	The Shifters were the descendants of Amalgamous Prime and possessed the talent to transform into others of their kind who were of similar build to them. Following the [[Cosmic Rust (disease)\|Rust Plague]] and the end of the [[Golden Age]], a group of refugees fleeing the destruction of [[Neutronia]] discovered Amalgamous's [[transformation cog]] in orbit of a [[black hole]]. The legendary artifact was brought aboard their ship with its energies mutating the colonists into the [[Mutacon]]s, granting them virtually unlimited shifting and [[Combiner\|combination]] potential. This had the side-effect of causing them to slowly merge into a single amorphous blob being. To avoid this fate, they began seeking out Amalgamous Prime.

	While almost every [[Transformer\|Cybertronian]] is capable of [[transformation\|changing shape]] to some degree, '''Shifters''' take this to a whole new level. Supposed descendants of the trickster of the [[Thirteen]] [[Amalgamous Prime]], Shifters are chameleonoid even by their race's standards. They have the ability to [[alternate mode\|take any form]] ~~comparative~~ to their normal size and mass—extending even to other Cybertronians. Thus, their rare talent makes them highly prized spies and scouts by others.
