Other Characters and Beings
| Name | Alternate mode | First appearance | Last appearance | Voiced by |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Sharkticons | Amphibious Monster | Transformers: The Movie | The Return of Optimus Prime (Part 2) | Jim Cummings, Frank Welker |
| Unintelligent Transformers who serve as the Quintessons' goon squad and executioners. They were deliberately made stupid and fitted with control chips that prevent them from turning on their masters as the Autobots and Decepticons did. | ||||
| The Quintessons | None | Transformers: The Movie | The Return of Optimus Prime (Part 2) | Jack Angel, Roger C. Carmel, Regis Cordic |
| An alien race who lived on Cybertron and used it as a huge factory to produce several kinds of lifeforms, including robots, which were sold as consumer good and military hardware. These would eventually become the Transformers. Extremely self-serving and devious. | ||||
| Unicron | planet | Transformers: The Movie | Call of the Primitives | Orson Welles, Roger C. Carmel |
| A planet-sized Transformer whose only goal is to devour planets, despite his incredible intelligence and power. Created Galvatron, Cyclonus, Scourge and the Sweeps from the bodies of Megatron, Skywarp, Thundercracker and the Insecticons. Destroyed by Rodimus Prime and the Autobot Matrix of Leadership, later partially reactivated by Scourge and Starscream's ghost. | ||||
| Tornedron | Planet | Call of the Primitives | Call of the Primitives | Neil Ross |
| Tornedron was the successor to Unicron, created by Unicron's creator Primacron. Unlike Unicron, Tornedron was an energy-based lifeform, controlled by Primacron's remote control. It consumed other energies, leaving stars dead and planets inert; its final purpose was to leave the entire universe a blank slate for Primacron to do with as he pleased. Unfortunately for Primacron, while Tornedron succeeded in draining most of the universe's energy, it also became just as rebellious as his predecessor. However, Grimlock defeated it before the creature could consume its creator; he threw it into reverse, returning all the energy it stole to its original locations and dispersing the entity. | ||||
| Nightbird | None | Enter the Nightbird | Enter the Nightbird, only appearance | No Voice |
| Nightbird is a human construct with a single form and thus not actually a Transformer herself. Created by Dr. Fujiyama, she was a non-transforming ninja robot. She was stolen by the Decepticons and reprogrammed to infiltrate the Ark and steal the World Energy Source from Teletran I. She would subsequently be defeated and returned to her creator by the Autobots, and didn't appear for the remainder of the animated series. In comics associated with the Botcon storyline, however, an army of Nightbird drones would later battle several Autobots, eventually perishing when Daniel Witwicky set off a powerful explosive that destroyed not only the drones but also himself and the Autobot Wheelie. | ||||
| Nergil | None | Atlantis, Arise! | Atlantis, Arise!, | Wally Burr |
| King Nergill rules Sub-Atlantica, a hidden kingdom of water-breathing fishmen. Their relationship to humanity proper is uncertain. Like most people Megatron makes deals with, he's devious and pretty much out for his own gain. | ||||
| Guardian robots | Rocket/tank/Rocket base | Forever Is a Long Time Coming | Flaskback in Transformers Animated, | |
| The Guardian robots were once the peacekeepers of Cybertron, powerful giants that guarded cities and quelled uprisings. The Guardians gave the Decepticons much trouble at the outbreak of the Third Cybertronian War, but by the modern era they were no longer so prevalent, The most notable surviving Guardian is Omega Supreme, who is the only one seen to have his own name, distinct color scheme, and personality; it is unknown how unique these qualities actually are. | ||||
| Dion | Cybertronian car | War Dawn | Flashback in Transformers Animated | Corey Burton |
| Dion is an earnest dock worker and best friend to Orion Pax. His is a simple life of manual labor, and he does not give a second thought to the stories that a war may be brewing around him. What does interest him are those new-fangled flying robots. Maybe someday he'll get to meet them...? | ||||
| Allicons | Crocodilian creatures | The Transformers: The Movie | The Quintesseon Journal | Aron Kincaid |
| Allicons are another breed of the Quintessons' enforcer-units, often used as guards for more important members of the race. They are slightly smarter than the Sharkticons, even capable of speech, but free will has been pretty thoroughly removed from their programming, to the point where they will malfunction if resisting a direct order,they transform into bipedal, vaguely crocodilian creatures. | ||||
| Nancy | Motorcycle | The Big Broadcast of 2006 | The Big Broadcast of 2006 | Linda Gary |
| Nancy is a Junkion who appears to be the consort of the Junkion leader, Wreck-Gar. Like all Junkions, she can be blasted to pieces without taking any noticeable permanent damage, and is capable of repairing herself within seconds. | ||||
| Chaos | Mineral monster | Chaos | Chaos | None |
| Chaos is a large alien monster, native to the planet Dread. Its skin is composed of an unbelievably destructive mineral known as death crystals. Apparently, death crystals are also the only thing that can hurt it. | ||||
| Shrikebat | Bat Monster | The Transformers: The Movie | Chaos | None |
| Shrikebats are large, purple, flying, vaguely reptilian creatures. Found on Dromedon and Dread, a group of them is referred to as a "wreck" of shrikebats, or, more commonly "aiiiiiieee get them off get them off my eyes oh dear gooaaaarrrrrghkklgkglllll". They're extremely vicious creatures. Thankfully, they don't like it when you invert polarities, which drives them off. | ||||
| Primacron | Monkey | Call of the Primitives | Call of the Primitives | Hal Rayle |
| Primacron is an absolutely ancient scientist. He's supposedly hyper-intelligent with an infinity of intricate plans nested within plans, but he sometimes over-thinks things to the point of coming off as rather dim, his major claim to fame is being responsible for building Unicron at the dawn of the galaxy. Thanks for nothing. | ||||
| Oracle | Call of the Primitives | Call of the Primitives | Gregg Berger | |
| The Oracle was once the assistant of Primacron, an ageless creature of magnificent intellect. Primacron built the Oracle to help him create life, but the Oracle's corporeal existence was cut short after the birth of Unicron. | ||||
| Lipoles | Shark monsters | Five Faces of Darkness(Part 3) | Five Faces of Darkness(Part 5) | None |
| Lipoles are flying, bat-like creatures, though they can furl their wings and walk. They live in smoldering craters on Jupiter's moon of Io. Their saliva is acidic and they eat metal. When threatened, they can transform into explosive missiles and fling themselves at predators. | ||||
| Skuxxoid | Stone monsters | Five Faces of Darkness(Part 1) | Grimlock's New Brain | None |
| Skuxxoids are an intelligent reptilian species that often sell their services to the highest bidder as mercenaries for credits. They have scaly skin and are nearly as large as the average Transformer. They tend to use large asteroid ships as their primary mode of transport. | ||||

Famous quotes containing the words characters and/or beings:
“Though they be mad and dead as nails,
Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“The high sentiments always win in the end, the leaders who offer blood, toil, tears and sweat always get more out of their followers than those who offer safety and a good time. When it comes to the pinch, human beings are heroic.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
