Transformers: Heart of Primus Part 1: The Characters

This is a basic rundown of how I would write a Transformers story, taking elements from all over Transformers media as well as other non-Transformers franchises. This rundown will include basic character summaries and Part 2 will be an overview of how the story would play out. This is a long one, so sit back, relax, and get ready for Transformers: The Heart of Primus!

Note: Photos used for the characters are basic representatives of what the characters would look like, not a representative of their personalities (in some cases, but we’ll get to that).

First up, the main hero team: the Autobots

Orion: Not Optimus Prime just yet, leads a smaller squad of Autobots. The sudden death of his mentor/father figure, Sentinel Prime as well as the betrayal of his brother Megatronus weigh heavy on his spark. Orion is gravely injured at the hands of Megatron. The Autobots retreat only to crash land on a distant planet. The Heart of Primus (basically the Allspark) stowed away on their ship and rejuvenated him into Optimus Prime. (At the end of the season)

Bumblebee: By far the smallest of the Autobots. Bumblebee doesn’t let this get him down, however, as much as he is teased by other bots. This often leads Bumblebee to overcompensate by volunteering for any mission set in front of him, in turn forgetting to ask for help. Bumblebee’s not just fast in motion, but also in the processor being able to come up with tactics in a fight faster than you can say Transform and Rollout!

Bulkhead: This big behemoth hails not from Cybertron, but from a distant planet known as the Trac-Tor system. When it comes to strength, he is second only to the Decepticon bruiser Lugnut. Bulkhead brought his pets, the Dinobots, with him to Cybertron after Megatron destroyed their planet in a show of power.

Jazz: The most chill bot you’ll ever meet. Jazz really doesn’t like to fight, preferring to sit back and jam out to Cybertronian tunes. Jazz was the originator of entertainment on Cybertron when he was swatting at an insecticon buzzing around his home. The funky beats created by hitting random objects was the first instance of music on Cybertron. His combat style consists of moves that he made up to be in tune with music he plays while fighting. This has been known to annoy every Decepticon he fights, as well as some of his teammates.

Powerglide: A former Decepticon and the Autobots’ air Patrol. It crushed his spark to see the once great leader Megatronus fall to darkness and become Megatron: The Fallen. Him and fellow Decepticon Jetfire defected from the Decepticon ranks, but Jetfire was killed when the pair was fleeing from Wrath, one of Megatron’s enforcers. Powerglide is the Autobots’ chief engineer of technology and weapons. Any gadget you can think of, powerglide probably invented it. He hopes to one day somehow resurrect his brother in arms.

Now time to discuss the main team of villains: the Decepticons.

Megatron: Megatron seized control of the Decepticons from Starscream in a trial by combat, causing Starscream to take any chance possible to reclaim his place one day. Only the strong should belong on Megatron’s perfect Cybertron. Though physically weaker, he is the only Decepticon that can best Lugnut in servo-to-servo combat. The only respect Megatron gives is towards his comrades. He would gladly lay down his spark for any one of them if it meant the Decepticon cause would reign supreme. He does not believe in sacrificing his troops as a means to an end. Each Decepticon has a purpose.

Starscream: Originally the supreme commander of the Decepticons. Starscream enacted the plan to take out the ruler of Cybertron and place himself as leader. With Sentinel, Orion and Megatronus out of the way, nobody would tell Starscream which star not to drain to keep Cybertron afloat. Who cares if the star’s death would wipe out an entire race? Cybertron needs Energon!

Lugnut: A certified, purple-oiled Decepticon zealot. If you have a Decepticon badge, you are a friend to Lugnut. If you are not wearing a Decepticon badge, or worse, weaning an Autobot badge, Lugnut will either try to convert you to the Decepticon cause, or flat out annihilate you on the spot. Leaving a crater where you once stood. Depending on how he feels that day.

Wrath: Megatron’s right-hand bot, much to the dismay of Lugnut. Wrath has all the brains that Lugnut had left out of his programming. He is a master tactician and strategist when it comes to combat. If Wrath has you tagged as a target, Primus only knows how you will make it out online.

Diesel: Who said trains needed rails? This gas-powered locomotive sure doesn’t, and his enemies sure wish he did. That claw on his roof could even slice through the hull of Trypticon given the chance. If you hear a train but don’t see any tracks, run for cover if you can find it!

So, those are all the main characters! Part 2 will be the story outline! What did you think? Leave a comment down below about things you liked or things you'd change. Stay tuned for part 2!
