I'm sure I'm just a wise old sage and nothing any more complicated or cosmic than that!

Alpha Trion, sometimes called A-3 or Sig-Omega, is one of the oldest living Transformers, with some claiming that he dates back to the very first generation of Cybertronians. His age has given him unprecedented experience and the wisdom that comes with it; to that end, Alpha Trion has dedicated himself to recording Cybertron's history in the Covenant of Primus, knowing that those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.

Though in his younger years he fought against those beings that threatened Cybertron and its freedom, in his older years he has eschewed the path of the warrior, preferring to serve as an advisor to other Transformers; he now acts as a mentor and guide to many an Autobot leader, having particuarly close relationships with Optimus Prime and Elita One. Even they, however, know little of the enigmatic sage's true history, and his connections to Vector Sigma, Primus, and the history of Cybertron itself have boosted him to legendary status.

Though making two Autobots with polar opposite personalities able to combine might have seemed counter-intuitive, Alpha Trion knew what great potential this would ultimately yield for the brothers.

Optimus Prime, feeling a sense of coming dread, was sent by the Mini-Con Over-Run to one of countless uplink platforms. Here, Over-Run told him, was a direct point of access to Cybertron's planetwide internal mainframe, a mass intellect which could give him answers. Touching the platform, Prime was transported into the Hub, a digital world, where a bearded sage appeared. It was revealed to Prime that Unicron would return, the Terrorcons were gathering, and that his old foe Megatron still persisted within the heart of Unicron. And most importantly, Energon existed in vast quantities on Earth, and the Terrorcons would strike there soon! This Evil Reborn

Prime returned with this information to the Autobot High Council at the High Halls, telling him of the vision he received from this planetary intelligence named "Sig-Omega". High Councilor Levitacus rejected this news, for they had never heard of such an entity. What Lies Beneath

Critically damaged during an attack by Unicron's Four Horsemen, Strongarm took Prime to another uplink platform, where he once again communed with the bearded sage. He granted Prime and various other fallen Autobots who surrounded him the Spark of Combination. With this upgrade, the Autobots were able to repel the invasion. What Lies Beneath, Part Two

Being interviewed by Barbara Walters, apparently.

Billions of stellar cycles before the Decepticon movement had even been conceived, Alpha Trion fought in countless Cybertronian battles. He is, perhaps, the oldest Transformer anybody knows. These days, however, Alpha Trion is just a civilian, serving as the head of the Guilds Domesticus in the Autobot High Council. In this role he presents a constant challenge to Sentinel Prime, reminding the arrogant Elite Guardsman that the Guild is in charge of the military, and not the other way around. Sentinel disagrees with the ancient bot, feeling that he's simply been out of combat for too long to be relevant.

Use the Force, Luke.

Alpha Trion was present at the council meeting where Ultra Magnus announced that the likely coordinated attacks on space bridges by the Decepticons were the work of a spy in their midst. He gave Longarm Prime an odd look when the security director rather abruptly demanded that all communications from Optimus Prime's crew on Earth be filtered through him, "no exceptions". TransWarped

Alpha Trion, Perceptor, and Cliffjumper had a "council" talk regarding how they didn't want Sentinel Prime as commander. During Sentinel's parade through a Cybertronian city with Blitzwing and the Starscream clones, Alpha Trion and Perceptor seemed less than impressed by the temporary Magnus's attitude. Decepticon Air

Alpha Trion was given his first real assessment of Sentinel Prime's ability to lead when Omega Supreme appeared over the capital city under the control of Megatron. Sentinel advocated that they attack immediately and end the threat of Megatron at once. However, Ratchet, Omega's former mentor-bot, in the company of a small organic, said that Omega had absorbed so much transwarp energy that destroying the huge Autobot could take Cybertron with him. Alpha Trion announced that the High Council would deliberate on its options. Ratchet, however, broke out in an attempt to make contact with Omega Supreme, and Sentinel Prime diverted all essential energon to Fortress Maximus, ultimately firing on Omega Supreme, who transwarped away. After that, Alpha Trion made sure that it was known that Ratchet and the organic were the real heroes of the day, and reprimanded Sentinel for disregarding the Council's authority. Sentinel shot back that he would repeat his actions again if it meant saving Cybertron, and Alpha Trion made his position very clear: if it were up to him, Sentinel would never get that chance.

