As the series went on new, more interesting ways were introduced and the topic was further explored. As the story progressed, Transformers started to become portrait as sentient beings rather than mechanical beings. This brought forth more complex ideas and solutions to this question. One of the first of these more complex ideas introduced is Spark infusion.
The Beast War cartoon introduced us to the Spark, a guiding, animating life-force. It was established as a supernatural artifact with the power to create a new life in Transformers. During this time Marvel comics introduced a similar explanation following the idea of the spark.
The Creation Matrix is also described as a Primal Program which allows the creation of life and new Cybertronians.
Another way of transformers reproduction is forging. Some Transformers stories point to creation through a different type of spark. These stories introduce the idea of the Well of All Sparks. It is presented as a mechanism that allows the new sparks created in the core of the planet.
It is most commonly described as a vehicle that allows the spark to inhabit living metal and in that way create new Transformers. Another commonly mentioned practice is the one called budding. It is similar to the process of cell division in humans.
This process enables a rapid reproduction by generating a mass of energized liquid metal from within their body. After the process starts one parent unit splits into two separate units, creating a parent and a new Cybertronian.
The newly created Cybertronian will have a link with the parent unit it came from. Many disregard the process as a way of reproduction because it was most likely a communal event. Once Transformers reached the desired population level, Primus stopped the practice and all memory of it was erased. One of the most popular Theories discussed among fans, although never confirmed, is regarding the question of whether Transformers can reproduce biologically.
It was mentioned that Transformers live in a small family-like groups and that Transformers have an understanding of human reproduction. It is only logical that Transformers do not practice this kind of procreation because they view it as something entirely alien to their mechanical worldview. Although the most common answer is that Autobots are born throughout the mechanical assembly, there are also many other explanations for this question, as well.
One of the most accepted ideas today, mostly thanks to the movies, is the idea that a supernatural force or a matrix similar to the once introduced early on in the franchise, is the answer to how Autobots are born. The already introduced idea of the sparks is further dependent through the connection to the supercomputer Vector Sigma. Vector Sigma is described as being able to use energy infusion from a powerful ancient object to be brought to life via sparks. Vector Sigma was later connected to birth through the primordial liquid protoform which held in the sparks.
The movies introduce this idea in the form of a cuboid Allspark. Kill All 'Cons. Little is known about how the " Builders of Cybertron "—the former Autobots and Decepticons who fought the Great War—reproduced, although they regarded Vector Sigma as their "font of life".
Head Games By the end of their conflict Vector Sigma was counted among the casualties, threatening the dying Cybertronian race with slow extinction. Broken Windshields During their heyday, science identified some particularly exceptional Builders as Point One Percenters, who had helped thwart Unicron's attack on Cybertron.
The Inexorable March. Correctly realizing that the Cybertronian race was doomed without an alternate means of generating new sparks, Cerebros bargained with the hyper-evolved Human Confederacy in the hopes that they could grant his race a future.
Using the energon matrix they provided, he helped to create the Maximals and Predacons as successors to the Autobots and Decepticons—but even though his contemporaries merely saw these newly created "proto-races" as slaves to continue their old grudges via vicious gladiatorial Games , Cerebros viewed this as an acceptable sacrifice to curtail further Cybertronian aggression.
Head Games. Years into the Grand Uprising , the artificially created Galva Convoy and his cloned energon matrix devised the Vehicon , a mass-produced proto-race that could "reproduce" by infecting other Cybertronians and transforming them into more mindless Vehicons. Originally conceived as a weapon of war, the rise of the Vehicons soon snowballed into the Vehicon Apocalypse that effectively ended the Grand Uprising.
After the onset of the Great War, several Cybertronians were constructed cold. The Truth We Make. Following Megatron 's defeat, Brawn and his spouse Cover Girl used a combination of Headmaster , binary bonding , and technoactive core technology to conceive a half-Cybertronian, half-human child.
The War Never Ends. New Transformers are forged from Cybertron's living metal, a process that begins with the mass harvesting of raw materials by gigantic, mobile crawlers such as Leviathan The World In Your Eyes Part Three and continues at the Pyramid in Iacon , where this metal is shaped into a new body to house a spark obtained from the Well of All Sparks.
Finally, the newborn Transformer is introduced to the people of Cybertron in a great open-air celebration officiated by the reigning Prime.
