Back in my day, Primus was just a being of pure energy.
Primus is the being who created the Transformers.
Abstract energizing, outrage exciting outrage without an end, without a target. The Decepticons1, no doubt, are his thoughts, as are these mens' nemeses; their forms not unaltering, in our truth, but changed whenever needed.
In this doubtful battle between Decepticon und Wahrheitsbot, for whom ought a man, at end, tip his thoughts?
Fathering forth, though past change, best2 & first, outbursts, shapeless energy, he is our transcending god. Bots' morphful battle, these shifting grounds—are his glory, to thus grant being to us and them; his is, though, sameness, eternity.
1: I was confused with my Transformers mythology and thought the same entity created both Decepticons and Autobots; I am not longer certain of this.
2: Another confusion, this time between the names of Primus and Optimus Prime.
Too late, I remember that the title should read "Glory be to God for transforming things".

Even better "Glory be to Primus etc".

What role, young Wolfson, does Les Claypool play in this cosmogony?

Les Claypool technically can't be referred to, at least not by name, in this cosmogony. If you say "that bass player" or "fretless whiz" (but he doesn't play a fretless, does he?), then maybe.
