Q: Dear Vector Prime,
As the hub of Transformers multiverse, Axiom Nexus sees an innumerable amount of inter-dimensional travel. My question is, while the TransTech denizens of the Axiom Nexus universe were seemingly some of the first in the multilverse to realize there was a multiverse, how much control do they have over the extent of inter-dimensional travel? Did the TransTechs simply set up immigration protocols because bots were randomly appearing from other dimensions, or do the TransTechs, or some of their number, actually control the paths of inter-dimensional travelers, whether they end up in Axiom Nexus or not?

A: Dear Transdimensional Transit Tracker,
Your question is one that has two answers, more or less. And that's just in the instance of accidental interdimensional travel. I'll touch on intentional travel later in my answer.
You call Axiom Nexus a "hub", which is one way of looking at it, with the Nexus Cluster being in the center with other universal clusters emerging around it like spokes on a wheel. However, one can also approach the metaphor as a stack of Miyake joint weapons precariously piled on an overzealous warrior's alternate mode. They constantly sway back and forth as the "gravity" from the various clusters and streams push and tug on one another. At the bottom of this lackadaisically laced lattice, beneath everything else, is Axiom Nexus. So as the clusters part and pull, and bob and weave, there is actually a non-trivial possibility that a clear path will present itself to an unintentional traveler and they will simply fall all the way to the bottom of the stack, ending up in Axiom Nexus. This is, in fact, how the first Offworlders arrived.
The second answer is that, yes, the TransTech also have built a way to net and draw in interdimensional travelers and bring them through the dimensional gates here at the heart of Axiom Nexus. It is often a sensible policy, I must say. Having unintentional visits between streams and clusters is asking for trouble. In one instance, a high-ranking member of the Convoy Council traveled from Primax 498.1 Alpha, passed through Gargent 984.08 Alpha and ultimately landed in one of the streams in the Uniend Cluster. He created nearly unending confusion as he joined right in with the Autobots and helped them defeat their version Unicron with a bit more ease than they were intended to... Wait... Scrap my old circuits! That's not from this time, it hasn't happened... Oh scrap... That council member is actually still here in Nexus 208.0 Epsilon...
*Ahem* Well, moving along, I suppose that brings me to my point about intentional travelers. While those transported from their universe via accident tumble and flutter in the void, those that know what they are doing and where they are going shoot between universes like they're packed with hyperactive rocket boosters. Even if the TransTech wanted to use their net to grab one of these individuals, the probability of getting a lock on the target is three thousand, seven hundred and twenty to one! In other words... they mostly don't even try. And that's why you never hear of them bringing any of the Thirteen, or various Sideways, through the gates.

Hello Axiom Nexus! I hope this bright and beautiful... If a little cool.. stellar cycle is greeting your sensory receptors happily this morning!
Today I have a follow-up report that I hope you find interesting! I know I do! After Rook's mention of The Convoy in his report over a deca-cycle ago, we went to the Offworlder Zone Security Zone Administrator, none other than Cheetor himself. Let me tell all his admirers out there that the Central Link images of him don't don't do him enough justice...
Anyway, Cheetor was so very kind enough to provide the following list of members of The Convoy, as well as an image of their security-admission badge. He wanted to reiterate that if any of us TransTech see an Offworlder with one of these badges, and its RFID redirects to the OZSA or Intelligence Directorate, that there's no reason to be alarmed.
Current Members of The Convoy:
1) Black Convoy - Aurex 000.0X405.0 Epsilon - AKA: "Nemesis Prime"
2) **Classified**
3) Lio Convoy - Primax 498.1 Alpha - AKA: "Leo Prime"
4) **Classified**
5) Optimus Prime - Viron 903.0 Beta - AKA: "Ignition Prime"
6) Optimus Prime - Primax 094.0 Beta - AKA: "Hero Prime"
7) Optimus Prime - Aurex 1006.0 Beta - AKA: "Beast Prime"
8) **Classified**
9) Primal Prime - Primax 509.28 Epsilon
10) Sentinel Maximus - Primax 797.18 Epsilon
11) **Classified**
12) **Classified**
Wow! That's more than I thought. Oh and let me say that if we ever need to speak with Security Administrator Cheetor again, I'll be the first to volunteer!
- Rook - Axiom Nexus News: Investigative Journalist Not a chance, Romy...
- Q: And I thought that "Hero Prime" was from Primax 895.0 Gamma?
- Axiom Nexus News Editor Louis Sun I thank you for pointing that out. We here at Axiom Nexus News are not so conceited as to not admit when we have our facts incorrect. After checking again with Cheetor, I wish to let you know that you are right about Hero Prime originating from Primax 895.0 Gamma. It's an obscure universe and our reporter was a little star struck, so to speak. She recorded and reported the wrong stream ID.
- Our thanks, once again.

