Known to its modern population as '''Demons''', Cybertron's original inhabitants were sealed away underground by [[Primus]]. Except for the occasional escape, they have remained sealed away by Primus's power ever since, known to the surface only in legends. According to those legends, the Demons are "the flipside of the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]]'s [[Transformer|good creatures]]".<br />
<br />
Demons are very large creatures (towering above [[Transformer]]s) that can absorb energy without harm, up to direct weapons fire. At least one has demonstrated the ability to breathe fire. They "feed" on Transformers by absorbing their lifeforce, eventually killing them. If a demon absorbs too much energy, it will explode.<br />

''Two of the Demons escaped from their prison following an incident between [[Tailgate (G1)|Tailgate]] and the [[Mutant (G1)|Mutants]]. Some time after killing three [[Decepticon]]s that beset the [[Autobot]] [[Seawatch]], they were destroyed by [[Emirate]] [[Xaaron]], who consulted ancient Cybertronian lore to find their weaknesses.'' {{storylink|Demons!}}<br />
<br />
After Primus's death, another group of the Demons escaped, lurking in the shadows of Cybertron's surface after the giant battle against Unicron. As observed by [[Hi-Q]], one of the Demons grabbed [[Runabout (G1)|Runabout]] by the leg, dragged him underground, and messily devoured him. {{storylink|On the Edge of Extinction!}} Hi-Q fled until he encountered the Dinobots, whose considerable power was still not enough to defeat the Demons. They were finally beaten back by [[Grimlock (G1)/Marvel Comics continuity|Grimlock]], who had just completed his metamorphosis to an [[Action Master]]. The Demons fled from his new power, repulsed by his "light". {{storylink|Still Life!}}<br />

When the [[Mini-Con]]s were created to clean up Cybertron, one of their jobs was to exterminate the Demons and [[Mutant (G1)|Mutants]]. The Demons didn't go down without a fight, however, and [[Hacksaw]] would later express relief that no more Mini-Cons had to die by their hands. {{storylink|The New World}}<br />

==Notes==<br />
* The appearance of the Demons differs wildly depending on the artist.<br />
<br />
* The Demons' origin resembles that of the [[Trans-Organic]]s in some ways. Both races were built as precursors to the Transformers, but locked away by their creators.<br />
<br />
* It is unclear in the stories if the Demons were the original inhabitants of the world Primus fashioned into Cybertron, or an attempt by Primus to create life that predated the Transformers. However, writer Simon Furman later clarified in an interview that he envisioned them as being botched creations of Primus.<br />
