Onyx Prime, a savage embodiment of Cybertronian instinct and nature. Onyx Prime: The Prime of instinct and wild forms
Created by Primus as one of the original Thirteen Primes, Onyx Prime was intended to preserve the balance between technology and organic life. Unlike figures such as Optimus Prime or Vector Prime , he was not a strategist or a guardian of time, but the protector of an older law: the law of nature.
He watched over the first Cybertronian life forms capable of mimicking biological creatures, thus laying the groundwork for what would later become bestial transformation. For Onyx Prime, power comes not from domination, but from harmony with the environment.

Where other Primes master war, time, or science, Onyx Prime reigns over wildlife and the natural mutation of Cybertronian forms.
Key capabilities:
- Absolute bestial transformation – perfect mastery of mechanical animal forms.
- Organo-mechanical symbiosis – fusion between primitive instincts and machine consciousness.
- Control of Cybertronian creatures – instinctive communication with mechanical wildlife.
- Primal force – increased power in beast mode.
- Awakening of the animal lineages – direct influence on the Maximals and Predacons.
His legacy can be felt in mythical creatures like Predaking , the ultimate symbol of Cybertronian savagery.
Onyx Prime and the Beast Wars Legacy
Although he belongs to an era long before the modern conflicts between Autobots and Decepticons, Onyx Prime is considered the true spiritual ancestor of Cybertronian animal civilizations.
Its influence extends into the philosophy of the Maximals and the brutality of the Predacons . Where the former seek balance, the latter embrace bestial domination, sometimes distorting the original teachings of Onyx Prime.
Through him, Transformers explores the duality between instinct and reason, civilization and savagery.
