Hot off the press boys, here's my latest wallpaper. It's of Primus. Who is Primus, you say? Well basically, within the Transformers mythos, he's Cybertron. You see, at the beginning of our universe, a god-like interdimensional being called The One, created two beings to explore this new universe. Those two beings were Unicron (who became evil-Chaos), and Primus (called the god of Light-Order). Primus, eventually decided to stay in planet mode, and to use part of his life-force (his Spark), to create the Transformers, and then eventually the Matrix (as a type of guiding force, as well as a weapon against Unicron.

Anywho, this wallpaper is of Primus. Enjoy.

PRIMUS-Blue

PRIMUS-Red

I added all the effects and highlights, as well as an enormous amount of color correction (particularly for Cybertron, which was orange in the original pic I scanned in). And, for any Transformers fans here, I'm sure you'll recognize the shots from the Movie.

I'll be making a Unicron wallpaper next.

(oh, and thanks to those who helped me out yesterday with my Photoshop questions)

What.The.Hell?


I was under the impression that Primus had never been shown in robot form. From whence did this illustration come?

It seemed like every season of TF had a different origin story. What about Vector Sigma? And what did the Quintessons (sp?) have to do with the creation of the transformers.

And I thought in season three there was an episode with an energy sucking monster who was supposedly created by the same person as Unicron?

And what of the term Gestault? Is that from Transformers, or is it a general term?

That's a cool looking book, gonna have to pick it up.

Oh, awesome pics, thanks.

Have to grab that book - I already have the ones on Spidey and the X-Men. Didn't realize there was a TF one, too.


And the word gestalt has always meant something that is different or greater than than the sum of its parts. It isn't TF-specific, it just fits the combiner teams perfectly.

I never knew Cybertron was a bot and I've been watching Transformers since Season 1. I've learned something today. Thanks.

Would you mind if I posted this on a Transformers forum I frequent? I think it'd be well received there.

Feel free. All I ask is that you let them know who made it, and give me a link to the thread you make.

Interesting, I don't remember Primus looking like that(my memory is fading). Nice picture though.

I don't remember him looking like anything. There weren't any robot pictures before, to my knowledge. There were humanoid ones, I think, but not once he was a Transformer.

This is why I love Dreamwave's Transformers series. The art is fantastic. I've love to get this in 1024x768 resolution.

On the old board, I did say it was a scan from the Laser Disc tv series back on bigbot.com.

You mean they actually put the series on Laser-Disc, or it was an entirely different series, on Laser-Disc?

A couple of years ago, Takara released the first and 2nd tv series of the Transformers on Laserdisc(a bit expensive too). It came with some great artwork and other pictures. Kinda weird they released it as a Autobot and Destron sets for Laserdisc.

Ok so since there are people who supposedly 'know the history' here, could someone explain to me if there's any sane way to connect the old show (G1 I suppose) to the new ones (Armada and Energon)? I've kind of avoided re-seeing any of the old show episodes because I fear they won't live up to nostalgia, but even so it all seems rather messy.

Like, there's a Rodimus guy in Energon who is obviously not HotRod/Rodimus Prime from the movie, and is this Optimus the same as in the old shows?

Note: I pretty much know how the Mainframe series (BeastWars/BeastMachines) connect, however.

You can't connect them! Two different things altogether.
Armada and Energo = purely Japanese
Generation 1 = Marvel written/Japanese animated.
Beast Wars/Machines uses some history from comic and some from the cartoon.
