Description
Here's Micronus Prime, the very first Minicon!!!

Beyondverse Micronus Prime's design is based off of his Aligned and IDW counterparts.

His artifact, the Chimera Stone, has no canon description or picture, so I has based its design off of the Mini-Con Matrix, which briefly appeared in Dreamwave's Transformers Armada comic book.

-

Overview: 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 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.

Alternative Names/Designations: Micronus the Catalyst, The Conscience of the Primes, The First Minicon
Alt-Mode: Cybertronian Battery Unit
Gender: Male
Forged/Constructed Cold: Forged
Rough Age: 10 Billion Stellar Cycles
Home Planet: Cybertron
Home City/Polity: Crystal City
Species: Cybertronian
First Language: Cyberglyphics; numerous Alien languages
Partner Titan: Prion
Affiliation(s): Thirteen Primes

Status: DECEASED

Personality: Micronus Prime was tiny in comparison to the rest of his siblings: fast, volatile, and containing more energy packed inside him than four of the others put together. What he lacked in scale, he more than made up for with his mind, always coming up with a sensible suggestion or clever plan. He was always a watchful observer too, so he often knew what was going on with the others even before they did. Primus intended him to be the conscience of the Primes, and he took his role very seriously. His innocent nature made him an immediate friend of Solus Prime and those like her, though the early Primes were too somber for his taste.

Weaponry/Equipment:
The Chimera Stone: Micronus's artifact, the Chimera Stone, enables him to connect with the other Primes and to direct his energy in the form that suited them. This is also allowed him to mimic their abilities for a while after the Chimera Stone bonded him to them.
Abilities:
Ally Augmentation: Micronus Prime has the amazing ability to connect with other Cybertronians and boost their power output for incredible feats of strength or endurance. With his power, they were never outgunned. After his death, Micronus's ability would be passed down to his descendants, the Minicons.
Bio: Micronus Prime was the fifth Prime created by the AllSpark through the will of Primus. Together with his rest of the siblings, the Thirteen Primes ruled prehistoric Cybertron with benevolence from the planet's first city, Crystal City. During this time, Micronus Prime collaborated with Nexus Prime to create the first Headmasters: regular-sized Cybertronians combined with Minicons, to serve as the Primes's frontal infantry in wars against hostile aliens. He also worked with Solus Prime at her Forge, using his powers to augment her hammer strikes with his own energy, allowing her to create powerful tools and weapons.

During the years leading up to the Unicron Battles, the Primes began planning for their future campaign against the Chaos-Bringer as they trained to the Cybertronian civilians to become full-on warriors called the Knights of Cybertron. Micronus gravitated towards the growing faction of Strategists: Alpha Trion, Quintus Prime, and Liege Maximo. When the time eventually came to fight Unicron when he arrived, Micronus worked as a saboteur, crippling and distracting Unicron while the warriors damaged him. The Thirteen Primes ultimately triumphed over Unicron, and together they were 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 entered a period of expansion as they colonized distant planets and aggressively terraformed them in Cybertron's likeness, displacing and, in a few cases, killing off their original organic inhabitants. Unlike most Primes who colonized worlds that were already inhabited, Micronus was among the four Primes (the others being Onyx Prime, Quintus Prime, and The Arisen) who became fascinated with non-Cybertronian life and sought to preserve them. Aboard his Titan, Prion, he colonized a distant world that he dubbed "Planet Micro", where he lived in seclusion until the outbreak of the First Cybertronian Civil War. On Micro, he oversaw the creation of a new civilization of Transformers birthed from Prion's hot spot, which eventually developed into a world of Minicons.

After returning to Cybertron when hearing about Solus Prime's death, Micronus was heartbroken by the loss, and almost overcome with rage when he realized that Megatronus Prime was behind the killing. Inconsolable, he refused to believe Megatronus's side of the story. The Primes confronted Liege Maximo, who Megatronus had accused of orchestrating the entire scheme and that Quintus Prime was his accomplice. The anger and misery finally boiled over within all of the surviving Primes, sparking the First Cybertronian Civil War.

