Talk:Demon

Oldest species in the universe?

Okay, bear with me;

1. The demons predate the Cybertronian race, and were apparently sealed away by Primus when he took posession of the planet. Dawn of Darkness
2. Primus had re-shaped Cybertron into a living starship that charted galaxies back when the original 13 were around. He was spreading himself on planets before he even came into conflict with Unicron-- this is seriously "still amid the aftershocks of the big bang" long ago.

So if the Demons predate THAT, it means that either;

1. They are one of the first life-forms to evolve in the universe.
2. They're from the the PREVIOUS universe, the one Unicron ate, and only bits and pieces of which survived. (They, presumably, being one of the 'bits.)

The demons first appearance was 12 months before Furman revealed that Unicron ate the previous universe. They were clearly part of his 'worldview' when he first wrote about the Void. Given the demon's tainted "anti-life"/life-sucking nature... I think they make a lot of sense as survivors of a Universe where Unicron had consumed everything that lived.

Which, all told, makes the Demons the oldest species in the universe.  :) -Derik 05:57, 21 March 2009 (EDT)

Or "C", Primus created the Demons himself, as Furman leans towards in this interview (which is a valid interpretation of the demons' self-told story from issue #76, as well). --Monzo 06:54, 21 March 2009 (EDT)

Yes, but that is just because Furman thinks only Grimlock is badass enough to survive the end of the universe. -Derik 07:35, 21 March 2009 (EDT)

Classics note

"The Classics stories take place in a post-Marvel Generation 1 comics universe where the UK Marvel comics and the Generation 2 mini-series did not happen. The Demons are one of the few elements from these series that were featured in Classics anyway."

The Demons appeared in the US G1 comic too, so... why is this notable? -- Repowers 00:11, 22 March 2012 (EDT)
