Amalgamous Prime

Amalgamous Prime is one of the Thirteen, the original Primes, who were created by Primus to battle and defeat his nemesis, Unicron. As his name hints, Amalgamous Prime is a shifter, and can assume any form he pleases. He is known among the Thirteen as a trickster. Supposedly, he went on to found the Shifters, who took after his fluid and malleable nature.

Among the Thirteen, Amalgamous Prime's talent for change was rivaled only by Nexus Prime. While Nexus excelled in combination, separation and alt-forms, though, Amalgamous Prime could alter his shape itself, assuming any appearance he desired. Impatient and perhaps selfish, Amalgamous expressed his distaste to Solus Prime when she dedicated so much of her time to the creation of Megatronus Prime's Requiem Blaster. Amalgamous Prime's fate after the betrayal of Megatronus and the plotting of Liege Maximo remained unknown. Only Alpha Trion and Alchemist Prime remained on Cybertron as the planet's civilization developed, but legend has it that Amalgamous may have returned at a later date, and the rarely seen modern Transformers known as "Shifters" are somehow descendent from him.

The Covenant of Primus

Amalgamous was the joker of the pack, though never cruelly so. His gentle fun-poking was great light relief even as it pushed at the comfort zones of the others - the more serious sometimes taking it badly. His artifact was a Scythe, although you would hardly know it as, like the rest of his body, it was in constant flux, transforming from one shape to another, one state to another, liquid to solid and back again. Bright and cheeky, Amalgamous was never still and, given half a chance, would be into anything to figure out how it worked, what it would do.

He lacked seriousness and focus of a true fighter, although his unpredictability was an asset sometimes. He was not the most forward-thinking or bright of the sparks among the Primes, but he was gentle at heart. The archetypal shifter, he never lingered where he wasn't welcome but simply moved on, not taking anything personally, not holding grudges or remembering deeds. His memory slipped as easily as his shape, although it had an odd way of suddenly sharpening when something important happened.

His artifact was the Transformation Cog, from which all later T-Cogs would be modeled. The Covenant of Primus