The World In Your Eyes Part Four Wannabee, Part 2 The Transformers of this universe emerge in a comparatively underdeveloped state; born without a concrete understanding of the world around them and lacking an alternate mode , the task of educating these new Transformers falls to a volunteer "mentor" that essentially serves as a parent.
Under their mentor's tutelage, new Cybertronians learn about life on Cybertron, apprentice themselves in a job that suits their interests and talents, and eventually scan an alternate mode for themselves. With the passing of the Nominus Edict in the years that followed the War of the Threefold Spark , the forging of new Transformer lives became a strictly controlled affair, only permitted every few kilocycles when the Senate deemed it appropriate.
Wannabee, Part 2. Very little is known about how new Transformers come online in this continuity, with the exception of the Mini-Cons.
These tiny Transformers were deliberately created by Unicron from his cells so as to accelerate the ferocity of the Transformer war on Cybertron; their collective birth had them all hatch from glowing green pods of energy inside Unicron's innermost workings.
Redline and Falcia combined energy from their spark frames in order to create a new body for Twirl to inhabit after her Mini-Con storage panel was destroyed in battle. After returning to the living world, Twirl viewed the pair as her "father" and "mother," a claim that Falcia vehemently denied.
Linkage Part 7. Transformer mythology holds that their race was created by the AllSpark , an ancient artifact of unknown origin. When the artifact found its way to Earth, the humans of Sector Seven experimented with the AllSpark's life-giving properties, and discovered that the AllSpark's energy could animate machinery and turn any electronic device into feral " AllSpark Mutations.
Somewhat confusingly, this continuity family also provides the most evidence for some kind of sexual reproduction: various characters such as Hound Age of Extinction and Jetfire Revenge of the Fallen have alluded to mothers and fathers, ancillary tie-in media has claimed that Megatron killed his and Optimus Prime 's father, Transformers Autobots Megatron himself supposedly possesses "chromosomes," Age of Extinction and Wheelie humps Mikaela Banes ' leg in a moment of passion.
Revenge of the Fallen. At any rate, those Transformers in this universe who are not simply brought to life by the AllSpark begin as " hatchlings ," tiny unprogrammed protoforms who gestate in fluid sacs and require regular doses of energon to survive. Revenge of the Fallen As they mature, hatchlings leave this pod and begin to consume minerals. Dark of the Moon Eventually, they assume their adult dimensions, becoming a protoform capable of engaging in scanning for new alternate modes.
Revenge of the Fallen The Dinobots appeared to have reproduced during the three years since Optimus Prime 's departure from Earth, birthing the rambunctious " Mini Dinobots ," but details beyond this are scarce.
The Last Knight. New protoforms are created from Cybertron's abundant reserves of protomatter , mined from the planet's Sonic Canyons. Once harvested, this metal then placed inside a stasis pod and exposed to the light of the special Matrix Chamber within the dojo of the Cyber-Ninja Corps.
After many stellar cycles, the protoforms are imbued with sparks and brought online. Autoboot Camp Traditionally, protoforms were granted sparks through the AllSpark , which had supposedly created the Transformer race ten billion years prior; when Megatron 's Decepticons sought to seize the AllSpark for themselves during the Great War , the Autobots hid the artifact in deep space, far from Cybertron.
When Optimus Prime and his crew inadvertently stumbled upon the AllSpark in the present day and destroyed its physical form during a battle on Earth , the "AllSpark fragments" that remained displayed the ability to animate machinery, The Elite Guard each fragment acting as an immortal, indestructible spark.
Mission Accomplished Two AllSpark fragments turned a pair of human machines into the Constructicons ; Rise of the Constructicons another fragment brought a heap of garbage to life as the eccentric Wreck-Gar , Garbage In, Garbage Out and Starscream used a cadre of stolen protoforms and subdivided his own AllSpark fragment to create a legion of dysfunctional clones.
A Fistful of Energon. In this backwards universe, new Cybertronians receive " embers " from the Omega Terminus supercomputer. Legions of misshapen mutants attend to this twisted machine by gathering the corpses of the dead from across Cybertron and bringing them to the mass graveyard that surrounds the computer's plinth.
Over time, Omega Terminus processes, breaks down, and recycles these remains into fresh robotic bodies, then imbues them with embers to bring them to life. The influence of Omega Terminus ensures that newborn Transformers quickly forget their origins, and its existence is thus considered to be a myth to the people of Cybertron. In addition to this, the Omega Terminus can also grant embers to non-sentient Cybertronian mechanoids.
