnation of Prima was never named on-screen, and was identified only with the descriptor of "'''Powerful Robot'''" in the dialogue script for "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4".

Prima was created from the corpse of another robot which the [[Quintesson]]s deactivated for its underperformance in its tasks. The robot was instantly smelted down and reformed into Prima, who, through unknown circumstances, became the second documented bearer of the [[Matrix of Leadership]]. Prima was unusual amongst his consumer goods brethren in that he was equipped for combat, and was made to battle in the Quintessons' gladiatorial pits. He found the endless fighting repellent, and, after a battle with [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Major]], decided to strike back at his masters, leaping at the group of Quintessons that had been watching the match. He was blasted out of the air, and fell to the ground in a smoking wreck, apparently deceased. He was succeeded as Matrix-bearer by [[Prime Nova]].

Upon Prima's first emergence from primordial Cybertron, he didn't need to use the Matrix's power to bring forth new Transformers. The first few generations of Cybertronians could replicate themselves through a process known as "[[reproduction#budding|budding]]." However, the method of reproduction diluted Primus's essence with each generation. This process reached a pre-programmed end, and Primus's progeny lost both their ability to bud, and all memory of the process. {{storylink|The Power and the Glory}}

Prima proposed to the [[Dynasty of Primes]] that they should make it a rule to not destroy the stars from systems with life. He also renamed [[the Fallen]] after the latter intentionally destroyed such a system. When the Fallen attempted this again on [[Earth]], the original seven Primes battled him and fell one by one, until only Prima was left.

As the first of the Thirteen created, Prima was cast in the mold of Primus himself, a warrior of great virtue and nobility who placed the greater good above all else. Though self-aware enough to not be a pompous leader to his siblings, he tended to take too much weight upon his shoulders, and his persistent conviction that he was always right made him difficult to deal with. He tended to clash with [[The Fallen|Megatronus]], who served as his opposite among the Thirteen, a warrior of darkness who represented a natural counterbalance to Prima's role as the warrior of light. Such arguments characterized their interactions while the Thirteen trained and prepared to take on the menace of [[Unicron/Aligned|Unicron]].

In the course of the battle with Unicron, Prima lost his grip upon his Star Saber when the Chaos Bringer assaulted the group with torturous visions. Although the Thirteen were able to shut Unicron down soon thereafter, they did not manage to do so before he had seized the convulsing Prima, put him in his mouth, bitten down, and spat his crushed body out.

Prima survived the experience, and the Thirteen turned to the business of building the beginnings of a civilization and society on Cybertron. Prima worked primarily with Vector Prime and [[Alpha Trion (WFC)|Alpha Trion]], but their clique was treated with some degree of resentment by some of their siblings, as it was thought they were trying to control the actions of the others. Prima continued to grow even more detached as they continued their work, spending his time theorizing about the nature of the Thirteen, and categorizing them; he considered himself and other early members of the group to be forces of lawful good, but looked upon the last that had been created—chiefly, Megatronus and [[Liege Maximo]]—as chaotic and potentially evil. When Maximo discovered the writings Prima had made about this and then told Megatronus, a physical altercation between Prima and his dark opposite resulted, a permanent wedge driven between brothers. Prior to this, like Vector and Trion, Prima was confused by the blossoming love between Megatronus and Solus, but at the very least recognised it was something beautiful and that it made the pair happy, and for a time that was enough for him.

Despite his claims that the Cybertronians had only sought to bring the "light" of their perfect civilization to the galaxy, the colonialist ambitions of Cybertron were laid bare, and as a result Cybertron came to be shunned and hated by the inhabitants of the galaxy.

*In a 1989 Marvel UK issue, [[Dreadwind (G1)|Dreadwind]] told a reader "I don't think anyone knows who was actually the first ever Transformer.

*According to [[ABN]] in [[Recordicons issue 9|''Recordicons'' #9]], Vector Prime "always lies about Five Faces of Darkness". If true, this would mean that the guy from Five Faces is not necessarily Prima; we're keeping this page as-is because there's no objective evidence either way, and Prima is more convenient as a page title than "Powerful Robot".

