|
| The '''Omniverse''' (from Latin: ''omne'' all, everything; ''vertere'' to turn) is the totality of known or supposed universes, including all universes in the [[Transformers multiverse]] and all other universes or multiverses that can, have or will exist.
| | As the meaning of the word "omniversal" has not been defined for the Transformers universe, what these descriptors mean in terms of Primus and The Fallen falls into [[personal canon]] or [[fanon]]. |
|
| |
|
| Simply put, the Omniverse contains everything that has ''ever'' been thought of; there are worlds where [[Wikipedia:Batman|Batman]] is real, worlds where the [[Wikipedia:Loch Ness Monster|Loch Ness Monster]] is Mayor of [[New York City]] and worlds where convex right angles have achieved sentience and write outlandish allegorical science-fiction stories about higher-dimensional bipeds living in Victorian England.

| Primus dreams of one day joining the the [[Omniversal Matrix]], beyond the borders of the [[Transformers multiverse]].

| ==Functional Infinity==
| |
| The Omniverse is vast, beyond counting. Though some believe that the Omniverse contains an ''infinite'' number of universes-- the most widely accepted definition of the Omniverse's scale was given by [[Wikipedia:Robert A. Heinlein|Robert A. Heinlein]] in [[1979]]. The Omniverse contains 6<sup>6<sup>6</sup></sup> universes... that's 10,314,424,798,490,535,546,171,949,056, or 10^28 universes.
| |
| Written out, the Omniverse contains ''ten octillion three hundred fourteen septillion sour hundred twenty four sextillion seven hundred ninety eight quintillion four hundred ninety quadrillion five hundred thirty five trillion five hundred forty six billion one hundred seventy one million nine hundred forty nine thousand fifty-six'' universes.
| |
| | |
| Though finite, this is a ''truly vast'' number. The Transformers Multiverse is an above-average sized chunk of this... about one trillionth of the Omniverse.

| [[Image:String of popcorn.jpg|thumb|A "multiverse" is like a string of popcorn, where universes are connected by a common thread.]]
| |
| A '''Multiverse''' is a subset of within the universe which are connected by a common anchor, axis or hub that runs through multiple universes, joining these worlds together like pieces of popcorn on a string.
| |
| | |
| Also like popcorn, it is possible for a universe to contain multiple anchors, making it a member of more than one multiversal set.<ref>[[Wikipedia:Wildstorm_Universe#Earth-50|Earth 50]] is simultaneously part of the DC Multiverse's set of 52 universes, and the Wildstorm Snowflake's set of 196,833 universes.</ref><ref>Is is suspected (but not confirmed) that [[Earth-120185]] may be a member of ''both'' the Marvel and Transformers Multiverses.</ref>

The multiverse in which Transformers inhabit sometimes interacts with the home multiverses of otherwise unaffiliated beings, such as the Avengers or the participants in the Star Wars. The collection of these multiverses could be deemed an omniverse, but there is no Transformers-based source for this.
However:
- Primus wishes to join the Omniversal Matrix when he has completed his cosmic mission.
- The Fallen has been classified as an "omniversal tyrant."
As the meaning of the word "omniversal" has not been defined for the Transformers universe, what these descriptors mean in terms of Primus and The Fallen falls into personal canon or fanon.
