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

Go ahead, try and make a toy of me. I dare you.

Amalgamous Prime is one of the Thirteen, the original Primes, who were created by Primus to battle and defeat his nemesis, Unicron. A gentle, good-natured prankster, Amalgamous Prime was the trickster of the Thirteen and the master of change; he could instantaneously assume just about any shape he could imagine. Amalgamous's curious nature and independent mind meant that he rarely stayed in one place for very long. His equally mutable Scythe mimicked his own whimsical form, constantly changing from one shape or state of matter to another. Supposedly, he would go on to found the Shifters, who took after his fluid and malleable nature.

Fiction

Aligned continuity family

The Covenant of Primus

Amalgamous Prime was the ninth Prime created by Primus to defeat Unicron. He possessed two artifacts of power - his shapeshifting Scythe and the original Transformation Cog, which caused him to shift and flow constantly. In the ensuing battle against Primus's archenemy, Amalgamous fought on the front lines as a warrior, and together the Thirteen saw off Unicron. In the age of peace and rebuilding that followed, Amalgamous, Liege Maximo, and Micronus Prime busied themselves with mining and refining Energon, although personality conflicts simmered between the trio and Alpha Trion, Prima, and Vector Prime, who Amalgamous viewed as bossy and controlling.

After the schism that resulted in the deaths of Solus Prime and Liege Maximo and the self-imposed exile of Megatronus, the Primes decided to create a new generation of Cybertronians that might follow them. Amalgamous Prime provided the imprint of his Transformation Cog to their alchemical "brew" in the Well of All Sparks, so that all Cybertronians that emerged would have his gift of transformation, albeit to a lesser degree.

Amalgamous eventually left Cybertron for parts unknown, although 'bots of his archetype would occasionally demonstrate greater shape-changing abilities, arising as the Shifters.

After Cybertron's Golden Age, Mercury and her displaced fleet of Neutronian refugees discovered Amalgamous Prime's Transformation Cog near a black hole, and took it on board. Prolonged exposure to the Cog altered their physiologies, giving them the power of unlimited shapeshifting and the ability to combine with one another into many different forms. Thus altered, these Transformers renamed themselves Mutacons, and began searching for Amalgamous in the hopes that he could undo the change before they permanently merged into a single amorphous being.

Aligned novels

Among the Thirteen, Amalgamous Prime's talent for change was rivaled only by Nexus Prime. While Nexus excelled in combination, separation, and alt-forms, though, Amalgamous Prime could alter his shape itself, assuming any appearance he desired. Impatient and perhaps selfish, Amalgamous expressed his distaste to Solus Prime when she dedicated so much of her time to the creation of Megatronus's Requiem Blaster. Amalgamous Prime's fate after the betrayal of Megatronus and the plotting of Liege Maximo remained unknown. Only Alpha Trion and Alchemist Prime remained on Cybertron as the planet's civilization developed, but legend has it that Amalgamous may have returned at a later date, and the rarely seen modern Transformers known as "Shifters" are somehow descended from him.

Ask Vector Prime

During the time that the Thirteen of the multiverse existed as singularities, Vector Prime recounted in his ANN column how Amalgamous and four of his siblings ended up in the Realm of the Primes following the dissolution of the Thirteen. When Vector Prime (who had self-induced amnesia in order to protect the location of Nexus Prime's components) ended up in the Realm of the Primes during his campaign against Mogahn the Mass, Vector's siblings unlocked his memories as Primus's appointed guardian of space and time. Vector Prime then returned to normal space and wrested away Mogahn's Cyber Caliber. Using Amalgamous's gift, Vector reformatted the blade into Rhisling and vanquished Mogahn, sending the Mass back in time and thus causing the Big Bang.

