Primacron's Assistant

Primacron's Assistant was an entity who apparently aided Primacron in his efforts to create more and more powerful robotic weapons. After Unicron rebelled, Primacron's Assistant escaped in a vessel that resembled the Autobot Matrix of Leadership (Cybertron Matrix of Leadership).

Primacron's Assistant settled on a distant and remote planet in a field of space junk. When Tornitron was unleashed on the universe, he summoned the "primitive" Transformers (those that had animal-like alternate modes, such as the Dinobots, Predacons, Terrorcons, Trypticon (Dinosaurer) and Sky Lynx) to his world. (He believed their simpler minds could find a way to defeat the incredibly complex plans of Primacron.) Once there, he informed them of Primacron, Unicron's origins and Tornitron, and gave them the information they needed to stop his former superior.

Comments

Primacron's Assistant evidently had some connection to the Matrix, and likely the origins of the Transformers as well. One also wonders if he had some connection to the Oracle, who also had plans for animal-based Transformers.