The Covenant of Primus

"So, when can we use the hot tub?"

Alpha Trion was the third Prime created by Primus to defeat Unicron. The group of newborn Primes soon began experimenting with their powers and artefacts, strategizing for the coming conflict with their creator's arch-nemesis. Alpha Trion preferred to strategize than directly fight, and trained alongside Quintus Prime, Liege Maximo, and Micronus Prime. The Thirteen Primes ultimately triumphed over Unicron with the help of Solus Prime's many artifacts, although the malevolent presence of Unicron's anti-spark meant that all of the Primes, Trion included, were irrevocably tainted with a touch of darkness.

In the period following Unicron's defeat, the Primes began rebuilding Cybertron, each focusing on their own interest. Trion collaborated with Prima and Vector Prime with the establishment of government, creating order for later civilizations. Trion was surprised when Megatronus and Solus Prime's feelings for one another blossomed into mutual love, but said nothing of the matter. Alpha Trion would later investigate Quintus Prime's unethical experiments, which involved pitting specially-engineered robotic beasts against one another underneath Cybertron. Liege Maximo's manipulations led to the accidental murder of Solus Prime by Megatronus, even as Maximo himself blamed Megatronus for the manipulation. Battle broke out between all thirteen Primes, and they all wound up falling into the caverns below Cybertron, temporarily knocking Alpha Trion unconscious.

When Trion came round, he noticed that Liege Maximo had been blown apart with the Requiem Blaster, and Onyx Prime had been grievously wounded by Quintus's beasts. After the construction of Solus Prime's tomb, Megatronus departed into space, renaming himself "The Fallen". Alpha Trion and the remaining Primes hatched a new plan to revitalize Cybertron.

Alpha Trion and his closest friend Alchemist Prime retired from leadership roles, but would subtly guide the progress of the Cybertronian race. Onyx, Micronus, and Thirteen entered the Well of All Sparks and activated it, giving birth to the Cybertronian race. Alpha Trion went along with Prima's plan to keep the existence of T-cogs —and by extension, the ability to transform- a secret for the time being. One of the robots to emerge from the Well was Orion Pax, the reborn shape of the Thirteenth Prime, who had voluntarily entered the Well and allowed himself to be reborn so as to better understand the new Transformer civilization. Alpha Trion made sure to track Pax's progress as he moved through life.

After the Great Cataclysm and the founding of Iacon, Trion took up residence there and founded the Hall of Records. When the first Quintessons arrived on the planet and gave Cybertronians the "gift" of transformation by reactivating the dormant T-cogs, Alpha Trion ruefully noted that even he had been momentarily deceived by the Quintesson's false promises.

After Cybertron's Golden Age, Sentinel Zeta Prime began sequestering Cybertronians under the caste system. Trion sought council with Vector Sigma, hoping to gain access to the Matrix of Leadership and use it to revitalize Cybertron's increasingly static society. Vector Sigma refused to give him access to the artifact, but reassured him that the time would soon be right for the Matrix's arrival. Instead, the computer gave him the Badge of Vector Prime, to be given to Sentinel as a gift. The Badge reacted with Trion's copy of the Covenant and his Quill, creating a new and mostly indecipherable passage calling for the reawakening of the Thirteenth Prime. Alpha Trion realized that Orion needed an equal and opposite number to inspire the archivist and hopefully jog his memory.

While he waited, Alpha Trion sequestered himself within the Hall of Records, and eventually became a recluse. He kept himself busy by monitoring transmissions from across the planet, and grew increasingly interested in the exploits of a gladiator named D-16, who had recently taken on the nickname of "Megatronus". Encouraged by Alpha Trion, Orion Pax and Megatronus became friends and intellectual sparring partners. Trion hoped that this friendship would lead to the fulfillment of the prophecy, and that Orion Pax's idealism would temper Megatronus's aggressive urges. At a council meeting secretly organized by Trion, Sentinel and the High Council named Orion the new Prime, but Megatron's jealousy and inability to share power led to the first shots of the Great War.

