| abstract | - The Covenant of Primus (or Book of Primus) is a databook containing numerous datatracks. It is a compilation of Transformers scriptural texts believed to be prophetic. The original Covenant is the work of the great sage Alpha Trion, who has chronicled Cybertron since nearly its beginning with the artifact allegedly granted to him by Primus, the Quill. By its nature the Covenant is said to chronicle even the future, but interpreting such things is difficult due to the symbolic phrasing the tome uses. As well, even Alpha Trion has difficulty reading too far into the future, as each section of the Covenant is written in the language of the era it represents. Thus, the most ancient sections of the book are scribed in languages long dead from the planet, and the far future is written in languages no Cybertronian yet speaks. It is unlikely that any copies of the Covenant retain this property, as they are presumably only transcriptions of the Covenant as it existed at their time of making.

Nemesis Part 2 (It is possible the original Megatron may have taken his name from them as well.) Whether the prophecies in the Covenant only refer to the end of the Beast Wars, or whether there is, say, something in there about Unicron, is unknown. It's also unclear whether these were genuine "visions of the future" prophecies, or whether someone went back in time to write them. Both explanations have precedent.
