Primus becoming a psychiatrist is such a dad thing for him to do. He still watches over his "kids". Even if they never get his name right.
I imagine Comp!Primus would be an effective psychiatrist for cosmic beings like Galactus.
I want more Rung in things. He’s such a sweetheart who genuinely cares about people. I don’t care if he’s Primus or not he should just be in more things.
That whole Rung reveal when I first read it... BLEW. MY. MIND!
First time I had heard about Rung and I admit, I liked the new adaption they did with Primus there (I'm used to the aligned continity)!
Same
Nope he is primus
So if Cybertron was organic in the past does that mean Primus' original warriors against Unicron were going to be organic as well? Like the Thirteen (or a version of them) weren't Primus' first children, examples being the Covenant shown in 3H comics and the Demons in the Marvel comics.
Favourite has to be the original version. I hoping we might get a basics on the Marvel comics someday.
As for my vision of the character, I want to remind you something:
Do you remember such a renegade bot named Sideways? An ordinary, unremarkable Autobot, shrouded in a veil of mystery about who he is. The Gray Cardinal, who at first seemed to be a simple autobot, then a Decepticon traitor, and in the end... well, we all remember who Sidewise was really. my idea is that Primus could create a similar avatar for himself, who, for one reason or another, would lose the memory of his purpose, for example. No, well, I think the idea is interesting. I'm in favor of transformers being associated with mighty cosmic deities, because it's just cool: giant robot gods are fighting in space, YEAH-A-A-A-A-A-A!!! Under the epic ROCK AND ROLL, OH YEAH-A-A-A-A-A!!! For me, this is an inseparable part of the setting, however, as for the creators of IDW, they also created D-void, which is a stupidly chewed and digested version of our beloved Giant Horned Man. (Poor Unicron) I don't recognize this nonsense with the fake gods of Cybertron. The fact that the writers did not understand the essence does not mean that it should not be. This, of course, is their right, after all, freedom of creativity, but I am disgusted by many of the ideas of the Lost Light Saga, I just want to spit.
By Primus.......
He has come....
11.20 Primus transformed into a Sonic Screwdriver? Cool!
I can see the collectors club creating a primus figure that is a repaint/remold of Rodimus prime from power of the primes.
Love your videos, please keep up the good work. Also I'd like to suggest you perhaps doing a video on my favourite Transformer, Dead End
I have one gripe that I must talk about and that's the fact that you didn't mention that Primus was an evil being in the shattered glass universe
Atleast he wasn’t killed by a Cosmically Powered Starscream
...But that's a story for another day
I'm not even joking when I say "It got pretty close though"
his spark did power starscream in cybertron though so...
Oh, Starscream certainly tried... only to get slammed by Cybertron's moon's for his trouble.
If I had a dollar for every time "Cosmically Powered Starscream" was brought up in one of these videos...
Personally, my favorite version is the multiversal singularity who exists as Unicron’s equal and opposite. It gives the franchise a broader, more epic scope. It doesn’t require creators to feature Primus or Unicron, but ensures that when they do use them, it’s a major event.
Well... tfwiki.net/wiki/Shroud
I totally agree
Fabian Rocha Yeah, I know that and understand why they did it. I don’t necessarily agree with the decision, but what can you do?
Which IDW Comics tell the reveal of Rung?
@@magnusprime962 get creative, make your own dam different Unicron and Primus in every new cartoon, I mean have you ever heard of the word "creativity" "originality"
3:14 T-Posing in front of Unicron. What an absolute power move
Lol
Although not powerful enough, sadly.
Super powerful move
the T stands for transformers
π
I haven't thought much about Primus's Unicron Trilogy origin, I don't hate it though. But Primus as the Creator of the Cybertronian race, starting with the 13 Primes to help in his Battle against Unicron, definitely my Favourite origin story!
Same, and the Aligned continuity did it best.
And it's one of the unique and best story of the transformers universe
That's the one that I know of.
