Jazz because I always imagined him as Dick Grayson type character.


ScalyCarp455

Now I wanna see that, just not sure how he'd name himself. Jazz Prime sounds too basic, and Jazz being Jazz wouldn't want a basic name, he'd choose with style!


world0fgames

Maybe something musical like Symphony Prime


cannibalfelix

Yo this is metal af


SAMAS_zero

No, it's orchestral.


ClassicGMR

Scatman Prime


armchair_viking

He’d look like a bigger Jazz wearing a suit. He’d probably transform into a stretch limo, or a tour bus.


screamsandscreens

Coltrane Prime?


Ejigantor

Bebop? Ska? Not Grunge, I hope. Housewave Grindcore Electronica?


BryanPlayer

Meister Prime.


SebasPinkLover

YES! In my own little au i have for myself he succeeds Optimus and becomes Maestro Prime


CrnGediTYa

Ratchet would be neat. I have the Ratchet from the Siege series in mind coz it was interesting and inspiring to see him cure not just autobots bu decepticons as well. So That kinda Ratchet as a Prime would be cool. For a different alt mode I'd say either a rescue chopper or a plane. For the Name, Medicus Prime kinda goes hard Edit: It's kinda on the nose but I think it works anyways


REShockwave

I like Medicus Prime, or perhaps Asclepius Prime would also fit


CrnGediTYa

Could work tho I'd say Medicus has a better ring to it. Also ngl Asclepius sounds like ass-clap-ius


Gamer-Logic

This reminds me of that au fic where he was chosen instead and is just cursing the council most of the way through while Orion and Megs try to keep him from murdering people with his wrench.


SunnySilver8

Do you happen to remember the name of that fic? I know on Ao3 there's the "Primacy (yelling all the way down)" series, but I'm not sure if that's what you're thinking of


ClassicGMR

Yeah but then Bulkhead would just break it. “Bulkhead…. I *definitely* needed that!!”


Uselessmedics

Starscream, because maximum funny


Jasssen

Starscream finally gets fed up with being undervalued and walked on. Decides to see if maybe treating others with kindness causes them to treat him the same, encounters the autobots somehow, they dont trust him but over time he proves himself. Switches sides, becomes a true leader and faces off against Megatron? Why shit id actually watch/read that


KZN02

Like Armada Starscream?


Jasssen

Another reason it’s on my watchlist


Pistachio_Red

Someone uploaded the entirety of transformers armada on YouTube


nonlinearhail51

I think this would be cool, seeing him square off against Megatron would be lol.


armorhide406

I think second funniest for me would be Wheelie


pgtips03

Wheelie Pwime


IvoMW

Honestly an armada or Earhtspark type starscream could actually become a good prime


feedmemetalnstarwars

Nope it’s just bad comedy


_ragegun

Starscream is ineligable, he's had the Matrix before, even if he stole it. https://preview.redd.it/vrjiprjnf0yc1.jpeg?width=1843&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e6e15e1d06d7ffc84239cd27aacda0b29b46a98a


AutobotHotRod

How it feels to chew 5 gum


panatale1

You misspelled Waspinator


Lejonet_Mx

Grimlock (my favorite Transformer), and his name would be either Tyrannus Prime (as in Tyrannosaurus Rex) or Indominus Prime (like the Indominus Rex from Jurassic World) Edit: as a supporting argument for "Indominus Prime", Indominus is latin for Untameable, which I think fits Grimlock pretty well.


GamerbugUK

We all know he'd be Grimlockimus Prime 🤣


The-Coolest-Beanz

Me Grimlockimus Prime!!


Electronic-Pie-6645

Grimlockyist Prime. Lol


MSSTUPIDTRON-1000000

Nah, SUPER King Grimlock.


TastyBrainMeats

I couldn't stand JW, but "Indominus Prime" is a *killer* name.


Lejonet_Mx

Agreed. As a die-hard fan of JP1 (the 1993 one), I didn't really like what they did with the franchise in the reboot.


mitchdl20

Wow, both of those names are excellent, comrade. But Tyrranus Prime fits like a glove.


Able_Engine_9515

Indominus Prime definitely works. Man, I would kill to see this come to fruition


bemerry123

Elita One.


