TheThree Wise Ones( tam người tàiSan Kenjin) are a mysterious trio of animals that crashed ontoplanet Beasta long time ago.[1]Then, Beast was barren, hostile, and lifeless and so the Three Wise Ones retreated underground. There, they created the powerfulHead Hunterweapons to create an underground empire and populated the empire with the newly createdLaser Beastrace. TheBeastformers,an offshoot of the Laser Beasts, recognize the Three Wise Ones as gods.

Each of the Three Wise Ones represent the elements that the Beastformers and Laser Beasts possess. TheWise One of Water( thủy の người tàiMizu no Kenjin) is a fish, theWise One of Fire( hỏa の người tàiHi no Kenjin) is a lion, and theWise One of Wood( mộc の người tàiKi no Kenjin) is a rhinoceros beetle. Alternatively, they are known as Deities ( thầnKami) of their respective elements.

The Three Wise Ones' power is crystallized in six gemstones: two Water Gems, two Fire Gems, and two Wood Gems, each pair made up of one Gem of Stillness and one Gem of Motion. The Gems of Stillness can hamper rainfall, heat and plant growth, respectively, while the Gems of Motion accelerate them.

Somehow surviving into the next universe, the Three Wise Ones crash-landed on Beast and quickly discovered that they could not survive due to the planet's incredible temperature. Immediately, they located a cave in which they could survive and chose to live underground. Using their incredible knowledge, they created three machines capable of unfathomable destruction, which they dubbed "Head Hunters".They used the Hunters as terraforming machines to build a vast subterranean empire, but, fearing the destructive power of the Hunters, had all three units separated and hidden across the globe. Later, they developed a new kind of lifeform that would protect the planet once they were gone, the Laser Beast,Legend of the Three Wise OnesLaser Beasts catalogby merging machines with regular animals.

The Micronus Prime Master wasrepurposedas the Wise One of Fire inLegends"The Road to Legends' Revival Chapter 3."
Power of the PrimesMicronus is aTitan Master-sized mold that transforms from a small robot modeled afterCloudburst's inner robot mode into aPrime Masterthat can store inside a decoy armor that modeled after Cloudburst'sPretendershell, or plug into any Prime Master shell's weapon form, or replace aPower of the PrimesLeader'sMatrixcore. They could also ride Legends Class figures, and can attach to Deluxe Class figures' chest armor, Voyager Class figures' bucklers, or Voyager Class figures' combined mode.
A retool of Micronus's decoy armor, presumably intended forWaverider,would have been used to makeLegendsGrand Maximus's Pretender Suit if the figure had reached the 3000 preorder count. Sadly the preorders didn't reach that level.
In an unusual error, some units of Micronus / Cloudburst came with two Prime Masters.[2]
Unlike every other Titan Master / Prime Master, he and his fellow first wave Prime Masters feature backpacks/symbols secured by pins instead of screws.

Notes

  • There is a bit of discrepancy in the visual depictions of the Three Wise Ones... within the same source material. The first image of them inHero Special 12is the elaborate line-art shown at the top of this article. These designs were obviously a bit much for the people making the photo comics, thus the much simpler and vaguer modded toys shown in those: a kind-of fox-thing, a kind-of badger-thing, and a hooded being that's impossible to tell what critter it's supposed to be, all draped in body-obscuring robes. This visual clash would later be retconned away in theLegendsmanga, depicting the robed "toy" designs as their original bodies, and the art designs being their ascended, god-like forms.
