_{This character has no official visual representation in any Transformers product or media... yet, at least.}

The Grand Architect is a mysterious Cybertronian with a shadowy goal. He appears to be somehow connected to the Knights of Cybertron, and is engaged in various endeavours towards his goal. In short, it would appear he has plans. He also has a penchant for Worldsweepers despite their slow speed and tendency to crash.

At a bar however, Lug disproved that theory leading Wipe-Out to realize that the Grand Architect himself was hunting them down. Glimpsing a Worldsweeper above the bar, the three opted to flee before "Techy" teleported down a contingent of troops into the bar and barring their escape. An Axe to Break the Ice
