Fiction

IDW comics continuity

The Knights of Cybertron were once in control of the Matrix of Leadership, calling it the "Creation Matrix" after its ability to create new Cybertronian life. Chaos Theory Part 2

Before the Great War, Cybertronian society included a high class elite with the lower castes being subjugated leading to elements of discontent with these classes. In Maccadam's New Oil House, Rung was picked on by two cadets who told him to clean the mess after he spilled their drinks. Rung attempted to avoid conflict and said he was not a service droid to which the two larger Cybertronians asked, mockingly, who he was; one of the Knights of Cybertron, the last of the progenitors or Alpha Trion's long-lost Spark brother. Chaos Theory Part 1

Upon hearing that Orion Pax didn't believe the Matrix held some special power, Springarm asked him if he also thought stuff like the Primal Prophecies or the Underbase were made up by the Knights of Cybertron. Orion responded that he didn't even know if he believed in the Knights or not. Chaos Theory Part 2

In modern times, Megatron told Optimus Prime of his future plans if he defeated the Autobots and conquered Cybertron. He stated that once the Decepticon Empire had conquered the universe, he would bring about a rebirth of the Cybertronian race and create a new golden age that would put the works of the Knights of Cybertron to shame. Being Megatron, this peace would of course be achieved through tyranny. Chaos Theory Part 1

Notes

• The Knights were thought up by Mike Costa as a "sketchy" post-Chaos idea, but he couldn't get much enthusiasm for the idea. He handed the concept to James Roberts.
