Zamojin (species)
- Zamojin are a race of aliens from the The Transformers portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.
As with everything on their world, Zamojin are extremely dense, making them strong enough to damage Transformer armor-plating. They also possess a great telepathic ability, giving them advanced knowledge. Although possessing an apparently rudimentary society, they had enough knowledge to build starlight-powered technology and begin to take the first steps into space — a fact which was enough to make the Quintessons feel threatened by them.
The Zamojin are ruled over by an Empress. Their telepathic power is harnessed and amplified by the guardian Kodu Ri, which stands in their capital city of Tozin.
Fiction
Generation 1 cartoon
On the Night of the Devils, the Zamojin scientist Niko Don prepared to launch his "flying tower", a rocket ship to be piloted by Nijika, a small robot he had also created. The ceremony was interrupted by the arrival of the Quintessons, who disabled Kodu Ri, and sealed the whole star system in a quadrant lock. Without the power of their guardian and the light of the stars, the use of their mental abilities was lost to the Zamojin, and they were left in a state of primitive stagnation.
Some five thousand years later, the Quadrant Lock was breached by a group of Autobots including the scientist Perceptor, who was suffering a form of transformation paralysis. Katsu Don, the descendant of Niko Don, used Perceptor's universal emulator to repair Nijika, resulting in the Autobot's consciousness being placed in the robot.
Meanwhile, a group of Zamojin had found Blurr and, assuming he was associated with the Quintesson "devils", took him back to Tozin where the people gathered and threatened to execute the Autobot, egged on by Cyclonus and a Quintesson who blended into the crowd somehow. After Perceptor threatened to expose the Quintesson duplicity, the Quintessons took the universal emulator and fled, only to have the modified emulator destroy the quadrant lock, freeing the world from its black prison.
With the return of starlight to the sky over Tozin, the Zamojin telepathic ability returned, and they were able to repair Kodu Ri and begin restoring the rest of their technology. The Face of the Nijika
