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]].

Trypticon doesn't like to think of himself as the "boss" of the Mercenaries, goodness no. That feels too corporate-y. The Mercenaries are more like a family! And families are open to working unpaid overtime and weekends, right? We're a team! A team that feels like a friendly, informal work environment, so long as you work inerrantly. And by inerrantly, we also mean going the extra mile. That's what teams and families do. We here at the Team Family Mercenaries expect results. Oh, you had a problem? You're fired. You're all fired. You don't get to use the foosball table in lieu of salary anymore.

Boss isn't really an accurate description. I think of myself more as a firm yet fair employer, who expects nothing less than dedicated employees who will always do their best.

—Trypticon, "The Immobilizers"
