The Transformers cartoon

Voice actor: Milt Jamin (English), Ken Shiroyama (Japanese)

Prime Nova, or Nova Prime, succeeded Prima as bearer of the Matrix of Leadership through unknown circumstances, and went on to fight against the Quintessons in the robot uprising that ultimately forced the evil aliens off of Cybertron. It is unknown if he died during the rebellion or not, but by the time of the first Great War, he had been replaced as Autobot leader by Guardian Prime.

When Rodimus Prime journeyed into the Matrix in 2005, Prime Nova was the third guide that he encountered. Prime Nova related to him the tale of the Quintessons' robots rise to true sentience and life, and their fight back against their alien masters. Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4

Marvel The Transformers comics

This unnamed Matrix bearer could be considered Prime Nova by process of elimination.

Prime Nova was the second Matrix bearer mentioned by the Creation Matrix. He presumably received it from Prima, and at the end of his watch he presumably passed it to Sentinel Prime. Dark Creation

3H comics

The Matrix was passed from Prima unto Prime Nova, who subsequently bequeathed it to Sentinel Prime. Covenant

Notes

• The cartoon robot was never named in the cartoon proper. Instead, it was granted the designation, "Brooding Robot", in the dialogue script for "Five Faces of Darkness, Part 4". He was finally granted a name by an Ask Vector Prime Easter egg in Transformers Animated: The AllSpark Almanac II.
• According to ABN, Vector Prime "always lies about Five Faces of Darkness". Recordicons #9 If true, this would mean that the guy from Five Faces isn't necessarily Prime Nova; we're keeping this page as-is because there's no objective evidence either way, and Prime Nova is more convenient as a page title than "Brooding Robot".