Grimlock was one such being; under the influence of the Omega Terminus, he rapidly evolved from a simplistic, AI-powered machine into a true Cybertronian, gaining a powerful robot mode and a sophisticated intellect to boot. All Cybertronians begin their existence in the Well of All Sparks. This channel to the living core of Cybertron, created after the death of Solus Prime and her return to Primus, The Covenant of Primus is where new sparks are formed through the AllSpark that traditionally resides within the Well.
In eras past, new protoforms would first have to reach the surface via a death-defying run through the Underworld and its assorted horrors to prove their courage and bravery, but this practice eventually faded—by the era just before the Great War, protoforms were simply harvested from the Well, taught to transform, and put to work under the caste system.
Exodus Other near-Cybertronian creatures, such as the Insecticons , could replicate themselves, but each successive generation grew increasingly primitive.
Fall of Cybertron. The earliest Transformers born from the Well were unaware that they could transform at all; when the Quintessons took control of the planet during the Age of Wrath , they claimed that they had given the Cybertronian race this ability. The influence that the Quintessons exerted over the primitive planet was considerable to the point where newborn Cybertronians during this era began emerging from the well without names, merely numbers.
Finally, however, an underground resistance group captured Silverbolt as he emerged from the Well and examined him to prove that the T-cog was a natural part of Transformer biology. In the Golden Age that followed the expulsion of the Quintessons from their world, Transformers colonized other planets by using conversion beams to instantaneously cyberform promising planets into metallic, Cybertron-like worlds.
A portion of Cybertron's own AllSpark energy was used to ignite the colony's core to create a miniature copy of the original Well on Cybertron.
The Covenant of Primus. However the AllSpark created one final wave of Transformers who unanimously joined the Autobots, a generation that included Bumblebee.
Exodus During the war, the Decepticon Shockwave experimented with cloning, and even managed to create armies of Predacons based off prehistoric creatures who had once roamed ancient Cybertron. Project Predacon The Decepticons were able to clone protoforms, and Starscream used an abandoned science lab aboard the Decepticon vessel Harbinger to briefly create a team of clones.
Armada After the end of the war, Optimus Prime , who had since absorbed the energy of the AllSpark into his physical form for safekeeping, sacrificed his life to reignite the Well and give birth to a brand-new generation of Cybertronians.
Predacons Rising The Covenant of Primus. The Decepticon Ragnarok was an Outlier who could clone himself at will by budding. Any part of The Source —including both Primus and Unicron , as well as the Chronarchitect —can be harnessed to create a new spark, and even Unicron's poisonous emanations like Dark Energon and Angolmois Energy can be used, under the correct circumstances, to grant life to Cybertronian bodies.
Vector Prime held that it was not the origins of a spark that determined its future alignment, and pointed out that all sparks had the capacity for both good and evil. The AllSpark was the source of Cybertronian life and the mechanism by which new sparks came into existence. Allspark During the Great War, Megatron hoped to use Vector Sigma to reprogram the AllSpark, then use it to create to a new generation of unstoppable Decepticon warriors.
Megatron Is My Hero Although this plan was ultimately foiled in one universe, the Megatron of an alternate timeline accomplished this goal after killing his universe's Optimus Prime , and used the AllSpark of his universe to create an army of " Perfect Decepticons. In the real-life continuity, when two toy manufacturing companies love each other very much, one of them may start shooting Transformer design propositions to the other one.
There, during several months of gestation, engineers will work on those designs, which will be developed into functional and manufacturable Transformers. Once the Transformer is ready to be produced, its design will be sent to marketing and ultimately to the chain manufacturer for the delivery.
A new Transformer is born! Views Page Discussion View source History. Reproduction From Transformers Wiki. Jump to: navigation , search. This is only one method of creating new Transformers. There are others. When two cybertronians love each other very much… well, fill in the blank. Dose Cybertron still have the capital punishment, if so can you make a list of all the crimes you can do to be executed and if not why don't they have it anymore.
After all the death and destruction in the ages of war Cybertron has been subject to, very few Cybertronians are willing to outright eliminate threats on a permanent basis.
In Kaon, however, anything goes. Battles between heroes and villains are often both violent and lethal - though the heroes more often than not win.
Some attribute this bloody-mindedness to the inherent nature of the Kaoner folk or racist gak like that, others to the rampant violence in the city's less controlled sectors.