Leo Prime traveled from Primax 498.1 Alpha and passed through Gargent 984.08 Alpha, Ask Vector Prime, 2015/05/14 where, as the "Beast Sage", he helped forestall that universe's Cataclysm. However, while his technology gave that universe's natives more time, it was only temporary. Sunrise
Leo Prime eventually ended up in Nexus 208.0 Epsilon. Ask Vector Prime, 2015/05/14 In Axiom Nexus, he was gathered by the local Optimus Prime, along with a roster of other Optimus Primes and their kin in a group known as the Convoy. A multiversal cataclysm in a universe seeded with Rarified Energon and an invasion by natives from a negative polarity universe had called them into action. Since Matrix bearers and their doppelgangers were usually never allowed into Axiom Nexus, this was a grave threat indeed! Invasion Prologue

After a time, Leo Prime sensed the awakening of Unicron in another dimension, and travelled across the multiverse to this world. Finding that the native Autobots and Decepticons had already dealt with the threat of Unicron, Leo Prime elected to stay on this world for a time to ensure that Unicron did not reawaken, refraining from involving himself in the combat between the native Transformers. In the body he wore in this universe, he was armed with an ancient sword that drew power straight from his Energon Matrix, though apparently unbeknownst to him, it, like the weapons of many other Transformers in this universe, was secretly an Arms Micron named L.P.. Arms Micron Leo Prime bio Using this weapon, Leo Prime carved up the remains of one of Unicron's rock-and-earth avatars to create the Gaia Armor, using the power of his Energon Matrix to sever the avatar's link to Unicron himself, but allowing it to retain the power of Dark Energon.

Legends comic
Leo Prime's interuniversal journey brought him to the Legends World, one he was particularly fond of as its inhabitants had been encouraging the Maximals from afar during their battles on Gaia. He repaid them by defending their world from the Zamojin, but ended up defeated by Katsu Don, who reverted him to his original body by absorbing his "Beast Power" and sent him crashing into the home of his local counterpart, Lio Convoy. After he'd explained his circumstances, Katsu Don attacked again and Leo Prime saw the similarities between himself and Lio Convoy when the latter put himself in harm's way to protect the Legends version of Lio Junior. He induced a beast transformation in Lio Convoy, turning him into a giant robotic lion, then adopted a Headmaster body that let him combine with Convoy and draw upon his Beast Power to defeat Katsu Don. He then remained in the Legends World in anticipation of further Zamojin attacks, living with Lio Convoy and his son. LG41 Leo Prime
Some time later, Leo Prime could feel that the return of the Zamojin was imminent. Late Xmas Present Chapter Indeed, Katsu Don reappeared and attacked the Legends World with Windblade, so Leo Prime confronted him alongside Perceptor.

When Majin Zarak attacked the Legends World, Leo Prime recognized his old foe and attempted to battle it alongside Lio Convoy and Optimus Primal. Upon being defeated, he realized that since he was fated to destroy Zarak in the future, the beast was effectively invincible in this era or else a time paradox would occur. Legends World in Imminent Danger! Part One Fortunately Alpha Trion hit upon the idea to defeat Majin Zarak without killing it by banishing it to another dimension. Legends World in Imminent Danger! Part Two Following the destruction of the Legends World, Leo Prime evacuated alongside many of its natives to his home dimension, ending up on the planet Beast in 2038. The planet was then attacked by none other than Nemesis, confusing Leo Prime until he realized the ship wasn't built by his era's Galvatron to begin with, but had been the brainchild of another Galvatron from this era. By using his power to induce beast transformation, he temporarily turned all the Legends natives into proper Transformers, allowing them to attack and take down Nemesis.

When the Legends World was restored, Lio Convoy and Lio Junior returned to their home, where they saw Leo Prime off as he left their universe. Epiloge
End of G1 Universe (3)
As the G1 World neared its end, Leo Prime perished and his body was brought to Earth, where Bluebolt hoped to resurrect him using the remnant energy from Unicron within the planet's crust. Bluebolt was interrupted in the process by Untite, who sought to consume the corpse. However, his appetite was foiled as Unicron's energy merged with Leo Prime's body to create an amalgam being—Dark Amber Leo Prime. Dark Amber Leo Prime (First)