Yep
Yay
The mythos of Primus is instantly more relatable, exciting and alluring than Scientology
Should have mentioned the fact that after Rung died and the Matrices were used up, almost everyone forgot about him. They even found his office and thought it was a room they simply never noticed. With the only one who seemed to be able to remember him again being Rewind after constantly watching old recordings.
Also, his Functionists Universe version punched Moonbase 2.
HerrLokiZockt he punched the moon
If you had told 5 year old me that a transformers comic would him cry, he’d have acted like a tough guy. More than meets the eye/lost light kept making it happen anyways.
@@GM_MorganV so true..
Not to mention the Lunarians, the Cybertronians forged on Luna 1, all resemble Rung and even blend into background of any given situation.
I would love a mix of the Rung and Cybertron Primus. Maybe have Rung be an avatar he uses to observe his creations while his main body was in stasis mode.
It's like the song:
_~What if God was one of us?_
_Just a slob like one of us,_
_Just a stranger on the bus, tryna make his way home?~_
@@foldabotZ Ooh, mix a bit of the Unicron Trilogy, the original comic, AND the multiversal singularity stuff with the IDW comic and that'd be perfect.
I actually thought of something similar.
though my idea also ties Primus with the Quintessons in a way that the fanbase might deem a *bit* controversial.
I like this one that seems like something someone would do in the future
@@christopherbravo1813eh I’m sure it’s a fun creative origin 😊
I love Primus. The lore of all other forms of fiction is so humancentric. Transformers is like, nah, God is a robot, and humanity is just a random act of evolution.
Yes! I know! I love it as well! The biggest problem I have with most science fiction is how humancentric everything is from the story long to the lore of the aliens themselves.
@@DarkStarSentinel true... The hole "Humans are the center of the universe" is getting boring...
@@basedpota I like to think THE ONE is God and Primus and Jesus are the best of bros.
Galaxy Force kind of implied that he created life on planets all over the Milky Way, but the dub cut out the line specifying that that included Earth.
@@basedpota
If the One created the universe, then why did the One create the original Unicron in order to explore the universe before splitting him into Unicron the Lord of Chaos and Primus the Lord of Order?
I love that ep of Cybertron where an enlarged Starscream tried to pick a fight with Primus.
I always like to describe it as “Starscream got mooned by God”
THOSE ARE MOONS ???!!!???
Truly Starscream is the ballsiest of all Transformers.
But he got clapped
MrLFJ7 “YEAH PRIMUS!!! MOON THAT LOSER!!”
Shout outs to all the cool parents that dropped a 90 on that cybertron figure for their kids
Got 2 of them from marshalls for 40.00. One to open one to put away
I remember that toy being the hottest new one every kid just HAD to have lol.
My gramps did that
Ye my parents were like „aight kiddo“
my parents lol they spent so much money on transformers
My god....this whole time I thought the “Rung is God” comment was a joke....but he literally was Primus! I need to read more of the IDW books!
And McFeely just happens to have an episode to help those who don't know where to start.
I started reading the IDW run with ‘all hail megatron’ and it got better and better. Read everything with my son and I got pretty good at doing voices for most bots. My Rung voice was essentially Dr Venture
mmmichelin1 that’s really sweet!
Does anyone know where to actually start the IDW? Im really interested but never made since I feel like I've been missing so much
Except he wasn't a god, just the first ever Transformer.
I was hoping you'd mention Primus the Order Bringer from Shattered Glass :P have you ever considered a Cybertron religion episode. They've created a few interesting bits of mythology over the years
Especially IDW taking some of them and bringing new ones as myths and legends.
It was the 4th ever episode of this series
Kinda weird seeing robot religion but yeah ok
now to put primus and unicron in smite.
if Cthulhu can get in, then so can the transformer gods.
