History

Transformers

Various branches of the Transformers franchise include mutant beings that live beneath the surface of Cybertron, serving as a menace to the more typical inhabitants of the planet such as the Autobots, Decepticons, and Mini-Cons.

Another class of Transformers Mutants were introduced in the Beast Wars line, in which they were Transformers who, due to a malfunction in their stasis pods, scanned two Beast Modes instead of one and thus lost their robot forms, instead becoming beings who would switch back and forth between the two animal-based forms. A similar character, Noble/Savage, was introduced in Beast Machines, but was created by Megatron's attempts to purge himself of his organic nature.

Go-Bots

Challenge of the GoBots featured monstrous robotic beings that inhabited Gobotron.