During the Great War, Alpha Trion was assigned Smokescreen as a security guard. To keep the various artefacts of the Primes out of Decepticon hands, Trion began launching them off planet in artificial meteoroids. He launched many of these artefacts to Earth, as he sensed that one day the war would spill over to the organic planet. After the majority of Transformers left Cybertron, Trion remained on the planet with a handful of other Autobots, including the Wreckers and Dinobots, and together they continued fighting against Shockwave's remnant Decepticon forces.

He would remain aware of Optimus's progress on Earth, however, and eventually transcribed many of his adventures into the Covenant of Primus itself.

At some point after the rejuvenation of Cybertron, Alpha Trion transmitted an altered copy of the Covenant to Earth, so that humans could learn more about their galactic neighbors. The Covenant of Primus

Stop writing down everything I say, Trion!

Alpha Trion was informed by Orion Pax of an upstart Kaonian gladiator named Megatronus, and was played a recording of his speeches regarding a Cybertronian's right to self determination, defying the caste system. Alpha Trion acknowledged that Megatronus's tirades were the fruit of a society that discouraged ambition.

When terrorists began bombing Cybertron, Alpha Trion saw the gladiator — whose name was shortened to Megatron — and Orion make speeches on the Grid, protesting Megatron was not involved in what happened. When Orion returned to Iacon, Alpha Trion asked him why he trusted Megatron. Orion felt Megatron would have claimed responsibility for the attacks if he were behind them. Awed by Orion's intuition and empathy for the lower class Cybertronians in Kaon, Alpha Trion wondered if Orion was the Prime foretold in the Covenant: the Prime that would save Cybertron from a civil war. When Sentinel was kidnapped, Orion requested Alpha Trion arrange a hearing with the High Council. Alpha Trion obliged and passed on his beliefs about Orion to the Councilors, and it was at the hearing Halogen renamed Orion Optimus Prime: the act that angered Megatron and tore the planet into Autobots and Decepticons.

Alpha Trion recorded the events of war in the Covenant. On the Communication Grid he witnessed the beautiful and terrible destruction of Crystal City. He continued maintaining the Hall of Records with a skeleton crew, but he felt the stirrings of battle in his Spark, proclaiming he would fight once more if the Decepticons broke the siege of Iacon. Optimus visited after the victory of Kalis, asking if they could win the war itself. Alpha Trion replied only a being who could tell the future could answer that, and it was then he revealed to Optimus it was he who suggested that the High Council appoint him Prime.

When Megatron discovered the existence of Dark Energon on Trypticon Station, Alpha Trion sensed what happened and told the Autobots of the essence of Unicron, revealing he had deleted much of the information regarding Trypticon's purpose from the DataNet as he felt knowledge of it was too dangerous. When Megatron attempted to steal the Plasma Energy Chamber, Alpha Trion informed Optimus that Teletraan-1 had reactivated Omega Supreme. Afterwards, Alpha Trion gave Optimus advice when he went to Kaon to rescue Sentinel Prime, and when his body was returned Alpha Trion eulogized him with the traditional liturgy of the Passing of the Primes. It was then Alpha Trion made Optimus's Prime rank official, rather than de facto.

After Optimus returned from purging Cybertron's core of Dark Energon, he began the construction of the Ark. He asked Alpha Trion if it would work, but the Archivist responded that if it didn't, the Autobots would die with Cybertron. At this point, despite Optimus's pleas, he was refusing his share of Energon, and refused a place on the Ark, explaining the planet would not permit him to die. He told the Autobots about the last functioning space bridge, during which he made a big giveaway about his identity, seemingly joking he was older than that space bridge and he still functioned. Alpha Trion oversaw the Ark's construction within the Well of All Sparks, while Optimus distracted Megatron aboard the Eight Track with a false exodus. With the city-sized ship completed, Alpha Trion reiterated he would not be coming, stating Vector Sigma would keep him alive. As Optimus boarded the ship, he realized his friend and mentor was one of the Original Thirteen. Exodus

Alpha Trion's involvement in the preceding events, or events mostly similar, were also chronicled in the comic "Transformers: War for Cybertron."

Alpha Trion remained in the Hall of Records after the departure of the Ark, curiously left alone to attend his duties as Archivist by Shockwave and his Decepticon forces. Alpha Trion received regular reports from Ultra Magnus and his Wreckers, the primary Autobot resistance force left on Cybertron. Alpha Trion remained concerned about his protégé, Optimus Prime, and his quest for the AllSpark and the final fates of the other Thirteen. He marveled at Wheeljack's suggestion of re-mastering the Space Bridge technology to send an Autobot after the Ark and learn how the mission was proceeding.