Well thers a problem these are planet size beings
@@ronanchristiana.belleza9270 that is why we need galactus in the chat
You know how as a kid you'll pretend that you're sleeping when your parents come into your room to make sure you're not playing video games all night? Thats what Azathoth is doing so Godzilla dont catch him trippin', Godzilla would omega blast that furry into oblivion.
@@ronanchristiana.belleza9270 if unicron can make more human-sized avatars, then primus can too
Broooo
I’d like to see Rung return as an emissary of Primus. Not a Prime, but as the first Transformer he made so he could forge artifacts like the Matrix and Solus’s hammer. While the Primes remain the chosen ones of Primus, Rung is like a Hermès who serves Primus. In golden age Cybertron he became a psychiatrist to help his brethren and once the war breaks out he is tasked by Primus to deliver the Matrix to Alpha Trion and then take the Key to Vector Sigma off world and out of Megatron’s reach. Inevitably to seek refuge on Earth where the war comes to him.
An alternative is he chooses to take the weakened Primus’s spark into himself to preserve his life force until Cybertron could be restored. Once on earth, Primus would reveal himself to Optimus Prime when his need was greatest.
Rung’s story ends when he sacrifices his own Spark to allow Primus to create a second Matrix, an Energon Matrix, so both Optimus and Rodimus can use their combined powers to end the war. Cybertron is restored and Primus returns to the core.
The TRUE Robo-Jesus
One Christmas, my mom bought me the original Cybertron Primus figure. To this day I am still thanking my mom
Same here I was so excited I couldn’t believe it
I remember watching the Cybertron animated series, getting to the episode where Primus transformed, and absolutely losing my tiny 14-year-old mind
@@basedpota bay would find a way to ruin it as well
I remembered thar episodes
“Tiny” “14”
Wut?
My suggestion is that the Lore is that the Bayverse versions of both Gods can only temporarily kill each other
Using the Matrix of Leadership, Bumblebee becomes Rodimus Prime and permanently kills Unicorn, only a powerless spirit remains of him
Bayverse Primus congratulates Rodimus for doing the impossible
Same bro
1:32 basteroids
I mean it fits
Is that like the mug that's also a bastard?
.
Primus damnit
Make
The Basics On: A Cosmically Powered Starscream
He already did "The Basics on Starscream" and talked about it there. Though, he could still do "The Basics on the Underbase" to go into more detail.
this comment was killed by a cosmically powered starscream
He would, but then he'd be offlined by a cosmically powered Starscream.
He did it. He made “The Basics on The Underbase Saga”.
Primus ranks as one of my favorite fictional deities. Kinda hard to say why considering that he actually doesn't do a whole lot in TF as a whole beyond existing and being a key figure to its lore, but he's still up there. I think it's the fact that he transforms into a freaking planet that clinches the deal.
Same here. Primus will always be a favourite. My other favourite fictional Deity is Mata Nui from the Bionicle franchise!
@jockadoobee says you.
@jockadoobee Lmao well when put it like that, yeah. I mean deities that are not from any ancient religious texts or ancient legends and myths. Referring to stuff that was created by a modern writer of fiction, so this would include stuff like Primus from Transformers, Mata Nui from Bionicle, Arceus from Pokemon, etc.
@jockadoobee Not here dude
As much as I loved the character of Rung and the twist in the story kinda do like Primus more as a planet sized god. I mean I could easily see Rung as something like a Headmaster but as the Omega Lock and not know he is, if I was to do a series with him.
Agreed
I dont like Rung being Primus either...
@@fabianrocha9924
Primus without Unicron is like Megatron without Optimus Prime.
@@basedpota Well Unicron tends to use Sideways as his herald so maybe Rung can be Primus'?
I like the idea of rung being a construct of Primus to watch over his creations while in deep stasis and witnessing the events that shaped the face of Cybertron for eons
I’d go with Rung being an avatar of Primus in the same way as the Cybertron line’s version of Unicron.
Hot take Rung's adorable wholesome kindness works better as a personality for Primus than just a booming voice and authoritative sentences. However, if he is ever Primus again it'll need to be done differently because of how well MTMTE/LL did it.
