Talk:Prima
Is Prima pronounced 'Prime-uh' or 'Preem-ah'? -69.88.91.218 20:11, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- I doubt there any official sources on pronunciation for this, but I'd go with "Prime-uh" given the general "Primus" connection from which this name is obviously derived.--G.B. Blackrock 20:25, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- Uh, I think Prima was the FIRST Matrix-bearer, according to the Creation Matrix. I don't think Primus counts as one. He's listed first because he IS the Matrix. --ItsWalky 21:30, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
So it is! I was thinking Primon came first.
- Primon is only ever mentioned in the Omega Point BotCon fiction. We're not really sure what his deal is, compared to Prima. --ItsWalky 21:41, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
I'm feeling entirely too lazy to think up how to integrate it into the existing text, but it'd be important to mention that DK's "Ultimate Guide" book specifically states that Prima was the first Transformer of 'em all, accompanied by the panel from the G2 comic that showed the first TF emerging. - Chris McFeely 21:49, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
- Aaaand, I see Derik's made that point already elsewhere. - Chris McFeely 21:50, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

I don't see how the bot previously known as "Powerful Robot" can be the first Transformer. He was a pre-Transformer for one thing, but I'll give the benefit of the doubt that "the first Transformer" doesn't literally mean he could transform. But, as the article says, he "was created from the corpse of another robot" so he was created late in the game. By Quintessons. Unless it was actually the guy who was recycled into "Powerful Robot" who was Prima. In which case, his entry has to be changed to make that clear. - Starfield 02:26, 2 July 2010 (EDT)
- Powerful Robot being Prima makes no damn sense at all. We see his creation, on screen, and it sure as hell wasn't as one of the original 13 Primus made way back before any Quintessons were around. --KilMichaelMcC 16:29, 6 July 2010 (EDT)
Optimus Prime's ancestor
I only know it has been confirmed that Optimus Prime's ancestor has bee assigned to Prima. But I think we need to write down a source in Note section just like how we mention AllSpark Almanac II declared "Powerful Robot" is Prima via an Ask Vector Prime entry. --TX55TALK 03:44, 2 July 2010 (EDT)