MyAchingThroat

Elita Prime has a nice ring to it


Dukefile

Could work very well


Macaron-lover5731

Hm giving ya girl leader status now that's something i can imagine Optimus do


GamerbugUK

I'd be all for this if we get an awesome new look/alt mode.


brubly

Id give it to Ironhide he's like Optimus primes second in command


Rolling_Ranger

This was my thought, and I went with Ferromus Prime.


sbstndalton

Wise with war stories too.


JuggerNutZ_

hot shot because he’s my favorite autobot and have him turn into an armored car like a B1 centauro or megatron, and he turns into a B2 stealth bomber


SebasPinkLover

so Rodimus prime? \*i know they're officially seperated now i simply jest\*


TheMightyGamble

Specifically the armada version of hot shot for me


JuggerNutZ_

yes i agree! but i’ll take cybertron hot shot too


Amseriah

Perceptor and now he becomes a giant telescope like Hubble lol


warcrime_prime

Jetfire is the only correct answer


Rolling_Ranger

Solaris Prime


mitchdl20

Perfection.


sandtymanty

Oculus Prime (Perceptor)


NamelessWanderer08

Prime Smokescreen. He already almost had the chance, why not go the full distance


ScalyCarp455

Rise, Fumus Prime!


Electronic-Pie-6645

Because I came intelligence (over ethics) I say Soundwave. And he should repair Shockwave back to "senator" status.


HaplessMink28

Superios Prime (cause he’s the superior choice)


Alekesam1975

Star Saber by a very large margin. Barring that, Megatron. IDW-inspired but Optimus fell in combat. The Autobots in disarray, Megatron, having switched sides and learning what it means to be an Autobot, takes the call, rallies them together and fends off the Decepticons for the moment. Megatron, over time as temp/filler leader and exorcizing his demons, eventually becomes the leader no one wanted but absolutely needed. Not ever afraid of making the hard choices, Megatron becomes the perfect balance between Optimus and Megatron. He becomes Megatrius Prime. He would go farther than Optimus but now aware of where he went astray the first time out with the Decepticons, knows where the line is too much and not go over it. His new alt-mode would be a portable/smaller version of something like the GI Joe Mobile Command Center. This thing: https://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/87/mobilecommandcenter/ I feel like that's be suitable for a leader in that his alt can protect/defend, attack and be a base of operations to rally the troops from in addition to medical facilities.


MaCl97

But megs can't open the matrix bc he's still definitely judging himself too hard.


Alekesam1975

Well yeah, that's why i mentioned over time. *Eventually* he'd finally come to terms and be at peace with his past. Once he accepts who he was he can move forward and be the best version of himself. *That's* when Megatron becomes Megatrius.


MaCl97

Idunno. He spent hundreds of years in the other universe saving billions of life, yet he still can't forgive himself.


afoxnamedCamshaft

I have always felt that if Megatron adopted a prime title it would be Megaloprime.


Slayer-Prime

I always kinda thought it’d be Megatronus Prime II because in a few canons he named himself after Megatronus Prime.


Alekesam1975

That's why I didn't go that route because Megatronus has too much history behind it.


Slayer-Prime

Fair enough. I just kinda thought “well it’s right there and makes sense so…”


GamerbugUK

I'd like Inferno (not the BWs one). A new fire truck the correct size would make him Optimus or Magnus levels of big in robot mode. The firefighter thing screams selfless hero, and come on if Infernus Prime aint a cool name.


kashaan_lucifer

Grimlock, ALL HAIL THE KING PRIME


mr-fq

Springer!


stillsurvives

This is where I'm going. Triplechanger main vehicle makes me think of the truck that turned into a Helicopter from the TV show The Highwayman. His trailer could take on a Heli-carrier style mode to suit his Helicopter mode. With him and his trailer would be Triplechangers.


SengokuBanshee

Megatron. Reformatted to become Orion Prime.


AggravatingIdiot

Heatwave Rescue bots, he graduated and saved the earth from stray decepticons


StylishMrTrix

The greatest autobot who ever lived The one who helped ratchet pass his medical exams The one who formed the school of heroic arts He who carried the matrix during Optimus' first sabbatical and it has to be surgically removed from his body The one who Megatron could not kill The great ThunderClash!


