GO TO HEAVEN! LIFE IS ONLY ONCE!
Known to its modern population as Demons, Cybertron's original inhabitants were sealed away underground by Primus. Except for the occasional escape, they have remained sealed away by Primus's actions ever since, known to the surface only in legends. According to those legends, the Demons are "the flipside of the Matrix's good creatures".
Demons are very large creatures (towering above Transformers) that can absorb energy without harm, up to direct weapons fire. At least one has demonstrated the ability to breathe fire. They "feed" on Transformers by absorbing their lifeforce, eventually killing them. If a demon absorbs too much energy, it will explode.

History[]
Marvel Generation 1 comics continuity[]
Cybertron's original inhabitants were sealed away underground by Primus.
Notes[]
- The appearance of the Demons differs wildly depending on the artist.
- The Demons' origin resembles that of the Trans-Organics in some ways. Both races were built as precursors to the Transformers, but locked away by their creators.
- It was unclear in the stories if the Demons were the original inhabitants of the world Primus fashioned into Cybertron, or an attempt by Primus to create life that predated the Transformers. However, writer Simon Furman later clarified in an interview that he envisioned them as being botched creations of Primus. He would go on to establish that they were indeed the first children of Primus in "Natural Selection, Part Four".
