| This article is about the artifact. For Transformation cogs in general, see Transformation cog. |
Amalgamous Prime’s Transformation Cog is similar in many ways to the Transformation cogs of every other Transformer; it allows the owner to transform. The key difference is that this one is the first and the most powerful. Amalgamous Prime owes his infinite transformational abilities to his artifact, and it is after this original Cog that all others were patterned. Exposure to this relic can grant a Cybertronian the same abilities, but at a cost.

The Covenant of Primus
The very first Transformation Cog belonged to Amalgamous Prime. The artifact allowed its holder to take any shape or form its wielder desired. It would eventually become the template for the simplified T-cogs incorporated into the physiologies of all Cybertronians.
After Cybertron's Golden Age, Mercury and her displaced fleet of Neutronian refugees discovered Amalgamous's original Transformation Cog orbiting a black hole. The refugees brought the artifact aboard the ship, but the mysterious energies the Transformation Cog emitted had the unexpected side effect of altering the crew, granting them advanced shapeshifting abilities and the power to combine with one another into an infinite amount of forms. Even so, Mercury and her new Mutacons set out to find Amalgamous Prime, hoping that he could undo the change before the Mutacons permanently merged into a single being. The Covenant of Primus
