Human Collaborators are a group of humans from both the American and Soviet governments that joined forces with the Decepticons. The motivations depend from member to member, but the most common reason is that they want to be spared once Megatron's plan with Sentinel Prime to bring Cybertron to Earth and enslave Humanity is set into motion.
History[]
Origins[]
Transformers: Convergence[]
The Human Collaborators came to exist when Soundwave learned that humans were trying to investigate the Ark on the Moon. In 1965, he recruited a Soviet scientist known as Voskhod to help prevent the Soviets from exploring the ship.
After failing to prevent Apollo 11 from landing on the Moon, Soundwave came into contact with Gould, the founder of Hotchkiss Gould Investiments, and procured his help into making future NASA manned missions to the Moon financially unfeasible in exchange for lots of money, which was provided by tapping the stock market. Thanks to Gould's interference, the landing of Apollo 17 in 1972 was the last mission to the Moon for a long time.
In 1979, Soundwave met with Gould in person one last time, and informed him that he would leave Earth for some time due to believing that matters on the planet were secure, and expected him to keep his part of the deal. Gould also brought his son Dylan to the meeting because he wanted his son to take over his position in the future.
Upon his return in 2007, Soundwave re-stablished contact with all of the Human Collaborators, while also meeting Alexi, Voskhod's nephew.
Transformers: Rising Storm[]
In 2010, Soundwave revealed to Megatron everything he did in the last half-century, including the Human Collaborators, making Megatron realize there was still salvation for his original plan with Sentinel Prime, and so put it back into motion.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon[]
In 2013, Megatron decided that all the Human Collaborators have served their purpose, and ordered Soundwave and Laserbeak to kill all of them. Since Voskhod and Gould already passed away prior to this, only Alexi, Bob Singer and Jerry Wang were all killed off, though the latter gave Sam Witwicky information about the group's existence and the Decepticons' plan involving Sentinel.
The only ones who weren't killed were Dylan, his assistant, his executive and wife, and his five bodyguards. The American Government learned of Dylan's Assistant and Executive's involvement, leading to both of them being arrested and the latter's wife to begin her life again. This left only Dylan and his bodyguards to arrive in Chicago to help in the initial massacre. Sam asked for Simmons and Dutch's help to track him into the city.
When the Autobots were revealed to have survived, they helped Sam rescue Carly and kill all of Dylan's bodyguards. This only left Dylan himself as the only living Human Collaborator who wasn't behind bars. Eventually, Dylan met his end when Sam whacked him in the face to tumble backwards into the Control Pillar while it was still active, causing him to be electrocuted to death.
In the aftermath of the Battle of Chicago, all but one of it's members were either dead or arrested and the executive's wife no longer had connections with the Decepticons so she could restart her life, meaning that the Human Collaborators finally ceased from existing, and that all of the group's actions to help the Decepticons were in vain.