As Wheeljack's plot was set into motion, Alpha Trion was forced to deal with an ever-more brazen Shockwave, who began making appearances in the Hall of Records without the knowledge of the security detail appointed to protect it. Shockwave tried to cow Alpha Trion by calling him a traitor, but the wily ol' buzzard calmly retorted that he was far older than the Decepticon regime, and a traitor to nothing...he was a flat-out enemy of Shockwave's, simple as that. Taken aback by this show of defiance, Shockwave retreated from the Hall for the time being.

Shortly after he successfully launched a volunteer named Chaindrive through space-time towards the signals of the Matrix, Alpha Trion was officially "captured" by Shockwave and detained under house arrest in his quarters at the Hall of Records. Alpha Trion cared little for the change in circumstances, for he had convinced Shockwave to leave him his Quill and Covenant to continue archiving history as it came to him. The Covenant revealed to him signs that Nexus Prime and Vector Prime had both reappeared in the flow of history, if only briefly, and Alpha Trion was content with that for now. Exiles

As Shockwave's control over Iacon increased, Alpha Trion spent more and more time analyzing the Covenant. He foresaw a time when Shockwave would take him in for experimentation purposes, and prepared accordingly by safely locking away the crucial information Shockwave was looking for. Sure enough, Shockwave and a swarm of Insecticons arrived at his door, and Trion willingly gave himself up for arrest.

Shockwave took him to his latest tower, which he had constructed in the center of Iacon, and gloated to his prisoner that he had managed to interpret a section of the Covenant himself, and planned on using the power of the last Prime on Cybertron to access the true power of the Vector Sigma supercomputer and create a Decepticon Matrix. Shockwave tried and failed to integrate Trion into the computer, before realizing that Trion had locked the nessecary codes deep in his cortex. Shockwave resorted to his contingency plan- pumping the computer full of Dark Energon. Trion knew that Shockwave's reckless experimentation would alert the Quintessons to Vector Sigma's existence, but his warnings did nothing to dissuade Shockwave.

Alpha Trion was eventually rescued by Ultra Magnus and the other Wreckers, who extricated his unconscious body from Shockwave's lab and headed to the surface. Trion managed to stay lucid long enough to alert them to the impending Quintesson invasion before collapsing again. When the Sharkticon fleet arrived on Cybertron, a furious Shockwave- who thought that he could use the artifacts of the Primes to repel the aliens- confronted Alpha Trion, who calmly revealed that he had taken the precaution of jettisoning them from Cybertron so that Shockwave couldn't get his hands on them.

Trion then convinced the Wreckers to head to the Hall of Records; the archivist planned to rig the building to explode so that the Quintessons couldn't use Cybertron's accumulated knowledge against them. His plan was foiled by Tyrannicon, who jammed Trion's detonator. Before Tyrannicon could kill them, however, his own foot soldiers turned on their general, and Alpha Trion and the Wreckers managed to escape.

When the threat of the Quintesson invasion had passed, Alpha Trion resumed studying the Covenant, and idly wondered when Optimus and his crew would arrive on the planet where he had launched the many artifacts. Retribution

According to legend, at the beginning of time, Unicron and Primus battled each other for eons, with neither side remaining victorious for long. Till, that is, Primus created the Thirteen. These Thirteen defeated Unicron and cast him into space. One Shall Rise, Part 1 At some point statues of Alpha Trion and his brothers were created and stored in the high council room.

Alpha Trion was Orion Pax's mentor and was the one who requested that he become a Prime.

Alpha Trion also trusted Smokescreen enough to tell him about his involvement in making Orion a Prime. New Recruit

When the Iacon Hall of Records was attacked by Decepticons, the ancient Autobot sent the contents of the Iacon Hall of Records to a remote, seemingly unimportant planet named Earth, as the Covenant of Primus had foretold that an important chapter of the war against the Decepticons would be decided there, and Alpha Trion wished Optimus Prime to have these important artifacts at his disposal. Within the Star Saber relic, Alpha Trion sealed a message telling Optimus of the significance of the weapons he was sending. Alpha/Omega He also revealed the secret location of the Omega Lock. Regeneration However, when Alpha Trion was sending the final Omega Key relics, it was too late to send the final one into space. In an effort, perhaps desperate, to find an alternate solution, he dazed his pupil Smokescreen long enough to manifest the final Omega Key within him and thus used him as a means of keeping it safe. Inside Job Alpha Trion was also in possession of a database with the locations of the relics which he highly encrypted, rendering it useless to Decepticon hackers, even to the likes of Soundwave.

