Swarm (WFC)

The name or term "Swarm" refers to more than one character or idea. For a list of other meanings, see Swarm (disambiguation).

Swarms are a Cybertronian pest from the War for Cybertron portion of the Prime continuity family.

Swarms are small organic critters with a taste for Transformer flesh. It's unfortunate, then, that they've chosen to make Cybertron their home, building their hives everywhere, even deep within the fortresses of Iacon and Kaon. Though they're more pest than anything, they can be deadly if there are enough of them.

Fiction

War for Cybertron

Swarms were common during the Great War. As Megatron, Ramjet and a third Decepticon made their way through Iacon, the red shirt ran ahead and was picked off by a hungry swarm. The creatures would continue to plague the Decepticons as they carried out their evil plans. The Autobots also had problems with the pests — Optimus Prime, Jetfire lost a fellow Autobot to a swarm under similar conditions to the Decepticons' earlier encounter. Transformers: War for Cybertron
