Transformers: Mosaic #619 - "The 1101"

wada sez: "1101" is 13 in binary. Primus, Primon and Prima are all historical/mythological figures in G1 lore; Ghela has clearly read the “-a” suffix in Prima’s name as being gendered feminine, using that as inspiration for this strip. The villain in the final panel is the Liege Maximo, who in the Simon Furman-penned 3H Productions prose story “Covenant” was said to have torn “the Matrix of Leadership from the shattered remains of Primon”. That same line was what introduced Primon in the first place, with the story later establishing that he was the Matrix-bearer who preceded Prima. The purple arms seen in the sixth panel are a match for Alpha Trion, an elder Transformer with a history of rebuilding bots in the Sunbow cartoon, who we can assume is the narrator of this story. In her rebuilt form, Prima bears a clear physical resemblance to Optimus Prime, likely to imply she’s his ancestor in some sense. On the face of it, this story doesn’t really jive with the concept of “multiversal singularities” which was established canon at the time, but without any word from Ghela it’s impossible to tell what his intent was; I’ve tagged this as being a Marvel story as this is all based on Simon Furman’s writing. Note a tiny "Part 1"—would you be surprised to learn there was no Part 2? See below for a teaser piece created for this story.

Dear Prime Petitioner,

That question is much harder to answer than you might have guessed. Despite having been forged alongside Alpha Trion, the more I explore the reaches of the multiverse, the more I have… questions.

I see a pattern replaying over and over throughout generations. The name is unimportant, the hint of the insignia remains. Alpha Trion, A3, Primon, Alpha Prime, Sig-Omega, The Old One, Solomus, Arrius. The mentor, ancient beyond reckoning. I see others standing by his side. A previous generation, a guiding hand, a covenant.

A loooooong time ago, @transgirlsoundwave gave me and a couple of buds a challenge: produce (draw, digibash, whatever) a Titans Return style box set themed around one of the Thirteen Primes.  I chose Prima!  Consequently, each of the characters had to demonstrate great leadership or be the first of something.

Leader Class The Last: Once the first of his kind, the Last renounced his name after a time of great loss.  Now, he exists only in legends passed down by Autobot and Decepticon alike of an ultimate warrior and lonely sentinel who awaits his destiny at the heart of Cybertron.

Voyager Class Leonicus: The firstborn and de facto leader of the Covenant, the bestial Leonicus and his kin are prototypical creations of Primus.  The Covenant lie in wait until such a time that Cybertron reaches the prophesied Omega Point.

Deluxe Class Nova Major: During a time of civil war, one warrior will rise up from among the ranks to unite the Thirteen Tribes and create a unified Cybertronian society where everyone would be in their place.  His name: Nova Prime.

Legends Class Centuritron: As powerful as one hundred warriors, Centuritron channels Prima’s courage and heroism to rise up against his fellow gladiators’ alien oppressors, the Quintessons.

I like this Image of Optimus with Past Autobot Leaders, But Where's Prima, Zeta and Guardian Prime??????

It Drives Me Insane Learning there are More Transformers who apparently Exists Before Prima

(If they ever Retool Legacy's Lio Convoy Figure into Leonicus from Transformers Covenant, I might Get him)

I'm Disappointed to Learn that Prima is Not even the First Prime in the G1 Transformers Cartoon Continuity