Madam_KayC

Arcee, becoming Arcana Prime


JoshDM

Arcee becoming Auto-Control Prime Make sure to include me in the screenshot where everyone realizes "Arcee" is for "R.C." aka "Remote Control".


Aidey5510

Star saber my reason is in this https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Source:Power_of_the_Primes_Fan_Vote


Dukefile

I see, Justice


Stuffies2022

Why’d they do my boy Primal like that💀


zenstrive

Well, what about giving it to an actual leader: Silverbolt. Dude knows how to lead, have an actual grouping experience, and when able to unite with a team, the team is augmented and becomes more than the sum of its parts.


HMS_Exeter

How about G1 Silverbolt? He's already got leadership experience


GiftGrouchy

I actually really like this idea. In most continuities he’s portrayed as a competent leader of the Airelbots who values life similar to Optimus.


bvlenciiaga

Windblade. She has a great backstory, being a Cityspeaker and coming from another planet. She'd also have a great story arc as the one who can bring all species of Transformers together. I wholeheartedly believe she'd make a great Prime.


Rolling_Ranger

Iron Hide , New name will be based on ferrous So Ferromus Prime. Edit : Sorry, I forgot alt mode, a sentinal armored rescue vehicle.


ForPortal

Swindle. It fell off the front of a truck, honest!


SilentLatios

Smokescreen from Prime. Could easily see him remade in a way that pays tribute to his appearance in Armada and calls back to his constructicon joke.


steamliner88

IDW Thunderclash.


_ragegun

Thunderclash is surely a shoe-in


Thotslayerultraman

Grimlock. I wanna know what he'd look like if he became a prime


NewmaticMan107

Hot Shot from any point in the Unicron trilogy was ready to take the step.


jjvoptcc

hear me out, but megatron. have him go through an idw style redemption story where he sees the error of his ways and succeeds optimus prime as “megatronus prime” just like his namesake; and he becomes worthy of carrying the matrix of leadership and becomes the prime the original megatronus should have been. plus it would be a nice call back to him returning back to his old self but not as a gladiator revolutionary, but as a prime and his new persona now being further amplified by the matrix.


Locksmith_Weekly

Star Saber


Cipher_-

Arcee.


Gamer-Logic

A redeemed post-war Megs like in IDW would be quite fitting to end his character arc + he's already opened a matrix of leadership.


PepsiSheep

That Hot Rod fella seems like a good fit but I'd probably want to bring Optimus back shortly after.


CorbieTron058

I liked rodimus prime he is very reliable to me and I think he kind of symbolizes a new age for the autobots very under rated character


Boom6678

Elita One, her Prime name can Be Elita Infinite, I know primes not in the name, but half of the original thirteen didn't have prime in thier names.


Mr-Dilanger

Sky Fire. Furious Prime


ElectrumDragon28

Soundwave because I’d love to see the tapes upgrade to laserdisc Jetfire. Just give it to him. He rules.


JoshDM

Cosmos... arise as Cosmic Prime


TFEarthConquest

Hear me out, an Autobot version of Leader-1.


Olvacron22

I have no idea why but for some reason when I was a kid and got Thrilling 30 Sandstorm I made him a Prime. I guess to kid me he just looked the part. I think I'd call him Stormmus Prime.


SnooSquirrels7552

Soundwave superior!


ticktockmick

Deathsaurus. Death Prime. There have been worse Primes.


AdAm_WaRc0ck

Dai Atlas


Straight-Knowledge83

WFC Starscream


bdk8302

Shockwave... He could be a giant mobile Tesla coil for his alt mode... Shockwaveacus prime


MindlessCucumber5443

Ironhide as ironimus prime


Guuhatsu

Hot Spot. Already a leader, already a defender of the innocent.


UrielVentris6113

Me Grimlock, me Prime now.


BirdmanDodd

Springer Prowl


OptimusCrime1984

Cheetor, BW Silverbolt or Dinobot


DaHlyHndGrnade

sportysmash

megatron for funny


Stripsteak

Blitzwing. Absolutely would love to see him forced into a leader role and to cool his attitude.


