- Primon is an Autobot from the Generation 1 continuity family.
Primon is one of the oldest known bearers of the Matrix. As he predated Prima, who is characterized as the first Transformer created on Cybertron, it is conceivable that he predates the planet itself (much like the Covenant). He is also known as Alpha Prime.
Fiction
Tales from the Beast Wars
Primon was seen twice in a swirl of visions experienced by the Covenant at the coming of the Chronarchitect—once as part of a long lineage of Primes, and again having the Matrix torn from his chest by the Liege Maximo. Reaching the Omega Point
Generation 1 cartoon
- Voice actor: Michael Bell (English)
Primon is the earliest documented bearer of the Matrix of Leadership, but how he came to hold the talisman, and his activities during the Quintesson occupation of Cybertron, are unknown. His sole appearance came when Rodimus Prime voyaged into the Matrix in 2005, where he was the first guide the Autobot leader encountered. Primon related to him the story of the Transformers' creation by the Quintessons, and how they were endowed with sentience. He was succeeded as Matrix-bearer by Prima. Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4
Dreamwave comics continuity
Alpha Prime is the first known Matrix-bearer and was succeeded by Guardian Prime.
Notes
- Primon is conspicuously absent from other lists of past Primes, even those by Simon Furman who wrote this text story. When questioned (see below), he offered up "The Matrix forgot?" as an excuse. (Also "Ummm...")
- The cartoon robot ghost was never named in the cartoon. It was referred to as "Ancient Robot" in the dialogue script of "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4". Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac Volume 2 came along and made the character into an incarnation of Primon.
- The symbol stamped on Primon's forehead is a "prototype" version of the Autobot insignia. Although this is the only place it appears in-fiction, the symbol was later released as a sticker with Overcharge.
- Aaron Archer's original back-of-a-dinner-napkin outline for the Transformers Cybertron series included a character named "Alpha Prime", who in later drafts became Vector Prime.
