Shifter

Shifters are a Cybertronian sub-species from the Aligned continuity family.

While almost every Cybertronian is capable of changing shape to some degree, Shifters take this to a whole new level. Supposed descendants of the trickster of the Thirteen Amalgamous Prime, Shifters are chameleonoid even by their race's standards. They have the ability to take any form comparative to their normal size and mass—extending even to other Cybertronians. Thus, their rare talent makes them highly-prized spies and scouts by others.

Known Shifters

• Amalgamous Prime - Original Shifter.
• Makeshift - Now deceased.
• The Mutacons - Granted to them by Amalgamous Prime's Transformation cog.

Fiction

Transformers: Exiles Transformers: The Covenant of Primus

Notes

• Nexus Prime is described as being like a Shifter at the end of Transformers: Exiles, but since they were earlier described as the descendants of Amalgamous Prime, this may be more comparative than literal.
