Dweller

The Dweller is a mechanical eldritch entity from the fictional universe of Transformers by Hasbro. 
==Background==
In the G1 cartoon, the Dweller was one of the Trans-Organics, the first lifeforms ever created by the Quintessons to be their slaves. When the Dweller proved to be far too destructive, it was sealed away in a Hibernation Chamber below the depths of the planet Cybertron. Millions of years later, the Quintessons hatched a scheme to conquer Cybertron by manipulating Galvatron into awakening the Dweller and the rest of the surviving Trans-Organics. Free and unencumbered, the Dweller went on a rampage and drained the life-force of the Cybertronians that it encountered, turning them into mindless "Energy Vampires". The Autobots eventually ejected the Dweller into space, where it attacked the Quintessons' ship.
Another incarnation of the Dweller appears in Cyberverse, where it was depicted as being an ancient Titan who laid dormant in the Argon Sea. Once awoken, the Dweller attempted to use the cityspeaker Windblade to spread his psychic mind control and enslave all of Cybertron. 
==Mythos Connections==
*The Dweller is a pastiche of Cthulhu, being an ancient evil entity who was sealed away in the depths below. This is made even more prevalent with his Cyberverse incarnation, bearing a strong physical resemblance to the Great Old One.
*The Trans-Organics' backstory recalls the relationship between the Shoggoths and the Elder Things.
