Not exactly. In the Transformers Prime cartoon he was a being defeated by Primus and the original 13 transformers. Earth forming around him was merely a coincidence. I think the same is true for the live-action film version. In most of the other continuities he is a god and rival of Primus of some kind. I think the only one where he isn't a god was the original cartoon where he was created by scientist named Primacron.

my players split Lolth into the pure and innocent elven goddess of song and divination Araushnee and the Spider Queen of hate and chaos, and they took Araushnee home with them. They had her create a race to be interns for their acq inc franchise (yes yes, problematic, it's a game), she gifts them with song and is often sad. Then one day a half dozen mercykillers with a Marut and 30 modrons popped into their town, heading for the goddess they tried to stop the Marut They're level 9 They did not stop the Marut However they did do an asspull to keep their god friend around: they had her willingly erase her knowledge of divination, erasing that from her baby-god portfolio and changing her true name (this was a player's idea, and it's the kind of shit I am all about as a DM), so the Marut just scanned, found no valid target, and blooped away. The rest of them shrugged and left (walking over the broken party members back to their exfil point where a portal nabbed them up). One of the players kidnapped a Quadrone and is now using it as a barkeep/accountant/spy/chef Mechanicus is still not happy with them but I have informed them that the bureacracy of the planes means they've probably bought another year or so

1:44 Actually most of the outer-planes are relatively self-governing. Literally the only one that has a specific god running the show is Hell. All of them play host to some gods though. Celstia for example is known to host Moradin, Bahamut, Yondalla, etc. but the plane is run by the "Celestial Hebdomad" who are 7 badass celestials. Moradin has a sub-plane within the center of the mountain known as "Erackinor" or "The Dwarf Home" which also has an exit in Arcadia, with the parts that exit in Arcadia being run by Clanggedin due to his Lg (Capitalization matters, especially in Planescape) nature.

Pretty much, actually. Since they contain a piece of the Source of Mechanus, a rogue modron effectively weakens the entire concept of order in the multiverse, as long as it's allowed to run around on its own. So when that happens, they typically get hunted down by modron hit squadrons, in order to return them to the Source so that their normally-functioning replacement can be born.

They aren't as developed in 5e, but there were these things called Inevitables that were like Mechanus secret agents; whenever someone messed with the laws of the universe real bad, an Inevitable was sent to take care of them. If a modron goes rogue, I'm guessing one of these angelic clockwork assassins would be the one to destroy it.

In my fantasy world forces of order and chaos collide a lot. So modrons are actively running around in this city and act as the law enforcing and file/document handlers. Special made Monodrones also act as an energy supply for certain constructs. Like flying airships. magic casting and barriers.

Fun Fact: the Great Modron March was invented when Orcus (called Tenebrae) became a god, killed Primus, and sent all the Modrons out on a false-quest so that they die. That's why so many of them die. Idk why they kept it a canonical thing for Primus to do, tho

I really want to run an combat encounter where you are more or less fighting mechanus itself, one pentadrone, two quadrones, four tridrones, eight duodrones, ten monodrones, at the start of every turn modrons get promoted to fill the ranks of superiors who just died, and after that process is complete one monodrone is added if there are less than 10, for each turn the current pentadrone has remained undestroyed the modrons per turn increases by 1, one might add lair actions like the sphinx's time shifting and enviormental effects players and modrons can abuse, even treat the evershifting gears of mechanus using the rules for complex traps and throw in planar portals to hell that summon legion devils, an Good old complex encounter for high level players, perhaps too complex but eh

You forgot the best detail, one of the final bosses from out of the abyss managed to kill Primus. Long short of it is that turns out that Primus is a modern and the current Primus is the 2nd one.

You forgot one thing about Mechanus. Daddy Orcus came to slap Primus one day, said a bad word (used Last Word on him) and killed him to replace him for a few weeks. And thats why we have so many malfunctioning Modrons, since they saw Daddy Orcus and were like "I wanna be as fat and buff as him!"

@Sightless_Seeker I was reminded of a plot device from the newest Dragon Quest game. Those guys were annoying as all hell to find, and I was not a fan of their lame puns and method of speaking. But I have to give the translation team credit for making so many puns. They must have had a lot of dads on call, because that is the only way I can imagine that they got so many corny jokes and the like.

As a consolation, I have been thusfar unable to locate the artist for the image I'm talking about either. It's printed in the DMG, and few of the individual pieces are tagged with their artist in 5E. Theory floating around Reddit suggested Katie Rice, but she isn't credited in the DMG. Anyone else have better luck?
