#i like to think that Prima and Megatronus were moirails to balance each other

[witchofthesouls]

If I could write the 13 I would have Alchemist and Onyx hate each other. Since Alchemist represents civilization and its expansion and Onyx represents nature and instinct they had very different worldviews and butted heads a lot.

Oh yeah, I can see that. I have the headcanon that the Guiding Hand in TFP is the dominant triad of Prima, Alpha Trion, and Alchemist as they can represent the pillars of society: law, religion, and science. Plus, they were the ones that remained behind after the war that killed or scattered them.

Personally, I view Alchemist as one of the moderates of the Thirteen as he has a flawless mastery of chemistry since he's the original alchemist. He has a deep understanding of the world on a material and spiritual level. "As above, so below." The very metals and composites he worms with come from the world, so he would push for sustainability measures, which Onyx, Megatronus, and Solus will throw their considerable weight into it.

This Onyx would have howling matches with Prima's focus on just the bipedal mortals to the point of destroying the natural world they have created on their Father's, especially after Prima declared that civilization will lie ahead with city-states. Even after Onyx's death in Solus' grave to help power the Well, the conflict will continue as the Predacons and other Wilders will scorn the "Forceful Hand."

Without Megatronus, Onyx, Liege, and Solus and the eventual loss of Amalgamous, Micronus, Quintus, and Nexus to combat the immense influence held by Prima's court, it's no surprise that Cybertron lost so much of its natural state (exacerbated by the Quintesson occupation) as there was no powerful blockade to counter the Eldest's strict, unforgiving rulings.
