- The Venerable Ones are religious figures from the Marvel Generation 2 portion portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
"Nehhh! He-Man!"
The Venerable Ones are a group of minimally three cloaked Transformers that fulfill some religious duty in Cybertronian society. They're the kind of company that will utilize a lot of vague phrases to say they aren't going to be of the level of use you might have hoped them to be. And there's invariably one of them lurking around in the background looking suspiciously evil. What's up with that?
Fiction
Marvel Generation 2 comic
The Venerable Ones lived in a subterranean level of Cybertron.
While Optimus Prime went to them in order to gain access to the Creation Matrix and decipher his prophetic nightmares, it seems he never did this before and neither had anyone else: their way of accessing the Matrix had never been tested before. They set him up for an out-of-body experience, mumbled some ominous stuff that probably meant they already knew what was going on right before they triggered the ride, and when he came back said more ominous stuff that probably meant they'd known all along. (There's a reason why nobody had sought them out for this before.)
Despite their occultist trappings, the Venerable Ones were using SCIENCE! to cause visions: the natural harmonics of the underground infrastructure's geometry would create a resonance in the Matrix, acting as a psychic amplifier. Optimus assures us that the science "sounds reasonable enough". The Power and the Glory
Notes
- "Venerable One" is what Optimus calls one of them. That could be their real name, it could not.