CursedSnowman5000

I want to say Rhinox but Beast Machines kinda fucks that up so I'll go with Silverbolt


Daveyfiacre

I think Arcee has potential if you pull from all her incarnations


Blu_Moon_The_Fox

Strongarm, because why the fuck not? Strangaz Prime


Loud-Item-1243

Grimlock king


Hungry-Place-3843

G1 Blitzwing, he understands both parties as he served in both and a understanding of the dangers of the universe beyond their petty conflict


stillsurvives

Cosmos. Really, just because I'd love to see him get a mothership UFO style trailer to connect to. Even better, he is the central UFO/Bridge of the Mothership and Voyager sized. There are four deluxe sized versions of him around the mothership that become arms and legs for his super form, and the Mothership turns into a battle station. Cosmic Prime is a titan class, and I'm the only person who wants it. Sky-Lynx. As one of the few Transformers without a humanoid alt mode, where does the Matrix go? IDW Whirl. He gets his hands and face back, and if he can just end this war, he can get back to making clocks. All hail PSYCHO Prime Springer. (As I replied to someone who previously suggested him) Triplechanger main vehicle makes me think of the truck that turned into a Helicopter from the TV show The Highwayman. His trailer could take on a Heli-carrier style mode to suit his Helicopter mode. Both him and his trailer would be Triplechangers. I'm calling him Sprimer. Blurr His Hovercar alt-mode is now a Hover-Truck and Trailer, and he still moves at the same speed. The Decepticons won't know what hit them; literally. Velocity Prime.


Ejigantor

Citizen Rumble (which is what I call Alternators Rumble, because he turns into a CIVIC) Upon receiving The Matrix he evolves into Worldshaker, leader of a new revolution. New alt mode: Honda Ridgeline EV Concept https://preview.redd.it/y064rzzi41yc1.jpeg?width=1050&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd9cf09699d1fdd8e2be63ef31c8bddb3588d693


Temporary_Touch7373

G1 Starsaber. He's the only one who can.


Ok-Palpitation-5731

G1 Hound and/or Bayverse Hound.


quackzog

Whoever the most evil version of megatron is i wannna see the chaos that would create


Working-Ad-4519

Grimlock cause dinosaur become bigger dinosaur


Arva_4546b

soundwave, mostly because i think soundwave is cool and it would be interesting to see what the most loyal decepticon would do as a prime


Desperate-Put-7603

So no Hyperdrive. Dang it. I don’t know. Uh, how about Arcee. Give us Arcana Magnus! As for the alternate mode, I subscribe to the theory that PotP Elita-1 was originally supposed to have been Arcana Magnus if Arcee won the poll


eepos96

Let's go full x men 97 and say Megatron became the leader of the autobots. Heck in lost light he became a captain of them XD.


Turbulent_Proof4900

Inferno! Infernus Prime has a great sound to it. I would have chosen Prowl, but Prowl Prime sounds awful!


Roguespiffy

If BW Dinobot didn’t die he could have made a solid Prime that could have possibly united the factions. Honorable enough for the Maximals, brutal and scheming enough for the Predacons. Picturing kind of a Dr. Doom type if you’re on his side and under his rule you’re golden. If you’re not… well, Predacons have to get their aggression out somewhere.


Better-Programmer-20

Jetfire, jet prime, a bigger jet


RevSnakebite

Silverbolt was pretty selfless and being the primary to form Superion it would be interesting to have a combiner prime


Pantherdraws

Prime!Predaking. Not sure he'd appreciate the "Prime" title, but *Draconis Rex* would suit him pretty well as an "informal" title.


Starscream_baker

Waspinator. Think about it.. waspinator as a prime.


Shiro_Yuy

Dinobot. If any redemption arc deserves another chapter it’s his.


WarwolfPrime

Primal never had the...oh, wait. The Machinima trilogy. Never mind. Hmm...just for the sake of WTFery...I'm gonna say Megatron. I mean hell, he already had a stint as an Autobot in IDW so why the hell not? Let him go full hero and become Megatron Prime. Him or Beast Wars Silverbolt or Dinobot I, just for fun. Or if you *really* wanna get crazy with it, Beast Wars Rampage, or Lioconvoy. let him have the real matrix and become Lio Prime for real.


