YIPPEEE TY

okay so uh starting off with context: so the aligned continuity was the attempt to make a connected transformers universe. It was... not that successful, in all honesty, however the lore that it created especially surrounding the Transformers: Prime show (My comfort show!!!) is AWESOME.

Some of the best sources for lore and background information are the three books in the Exodus trilogy. I have them, and the first two are Exodus, and the direct sequel Exiles (im about a third through it currently, i cant read small text for a long time and it's annoying :[ ) and than the third book written by a different person that is more of a prequel to the TFP show itself. The two other books that i dont have are The Covenant of Primus (i can read the pdf though!) and an art book, The Art of Prime.

Starting with background lore (which may be wrong im doing this all off the top of my head) there are two main 'god' characters, the creator god Primus, and the dark chaos death god Unicron. Initially they just woke up (they were one at first) and were kinda there, alone. But soon they developed two sides of themself, and what ended up happening was they got so conflicting that they split into two separate entities.

They fought for EONS UPON EONS. constantly, but since they were the equal yin and yang of a whole entity, they could never best each other. they were perfectly balanced.

One day, Primus decided to impart a fraction of himself into thirteen new entities, who became the Thirteen Primes. Now i forgot the names of most of them but the ones i do remember was the first, Prima, he was like the leader??? Megatronus, Liege Maximo, Solus Prime, Micronus, Alpha Trion, and Thirteen. i forgor the rest :0

but anyways, they each had an ability, and or artifact given to them that corresponded with their personalites. also, iirc, there were like three/four specific Primes who stood out from the rest. Soulus was female, Micronus was a minicon, and another one??? was assumed to be the earliest version of an animal-like cybertronian. these all caused the following cybertronians who were born from the well of allsparks on cybertron to have a 1/13 chance of being one of these special ones. just thought that was cool.

well they all trained most the time to defeat unicron, with Micronus running these simulation things, and Soulus using her forge to create weapons. they all had their own relationships, and Megatronus (WHO IS NOT MEGATRON, MEGS NAMED HIMSELF AFTER HIM) was like an outcast becuase he was more like unicron in a sense, being more angsty and emo or sum idk

well anyways, they all kinda were like sibling, and got along like how housemates would. affectionate but they do hate each other sometimes fr. there was a specific relationship between Megatronus and Solus, because she was the first person to trust him with a weapon and that essentially gain his eternal trust and love for her ever since.

than there was the little brother the mediator (my mbti muehehehehe) Thirteen. Can you guess which prime he was, out of the thirteen?

anyways he was the person who kept them from killing eachother, and was all round a very pleasant person i imagine, very parental and gentle, but assertive and not afraid to confront issues (WINK WINK FORSHADOWING)

well after they trained enough, they finally fought unicron and it's like most epic battles like, reading it from the Covenant of Primus was AWESOME and it was a BOOK. like whoa :0 anyways they managed to throw him into space and make him unconscious somehow and he's out of the picture for a long time.

after this Primus decides to master oogway into a planet, and somehow turns himself into... cybertron. somehow??? and after all the primes kinda ascend into the allspark, thirteen is just 'no, i dont think i will.' and he decides to be reincarnated as a lowly cybertronian.

named orion pax, the fans are 90% sure.

if you know you know and i mean... is it cliched? OH YES IT IS. but is it fun and fanfiction fodder? OH YEAH IT IS.

anywas i'll stop here this is very long i did this all from the top of my head can you tell this is my big biggest special interest yippee i'll keep going later but i love the lore sm yayyy
