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 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
Universe
The Quintessons had tried to control Primus by creating the Plasma Energy Chamber. They failed and created the Trans-Organics. Disclosure

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.
