## Biography

At the dawn of time, Primus created **Micronus Prime**, conscience and moral center of the Thirteen. Although he is the smallest member of this venerated group, he possesses boundless reserves of energy and a clever mind, enabling him to predict the actions of his brothers and sisters before even they know what they're going to do.

Micronus's innocent nature belies his strong ethical sense; although he takes his role very seriously, he approaches his duties with a light Spark and an easy touch. He eschewed the most dour members of the Thirteen in favor of the free-spirited Onyx Prime, whom he once considered his closest friend, and his creative energies also inspired him to strike up friendships with Solus Prime and Nexus Prime. Micronus's siblings always appreciated his presence—he could impart a fraction of his energy upon them using the Chimera Stone, directing his own energies into a form that suited their needs. He would pass a version of this ability on to his descendants, the Minicons.

Micronus Prime was the fifth Prime created to battle Unicron. As the Primes began planning for their future campaign against the Chaos-Bringer, Micronus gravitatred towards the growing faction of strategists: Alpha Trion, Quintus Prime, and Liege Maximo. Their early fights against a simulated copy of Unicron went poorly, although Micronus and Megatronus were adamant that Unicron considered himself too independent to create a similar set of "Dark Primes".

As the Primes began building weapons for the upcoming conflict, Micronus worked alongside Solus at her Forge. Using his own abilities, he would augment her hammer strikes with his own energy, allowing her to create powerful tools and weapons. Among them was the Chimera Stone, which would become Micronus's own iconic artifact. As Solus worked with the other Primes, Micronus befriended Onyx Prime, and the two became inseparable. As the Thirteen trained and planned, Micronus worked alongside Solus Prime and the other strategists to create a massive computer capable of running through all of Unicron's possible responses to an attack, a forerunner to what would one day become Vector Sigma.

The time eventually came to take the fight to Unicron. Micronus worked as a saboteur, intending to cripple and distract Unicron while the warriors damaged him. Perched on Quintus's shoulder, Micronus participated in the great battle against Unicron, drawing off the Energon-seeking missiles that Unicron fired at the Primes by venting his own energies. With Prima and Solus leading the charge, the Primes managed to fight their way inside Unicron with the help of Vector Prime's portals. Unicron's Dark Energon counter-attacked provoked a flood of nightmarish visions, which nearly overwhelmed their attempts to shut him down. Only the calm words of Optimus Prime inspired them to persevere with their mission, and Micronus laughed that as long as they were together, hell wasn't such a bad place to be. The Thirteen ultimately triumphed over Unicron, and together they returned to Cybertron, giddy in their victory. What they didn't know was that close contact with Unicron had amplified some of their inner darkness.

In the age that followed, the Primes began building a settlement for themselves, dividing into like-minded groups—some focused on labour, while others debated law and philosophy. Micronus worked with Megatronus, Nexus, and Liege Maximo on an Energon refinery. However, Micronus—along with Onyx Prime, Solus Prime, and Nexus Prime—never fit in with one group or another; they viewed the other Primes as dour and unimaginative, and chafed under some of the strictest laws imposed by Prima. While Megatronus and Solus Prime developed a strong, mutual affection for one another, Micronus was happy for them. Even so, tensions continued to rise between these ad hoc groups, which finally boiled over after Prima learned about a "farm" of robotic beasts that Liege Maximo and Quintus Prime had constructed. The Primes held a vote to decide the future of the farm; Micronus voted against letting the project continue.

One way or another, he ended up creating the sub-atomic realm known as Microspace seven million years ago, and retreated inside it. His inert body lay at the center of the Entropy Cloud which threatened to destroy that universe entirely.
