Fiction

2005 IDW continuity

The Functionist Universe

In an alternate timeline, Five-of-Twelve attended a meeting of the Council at the Cog where Ten-of-Twelve reported back on the success of converting the Primal Vanguard into total surveillance agents by replacing their eyes with cameras, while Six-of-Twelve reported that he had consulted with their theoconomists over the next mass recall from the Grand Cybertronian Taxonomy, that of the data slugs. A strict reading suggested that they still had functional value, but their ability to store large amounts of data threatened the Council's ability to rule and so One-of-Twelve ordered their obsolescence chips to be detonated. The Custom-Made Now

When it was discovered that Rung possessed the ability to produce photonic crystals, the Council had a meeting where Six-of-Twelve decided realized that Rung was Primus endorsing cold construction. The Council opted to use Rung to produce a new Cybertronian army to conquer the galaxy and travelled to Vector Sigma to acquire the sparks they needed. Before they could begin collecting sparks however, Rung was rescued by Team Rodimus. Before teleporting out, Rung mocked that the Key to Vector Sigma, the collective alternate mode of the Functionist Council, was useless calling them all the "Useless Ones". Modes of Production
