'''The Disappeared''' are a collection of [[Transformer]]s that—as their name implies—disappeared from the [[Great War (G1)|war]] at various points throughout its history.

==Fiction==
===IDW Generation 1 continuity===
Having become obsessed with chronicling the death of every single Cybertronian following the loss of his friend [[Tusk]], the former forensic pathologist [[Censere]] erected a Memorial to the Disappeared on the [[Necroworld]] alongside statues of the Transformers whose fates he was able to record. When the crew of the ''[[Lost Light]]'' investigated the rumours of the "Necrobot", [[Nightbeat (G1)|Nightbeat]] met with Censere and discovered that he was listed amongst the Disappeared thanks to having been pulled into the [[Dead Universe]] after his death at the hands of [[Hardhead (G1)|Hardhead]]. Nightbeat then took [[Chromedome (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Chromedome]] and [[Rewind (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Rewind]] to the Memorial to show them that [[Dominus Ambus]] was also named there. Afterwards, Nightbeat took Censere to task over his obsession and suggested that he try to look after the living instead of recording the dead. {{storylink|The Not Knowing}}

Censere took Nightbeat's words seriously, and upon discovering a [[time case]] left by [[Megatron (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Megatron]] near his own statue, connected it to his teleport chamber and attempted to rescue all of the Disappeared. The [[time travel]] often left them weak and disoriented so Censere kept them in stasis, disguised as organic life to hide them from unwanted attention. Unfortunately his actions did not go unnoticed and the [[Decepticon Justice Division]] arrived, presumably looking for some of the missing 'bots from [[The List|their own list]]. They set a trap for Megatron and the crew of the ''Lost Light'' and killed Censere when he tried to interfere.

Later, under siege from the D.J.D. in Censere's fortress, [[Team Rodimus]] was greatly surprised when the [[stasis pod]]s containing the "organics" opened to reveal the likes of [[Roller (IDW)|Roller]], [[Wavelength (G1)|Wavelength]], [[Syphon]], and [[Terminus (G1)|Terminus]]. After reading Censere's journal, Rewind explained to [[Hot Rod (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Rodimus]] that thanks to the D.J.D. around half of the names on the Memorial of the Disappeared would remain unaccounted for. {{storylink|The Dying of the Light Part 6: Do Not Go Gentle|Do Not Go Gentle}}

When more of the Disappeared began to wake up, [[Ultra Magnus (G1)/IDW Generation 1 continuity|Ultra Magnus]] held a 819 slide presentation to brief them on when and where they were as well as recent events. {{storylink|Dissolution Part 1: Some Other Cybertron|Some Other Cybertron}}

After [[Team Rodimus]] had left [[Necroworld]], {{storylink|After Megatron (A Dissolution Epilogue)|After Megatron}} the Decepticon members of the Disappeared murdered their Autobot counterparts and took over the planet. They were then killed by the [[Moonbase One|Luna 1]] Autobots. {{storylink|Sardines}}

==Notes==
*The [[Festival of Lost Light]] included a '''Hymn for the Disappeared'''. [[James Roberts|Foreshadowing]]!
*The first time we see the Memorial in "The Not Knowing", the name above that of Dominus Ambus ends with "...MLET", when we see it again in "Do Not Go Gentle" there's what appears to read "...N EIM..." and in "[[Dissolution Part 2: Anomie|Anomie]]" it begins with "SCRAMBL...". Presumably there's a Scramblin' Eimlet out there somewhere?
*In "Anomie", one of the names on the Memorial is 'Shock of Polyhex', though the [[Shock (G1)|Shock]] we are familiar with signed his name as 'Shock of [[Bitrex]]' in "[[No Guns, No Swords, No Briefcases]]" and he was killed by a [[Sparkeater (creature)|Sparkeater]] rather than mysteriously disappearing, as his fellow [[Duobot]] [[Ore]] did in "[[Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations|You, Me, and Other Revelations]]". This could mean that we're either dealing with a different Shock, or that not even the Necrobot can tell Shock and Ore apart.
*Interestingly, none of the Disappeared whose names are visible in "Anomie" are [[M.T.O.]]s, as they are all named after city-states rather than military operations.
