Assistant Corps
Constructed in secret by Primus's "pet" Primacron to aid in his emancipation in the ancient universe of the Seven Lights, the Assistant Corps (助手軍団 Joshu Gundan) may very well be the legendary scientist's first foray into the creation of artificial life.

Horrified by the dark future for himself he scried with the power of the Black Legendisc while searching for a way to curtail the Vok menace, Primus made the mistake of relating his vision to his sapient "pet" (read:slave) Primacron. Emboldened by the tale of his future glories, Primacron summoned the Assistant Corps in a bid for freedom. The apes succeeded in their righteous mission.
Later, Primacron summoned the Assistant Corp to distract Grimlock and Primus' other Primitives long enough for him to activate Neo Primus. They prevailed there too. Two for two, these little guys. Finale 1
Notes
- The Assistant Corps are a reference to Primacron's Assistant, the humiliating fate awaiting Primus in the universe to come.
- As usual in the Precursor World, this group is made up of themed repurposings, namely the various decoes of Apeface's Titans Return partner.
- The whistle Primacron uses to control his Assistant Corps originated in the chronologically-later story "Controverse," where it granted him control of the Sharkticons and other Primitive Transformers.
- The Generations Selects finale would reveal a duplicate of the orange model amongst the the Straxus twins' creations in the wake of the Primus Vanguard's final battle with Primacron. This is the character Ape X Arms from the original e-HOBBY Primus Vanguard stories, now heavily implied to be developed from Primacron's Assistant Corps design by the Straxuses.