*An idea from the [[Binder of Revelation]]—which has not made it into any fiction, and has been evinced only in the binder's profile page for [[Optimus Prime (WFC)|Optimus Prime]] published in ''[[Transformers Vault]]''—posits that individual Transformers possess a "polarity" that indicates which of the Thirteen they can trace their lineage to. Based on Optimus's profile, Transformers descended from Prima possess a "Primian" polarity—but then, Optimus would later be revealed to actually ''be'' one of the Thirteen in Aligned continuity, so good luck figuring that one out.

Latest revision as of 05:25, 15 May 2026


This article is a featured article, and considered to be one of the most informative on this wiki.

Prima? What? It's a manly name.

Among the Thirteen earliest Transformers, one must be first: Prima (aka Prima Prime), who was created the most strongly in Primus' image. Perfect and gallant, Prima was appointed the Warrior of Light and given the legendary Star Saber sword with the Matrix of Leadership in its hilt. Considered fatherlike amongst his bretheren, he was chosen to lead the Thirteen against their eternal enemy Unicron and was the chief steward of Primus' planetary form, Cybertron.

It is uncertain what relationship Prima has, if any, to Primon, another early Matrix bearer.

We are Primus. We are Prima. We are Prime Nova. We are Sentinel Prime. We are Optimus Prime.{{#if:|{{{quote2}}}}}{{#if:The essence of the Primes"Dark Creation"|The essence of the Primes{{#if:"Dark Creation"|, "Dark Creation"|}}|}}

Conceptual history

[edit]
Prima's first named appearance in the form of spooky Matrix ghost narration.

The generic ancient warrior that would one day be known as Prima first appeared in 1986 as what the script designates as "Powerful Robot" in the Generation 1 cartoon episode, "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4", created by writer Flint Dille and character designer Floro Dery as part of a walking tour of Cybertronian history via Matrix-induced vision experienced by Rodimus Prime in the cartoon's present day. Created by the Quintessons, "Powerful Robot" was the instigator of the original rebellion of the Autobots against their masters and one of the most ancient Matrix wielders witnessed by Rodimus, being preceded only by "Ancient Robot".

In 1988, issue #61 of the Generation 1 comic—written by Simon Furman—featured the first and only appearance in the series of the first Transformer to carry the legendary Creation Matrix, a blue-and-yellow robot who was one of the first generation of Cybertronians created by Primus. Though unnamed in this story, a few issues later, issue #65 provided a full list of Matrix bearers; the first name on the list was "Prima," implicitly identifying the blue-and-yellow robot as this character.

Furman continued exploring the origins of the Transformers in the Generation 2 comic, with "The Power and the Glory" giving Optimus Prime a glimpse into Cybertron's primordial past, where he sees a purple-and-yellow Transformer emerge from the planet's surface as the explicitly first Transformer created by Primus. This "first Transformer" was not depicted as a Matrix wielder, nor did the comics suggest that this character was the same one seen in "The Primal Scream". Prima's placement among the Matrix wielders would be further muddled by the BotCon 1999 story "Reaching the Omega Point" (also by Furman), which established a character called Primon as the first one to hold the Matrix, not Prima. Simon Furman's non-answer in an interview,<ref>{{#if: "We are Primus. We are Prima. We are Prime Nova. We are Sentinel Prime. We are Optimus Prime. We are THUNDERWING!"

