The Quill is said to be an artifact of the Thirteen original Transformers and one of the most powerful items in creation. Though it appears no more than a simple writing stylus scaled to Transformer hands, it has the power to change the future of the Universe itself. When used together with the Covenant of Primus, the Quill has a limited ability to literally write new events into the future. This is not a power to be used lightly, and the future is a strange and mutable thing, so the changes written by the Quill do not always last. Still, it is an object of immense potency that must be guarded carefully, something Alpha Trion sees to by keeping it secret even from his closest allies.