Later on during the war's twilight hours, it would be discovered by A-3 (better known as Alpha Trion) that Quintus Prime was actually manipulated by Megatronus Prime and Liege Maximo to use Vector Sigma to create warriors for them to use their goal to wipe out all non-Cybertronian life, and that Liege Maximo was the true orchestrator of Solus's death and the entire war. Micronus Prime watched as his fellow Primes exiled Maximo from Cybertron, seemingly forever imprisoned aboard his Titan Vigilem.

Micronus later joined Prima, Vector Prime, A-3, Alchemist Prime, Nexus Prime, Quintus Prime, The Arisen, the Knights of Cybertron, and the Protectobots aboard Prima's Titan, Emissary, to hunt down Megatronus Prime and his army of Terrorcons, eventually tracking them down to a young planet that would one day be known as Earth, where they had their final battle. Micronus emerged from the fracas unscathed, although Onyx Prime was fatally wounded, Prima and Nexus Prime were killed by Megatronus Prime, and Megatronus himself was trapped in eternal limbo by The Arisen with the Creation Matrix of Leadership. When the remaining Primes had calmed down, they set about tending to the wounded. Over a period of time, Micronus and the other survivors buried their fallen brethren. Hoping to put their ugly past behind them, the Primes turned their attention to Cybertron and their plans for the future. Micronus tried to comfort the dying Onyx; the two called a meeting of all the surviving Primes.

As Primus had created them, the Primes decided that they would create the next generation of Cybertronians using the power of Onyx's Triptych Mask within the Well of All Sparks, and the Primes would retire from active society. At the last moment, Micronus Prime decided to accompany Onyx Prime on his final journey into the Well. Together, along with The Arisen, their sacrifice activated the Well and allowed it to start producing new life.

Micronus Prime's descendants, the Minicons, are the smallest of all Cybertronians, sometimes not much larger than a human. They are fast, agile, stealthy and intelligent, though lacking in strength. They have no class preference for alt-modes, choosing whatever suits their tasks and/or personality at the time, and possess Micronus's power of ally augmentation, the ability to link with other Cybertronians to provide a power boost or unlock new capabilities. Minicons are separated into three subgroups: Deployers, Activators, and Weaponizers. Many Minicons emigrated to the moons of Cybertron after their enslavement by the Quintessons during the Age of Wrath. Originally, all Minicons had ally augmentation. However, the Deployer Minicons lose their powers under unknown circumstances. Today, only Activators and Weaponizers are the only two Minicon subclasses with ally augmentation, but it's currently limited. Alpha Trion destroyed all evidence and records of the Minicons's full potential to prevent their power from abused from beings like the Decepticons or the Quintessons ever again.

Micronus Prime's artifact, the Chimera Stone, would be under the care of the Minicon Council of Sages, who reside on Cybertron's first moon Hecate, awaiting for the day to use its power to unlock their race's full potential when the time is right.

As for Micronus's colony on Planet Micro (also known as Prion, named after the Prime's partner Titan), the Minicons there lived in relative peace until they were discovered by the Black Block Consortia, a radical splinter faction of the anti-mechanoid Galactic Council. The Consortia promptly sterilized the planet and wiped out a majority of the population. Fatally wounded, Prion used the last of his energy to open a Space Bridge to send the survivors to the nearby colony world of Gigantion. From the Realm of the Primes, the spirit of Micronus Prime felt the deaths of his friend and children, saddened as he couldn't do anything to help them in his ghostly form. One lone survivor hid while the Black Block Consortia finished their onslaught, a femme Minicon named Nickel. Just days later, she was found by a group of Decepticons, the Decepticon Justice Division (DJD), who offered her a place among their ranks, and she joined to get revenge.

During the Third Cybertronian Civil War, a neutral faction of Activator and Weaponizer Minicons called the Microns would depart from Cybertron aboard a ship called the Exodus to escape the war. Unfortunately, Decepticon saboteurs aboard caused the Exodus to collide with Earth's moon, causing the ship to break apart. As half of the ship fell into Earth's atmosphere, emergency systems fired Minicon stasis panels in every direction and scattered them across the planet. The Microns remained hidden over many eons until in the year 1984, a group of human children discovered the remains of the Exodus and accidentally reactivated them after 7 million year stasis, escalating Autobot and Decepticon hostilities on the planet.
