Shifter

Shifters are a Cybertronian sub-species from the Aligned continuity family.

"We could be infested with these things, so we gotta keep an eye out for any zany, wacky characters that pop up."

While almost every Cybertronian is capable of 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 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.

Known Shifters include:

• Amalgamous Prime
• Makeshift
• The Mutacons
• Pseudo

Fiction

"Thanks, Mr. Poopybutthole. I always could count on you."

Transformers: The Covenant of Primus Transformers: Exiles Con Job Ghosts and Imposters

Notes

• Nexus Prime is described as being like a Shifter at the end of Transformers: Exiles, but since they were earlier described as the descendants of Amalgamous Prime, this may be more comparative than literal.