2004's The Ultimate Guide (yet again by Furman) declared Prima to be one of the "Thirteen Original Transformers" alongside the Liege Maximo and the Fallen. Though not actually set in the world of the Marvel comic, The Ultimate Guide's re-used a panel from the Generation 2 comic showing the creation of the purple-and-yellow robot to represent the creation of Prima, effectively retroactively making the blue/yellow and purple/yellow Transformers the same character.<ref>{{#if: Molded from the living skin and imbued with a fragment of Primus' own Spark, the first TRANSFORMER—named Prima—answers his creator's urgent call to arms! |"Molded from the living skin and imbued with a fragment of Primus' own Spark, the first TRANSFORMER—named Prima—answers his creator's urgent call to arms!"—|}}{{#if: https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/y8xcna3xgv4.jpg |Simon Furman|Simon Furman}}{{#if: Transformers: The Ultimate Guide |, Transformers: The Ultimate Guide|}}{{#if: Cybertron |, "Cybertron"|}}{{#if: 2004 |, 2004{{#if: 05 |/{{#switch:{{#len:05}}|1=005|05}}{{#if: 05|/{{#switch:{{#len:05}}|1=005|05}}|}}}}|}}{{#if: https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/y8xcna3xgv4.jpg ||}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/y8xcna3xgv4.jpg%7C7%7C11}}%7Cweb.archive= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/y8xcna3xgv4.jpg%7C8%7C11}}%7Cweb.archive= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/y8xcna3xgv4.jpg%7C7%7C10}}%7Carchive.is= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/y8xcna3xgv4.jpg%7C8%7C10}}%7Carchive.is= (archive link)|}}{{#if: | (dead link)}}</ref> Prima's role as a member of an ancient pantheon, the "first Transformer", and an early Matrix wielder, were now firmly established.

The actual dovetailing of the cartoon's rebel with the Marvel demigod occurred in the Ask Vector Prime back-up feature of 2010's The AllSpark Almanac II wherein one of Prima's brothers (the titular Vector Prime) revealed the two lineages to be one and the same, both declaring "Powerful Robot" an incarnation of Prima and knitting their respective predecessors, "Ancient Robot" and Primon, into one individual.

Prima recieved a big bump in notoriety not long after when he was solidified into the "definitive" version of the Thirteen workshopped by brand architect Aaron Archer as part of backstory for the 2010s "Aligned continuity" project. Showcased with a new design by Ken Christiansen during BotCon 2010, Prima would be shown wielding his personal artifact: a new incarnation of the Star Saber, carrying the Matrix in its hilt.<ref>{{#if: |""—|}}{{#if: |[ Alex Irvine|Alex Irvine}}{{#if: Transformers: Exodus |, Transformers: Exodus|}}{{#if: |, ""|}}{{#if: 2010 |, 2010{{#if: 06 |/{{#switch:{{#len:06}}|1=006|06}}{{#if: 23|/{{#switch:{{#len:23}}|1=023|23}}|}}}}|}}{{#if: |]|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:|7|11}}|web.archive= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:|8|11}}|web.archive= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:|7|10}}|archive.is= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:|8|10}}|archive.is= (archive link)|}}{{#if: | (dead link)}}</ref><ref>{{#if: |""—|}}{{#if: |[ Rik Alvarez?|Rik Alvarez?}}{{#if: Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club #30 |, Hasbro Transformers Collectors' Club #30|}}{{#if: Nexus Prime |, "Nexus Prime"|}}{{#if: 2009 |, 2009{{#if: 12 |/{{#switch:{{#len:12}}|1=012|12}}{{#if: |/{{#switch:{{#len:}}|1=0{{{day}}}|{{{day}}}}}|}}}}|}}{{#if: |]|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:|7|11}}|web.archive= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:|8|11}}|web.archive= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:|7|10}}|archive.is= (archive link)|}}{{#switch:{{#sub:|8|10}}|archive.is= (archive link)|}}{{#if: | (dead link)}}</ref>.

Prima's orderly nature would clash with Megatronus's brash and violent nature, leading to arguments that laid the groundwork for the War of the Primes. This feud between Prima and Megatronus would inform future characterizations of Prima in the 2005 IDW continuity and the Transformers Collectors' Club's incarnation of Ask Vector Prime.

Prima would be featured in the 2018 Power of the Primes franchise with the name "Prima Prime", which would be reused for Prima's big screen debut in 2024's Transformers One as well as the 2025 Age of the Primes toyline. One introduced an incarnation of the character who wasn't a Matrix wielder: that role would be given to the film's Thirteenth Prime, Zeta Prime. Age of the Primes would introduce the first proper toy for Prima Prime, amalgamating his Covenant and "Powerful Robot" designs together.