And do it like how Cyberverse handled Maccadam.
Maybe a combination of his personality and the old school origin story could work? Like, have him be an all powerful god, but he never acts like it.
Rung can just be Primus's Clark Kent
@@holoitsme3012 That sounds hilarious.
GurrenPrime Or maybe Rung would be a Headmaster or Powermaster to Cybertrons body or something like that
I wish people would remember that Primus was kind of a dick when he was first introduced. In issue #74 of the US Marvel Transformers comic Optimus Prime repeatedly gets mad at Primus for his callous and manipulative attitude towards his creations. I dunno, it just seems like an interesting dynamic to me.
Gods don't like being questioned in holy texts or in fiction.
@@gentlemanlygeeky4088 >holy texts or in fiction.
wym you just said the same thing twice
@@basedpota Yes, hubris and egotism are common characteristics of self-proclaimed creator-deities.
See? That's how you write a deity.
I know some "geewuners" hate Rung, and call him a "self-insert" of the writter, but i think his presence in the comics gave the characters new dimensions personality-wise, the fact that he got a figure in the main toyline is something that puts a smile on my face for holding the IDW comics as my first step into the fandom, too bad Hasbro's toy distribution sucks, otherwise i would've gotten two figures of him. BTW fucking Has/Tak needs to do a Fulcrum figure, the true, best character of IDW's comics.
@@basedpota I like to think that in the old IDW continuity a stable time loop is the reason for Cybertron's and the transformers existence, and it's all because of Shockwave.
Shockwave creates the 13 ores, one of which affects time. Thus creating a stable time loop in which said ore causes Cybertron to become cybertron and creating the first transfomers, eventually leading to the creation of shockwave, who then proceeds to create the 13 ores, one of which affects time....
We stan the robot prototype for the MC of Godzilla Minus One

Brilliant as always Chris! I am floored by how much research and love goes into your Basics Videos and how attention to detail and precision goes into your videos bringing them to a whole new level of entertainment I look forward to every time I get a notification of youtube and twitter. Keep up the good works and looking forward to the next one!
Excellent video, Chris. To answer your question on favorite origins, I won’t lie, my heart still goes to the multiversal singularity seen in the Unicron Trilogy. I do like elements of the Aligned Continuity version as well, though.
Especially since the singularity is still definitely a thing, all universes had their own origins for primus and unicron anyway so nothings different, all the aligned continuity did was let authors do whatever they want without worrying about the fans going "but that doesn't tie into the singularity", and how in the world would the star saber ever have enough power to do that? Did primus AND unicron just decide to commit suicide? Why do they still show up in almost every universe?
It's just so authors don't have to worry about becoming dc comics
So agreed with the multiversal thingy.
But if Primus is a multiversal singularity, doesn't that mean he's creating an army of trillions of powerful robots across the multiverse? Seems a little suspicious to me...
@@ltb1345 All to take down a super powerful entity that counters him. It's best not to overthink it.
@@ltb1345 Huh? 0_- Feels like it.
IDW`s Rung always was one of my favourite characters. And when it turned out that he was Primus all along... It was kinda unexpected, but I liked this twist.
Aww Rung is so sweet, one of my faves too. I was surprised by the storyarc too, but I prefer him like this, to the large god he was portrayed as in earlier incarnations😊
@@basedpota honeslty i say if rung does return has primus but has a god just make it say that he just made himself a new body and just go round in the background helping people
Rung's colors are the same as the Matrix in the 80's film and the markings on his chest looks like the Matrix.

Creation myths don’t need to be finalised, even for robots.
That said, I’m still up for Simon Furman’s basic idea of manifest creation vs entropy. It’s properly mythological, not provable and all a matter of belief - and a very comic book style way of tackling the issue.
