Ancient

Anyone got any threes?

The Ancients were the Transformers who sent colony ships out into space to the worlds of Velocitron, Jungle Planet and Gigantion. Warp They look a liiiiitle familiar. Balance

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 thirteen original 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 Reborn prose story as being an "Ancient", but is further identified as "one of [Vector Prime's] own" and presented as having incredible powers on an equal level with Vector Prime's, strongly suggesting that he is supposed to be one of the thirteen, rather than simply a colonist.