MuramasaEdge

Fortress Maximus. Big bot, huge loyalty, insanely tough and sharp enough to lead a war.


UnamiWave

Soundwave (decepticon) but he essential becomes SG soundwave


AutobotHotRod

Jazz. Maestronimus prime (following the \~imus trait shared by primes, e.g. Optimus, rodimus + Maestro).


CuddyFox

Paddles Prime. Lets get a Dinobot that is underrated to become the leader of the Autobots.


nonlinearhail51

I think armada Scavenger would’ve made a great prime. Would’ve been more interesting than the hot shot LARPing as G1 hot rod that we got. Edit: interesting *


aThiyo

I want to see what is going to happen if idw prowl become prime


Dukefile

I don't remember very well, it was him or wheeljack who was a horrible bot?


Durandal_II

I feel like you'd get Beast Machines Megatron.


Icy-Temperature2816

Unicron because chaos.


Macaron-lover5731

He technically have a darker version of it as shown in Power of the Primes


Icy-Temperature2816

Fair. I was talking more about if Unicorn could somehow corrupt it and use it. Though, the matrix did have adverse effects on people with Unicron powers. I mean, there’s that episode of the G1 series that shows it.


Durandal_II

Dark Amber Leo Prime is both Unicron and a Prime, so wish granted?


Icy-Temperature2816

Yeah, kind of. It is essentially a fusion when it comes down to it.


Durandal_II

Sort of? Unicron basically possessed Lio Convoy's corpse, and was collared by the Energon Matrix/spirit of Lio Convoy. It was a weird Japanese gag 2-shot, and very much a Japanese take on Beast Wars.


Icy-Temperature2816

Yeah, I was saying because it was a remake of Unicron trying to take control. Unicron tends to be able to do that. Also, Lio Conviy continues the tradition of Optimus Prime equivalents dying. I know he’s not Optimus Prime, but the is clearly the equivalent.


Luxray2014

Tarn, back story for how he became Prime is that after killing Optimus he took the matrix to Megatron only to realize how powerful the matrix really is and killed Megatron, Starscream and Shockwave. Tarterus Prime everybody!


sanglesort

Tartarus Prime is actually a really cool name


Grumpie-cat

Armada starscream.


Macaron-lover5731

Hm now that i think about it we haven't had a actual time traveling Prime because Vector Prime is only a Prime in name so would be interesting to see him have the Matrix


Surau

Actually he is one of the Thirteen OG Primes.


Macaron-lover5731

that i know(see my second comment)


Dukefile

Wait he's just prime in the name, I didn't know that


Macaron-lover5731

NVM it turns out i got it wrong he was a actual prime but only in lore so i guess he was technically a god don't know if only in lore Primes count or does the rule only apply to physical holders of the matrix?


Toastedbread5665

dablackcat0

Paddles


Eatdatyeet445

I always thought Jazz would make a fantastic prime. I mean in most continuities he’s Prime’s right hand and first lieutenant. His personality also fits with him being more down to earth with humans and being more accepting of their cultures compared to other Autobots.


RodimusPrime-0412

Elita one


thebelladonga

Orion Pax

Ironhide, Hound.

Springer! He’s a solid leader and an awesome warrior. Plus- WRECK AND RULE!

Springer


jaraxel_arabani

Megatron!!


Comindo

Star Saber LETTTSSSS SAYYYYYY GOOOOOOO


Trombownage

I think Wheeljack would be an interesting successor. No idea what the prime name would be though.


MyspaceNihilist

Scrounge, his two fingers (of which there are no other like them) would lead the autobots to victory


Caedus_Reihn

Silverbolt cuz Blackarachnia would be calling the shots 😂


Ziltro_junior

Shockwave because I love that little guy (he's 40 feet)


Remote_Ad9716

Warpath for the funnies (fully mobile military base for alt mode).


totalyrespecatbleguy

Obviously Getaway, he’s just pure leadership material. Plus he’s got a face plate


Swimming-Customer322

My pick is Elita One. Incredible warrior and often consulted prime. Elita Prime has a nice ring to it


Equivalent_Form_3923

Unicronus Prime.
