Trans-Organic

This article is about the part organic part mechanical creations of the Quintessons. For the part organic part mechanical Transformers, see technorganic.

Trans-Organics are Quintesson creations from the Generation 1 continuity family.

The monster mash!

The Trans-Organics were the first creation of the Quintessons, predating even the Transformers themselves. Large by even Transformers standards, the beasts were deemed ill-fit for even the most simple of tasks. Too violent, uncontrollable, the beasts can be put to use for one thing and one thing only: destruction.

Most of the Trans-Organics were destroyed in the distant past but those that could not be destroyed were left in a Hibernation Chamber deep within Cybertron.

Fiction

The Transformers cartoon

Seven Trans-Organics were unearthed by Galvatron and his forces in a Quintesson trap. They were: A gorilla-like beast with green tendrils for arms (vaguely resembling the D&D demon prince Demogorgon), a largely metal white snake, an almost completely metallized bird, a brown anklyosauric creature, a half robotic bear, and a frog-like creature with a bear trap on its back and a camera for an eye.

The seventh was far larger still, the vampiric energy sucking worm known as the Dweller. The Dweller consumed the other Trans-Organics before moving on to the Transformers. The Dweller in the Depths

Notes

• More weird-looking lifeforms would be encountered by Optimus Prime during his journey through Cybertron in The Headmasters episode "Birth of the Fantastic Double Prime". Perhaps they are Trans-Organics, perhaps they are not.
• The Trans-Organics' origin resembles that of the Demons in some ways. Both races were built as precursors to the Transformers, but locked away by their creators.
