Nova Prime-Liege Maximo

For those of you that have already read Spotlight Optimus Prime. You may already have given this some thought but when Omega says that Jhiaxus was Nova Primes chief Theoretical Strategist the thought occurred to me that Nova may be the Liege Maximo or have some connection to him. Optimus mentioned that his presence gave him a sense of dread kinda like Megs or Thunderwing. What do you guys think?

I think, Nova will be more like the Prime of the Dead Universe... an undead Prime. Nemesis Prime, if you will...

Jhiaxus, well, he just might have been transformed into Galvatron... but I do hope we see him as a separate character.

Does the whole Nova Prime thing work? Does Optimus Prime not need to have had the matrix passed onto him to be a Prime?

This may not be the case in IDW world..infact I cant recall the matrix ever being mentioned, but just seems odd. I get confused by all of these continuities

The Matrix was mentioned in OP Spotlight, OP referring to Nova as "Matrix-bearer", But when in Escalation Megs cracks open Prime I don't see the Matrix anywhere. We know from TWW Vol.1. that the Matrix doesn't have to be always inside a Prime, as Sentinel put it into his chest of drawers before he went to fight Megs...

Maybe Nova didn't take it with him on his voyage with Ark-1.