There is a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.

Alpha Trion was one of the Primes, the first Transformers created by Primus, participating in the war against the Quintessons. After thousands of cycles of fighting, the principle aid of the Primes, Sentinel, intercepted a transmission about a meeting of Quintesson commanders. The Primes chose to take on the mission themselves and met Sentinel in a cave only to be ambushed by Quintesson Soldiers. The Primes nearly triumphed over their attackers until Sentinel revealed himself as a traitor and turned on the Primes. As the tide of the battle turned, Alpha Trion sent out an urgent SOS message, calling on the High Guard to come to his location before the Primes fell. While the other twelve perished, Alpha Trion fell into stasis lock. Fifty cycles later, the beacon containing Alpha Trion's message ended up lost in waste disposal, but a local disposal worker B-127 salvaged it and used it as a component to make an imaginary friend named "Steve." There the message remained for the next 50 cycles, until Orion Pax and D-16 were thrown into the disposal area B-127 worked in. Orion inadvertently discovered the beacon and activated the message, leading the three to believe it led to the location of the lost Matrix of Leadership and embark on a quest to discover it.

When the three bots (now joined by Elita-1) discovered the cave where the slain Primes lay, Orion found Alpha Trion buried under an immense amount of rock and still lived, reviving him with an energon cube. Alpha Trion reacted violently at first, momentarily believing he was still in the midst of battle, but Orion was able to calm him down and bring him up to speed on the current state of affairs. However, when Orion mentioned Sentinel Prime, Alpha Trion was quick to point out that Sentinel was not a true Prime. Educating the quartet about Sentinel's treachery, he took them to an overgrown cliff where they watched Sentinel kneel before a Quintesson High Commander. Though the four younger bots were dismayed and dejected to learn the truth about Sentinel, Alpha Trion rallied them to action with some wise words, reminding them that they must inform the public of the truth and bequeathing them with the transformation cogs of four of the Primes.

Unfortunately, that was when Sentinel's enforcers discovered them and descended on the cave. Alpha Trion told the quartet to flee as he prepared to hold the line, informing Orion that this battle would have to be his so that Orion's time may come later. Though the Death Trackers mocked him and called him old, the ancient Prime was quick to remind them he still had some fight left in him by transforming into his beast mode and swiftly tearing them apart. However, a surprise attack from above by Airachnid caught him unaware, and a captured Alpha Trion was brought before Sentinel. Defiant even in captivity, Alpha Trion engaged in a battle of words against Sentinel, but Sentinel did not take kindly to the old sage exposing the truth with his speeches and killed Alpha Trion with his blade.

In death, Alpha Trion reunited with his brethren in the AllSpark. A vision of Alpha Trion among his fellow Primes later appeared to a heavily damaged Orion Pax as he fell into Cybertron's core, announcing that he had been chosen by Primus to carry the Matrix and lead Cybertron. As the power of the Matrix reformatted his body, Alpha Trion bestowed upon him the name Optimus Prime. One

Notes

Once you go white, you'll never, er... be right?
  • Alpha Trion is one of the very few Cybertronians to show signs of aging and hair growth.
  • "Rock Me Alpha Trion" is a reference to the song "[[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Rock Me Amadeus|{{#if:||Rock Me Amadeus}}]]" by [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Falco (musician)|{{#if:Falco|Falco|Falco (musician)}}]].

Aligned continuity family

  • Alpha Trion's overall fate is uncertain; the DVD commentary for "Rebellion" seems to assert that Trion had died at some point before the episode, although this was never mentioned in the show's dialogue itself, leaving it a case of authorial intent. The Covenant of Primus has Alpha Trion describing later episodes all the way up to Predacons Rising, meaning that he had somehow remained alive or somehow managed to update the Covenant from beyond the grave.
