Functionist Council

The Functionist Council were the twelve Cybertronians who regulated functionism: the social practice and religious belief that a Transformer's class and job should be dependent on their alt mode. From their headquarters, the Council discussed any changes and oversaw the Grand Cybertronian Taxonomy that explained how everyone fit into the social order.

Their political and social power was definitely not abused. (Look, just nod and agree, I think they're still watching.)

"This is what happens when you act against us."
