The Disappeared are a collection of Transformers that—as their name implies—disappeared from the 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 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. Nightbeat then took Chromedome and 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. The Not Knowing

Censere took Nightbeat's words seriously, and upon discovering a time case left by 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 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 pods containing the "organics" opened to reveal the likes of Roller, Wavelength, Syphon, and Terminus. After reading Cenere's journal, Rewind explained to Rodimus that thanks to the D.J.D. around half of the names on the Memorial of the Disappeared would remain unaccounted for. Do Not Go Gentle

Otherwise accounted for

As yet unaccounted for

Notes

  • The Festival of Lost Light included a Hymn to the Disappeared. 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 "Anomie" it begins with "SCRAMBL...". Presumably there's a Scramblin' Eimlet out there somewhere?
  • Another name begins "RUSTHEA..." which could be Rustheap, Rusthead or maybe Rustheat.
  • 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.
