The '''Council of Ancients''' are keepers of Cybertron's many secrets. They care for the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]] while the next Matrix-bearer is chosen, and are rumored to quietly pull the strings of the [[Autobot]] government. [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron]] has alleged that one of the factors that led to the [[Decepticon]] uprising was his discovery that the Ancients were pawns of the [[Quintessons]].<br />
<br />
==Dreamwave comics continuity==<br />
The council feuded with [[Alpha Trion (G1)|Alpha Trion]], who wished to speak openly about the secrets the Council clothed in dogma and myths.<br />
<br />
'''8.2 million years BG1'''&lt;br /&gt;<br />
After the death of [[Sentinel Prime (G1)|Sentinel Prime]], the Council of Ancients selected Optronix to become the new [[Prime (rank)|Autobot leader]], and named him [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]]. When [[Starscream (G1)|Starscream]] activated the mechaforming process on [[Iacon]], [[Gravitas]], Kurdon, and Vraz were killed, and the apprentice members were forced into exile.<br />
<br />
'''6 million years BG1'''&lt;br /&gt;<br />
Apprentice members Eronus, Neo and Templar come out of hiding to form a new Council of Ancients to coincide with the signing of the peace treaty at Tyger Pax. Autobot newscaster [[Slamdance]] covered the treaty-signing by remote link from the new Council Chamber, and was a witness when Starscream broke in and executed the entire Council of Ancients.<br />
<br />
<br />
''With no other surviving members, the Council of Ancients was apparently never reformed.''<br />
<br />

* On the back wall of the chamber itself, in slightly jumbled letters you can see "Till All Are One".<br />
