Covenant (group)
| This article is about the twelve pre-Cybertronic Transformers that guarded time and space. For the scriptural Covenant of Primus, see Covenant of Primus. |
- The Covenant is a group from the Beast Era Continuity family.
The Covenant is a group of ancient robots created by Primus to guard against the Omega Point. Before he became Cybertron, Primus had already conceived his grand plan of trapping Unicron and creating new life to carry on his fight, but he needed to make sure it would work. So, on a small moon called Protos, Primus tested his ability to create robotic life. These life forms were the Covenant, charged by their creator to watch over their younger cousins, the Transformers, and to stand ready to join the fight against Unicron at a foretold time known as the Omega Point.
Fiction
3H Tales from the Beast Wars comics
Timelines: Wings of Honor
Dion recalled stories of the Covenant from his youth as a protoform while gazing at the constellations over Cybertron. In one story, Leonicus battled the fiendish ice-demon. The pneuma-lion's claws were useless against the creature, as each ice shard he cleaved free just formed into another ice-demon. Only Scorpius and his flame-breath were able to end the threat of the ice-demon. Flames of Yesterday
Covenant Members
Many members of the Covenant were not named in the original "Reaching the Omega Point" story, though a list of all their members was included with the follow-up comic.
As a result, though all of the Covenant members appear in the BotCon 2000 comic, it's not always clear who is who. There are some members whose identification is blindingly obvious, others who are less certain but still generally agreed upon, and finally, four Covenant members for whom matching a name with a form would essentially be a guess.

Notes
