The '''Legislators''' are the private shock troops of Chief Justice [[Tyrest (G1)|Tyrest]]. Sparkless drones, they are constructed with a single imperative: countermand any infractions of the [[Tyrest Accord]]. They do this without hesitation, without thinking and without remorse, taking whatever measures their programming deems sufficient for the enforcement of Tyrest's wishes... all the while reciting the section and sub-section of the law that has been violated.

==Fiction==
===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
At some point around the time of his religious "awakening", Tyrest constructed the Legislators as a remorseless, unthinking army programmed to enforce the Tyrest Accord. They captured [[Skids (G1)|Skids]] and [[Getaway]] following their failed attempt to neutralize the Chief Justice. Skids managed to escape them, fleeing aboard a shuttlecraft made from three [[Mode lock|mode-locked]] Legislators. {{storylink|Remain in Light 4 of 5: Arm the Lonely|Arm the Lonely}}

The Legislators later attacked [[Theophany]], destroying the city and capturing the surviving members of the [[Circle of Light]]. Tyrest would go on to murder 90% of these captives and use their remains as raw material for the creation of more Legislators. {{storylink|Remain in Light 3 of 5: The Divided Self|The Divided Self}}

Skids awoke, amnesiac, still piloting the shuttlecraft. As the shuttle began to transform, Skids—trusting his instincts—reset the mode locks, pointed the shuttle at the planet's surface, and bailed out.

The explosive crash of the shuttle destroyed one of its three component bots. The two remainders transformed into their massive robot forms and, toting swords and repeating the phrase "Nineteen eighty-four", advanced relentlessly to attack Skids. The wayward theoretician magnetized the corpse of [[Polaris]] and attached it to one of the Legislators, then blew up the body's fuel supply, taking out the giant. When the other kept coming, Skids took it out with an array of built-in weaponry and pit-fighter-worthy moves. {{storylink|Liars, A to D Part 2: Hangers On|Hangers On}}

[[Tailgate (G1)|Tailgate]], who witnessed the battle, would be reminded of the Legislators while learning about an obsolete sub-section of the [[Autobot Code]]: specifically, paragraph 19 (80) 4 dealt with thought warfare, a threat that never materialized... at least as far as [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ultra Magnus]] knew. {{storylink|How Ratchet Got His Hands Back}}

Upon reaching the fabled [[Crystal City]] of the [[Circle of Light]], the crew of the Lost Light found it had been utterly razed. While tapping into the [[brain module]] of the [[Metrotitan (body-type)|Metrotitan]] beneath the ruins, [[Chromedome (G1)|Chromedome]] saw from its memories that the Legislators had abducted the entire populace. {{storylink|Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations|You, Me, and Other Revelations}}

An army of Legislators would later attack the Lost Light upon its discovery of [[Moonbase One|Luna 1]], under the direction of [[Tyrest (G1)|Chief Justice Tyrest]]. The crew was overwhelmed by the sudden assault, despite their best efforts. {{storylink|Remain in Light 2 of 5: House of Ambus|House of Ambus}}

The Legislators acted as guards throughout Tyrest's base. Two brought [[First Aid (G1)|First Aid]] and [[Ambulon (G1)|Ambulon]] down from the Lost Light at Pharma's request. After Cyclonus and Whirl freed the Circle, they found themselves confronted by a vast army of the drones. At the same time, as part of Tyrest's new Pre-Emptive Execution clause, a Legislator crushed the head of Minimus Ambus. {{storylink|Remain in Light 3 of 5: The Divided Self|The Divided Self}}

The Circle of Light engaged the Legislators in a fierce battle,{{storylink|Remain in Light 4 of 5: Arm the Lonely|Arm the Lonely}} but victory only came when the drones suddenly retreated, ''en masse'', to defend Tyrest. They were only stopped when Tailgate used Tyrest's own Repository to rewrite Section 500 of the Tyrest Accord, repealing the law. Without anything left to enforce, the drones all ceased action. {{storylink|Remain in Light 5 of 5: This Calamitous Life|This Calamitous Life}}

Roughly six months later, [[Cyclonus]] and a fully recovered Tailgate encountered a Legislator who was standing guard at Swerve's bar. Swerve explained that he had repaired the damaged drone following the Lost Light's departure from Luna 1, reprogramming it it to act as a doorman. Nicknamed "[[Ten]]" (after the only word it was able to say), the Legislator was shown to have an amicable yet strict nature, welcoming patrons into the bar with friendly gestures while denying Cyclonus entry until he had relinquished his Great Sword (as per Swerve's "no guns, no swords, no briefcases" policy). {{storylink|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 2: Words Hang in the Air|World, Shut Your Mouth Part 2: Words Hang in the Air}}