Not going to lie. I'd like if they merged the Rung concept with the conduit idea. Primus is still this powerful God of creation and order, but he masquerades as the psychiatrist Rung to walk amongst his own creations without having too much leeway to interfere in their lives. Sort of like the Gods of Greek myth.
"What's in store for Rung?"
*glances at the Energon Enemas*
Some things are better off not known.
Just saying, it's pronounced Jüng. It doesn't rhyme with Rung.
Not in english, apparently.
Simon Furmans origin of transformers blew my mind when I first got into transformers comics and cartoons. I believe it allows for transformers to be taken more seriously and showing a spiritual side to the franchise. Making them more human and relatable. However, when reading phase two of IDW and Rung was introduced therefore tossing away the origin o was highly disappointed. Sure, it's a different universe but just seems phase two was trying to do away with a ton of elements that made transformers special.
Agreed
Bruh I feel the same 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
It's always new people that want to "reinvision" established canon. This is how we ended up with Beast Wars
@@Cre8Lounge the best transformers series, you mean?
When something so fantastic and legendary, turns out to be so normal and equal. And I say this with all the wonder in my mind.
8:22 one day we'll get a Kissplayers episode...or maybe not
Nah no thanks
That seems like a bad idea
@@bluerobin2982 That seems like a *_HORRIBLE_* idea!
No God, please no.
Someone is gonna sponsor an episode about, it is inevitable.
I think the multiversal singularity idea could still work; like, establish that the different versions of Primus and Unicron are still linked to each other, but come in all different forms and are associated with Cybertron’s history in one way or another.
5:16- “Till All Are One”...hmmm...now I think I know what Prime meant.
Unicron be like: "Till One Are All."
@@absolstoryoffiction6615 Really more like "Till all are none."
What did he mean?
I personally like to combine the G1 cartoon and comic origins. Maybe sometime after Primus went dormant, the Quintessons enslaved the Cybertronians for their own gain.
I think they more-or-less said that in the JP & 3H universe.
Go check Rodimus Primal's video on the subject
I love Rong! He is my favourite IDW character.
...or was it Rang?
Wanst it Ring?
Step..per? I'm sure it was something like that.
@@fabianrocha9924 Wrung, I think?
Perhaps wrung
Does anyone find it interesting that through out the years Primus has shown a darker side? Like there's abandoning his earliest children like the Covenant & Demons (and possibly the organic life that once lived on Cybertron), creating his main children through the multiverse to fight & murder each other in a supposed effort to get rid of his brother & being nothing more than weapons, and despite RG1 being shit; it was sorta interesting that it said that Primus used the multiverse as a testing ground to supposedly create one perfect world and what that implies. Anyway I prefer the multiversal Primus origin with elements from BM & IDW.
Where did you get the idea that he actually purposely created the transformer race to fight and murder each other? He creates them to have free will and of course a race of beings with free will aren't going to always get along with each other.
@@Troublethecat Primus supposedly saw into the future a couple of times and KNOWINGLY created the Liege Maximo, ya know; the Prime of EVIL.

@@Troublethecat dude it's in ALL continuities
"For all their supposed omnipotence... even gods can be conned!"
A better idea for Rung is that he's a means to witch Primus uses to interact with his creations in modern times while he rests inside Cybertrons core.
I never liked the idea of Rung being Primus. It just seemed too much like the Mary Sue concept that Roberts had already mocked earlier in MTMTE.
As Usual, great VIdeo! My Favorite back Story for Primus is the Unicron Trilogy one! He and Unicron are Opposite brothers, a superior being which decided to start life in Space... after charting the whole universe. I still think Primus being the Core of Cybertron should always be the canonical Story for him. I rather the Epic story or 2 primordial beings charting, creating, and destroying (Unicron), the Universe.
I feel like the Primus origin = creationism, and the Quintesson origin = evolution. One is idealistic, it involves higher powers and higher purpose. The other is the brutal reality, forms made for specific functions, there are creators but they are indifferent and flawed.
