The Covenant of Primus (or Book of Primus) is a compilation of Transformers scriptural texts believed to be prophetic. Only two copies remain. One was placed on the Ark prior to its launch. The other was found during the Beast Wars aboard the Nemesis, apparently having been placed there by Tarantulas. They speak of apocalyptic battles at the end of an age, It is believed that the Covenant of Primus foretold the Beast Wars. It was from these scriptures that Predacon Megatron took his name. (It is possible the original Megatron took his name from them as well.)
