Fiction
Primeval Dawn comics
After the Beast Wars, sensing the approach of a new enemy, the Vok reanimated Tigerhawk's binary spark and used it to create Transmetal Tigatron and Airazor. Travelling to Earth themselves, the Vok used the Optimal Optimus control suit, the Transmetal Driver, and the Matrix of Leadership hidden within Optimus Prime to create their new emissary: Primal Prime. This new hero's spark, widsom, and power would all be donated by the Matrix itself. Primeval Dawn, Part 1 Primal Prime met the newly recreated Tigatron and Airazor, warning them 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 (whose apparent Vok-caused death had all been a ruse allowing him to steal their power) and his minions. In a tragically decisive battle, Tarantulas torn open Primal Prime’s chest and removed the Matrix, gloating about the beginning of the "End of Days." Airazor bemoaned the fact that, by separating the Matrix from Optimus Prime and containing it within Primal Prime, the Vok had dissolved "the primal forces that bound it to a leader-born," making it vulnerable to Tarantulas's goals. Primeval Dawn, Part 2
The shock of the Matrix' forcible removal sent Primal Prime into a sort of limbo, with the Maximals assuming his synapse network had been burned out. While in limbo, Primal Prime communed with the Vok, who divulged their origins as the Swarm and said they were “of the source, of the core, forever committed to the safeguard of The Plan.” The Vok then went on to merge with Primal Prime using him as a vessel, a pure font of energy to rival the Matrix itself. The newly Vok-empowered Primal Prime emerged behind Tigatron and prepared to go into battle. Primeval Dawn, Part 3