I am Sparktacus!

In Cybertron's ancient past, an underperforming mechanoid was smelted down by its Quintesson masters, and reforged into a powerful robot who, through unknown circumstances, became the second documented bearer of the Matrix of Leadership. This powerful robot was unusual amongst his consumer goods brethren in that he was equipped for combat, and was made to battle in the Quintessons' gladiatorial pits. He found the endless fighting repellent, and, after one particular battle with another robot, decided to strike back at his masters, leaping at the group of Quintessons that had been watching the match. He was blasted out of the air, and fell to the ground in a smoking wreck, apparently deceased. The Matrix was passed to a brooding robot, who succeeded him as its bearer.

When Rodimus Prime journeyed inside the Matrix, this powerful robot was the second guide he encountered, and he told him the story of the Quintessons' gladiatorial matches. Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4

Marvel The Transformers comics

[edit]

After Primus had imprisoned his and Unicron's astral forms in asteroids, he reshaped his new body into the planet Cybertron. From the material of this world was born the first Transformer, Prima. Prima and his fellow Transformers were given the gift of transformation, an ability that mirrored Unicron's own powers, so that one day they would be able to unite against him and defeat him. Prima was given the Genetic Matrix, a powerful artifact endowed with Primus's own life essence, which would allow Prima to create further generations of Transformers. The Primal Scream

Prime Nova later became the next Matrix bearer after Prima. Dark Creation

Marvel Generation 2 comic

[edit]

Prima emerged from primordial Cybertron with the in-built power to bring forth new Transformers through a process known as "budding", and the first few generations of Cybertronians were replicated in this way. However, the method of reproduction diluted Primus's essence with each generation. This process reached a preprogrammed end, and Primus's progeny lost both their ability to bud and all memory of the process. Many, many years later, Optimus Prime witnessed visions of this ancient history after using a psychic amplifier to commune with the Matrix. The Power and the Glory

Revenge of the Fallen film

[edit]

After the Fallen was caught trying to harvest a star from a system with life, he turned on the other Primes and made war on them. In order to prevent the Fallen from harvesting the star, the remaining Primes (including Prima) hid the key to the harvester inside a tomb made of their own bodies and sealed it with their own life essence. Revenge of the Fallen

Prima's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the novel Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Where the comics had used the "Protoform Optimus Prime" toy to represent Prima, this design is not used in the film, so identifying which one is Prima is not possible.

IDW movie comics

[edit]

Prima proposed to the Dynasty of Primes that they should make it a rule to not destroy the stars from systems with life. He also renamed the Fallen after the latter intentionally destroyed such a system. When the Fallen attempted this again on Earth, the original seven Primes battled him and fell one by one, until only Prima was left.<ref>The last Prime, based on Protoform Optimus Prime, was identified as Prima at the BotCon 2010 "Hasbro Designer" panel, as per audience members.</ref> Prima let the Fallen chase him around the planet until he was weakened by overusing space bridges, allowing Prima to gather his brothers' bodies and use their remaining power to banish the Fallen to his sarcophagus. Tales of the Fallen #4

Prima presumably created a tomb from his and his brothers' bodies to hide the Matrix of Leadership, giving his own spark to seal it from within. Though the Fallen's evil would return to Cybertron to kill the rest of the Dynasty, it would be his orphaned descendant who would be hidden away. Revenge of the Fallen #3

The Covenant of Primus

[edit]
Whoever lives by the sword shall die by the sword.

As the first of the Thirteen created, Prima was cast in the mold of Primus himself, a warrior of great virtue and nobility who placed the greater good above all else. Though self-aware enough to not be a pompous leader to his siblings, he tended to take too much weight upon his shoulders, and his persistent conviction that he was always right made him difficult to deal with. He tended to clash with Megatronus, who served as his opposite among the Thirteen, a warrior of darkness who represented a natural counterbalance to Prima's role as the warrior of light. Such arguments characterized their interactions while the Thirteen trained and prepared to take on the menace of Unicron.

