Primus - new or old character?

[Fetus Rex]

Who do you do think this fucker is? Some Maldraxxus speciality spawned aeons ago when skeletons were still young and sucking on their milky bone fingers? Or is he one of the characters we know, like for an example Ner'zhul?

[TrioMax]

I think he is the Rumesmith prisoned in torghast.
Primus:

Runesmith

He is the creator of Helm of Domination and Frostmourne and he will be forging legendaries in Torghast for players.

Is Blizzard 'borrowing' characters and basing lore on Transformers now?

Primus is the creator god of the Transformers, and resides at the core of Cybertron.

Before the dawn of time, Order and Chaos existed within an extradimensional entity known as The One. To explore the fledgling universe, he created the astral being known as Unicron, and then subdivided him, creating his twin, Primus. Both brothers were multiversal singularities, unique in all realities, but whereas Unicron could only exist in one dimension at a time, moving between them at will, Primus existed simultaneously in all realities at once. It is suggested, in fact, that the two brothers embody the basic concepts of reality—good and evil, order and chaos—and that their continued existence is necessary for the stability of the multiverse.

Order v Chaos = Light v Shadow
Unicron = Sargeras
Primus = Azeroth
The One = Elune

What, how? "Primus" just means "the First".

I literally cannot wait to be handed the matrix of leadership to banging 80's hair metal immediately before we beat slyvanas with the power of friendship.

Maybe he was the first in all of existence to fall in battle, isn't that kinda the Maldraxxus theme, hardcore warriors who fall in battle and become warlords of Maldraxxus in death?

[Aucald]

Unrelated to the Primus (who I agree is likely the Runesmith we find in Torghast), I really want to see the Aldrachi represented in Maldraxxus. Based on their history unveiled in Legion I think Maldraxxus fits them to a "T."
