Everything past, present, and future has been building up to the fruition of Primus's plan.

Synopsis

This story is told in non-linear form. This synopsis presents it in chronological order for ease of reading.

A long, long time ago in another universe...

The Primus Vanguard was founded by the golden warrior Primus and was made up of the Warriors of the Seven Lights that came from G One. However, their universe came to be attacked by the Vok, after they failed in the next universe's Beast Wars. To stop them, Primus summoned Optimus Prime and Galvatron from the next universe, as the former had the power to stop the Vok while the latter had the capability to merge with them. Optimus Prime was granted the Silver Matrix and evolved into Star Convoy, enabling him to defeat the Vok. Primus then entrusted him with the task of gathering the seven Star Powers and completing the Silver Matrix. The seven Star Powers were contained in seven Matrices that the seven leaders of the Primus Vanguard held. One who gathered all seven would hold power over creation.

As this "Precursor World" preceded Optimus Prime and Galvatron's "Known World", the being who controlled the Silver Matrix and its creative energies would become god of the Known World. The situation in the Precursor World became complicated when an unknown party brought in the Seacons as part of a plan to bring about a desired future. Also plotting was Primacron, later creator of Unicron in the Known World. With his Angolmois Energy, he sought to become god of the newer universe, and Primus brought forth the Dinobots to stop Primacron as they did in the future. Within all of this chaos, the climax is approaching...

Many years prior to the confluence of past and future, Blue Brightes Convoy dies in battle against the Specters. On his deathbed, he leaves leadership of the Blue Order to Big, and the loyal soldier takes on the mantle of Blue Big Convoy as the twin Straxuses watch. Yellow Splendid Convoy reports the death of Brightes to Primus. In this time, the Precursor World is actually seven universes that the Primus Vanguard protects, although they are menaced by the inversion of their light, the Specters. Indeed, no matter how bright their Matrices shine to rid themselves of Specters, their light merely casts new shadows. After an incident where Blue Big Convoy manages to annihilate a group of Specters using maximum output from his α Matrix Cannon, White Gallant Convoy realizes that conserving their light is merely a stopgap measure; what they must do is create a light so powerful that it cast no shadow. Blue agrees with the idea, proposing that they release the full power of all seven Matrices at once. The plan is agreed on and the release of all seven Star Powers merges the seven universes into one without the Specters.

Months prior to Optimus Prime's arrival, Green Tender Convoy announces that the Vok are attacking the Green Planet, so Primus sends the Sentinel Armada to deal with the threat. The Vanguard leaders gather to discover the nature of this Vok threat, and White explains that his Matrix has traced their origins to the future, and so Primus uses the Black Matrix to peer into the future, despite Black Go Prime's warning that the future may be not what he wants to know... Proud, Primus disregards his warning, for he is the god of this world appointed by the One.

Primus returns, shaken with his foreknowledge, and coops up in his room with his pet, Primacron. Primus blathers about the Vok, that they seek to destroy the Precursor World so that they can recreate the universe to their liking. Even more alarming, they're actually the evolved form of the Specters! Primacron speaks up, telling his master not to worry, as he's gained intelligence from being at Primus's side for so long and states that one simply has to beat the Vok to the punch and destroy the universe themselves. He reveals that it's possible with the power of the Matrix, and that he's extracted its essence to create Angolmois Energy. Frightened, Primus remembers Primacron's presence in the next universe and angrily asks if it was his doing. Primacron, delighted that his plan apparently succeeds, sics his Assistant Corps on his former master and slinks away.

Even more burdened with apparent enemies on all sides, Primus rants to the Primus Vanguard Convoys and Primes that he needs to destroy and recreate the universe before Primacron can. His incoherent raving and demands that the Primus Vanguard follow his insane plan cause the Vanguard command structure to dissolve, leaving Primus alone. The Specters make their appearance to a lonely Primus, fulfilling their promise that they would return when the Vanguard was scattered. They take the form of the Vok and disappear. Primus, forlorn, kneels before the statue of the One in the Ivory Towers before he has a realization... The next world

On the Blue Planet, the ground rumbles as Primacron makes his escape, but Primus sics the Dinobots on him. They're too late as Primacron activates the transformation of the Blue Planet into the gigantic Neo Primus powered by Angolmois Energy. With it, Primacron seeks to destroy the universe!

Notes

Continuity notes

  • Blue references the events of the Blue Big Convoy comic when he reports having destroyed the Specters with his α Matrix Cannon. This places the events of that comic during the time when Primus's universe was originally seven different universes, before they were merged into one.
  • When the Vok attack the Green Planet, Primus orders the deployment of the "Sentinel armada". This is likely referring to the same fleet of ships seen at the end of the Blue Big Convoy comic, which were all based on the design of Titans Return Sentinel Prime. One of these ships, a member of the Blue Order, even bears the color scheme of Energon Omega Sentinel, and Red himself is another such ship fully named "Red Sentinel Prime".

Transformers references

  • When the Primus Vanguard merges the seven original universes into one universe, Primus speaks the phrase "Uchū o hitotsu ni!" (宇宙を一つに!, "Space, become one!" in this context). This is the Japanese equivalent of the prophetic "'Til all are one" mantra first spoken in The Transformers: The Movie.

Errors

Other notes

  • "G One" (ジ·ワン Ji Wan) is a pun that really only makes sense in Japanese. The English word "the" has two different transliterations for its different pronunciations, za (ザ) for when it precedes consonants and ji (ジ) for when it precedes vowels (the Japanese language lacks the "th" sound and instead approximates it). "The One" is written normally as Za Wan (ザ·ワン), so "G One" is a swap of the "the" transliterations to make a meta reference to "G1" (ジーワン Jīwan).
