| The name or term "Mutant" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Mutant (disambiguation). |
- The Mutants are a group of neutral Cybertronians from the Generation 1 continuity family.
The Mutants rule the Underworld, some of Cybertron's lowest levels. They are enemies of the Cybertronians living on the surface, and if any of them is either brave or stupid enough to enter their domain, the Mutants have zero inhibition to entertain themselves with murder. It is unknown why they are this hostile towards outsiders, as is it unknown just what manner of "mutant" the Mutants are. Their bodies are certainly unconventional and they do not appear to be able to transform, but how they got this way remains untold. While sociable to one another, Mutants prefer to stick to small groups or travel solo. Mutants also aren't among the brightest of minds Cybertron has produced, which is one of their main weaknesses gratefully exploited by the Mini-Cons, whose task it is to cleanse Cybertron from their menace.
Known mutants include:
Fiction
Marvel UK comics
Classics
The group of Mutants consisting of Guttersnipe, Sawtooth and Meathook stumbled upon a lone Mini-Con, Broadside, far beneath the surface of Cybertron. Naturally, they immediately made plans to kill and eat him. Taunting him when he annoyingly refused to show any reaction, Sawtooth eventually ran out of patience and prepared to devour Broadside. Instead, the Mini-Con finally did react and aimed its back-cannon into the Mutant's mouth, blowing up his head. Guttersnipe and Meathook moved to avenge their companion, but found themselves under attack by two other Mini-Cons, respectively Overbite and Snarl. Guttersnipe was killed by Overbite, but Meathook held his own against Snarl until Dreadwing came to his aid and finished off the last of Mutant trio.
As the Mini-Cons gloated over their victory and pondered how to proceed their hunt, they were approached by their Dinobot colleagues, with whom they had a bet running on which team would perform best during the day's underground cleanup. As it turned out, both teams had taken out three mutants, but then Dreadwing noticed another Mutant from afar and took it out swiftly, winning the bet for his team. The two teams thus left to celebrate at Maccadam's Old Oil House, where more Mini-Cons had gathered to brag about how well they did against the Mutants.
Later, when Dinobot leader Hacksaw and Broadside confronted each other about the future of Cybertron and the Mini-Cons, Broadside brought up his view on the Mini-Cons' quest to destroy Mutants. In his opinion, they weren't doing anything good or noble; they were committing genocide on their fellow 'Children of Primus' on behalf of their creator, who in Broadside's belief couldn't care less about either of the two groups.

Notes
- Simon Furman has stated that they're byproducts of biomorphic reproduction.[1]
- Classics follows up the US Generation 1 Marvel continuity and generally ignores the additional material provided by the UK comics and Generation 2. The Mutants are one of the few elements originating from the UK comics that are included in Classics.
