| This article is about the scriptural Covenant of Primus. For the twelve pre-Cybertronic Transformers that guarded time and space, see Covenant (BW). |
The Covenant of Primus (or Book of Primus) is a compilation of Transformers scriptural texts believed to be prophetic. Only two copies remain and were placed on the Ark and the Nemesis. They speak of apocalyptic battles at the end of an age, It is believed that the Covenant of Primus foretold the Beast Wars. It was from these scriptures that Predacon Megatron took his name. (It is possible the original Megatron took his name from them as well.)
