The "Creators" are a mysterious race of unknown aliens tied to the origins of the Cybertronians.
Biology[]
Very little is known about the Creators' appearance, the only confirmed attribute being their limbs being technorganic with pink skin and six fingers.
Culture and society[]
According to Lockdown, the Creators do not like it when different species are mixed together, including their creations. It can be inferred that their ultimate goal is to punish the Cybertronians for becoming self-aware and interacting with other species during the Great War.
This attitude also seems to establish a rough connection to Quintessa, an equally enigmatic mechanoid sorceress. When taking the "Creators"' golden rule of forbidding interspecies relationships into account, Quintessa seems to go against this ideal as she sought to revitalize Cybertron in her own image. This is evident from the planet possessing a technorganic appearance similar to Primax 496.22 Alpha's Cybertron post-Great Transformation, complete with terrain and vegetation similar to Earth.
History[]
Millions of years ago, the Creators visited thousands of planets and cyberformed them with protomatter seeds, which created a living metal they would later use to forge the planet Cybertron and its inhabitants, the Cybertronians. One such planet was prehistoric Earth, with the Creators unknowingly causing the extinction of dinosaurs.
65 million years later, the Creators tasked the Cybertronian bounty hunter Lockdown to their "knights", which included Autobot leader Optimus Prime and several Dinobots. According to Optimus, they also wanted all other Cybertronians to be either be turned into slaves or extinguished. After executing Lockdown, Optimus flew off into space to hopefully learn the truth of his race's creation, sending a message warning the Creators to leave Earth alone lest they face his wrath.

Notes[]
- The Creators are often speculated to be a live-action incarnation of the Quintessons. This is evident when Lockdown tells Optimus Prime "they built [Cybertronians] to do as [they were] told" when the latter said that "[he is] a slave to no one".
- Quintessa is likewise speculated to be a rouge member of the Creators' species. While her characterization is loosely based on the Quintessons' portrayal in Generation 1 lore, her name is similar to their home planet whereas her design is reminiscent of Quintus Prime, who is often portrayed as having a connection to the Quintessons.
