Dynasty of Primes

Thirteen Primes (Dynasty of Primes) [Seven Primes]


The Dynasty of Primes  was the ruling class of Cybertron eons ago. Formed by the first seven Cybertronians, the Dynasty ruled Cybertron and protected the AllSpark until they were betrayed by one of their own, named The Fallen (Megatronus Prime).

The only named Primes are Prima, the first Prime; Sentinel, who remembered his ancestry; Bendy-Bus, whose status is unknown; and Optimus, the last of the Primes.



At least by 17,000 BC, ancient beings known as the "Seven Primes," reached the Solar System in their quest to build a  Star Harvester, but they discovered the chosen system contained  a life-bearing world, and so six of the Primes objected to using the Harvester on the system's sun. The seventh, however, insisted on using the Harvester anyway upon weighing the longevity of his planet and his race against a seemingly meaningless organic world. This Prime quickly turned on his brothers and their creed, waging war against them, with those who agreed with his ideals by his side. After attacking and killing many of his fellow Primes and slaughtering a large number of early  humans he was thereafter ever known as "The Fallen." The remaining Primes mounted an attack on their new nemesis and hid the  Matrix of Leadership—without which he could not activate the harvester—in a  tomb composed of their own bodies on the very planet he sought to destroy, using the last of their energy left from the epic battle to completely seal it.
