Progenitors

Progenitors are the now-extinct race of aliens who were of organic flesh who created the Jumpgates vital for interstellar and intergalactic travel and the race of giant, sentient robots called Transformers. They also created the organic, blue-skinned humanoid race known as Neosapiens. Most, if not all, Progenitors believed in a God or Supreme Being called the Allspark (see Cult of the Allspark). The Progenitors killed themselves in a religious, genocidal civil war over whether to promote themselves to other races as gods or promote a monotheistic faith that held the Allspark was the One True God.
