Primus
The creator deity whose body became the planet Cybertron. Unicron's eternal opposite in the franchise's mythology.
Where he comes from
The primal force of creation. His body became the planet Cybertron and his spark the Well of All Sparks, from which Transformers are born.
Story
Primus is the creator god of the Transformers. In most versions he creates the Thirteen Primes to oppose Unicron, then falls asleep at Cybertron's core, leaving the world to his children.
He rarely appears in person; more often he acts through the Matrix of Leadership, chosen Primes or signs. For the franchise's heroes Primus is more a faith and a hope than a character you can talk to.

Fan prequel: «Why He Fell Asleep»
An original story by this site. Not part of the official canon.
When the Thirteen Primes had cast Unicron into the depths of space, they came to their father and asked what to do next.
Primus was silent for a long time. He saw his children arguing, saw Megatronus eye his siblings with envy, saw that even the best of them wanted their father simply to tell them what was right. And he understood: as long as he stayed awake, they would never learn to decide for themselves.
"I will give you a world," he said. "But not answers." And he gave his body to the planet and his spark to the Well from which new generations would be born. Ever since, every Transformer carries a piece of Primus. And each must find the answers alone.
