For the longest time since the fall of the Covenant, there was only silence.

Then, after many eons, life reappeared on Cybertron.

Approx. 10 billion stellar cycles ago

Deep within the core of Cybertron, Primus not only used the AllSpark to create his new creations, but also to construct relics that served conduits to its power in order for his Children to reproduce more of their kind. The first relic was the Plasma Energy Chamber, a reservoir of energy to give the new Children of Primus their physical bodies, while Primon's new form of Vector Sigma provided each of them a thinking mind. Next was the Omega Lock, a massive device that can only be activated by the four Omega Keys in order to reawaken Primus's power if anything happened to the AllSpark.

The new Children of Primus would be spawned from great wells of cosmic energy called hot spots, which were spread across the planet's surface, all of them interconnected to the core. Unlike the Covenant, who were digital entities like their creator, nor the Primordials and the Trans-Organics that were technorganic, the Cybertronians, also known as the Transformers, were entirely mechanical, humanoid robots with a variety of shapes and sizes. Each of these new lifeforms would have "sparks," tiny pieces of Primus's lifeforce, which truly made them alive.

Primus designated the first thirteen Cybertronians that he created as great warriors who would unite and lead their leader. With the AllSpark, he forges them by exuding thirteen towering spires of living metal from the surface of Cybertron on its north pole, with each of them glowing an unique polarity of energon. Not only they were constructed from the leftover remnants of the Covenant, they also possessed aspects from Primon and every member of the Guiding Hand (including Unicron and Adaptus) in order to better understand the universe. They were Cybertron's first warriors, tasked with the responsibility to guard Unicron within the planet's core. They were the Children of Primus. They were the first leaders of Cybertron. They were the Thirteen Primes.

The first of the Thirteen is Prima "The First-Made," the very first Cybertronian and leader of the Primes. A pure and valiant warrior, he wielded the mighty Star Saber, a sword unlike any other as legend said that its blade was forged from the heart of a dying star.

The second is Vector Prime "The Interdimensional Traveler," guardian of space and time. Capable of opening and sustaining warp gates to the farthest corners of existence, he is equipped with the Blades of Time: a pair of mystical swords that can open the ways to all dimensions of the multiverse.

The third is A-3 "The Voice of Memory," head recordskeeper of the Primes who was responsible for the preservation of historical events with the Covenant of Primus and the Quill to record the past, present, and future history of Cybertron. He also served as the guardian of Vector Sigma, the only one to bypass its security systems and activate the Master Computer with the mysterious Key to Vector Sigma.

The fourth is Solus Prime "The Builder," the blacksmith of the Primes and the first female Cybertronian. When he created her, Primus gifted her a brain module of unparalleled and unique capabilities, allowing her to utilize the Forge and the Creation Lathe to create many of the Primes' most powerful weapons and artifacts, along with a containment vessel for the AllSpark.
