Ancient

Anyone got any threes?

The Ancients is the term used on the Transformer colony worlds of Velocitron, Jungle Planet and Gigantion to refer to the Transformers who sent their ancestors' colony ships out into space. Warp

Notes

• In Galaxy Force, the Japanese version of the Cybertron cartoon, Vector Prime is identified as an Ancient. However, in western fiction, as a member of the original thirteen Transformers, he pre-dates the Transformers who masterminded the colonization program by several million, if not billion, years. Consequently, the waters are a little muddied when it comes to Logos Prime, who is identified by the Japanese Beast Wars Returns prose story as being an "Ancient", but is presented as having incredible powers on an equal level with Vector Prime's, strongly suggesting that he is also one of the thirteen, rather than simply a colonist.
