Fiction

2005 IDW continuity

The Functionist Universe

In an alternate timeline and at a Functionist Council meeting at The Cog, Six-of-Twelve reported that he had consulted with the theoconomists over the next mass recall from the Grand Cybertronian Taxonomy, that of the data slugs. A strict reading suggested that they still had functional value, but their ability to store large amounts of data threatened the Council's ability to rule and so One-of-Twelve ordered their obsolescence chips to be detonated.

Notes

• The name is presumably a portmanteau of the words "theologian" and "economist".