In the course of the battle with Unicron, Prima lost his grip upon his Star Saber when the Chaos Bringer assaulted the group with torturous visions. Although the Thirteen were able to shut Unicron down soon thereafter, they did not manage to do so before he had seized the convulsing Prima, put him in his mouth, bitten down, and spat his crushed body out.

Prima survived the experience, and the Thirteen turned to the business of building the beginnings of a civilization and society on Cybertron. Prima worked primarily with Vector Prime and Alpha Trion, but their clique was treated with some degree of resentment by some of their siblings, as it was thought they were trying to control the actions of the others. Prima continued to grow even more detached as they continued their work, spending his time theorizing about the nature of the Thirteen, and categorizing them; he considered himself and other early members of the group to be forces of lawful good, but looked upon the last that had been created—chiefly, Megatronus and Liege Maximo—as chaotic and potentially evil. When Maximo discovered the writings Prima had made about this and then told Megatronus, a physical altercation between Prima and his dark opposite resulted, a permanent wedge driven between brothers. Prior to this, like Vector and Trion, Prima was confused by the blossoming love between Megatronus and Solus, but at the very least recognised it was something beautiful and that it made the pair happy, and for a time that was enough for him.

"You think three on one will do any good? Do you have any power to defeat me?"

Some time later, when Prima discovered that Megatronus and Liege Maximo were working on a secret project of their own, creating a race of robotic creatures, he demanded it be shut down, suspecting them of having a sinister ulterior motive even if he could not see it. He forced the rest of the Thirteen into a vote on the matter and emerged victorious. This was to be the catalyst for the final falling out between the Primes: furious that she had voted against him, Megatronus subsequently argued with and inadvertently killed Solus. He retreated to the wilderness of Cybertron, but Prima and the others tracked him down and brought him back to face justice, only for it to become apparent that Maximo had set Megatronus up. Things quickly devolved into a chaotic free-for-all fight between the siblings, which ended with Maximo dead by uncertain hands. Megatronus was exiled for his crimes, and (with Solus' death still weighing heavily on him) requested Vector Prime to open a portal to send him to some far-off world where he would never do harm again. Prima instead offered him a ship that they'd been working on, expressing hope that perhaps if he traveled he might find some measure of peace or a way to suitably honour her. Megatronus was surprised by the conciliatory gesture and hoped Prima was right before taking his leave. Prima took custody of the Requiem Blaster and cast it into the depths of space.

As the rest of the Thirteen spread out into the universe, Prima was among those who decided to remain on Cybertron to guide the new race of beings that emerged from the Well of All Sparks after they interred the deceased Solus within it. Prima dubbed the more primitive and bestial of the creatures that emerged "Predacons". He defended the more advanced, bipedal robots that came from the Well against the powerful Predaking once. Prima fought Predaking to a standstill, and declared the bipeds off limits for Predaking's feasting. His show of strength cowed the Predaking into submitting to Prima's will, the only example of such submission in Predaking's long history. Predaking would occasionally catch sight of Prima observing from afar, but as he kept his word and no longer preyed on the bipedal Cybertronians, Prima was apparently content to simply keep an optic on things.

After the Great Cataclysm, Prima vanished from the annals of history, and was no longer seen walking among the people of Cybertron. The surviving Cybertronians soon forgot about the Thirteen as real people, remembering them only as the heroes of ancient folklore. The Covenant of Primus

He also spent his free time writing strategy guides for video games.

Prima was one of the Primes who led the Thirteen Tribes that rose to prominence on Cybertron following the departure of the Knights of Cybertron from the planet, and fancied himself as the last of the Knights. Like four others, he was attracted to the Crystal City alliance, Origin Myths where he emerged as the leader of the Thirteen. Solus Prime eventually forged the Star Saber which Prima came to wield.

