Fiction
Marvel Comics continuity
After Primus had imprisoned his and Unicron's astral forms in asteroids, he reshaped his new body into the planet Cybertron. From the material of this world was born the first Transformer, Prima. 12 others quickly followed, but Prima specifically was granted a font of Primus' lifeforce and power, the Creation Matrix.<sup class="noprint">[<span title="The material in the vicinity of this tag needs references to reliable sources." style="white-space: nowrap;">citation needed</span>]</sup>
An early battle with Unicron ended the life of many of the first Transformers, before Primus hid himself away in slumber from Unicron. It is not known what Prima's ultimate fate was, but Prime Nova is recorded as the next Matrix bearer.<sup class="noprint">[<span title="The material in the vicinity of this tag needs references to reliable sources." style="white-space: nowrap;">citation needed</span>]</sup>
It is uncertain what relationship Prima has, if any, to Primon, another early Matrix bearer.
