Novels
In the series of novels by Jack McKinney, the Elders are mentioned in more detail. Rather than clones, they were members of the original Tirolian race, and scientific contemporaries of the original Zor.
Their incredibly advanced technology led to the creation of two entire races of clones: the Zentraedi, and the Robotech Masters. Eventually, their desire for power and immortality led to the near genocide of their entire race by the Invid.