Urged on by Onyx Prime, Prima oversaw a mission of colonization to expand the Pax Cybertronia, sending the Titan Nemesis to colonize the neighboring world of Antilla. Despite his claims that the Cybertronians had only sought to bring the "light" of their perfect civilization to the galaxy, the colonialist ambitions of Cybertron were laid bare, and as a result Cybertron came to be shunned and hated by the inhabitants of the galaxy. Prima laid the blame for this at Megatronus's feet and was eventually attacked by his fellow Prime in revenge, only being saved through Solus's sacrifice. This act sparked the First Cybertronian Civil War, and while Megatronus managed to flee, Prima captured his co-conspirator, Liege Maximo, who was eventually exiled aboard Vigilem.

Prima's brief foray into 1000-degree knife videos ended in disaster.

Aboard the Titan Emissary, Prima led Onyx and Alpha Trion to hunt down Megatronus and bring him to justice, eventually locating him on Tsiehshi. When Prima found his adversary, Megatronus promptly seized the Star Saber and turned it back on its wielder, bisecting him. Prima would never learn that the 'bot he had known as "Onyx Prime" was actually a convenient disguise assumed by a time displaced Shockwave from ten million years in the future, who proceeded to behead Megatronus before recounting to Alpha Trion a romanticized version of the battle that claimed Prima and Megatronus, now known as the Fallen, had slain one another.

The loss of his master caused Emissary to become distraught. After returning Onyx and Trion to Cybertron, Emissary interred Prima's remains within himself and set off for deep space, eventually crash-landing on prehistoric Elonia as a result of his systems being sabotaged by Shockwave.

In Prima's absence his former seat of power, the Citadel of Light, came under siege by Onyx's bestial hordes. After Nova Major and Galvatron managed to beat back the invaders, Alpha Trion arranged for Nova Major to become Nova Prime.

Power of the Primes toy bios

[edit]

Prima's Spark passed into the possession of one of the twelve Prime Masters; hidden within a suit of decoy armor, they safeguarded the abilities of the Primes until the present day. By uniting with a larger Transformer, the Prime Master could channel the powers of Prima's Spark and grant them unique abilities that varied with each new partner. Power of the Primes

Prima was one of the Thirteen Primes. End of Time

One film

[edit]

Prima Prime was one of the original thirteen Primes created by Primus. This Prima did not carry the Matrix of Leadership, as that honor was given to his brother Zeta Prime. He ruled with his siblings until the Quintessons invaded. After years of war, he and the other Primes responded to the intel of a Quintesson council of generals reported by Sentinel, unaware that the aide was luring them into a trap. Prima was killed in battle with the other Primes, and laid there for fifty cycles until Alpha Trion borrowed his transformation cog and those of his siblings to bestow upon the miners that found their tomb.<ref>In the film, Prima's cog is shown going to D-16, while the film's novelization states it went to Orion Pax. It doesn't ultimately have a significant effect on the story as a whole, so deciding which bot the cog went to somewhat becomes a matter of personal canon.</ref> One

Transformers Roleplaying Game

[edit]

Most historical accounts agree that Prima was the first Prime. A fearsome warrior, Prima wielded the Star Saber and the Skyboom Shield; some humans deified him as the god [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Zeus|{{#if:||Zeus}}]]. Transformers One Sourcebook

Toys

[edit]

Transformers (2007)

[edit]
Guess who ya gotta buy now to finish your Thirteen collection?
  • Protoform Optimus Prime (Deluxe Class, 2007)
Prima was repurposed from Protoform Optimus Prime in Tales of the Fallen #4.
Based upon the "Protoform" (Cybertronian) appearances of the Transformers in the 2007 movie, Transformers "Protoform Optimus Prime" transforms into his "entry" mode. This mode somewhat resembles a cybertronic truck, with false wheels sculpted onto the sides and Optimus Prime's trademark windows in front. A flame decoration piece fits to the back of the "vehicle", creating the illusion of a flaming comet's tail. The bottom of the vehicle has small wheels to roll the toy across smooth surfaces. Oddly, it has NO Automorph Technology gimmick at all, a feature most main-line figures have.
In robot mode, he resembles previous Optimus characters: His angular chest windows are reminiscent of Cybertron Optimus Prime, while his near-animalistic limbs and color scheme are evocative of Beast Wars Optimus Primal. He has excellent articulation due to his many ball joints, and is armed with a rifle. The flame attachment can fit onto the end of the (non-firing) gun barrel.
Some packaging variants of this figure (perhaps a Wal-Mart exclusive) included a free movie poster depicting a Cybertronian eye overlooking Earth. While an added sticker to the outer plastic bubble says "Exclusive movie poster!", it is more of a preview of upcoming figures.
This mold was also used to make Movie Advanced Series Protoform Optimus Prime.

