:''Guardian robots are a type of Transformer in the [[Generation 1]] [[continuity family]].''

Originating as the [[Quintesson]]s' [[Dark Guardian robot]]s, the '''Guardian robots''' of the [[Golden Age]] of [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] were powerful giant blue robots that kept the peace. They gave the Decepticons much trouble during the early days of the war but were eventually overcome.

Only one, [[Omega Supreme (G1)|Omega Supreme]], the Guardian robot of the [[Crystal City]], was ever named, had a distinct color scheme, and was shown to be sentient or able to transform, but it was not revealed if he was indeed unique amongst them in those regards.

At the end of Cybertron's Golden Age, the Guardian robots fought against the newly assembled [[Decepticon]] army extensively and destroyed quite a few drone warriors. They gave [[Skywarp]] the creeps with [[Thundercracker (G1)|Thundercracker]] stating that they gave them a "pounding" in the old days. Shortly before [[Megatron (G1)|Megatron's]] first confrontation with the newly activated [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Optimus Prime]], a Guardian's head was destroyed by Decepticon laser fire, deactivating it.

Millions of years later, after escaping an [[Autobot]] attack on their time machine facility, the [[Decepticon]]s found the remains of the damaged Guardian robot. [[Shockwave (G1)|Shockwave]] managed to reassemble the giant, though he noted that the lack of a head would limit its maneuverability, to which Megatron commented that "A warrior doesn't need a head, just a good strong body." This Guardian was unleashed upon Optimus Prime and the Autobots until the [[Aerialbot]]s arrived from the past and merged into [[Superion]]. The sheer strength of the Guardian overwhelmed Superion at first, but he retaliated to such an extent that the Guardian was thrown into the air before crashing back into the ground where its body was destroyed. {{storylink|War Dawn}}

While creating a time window to the past, to stop the Transformer revolt, the Quintessons were discovered by a band of Autobots. Blaster, Blurr, Perceptor, Ramhorn, Rewind and Wreck-Gar attacked the Quintessons forcing them to withdraw leaving the portal open. When Quintesson reinforcements emerged the Autobots - Blaster, Blurr, Ramhorn, Rewind and Wreck-Gar escaped through the window, while Perceptor was left behind. While they went in, an ancient Autobot calling himself A-3 came to the present. The group of Autobots were promptly attacked by Guardian Robots only to be saved by a female autobot warrior named Beta 1. She was a leader of a rebel army set to attack their oppressors, the Quintessons. There were two problems: the Autobots were not warriors but engineers scientists and a primary leader A-3 had disappeared. As the time travelling Autobots aided the Autobot rebels, A-3 returned just in time to use his coda remote device that promptly deactivated the Guardian robots allowing the present day Autobots to go through the time window to their home. {{storylink|Forever is a Long Time Coming}}

===Dreamwave comics continuity===
Known as '''Omega Sentinels''', these massive mechanoids were seen guarding various strategically vital locations in [[Iacon]]. During the Decepticon attack on Iacon, they were among the first ''and'' last lines of defense standing between the Decepticons and the [[Decagon]]. Shockwave managed to kill two Omega Sentinels during the battle.

With one shot. {{storylink|The War Within}}

==Trivia==
* Although no toy of the Guardian Robots was ever made, they are clearly a slightly more [[Floro Dery|Dery]]-ized, chubbier version of Omega Supreme.
