I'm not sure how I feel about the name "Transformers Universe" - it feels pretty similar to calling the "[[Federation universe]]" the "Star Trek Universe" - I'm aware the species are called Transformers, but I feel "Transformers' universe", without the capitalised "Universe" would be better. As noted in the tag, we could also go for "Primax 984.20 Gamma", which is apparently the name used in the franchise itself - I don't think we should do Marvel's name for it.

:While I agree that Universe shouldn't be capitalized I don't think the Primax naming should be used here, simply because the term was only coined after ''The Incomplete Death's Head'' and wasn't used in anything covered on this wiki; though I will admit the generic nature of 'Transformers Universe' or 'Robot Universe' is undesirable. In fact Transformers Universe is so generic that Hasbro's used it for nearly a dozen different products and toylines. Though I remember there being something about pages related to crossovers being able to use Character's full name even if it wasn't mentioned in full in the crossover in question and maybe that should apply to this universe as well? Either way I'd definitely say that at the very least the Primax name would probably be preferable to it's Marvel Earth Number, since while Earth-120185 does originate from the company that wrote that story and may predate the Primax name it is much less frequently used and does not come from Transformers itself.
