Covenant (group)

This article is about the twelve pre-Cybertronic Transformers that guarded time and space. For the scriptural Covenant of Primus, see Covenant of Primus.

The Covenant is a group of ancient robots created by Primus to guard against the Omega Point.

Before he became Cybertron Primus had already concieved his grand plan of trapping Unicron and creating new life to carry on his fight. But he needed to make sure it would work. So, on a small moon, Primus tested his abillity to create robotic life. These life forms were the Covenant, charged by their creator to watch over their younger cousins the Transformers and to stand ready to join the fight against Unicron at a fortold time known as the Omega Point.

Covenant Members

Many members of the Covenant were not named in the original Reaching the Omega Point story, though a list of all their members was included with the followup comic.

As a result, though all of the Covenant members appear int he Botcon 2000 comic, it's not always clear who is who. There are some members whose identification is blindlingly obvious, others who are less certain but still generally agreed upon, and finally four Covenent members for whom matching a name with a form would essentially be a guess.
