Council of Ancients
The Council of Ancients are ancient Cybertronians in the Dreamwave portion of Generation 1 continuity.
The Council of Ancients are keepers of Cybertron's many secrets. They care for the Matrix while the next Matrix-bearer is chosen, and are rumored to quietly pull the strings of the Autobot government.
Dreamwave Continuity
The council feuded with Alpha Trion, who wished to speak openly about the secrets the Council clothed in dogma and myths.
8.2 million years BG1
When Megatron test-fired the engines below Iacon, Council members Gravitas, Kudon and Vraz were killed, and the apprentice members were forced into exile.
6 million years BG1
Apprentice members Eronus, Neo and Templar come out of hiding to form a new Council of Ancients to coincide with the signing of the peace treaty at Tyger Pax. Autobot newscaster Slamdance covered the treaty-signing by remote link from the new Council Chamber, and was a witness when Starscream broke in and executed the entire Council of Ancients.
With no other surviving members, the Council of Ancients was apparently never reformed.
