The Council of Ancients are keepers of Cybertron's many secrets. They care for the Matrix while the next Matrix-bearer is chosen, and are rumored to quietly pull the strings of the Autobot government. 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.