I have a kind of head canon where the Quintessons built TWO factory planets. One produced industrial robots, the other military robots. After turning on the Quintessons, the military planet turned on the industrial planet and started a campaign to literally consume the resources of other planets to fuel its military production. Kind of my own little harmonization of the two main origin stories, and I admit that I actually prefer a more pedestrian origin to a cosmic one. A toyline of transforming robots never really warranted a Biblical origin story to me, with dueling gods and thirteen disciples and all of that.
Thank you SOOO much for the episode! Taking a break from making a full course pasta dinner from scratch. This was a delightful breather! (IDW's take was my fav interpretation. Rung is a great character.)
If i'm making my own Transformers re-boot i'm going to need as much knowledge as posible about its characters and mythology in order to not get slapped in the face by Beast Wars Megatron.
Im thinking rung could be an external construct of Primus’s consciousness, wandering the surface to watch over his creations and witnessing the events that change the face of Cybertron itself

Idw primus is my fav
I remember reading the IDW issue when everybody was fighting to use the Matrices to defeat the Faux-Primus. It was such an awesome moment. It honestly recaptured the fealing of that moment when Optimus showed up on earth in the first movie, I even had the song playing in my head.
Wait a sec. Primus himself was Megatron's shrink at one point? O__O 12:33 ish
Yes. Good for Megs, can't think of anyone better at healing him☺
I always preferred the more mythic g1 comic version. Particularly the subtle differences between primus's version of events and unicrons. The prob with God characters is the more ya use em the less epic they seem.
Galactus is a classic example of this (and the 1st one's in babylon 5).
To be done right ya really can barely use em at all :)
I don't really have a favorite version of Primus, as my preference is to take bits and pieces of Transformers lore and make my own personal version of it.
I CAN say, however, my least favorite is IDW. I utterly loathe how IDW seemed to do away with any sort of cosmic entities in their stories. Almost makes me think they oppose the idea of deities in fiction entirely.
Considering how religion typically got depicted their, I wouldn't be surprised. In fact, the only cosmic entities shown, D'Void and the Omega Guardians all turned out to be villains, eldritch horrors.

I love how this guy is able to explain what is essentially a toy commercial with such esteem and proudness. I’m in love with these videos and I’m so happy they’re here
The basics on Primus:
Primus is an American funk metal band formed in El Sobrante, California in 1984. The band is currently composed of bassist/vocalist Les Claypool, guitarist Larry "Ler" LaLonde, and drummer Tim "Herb" Alexander. Primus originally formed in 1984 with Claypool and guitarist Todd Huth, later joined by drummer Jay Lane, though the latter two departed the band at the end of 1988. Featuring LaLonde and Alexander, Primus recorded the live album Suck on This in 1989, followed by four studio albums: Frizzle Fry (1990), Sailing the Seas of Cheese (1991), Pork Soda (1993), and Tales from the Punchbowl (1995). Alexander left the band in 1996 due to lack of interest [1] and was replaced by Bryan "Brain" Mantia, with whom Primus went on to record the original theme song for the TV show South Park and two more albums, Brown Album (1997) and Antipop (1999), before entering into a hiatus in 2000.
Been waiting for this episode of the basics for a long time, and it didn’t disappoint
9:40
This image and it’s info has been in most in these videos.
There will be more of this in future episodes.
It’s only Logical, considering it’s a huge part of every TF lore.
Both Rung and Xaaron were on the Lost Light and what I wouldn't give for them to have had even a single scene together.
Oh, wow, I had no idea Rung was Primus. Man, I REALLY need to catch up with those IDW comics someday. ^^; Oh well, you learn something new every day. :)
It's a very cool reveal as well,you're gonna enjoy it a lot :-)
I really wouldn't mind if they revealed a twist that Primus isn't the god of the Cybertronians, he's the god of the Quintessons. He created/evolved them, they gained intelligence, became post-Quintessonian (that's why they're a bunch of giant floating heads) and built the transformers befor the transformers rose up against them Terminator style and built their own society.
