Description Next up in our line-up of Original Primes with an Animated makeover, we have a dude who can't really seem to decide what he wants to be.

Meet Amalgamous Prime, ninth-born of Primus, and the father of transformation, from whom the transformation cog is descended.  Both the original T-Cog and his shape-changing Scythe were his personal artifacts, and it's strongly implied by the Covenant of Primus book that he was the only member of the Original Primes who could transform.  Still, it's shown that the T-Cogs of future generations were descended from him, albeit not as advanced as his since his T-Cog made it so that he could take on any shape he imagined.  As such, he was a trickster and a light-hearted prankster among the Original Primes.

After the War of the Primes ended and the new Cybertronian species of Transformers were born, Amalgamous left Cybertron for parts unknown, although some bots with his archetype would occasionally demonstrate their greater shape-changing abilities, and were named "Shifters" (no relation to the Shifters of my original stories).

For this, I decided on a mix of Frankenstein's monster and Amalgamous' Aligned look.  I figured that might be the best way to showcase a guy who's always changing his appearance.

The song choice for this one is the Jimi Hendrix version of "All Along The Watchtower".

Up next is Quintus Prime, the one responsible for the creation of the Quintessons.

Let me know what you all think in the comments.

Yeah, that’s part of Amalgamous’ charm, he’s always changing.

Hence, he’s the reason on how Transformers got their name.

Yep, though the idea of him being the one who started transformation, as well as being the only one amongst the 13 capable of transforming, kind of takes away the idea of the Original Primes being the original Transformers.

Thanks, and yeah, it was a part of his Aligned design that I chose to include.

This is really neat. Well done. I remember doing so much research on the primes when making my OC Sabotage, who is the creation of Solus and Megatronus Prime.

Thank you.  Any critiques?

Erm, I'm not really one for formal critiques. Sorry  
I just think it's a creative design for one of the most ambiguous of the primes!

This is better suited for him in the Animated Universe better than his Prime version, to be honest.

At least now you can make heads and tails of his form.   I almost considered adding a blur effect but decided against it.

ZER0GEO-Arts In reply to RexBlazer1 [2018-02-17 21:16:37 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that's true XD. I think it's good you didn't go with a blurring effect.
I don't do well with blurred things.

Hurts your eyes?

I'd mainly considered it so as to give off the idea that he's always changing shape.  However, the lightning does that well enough, I think.

That's just me.

I see. It is done well enough.
