| The name or term "Prime" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Prime (disambiguation). |
- Primal Prime is a Maximal from the Beast Machines era of the Generation 1 continuity family.
Primal Prime is, essentially, the Living Matrix. Born from the Vok's fusion of their knowledge, detritus left aboard the Ark, and the Matrix of Leadership, Primal Prime possesses great power and understanding. However, he is still technically a newborn, whose memories are faint shadows of those long departed. He worries that he is too detached, too gullible, to lead his troops sufficiently. These crushing doubts are seemingly his only weakness.
Fiction
Primeval Dawn comics
Set sometime after the Beast Wars, Primeval Dawn picks up where the show left off leading into Beast Machines. The Vok, sensing a great enemy was coming, dispatched Tigerhawk’s binary spark, which would later split into Transmetal Tigatron and Transmetal Airrazor, and traveled to earth themselves to create a new emissary. The Vok, utilizing the Optimal Optimus control suit, the Transmetal Driver, and the Matrix of Leadership hidden within Optimus Prime created Primal Prime; a new hero with whom the Matrix, itself, would provide his spark, his wisdom, and his power to lead a new group of heroes against evil. Primeval Dawn, Part 1 Primal Prime met up with the newly created Tigatron and Airrazor and told them of how he knew darkness would be coming and that he would be responsible for it. Nevertheless, the Maximals still decided to follow Primal Prime and went in search of more comrades to help their cause.
Primal Prime carried the Matrix of Leadership into battle with Tarantulas, whom was still alive and empowered by the Vok who were though to have caused his demise, and his dark minions on earth. In a seemingly one-sided battle Tarantulas torn open Primal Prime’s chest and removed the matrix gloating about the beginning of the End of Days. The reason for Primal Prime's swift defeat being not only Tarantulas’ new supreme power but also the fact that, according to Airrazor, when the Vok had chosen to isolate the Matrix in a champion of their own creation they had dissolved the primal forces that bound it to a leader-born having exposed it.

- Primal Prime (2000)
- Primal Prime is a red and blue redeco of Optimal Optimus available in limited quantaties of 10,000 at Target stores. He is also a slight retool as the button on the back is shaped differently. The red and blue colors are designed to make him look more like Optimus Prime. Unlike his comic appearance, his faceplate has not been remolded.
Titanium
- Primal Prime (6-inch Cybertron Heroes, 2007)
- In early 2007, a listing appeared for a 6-inch Primal Prime[1]. He will presumably be a repaint/mold of Optimal Optimus.