Eventually the Quintessons built a metal body for Unicron C'tan style so Primus kind of abandoned them and chose the Transformers or something, that could be a myth.
WOW! I never would have thought Rung had any kind of connection to lore like that. Incredible!
*G1 Marvel Primus:* I trapped myself in a rock.
*Unicron Trilogy Primus:* I had three dedicated series chronicling my eternal struggle with my brother.
*Aligned Primus:* I was technically retired.
*Rung:* I... I have a PHD in psychiatry...
*Other Primuses:* ...
*Aligned Primus:* I knew I should've taken up a hobby...
Aligned Primus: It is not my time...I shall collect Transformers Action Figurines
Rung: Well, I have a job AND a hobby.
I always prefer the idea of Primus as a benevolent godlike entity that opposed Unicron and created the 13 Primes to help in this task. With the idea that the Primes are the penultimates of their race and any Primes after them being ordinary cybertronians who have proven worthy by their own virtue and accend to Prime with The Matrix.
The Multiversal Singularity origin is easily my favorite origin. I wish that the Shroud did not affect every universe, just most of them. This was one of the best episodes yet. As a side note, have you ever considered doing an Advanced series?
I love the idea of Primus being the one who created the Transformers, whereas the Quintessons would be the ones who manipulate the Transformers race into believing that they were their slaves!
Do the basics on ratchet.
When this is going to happen ÷
Basics on megatron
4:09,holy crap! I didn't know they said his name in that cartoon. 0_- I always thought they recognized the G1 cartoon but looks like its retconned.
8:20,guess the Quintessons are always destined to think they deserve credit for making the Transformers and were self-righteous in those deeds.
8:30,so that's where Cyberverse used this idea,eh? 0_-
10:05,ah dammit.
12:11,he and McAddam should get along fine.
I absolutely HATE that singularity crap.
It stifles creativity.
I am so happy Hasbro got rid of that.
I was very dissapointing with IDW Unicron Saga, I was really expecting a fight between the gigantic Unicron and Primus, it was too much asking a proper conclution?
In my mind, the Quintessons are the true creators of the Transformers, and Primus is simply part of their religion
I got to be honest, the new version of Primus in IDW is lackluster, I love the concept of Primus been a god for the transformers and that Cybertron itself is him just as Unicron is the manifestation of darkness and evil and Primus is the manifestation of light and good, making him a normal ordinary Cybertronian is just lame to me. I not a fan of the Unicron Trilogy, but I still love that origin and also the Aligned continuity, of War of Cybertron and Transformers Prime, the 13 primes and Unicron and Primus, is just such a cool origin story, so I sad now hearing that they are reducing Primus to a normal everyday Cybertronian and than that will be the story probably in the Siege cartoon....man thats lame.
I’m a fan fiction writer, and I’m writing my own version of the Transformers origin, which borrows from all versions.
The history that’s told on Modern Cybertron is what we all expect. Primus and Unicron fought, Primus trapped them inside the asteroids, the asteroids reshaped themselves into metal planets, Primus created the thirteen Primes, etc.
But then an invasion force would attack Cybertron and would challenge that history. The invading force is the quintessons, who were referenced a few times in Transformers legends, with some theorizing that they were one of many creations of Quintus Prime. And upon capturing one and studying it, they realize that their technology, while visually different, is actually the exact same technology as Cybertron, fueled by Energon, capable of transformation, etc.
But then the Quintesson wakes up, and agrees to explain everything. He says that they are invading Cybertron as they want to reclaim it. After all, they did create it.
Optimus naturally doubts his claim, as they were created by Primus, and the Quintesson replies.
“Yes, you were. I’m not denying that. We did read your history coming in, and much of it rings true, but many things have been altered over time. Like Quintus Prime creating us. That’s not true. We created him. All he did was advance us from organic beings into the glorious robotic race we are now. But back on the topic at hand.”