Power of the Primes

[edit]
"There's no such thing as a Prima Prime!"
  • Throne of the Primes (Leader Class, 2018)
  • TakaraTomy ID number: PP-43
  • TakaraTomy release date: January 26, 2019
  • Known designers: Marcelo Matere (throne designer, packaging artist){{#if: |, {{{2}}}}}
Power of the Primes "Prima Prime" (ha ha, yes, Hasbro went with this naming) is a retool of the Solus Prime/Octopunch inner robot with a new Prime Master sigil/backpack (seemingly inspired by the previous Protoform Optimus Prime repurposing and Covenant of Primus design's chest), packaged in the Throne of the Primes set.
This toy has identical features to the other Prime Masters in the line. The Titan Master-like robot can store inside decoy armor or ride Legends Class figures in vehicle mode, and is fully compatible with toys from the previous Titans Return line. The "Power Swap" gimmick means its spark form can plug onto any decoy armor's weapon form (which has a 5 mm post to be held by larger figures), Deluxe Class figures' chest armor, Voyager Class figures' bucklers, Leader Class figures' Matrix (in place of their Matrix core), combiners' torsos (in place of their Enigma of Combination), or the included Scepter of Sparks or Halo of Primus accessories. With the power of your imagination, this bestows the Prime Master's unique power on the larger figure.
While Prima is a retool of Solus Prime (gang-molded with her included Octopunch decoy armor), it is unknown what gang-molded decoy armor he would have had as a hypothetical mass-retail Prime Master.
This set debuted at San Diego Comic-Con 2018, and was later sold via Hasbro Toy Shop online. It was also available at general retail in Taiwan.


"It's a real term! Look it up!"
  • Punch-Counterpunch (Special Edition, 2018)
Power of the Primes "Special Edition" Prima Prime is a translucent redeco of the above figure, packaged with Punch-Counterpunch in commemoration of the third iteration of the Prime Wars Trilogy.
This set was an Amazon exclusive in the United States, initially revealed via preorder listing without any prior announcement from Hasbro. It was also available at general retail in Singapore.

Age of the Primes

[edit]
Sentinel was right, there is such a thing as a primer Prime!
  • The Thirteen Prima Prime (Voyager Class, 2025)
Age of the Primes "Prima Prime" is a Voyager-scale robot primarily based on his Covenant of Primus design, with his head modeled after the "Powerful Robot" later retconned to be Prima and his shoulder pads lifted directly from the Cyberverse statue. He transforms into a Cybertronian armored lunar truck (with a hover mode!), and includes both the Star Saber and the Matrix of Leadership.
Prima's Matrix, while the same style as most Matrices dating back to War for Cybertron: Earthrise, is painted to resemble the Origin Matrix as it appeared in "Another Light, Part Four" and can attach at the hilt of the Star Saber or store in Prima's chest. In vehicle mode, the sword can be mounted on the front bumper as a ram. Alternatively, the blade and crossguard can be separated from the hilt, and the former can then be stored with the top side up. Like the other Primes, his packaging and signature artifact are emblazoned with his personal emblem, with his being located on the Star Saber's crossguard. Certain TakaraTomy stock images show the hilt piece in gray, but the actual release has it in the same white as Prima himself, which is reflected in most other stock imagery.
Exercise caution when rolling Prima in vehicle mode, as the robot head underneath may have its paint scratched if it is rolled onto the ground roughly.
Prima Prime was revealed at Cybertron Con 2024, and went up for preorder on December 10.