Vector's audience was confused by this account, however, as Amalgamous was not known to be a member of the Thirteen outside of the Uniend Cluster, and moreover, Vector had claimed that he used to go by the name "Adaptus", who readers understood to be a separate entity from another universe. The distressed Vector realized that he was somehow conflating memories from different universes into one (in actuality, a portent of the coming Shroud that would eradicate the Thirteen's singularity nature), making it hard to know whether Amalgamous was truly part of the events he had described or not.

Amalgamous was one of the Thirteen Primes who led the Thirteen Tribes that arose on Cybertron following the departure of the Knights of Cybertron. Lagrange Origin Myths Along with four others, he later joined the Crystal City alliance creating the Thirteen Primes. The First Who Was Named The death of Nexus Prime at the hands of Galvatron prompted all the remaining Primes except Alpha Trion to flee Cybertron. Eons later, Shockwave would send one of his Regenesis ores, Ore-9, to Velocitron, The Crucible The Hallowing which had been settled in eons past by Amalagamous's affiliated Titan Navitas.

In the modern day, Amalgamous Prime's name was remembered in the Way of Flame, the religion of Solus Prime's colony Caminus. Lagrange

Power of the Primes marketing material

Amalgamous Prime'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 Amalgamous's Spark and grant them unique abilities that varied with each new partner. Power of the Primes

I'm on the left! So they say.

Amalgamous Prime and the other twelve Primes were created by Primus at the dawn of Cybertron, and they ruled Cybertron benevolently through its Golden Age. When a war with the Quintessons threw the planet into a protracted, violent conflict, the Primes' secretary, Sentinel Prime, herded the Thirteen into a Quintesson ambush within a remote cave. Amalgamous would be killed during the battle, with his brothers' and sisters' bodies resting in the cave for fifty cycles before being rediscovered by miners Orion Pax, D-16, Elita, and B-127.

A vision of Amalgamous Prime and the other Primes later appeared as Alpha Trion declared a damaged Orion Pax to be the next wielder of the Matrix of Leadership, Optimus Prime. Transformers One

Transformers Roleplaying Game

Amalgamous Prime was sometimes known as the “Grand Architect” of the Thirteen. A curious, ever-shifting being, Amalgamous adopted thousands of alternate modes over the course of his life; some knew him as Adaptus, and some sources suggest that Amalgamous engineered the God War that precipitated the fall of the Primes. Ancient humans knew him as [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Poseidon|{{#if:||Poseidon}}]]. Transformers One Sourcebook In modern times, Amalgamous was closely associated with Triple Changers. Core Rulebook

Toys

Power of the Primes

Wow, we weren't expecting a real toy of this guy.
  • Throne of the Primes (Leader Class, 2018)
  • Japanese ID number: PP-43
  • TakaraTomy release date: January 26, 2019
  • Known designers: Marcelo Matere (throne designer, packaging artist){{#if: |, {{{2}}}}}
Power of the Primes Amalgamous Prime is a retool of the Micronus/Cloudburst inner robot with a new sigil/backpack, 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.
Though Amalgamous is not packaged with a decoy armor, one assumes given gang-molding principles that Amalgamous's tooling is paired with the Waverider-themed armor that was almost used for Legends Grand Maximus.
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.

Age of the Primes

I'm even realerer now. Dismantle me!
  • The Thirteen Amalgamous Prime (Voyager Class, 2026)
  • Accessories: Scythe, T-Cog
  • Known designers: Hisashi Yuki (Takara Tomy){{#if: |, {{{2}}}}}
Released as part of the first 2026 wave of Age of the Primes, Amalgamous Prime is modelled after a blend of his designs from the Covenant of Primus and Transformers: One. Stock images show him transforming into a spider-tank, but befitting his infinitely changeable nature, parts can be removed and re-arranged to form "about five different modes". He comes with two artefacts, his T-Cog, and his Scythe. The T-Cog is removable, usually forming the pupil of his mono one-eye, while the scythe forms the gun turret in tank mode.
Amalgamous was initially revealed at San Diego Comic-Con 2025.