“The early parts of your history are completely accurate. Primus did fight Unicron, they were trapped in asteroids, and Primus did create the thirteen Primes. But that’s where your history deviates. If it stayed true, then you’d know that that’s where we came in. When we first found your planet, it was it was nothing but an asteroid with a massive energy sphere in the centre and thirteen smaller ones surrounding it. We were running out of fuel and desperately needed a new power source, so we integrated these energy spheres into our machines and found that they gave us unlimited clean energy. Only afterwards did we realize that the energy spheres were sentient and alive. So we gave them robotic bodies, and with their help, we started building factories on the asteroid until it evolved into what we now call Cybertron.
The large energy sphere didn’t have a name, so our emperor, Primacron decided to name it Primus, after the first half of his name. And by merging Primus’s essence with our Vector Sigma computer, not only did it become sentient, but it became capable of giving life, specifically through another artifact of its own creation, the artifact you know as the Allspark. From there, your race began to grow, and our technology began to flourish. But then you turned on us. You called us slavers and banished us from Cybertron. From there, Primacron vowed revenge. And from there, we found another asteroid. And upon communicating with the entity inside, he realized that he was an enemy of Primus. Seizing the opportunity for revenge, Primacron converted the asteroid into a weapon capable of deconstructing planets and named it Unicron, after the second half of his name. But then we were betrayed again, as Unicron turned on us, forcing us to flee back to our home planet. But now we are back, and we are ready to reclaim what is rightfully ours.”
Wow that was long. Got carried away with my creativity there.
That sounds really interesting. Could you provide a link to your fanfic
@@person14876 Late reply. No link as of yet. Right now I’m more focused on original stories, and this fanfic is still in the planning stages.
In your writing, how did pre asteroid Primus fight Unicron if it took Vector Sigma to grant Primus Sentience?
Also I think the word you want is cognizance as sentience is the capacity to perceive and react to stimuli, and cognizance is the capacity to think.
@@Nahli2001 No. Primus was already sentient. It was Vector Sigma that became sentient when merged with Primus’s essence.
@@Arthus850 Oh, my mistake. I didn't see the distinction and took it the wrong way. Thanks for the correction!
I definitely prefer Primus as a god 🙂
As cool of a story this Rung character has, I do prefer the giant robot god with a planet for an alt mode better.
Given that Simon Furman was a writer for Marvel, could the idea that Primus be a Celestial from the First Fermament? As depicted by Marvel comics. As well, might we consider Unicron be an Aspirant? Just a thought.
Amazin'!!
It's the main bot 'imself~
*GOD.*
Question? Who created Primus
Les claypool.
We don't talk about kiss players
I must came here to say one thing. Primus Sucks! Oh...not this one though. Someone will get it.
3rd Anniversary month? Now I KNOW this month’s is going to be ULTRA GEAR!!!!
Please make the next one about dread-wing? 1:he's the only decepticon Optimus respects! 2:maybe you can dig up some information about him. 3:just like the wonder-bolts in m.l.p f.i.m he's designed after the blue angels!
We have a hasfan here.
While I love Rung, Primus v Starscream is my favorite Primus moment ever.
We need a basics on the rest of the Guiding Hand. Then we can have a Gods playlist with those guys and Unicron.
@@basedpota And I want to know about them.
At last, the basics on Primus! That last part about him being an ordinary Transformer was a surprise to me, and also sort of reminded me of what happened to the Great Spirit Mata Nui in the ninth year of the Bionicle story. Also, I am considering supporting the channel on Patreon, but I need to work out my finances before I make any attempts. I apologize if it looks like I’m spamming, I was writing this comment before and I think I posted it before I could finish it.
Been curious as to how the Bayformers movies would handle Primus and the true origin of the transformers since the Last Knight's introduction of Unicron and the Quintessons make me think the introduction was near
At the same time though, the Last Knight kinda made me not want Michael Bay to butcher the story of the Transformers God and Devil
I don't like IDW take on Primus.
