Our own shockwaveuk has reported that Vector Prime has answered more questions from fans at Hasbro's Official Transformers Website. This time he addressed questions dealing with Primus, Female Alternators and Unicron Armor! Here are the questions and answers:

"My Name is VECTOR PRIME and I am as old as time. I was created by PRIMUS when CYBERTRON began to function as the guardian of the TRANSFORMERS. I am from CYBERTRON and as the guardian of TRANSFORMERS I have joined forces with the AUTOBOTS for good to defeat evil. I change from a robot to an ancient Cybertronian spaceship which is why I am able to travel through time to many different planets.

Q: What's the latest on the new Cybertron Primus item for this fall? When will it be available? I heard that the US version will have something unique vs. the Japanese version- what's the scoop?

A: We can tell by the number of emails that there is great excitement for this character. The mighty creator of the Transformers race will be released this summer to all stores. You can change him from robot-mode to battle station-mode to planet-mode, and unlock cool features with the Cyber Planet Key. In addition, the INITIAL quantities will include a bonus 3-inch battle-damaged Unicron head (US only).

Q: Are you the legendary guardian of time and space?

A: Indeed I am.

Q: How did Megatron get Unicron armor?

A: After the Autobots’ astounding battle with the Decepticons and Unicron, Megatron’s need for more and more power made him seek out the Spark remnants of the disembodied Unicron. Forging Unicron’s lost spark into armor, Megatron was reborn into the evil leader we know today.

Q: Who is the strangest person you ever met?

A: I think all human people are strange, if only because they have one form and cannot transform.

Q: Will there be a girl alternator transformer?

A: They do exist in my world, only time will tell if they cross over to yours.

Q: Why do the Transformers look different in every new season?

A: The Transformers ability to scan different forms allows them to look different in different stories.

Q: Can Leobreaker combine with Optimus Prime?

A: Yes, and their combination forms the Savage Claw mode. It is truly a sight to behold!

Q: Do mini-cons have cyber planet keys?

A: No, but in some cases they can act like cyber planet keys and unlock powers of greater Transformers.

Q: Will Transformers Cybertron air in Australia?

A: Yes, in time, our story will be told all over this planet you call Earth.

Q: Is the cut on Starscream permanent?

A: No it is not. In time, the self-repair systems we all have in our Cybertronian bodies will heal it.

Q: What is Backstop's cyber key power?

A: It activates his ramming robot-arm - watch out!

Q: Do you love dragons?

A: Dragons!? Like Scourge? By Primus no! If all dragons are as ill-tempered as the fiery leader of the jungle planet, I would not like to meet any of them!

Q: Can you boogie down?

A: When I was a younger Transformer, I was able to participate in many more activities. We once had a mini-con that transformed into a disco ball, but that was a long time ago.

Q: What are the names of the first TRANSFORMERS?

A: Of course, there is me- Vector Prime. Another of the original 13 was called “The Fallen”. We never speak of his evil...I cannot reveal too much of this information...it is the hidden lore of Cybertron.

Q: What do the symbols on the cyber planet keys stand for?

A: The symbols on the Cyber Planet keys represent the planet each TRANSFORMERS robot is associated with.

Q: When are EVAC and Backstop going to be released in the stores?

A: Evac and Backstop and both currently shipping in the US and should be in stores soon.

Q: Why didn't you scan an earth vehicle? Wouldn't it make you blend in better?

A: I am from an earlier age and my form reflects that. I am on earth to help save Cybertron and the Universe, I am not here to blend.

Q: I have not been able to watch any television due to hurricane Wilma. Will the Cybertron episodes be rerun?

A: Cybertron episodes are actually available on-line at http://www.hasbro.com/action/. Episodes 2-10 are available now and we will continue to add a new episode each week.

Q: Will there be any other mini-cons besides Jolt, Reverb and Six Speed?

A: Yes. Mini-Cons are a part of the Cybertron story so you will see them in animation. More Mini-Con toys will also be released late this year in packs of two!

Q: Is Vector Prime really actually old?

A: Yes, I am almost as old as the universe itself. I was one of the first Transformers ever created.

Q: Were you a leader back in your day?

A: Yes, I was a leader. During the golden age of Cybertron I was given the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. I led for many years until I was called into service as the protector of time and space.

Q: How come there is only one true Omega Lock?

A: There is only one Omega Lock because it is a part of Primus himself. Just like humans have one heart, Primus has but one Omega Lock...

Q: Why are you the guardian?

A: I am a guardian of time and space because Primus called me to action. After I stepped down as leader of the Autobots, I became the watcher of time. I have seen worlds born and destroyed...

Q: Were you evil?

A: NEVER! The Decepticons are evil! Not I!

Q: Does Evac have a cyber key power? If he does, what is it?

A: Yes, Evac does have cyber key power. When he uses the Cyber key, Evac's plasma rocket launchers are revealed. He uses these in the most dire of times when he battles alongside Crosswise on Earth!

Q: What planet do you come from?

A: I was created on Cybertron but I was given the ability to travel through time and space to be on any planet in any time, as I am needed.

Q: How did Sideways come back? I thought he was destroyed for good by Armada Optimus Prime.

Q: Who created Primus and Unicron?

A: Primus and Unicron were created by the "Source" - an ancient and powerful force.

Q: Does Optimus Prime have a brother and what is his name?

A: No, Optimus does not have a brother. Different Transformers can have the last name Prime and not be related. The name Prime is used for Transformers with important jobs.

Q: Why was Megatron lost In Energon?

A: He was lost because of his ultimate quest for power. His desire to rule the universe blinded him to what was going on, and he became lost.

Q: Does Override have a cyber key power?

A: She does indeed. When she activates her Cyber Key, her jet thrusters open up to 2 massive gun barrels to help blast the Decepticons.

Q: How did Overhaul Turn into Leobreaker?

A: Overhaul was being pushed to his very limits in a battle on Jungle Planet, when he called out to Primus to aid him in his fight. Primus responded from across the galaxy and activated the Cyber Planet Key of Jungle Planet. Overhaul was reborn into Leobreaker due to his never-give-up attitude and his never ending quest to defeat Megatron and Scourge.
