## [History]

Cybertronians or Transformers as we call them are a species of autonomous robotic organisms hailing from the planet Cybertron. Their civilization has lived for more than 12 million years, according to Rachet not much is known about his species' origins. Similar to our planet's different cultures, they also have their own version of the creation myth, according to legends, during the beginning of time there were two supreme beings called Primus and Unicron. They battled each other for eons, with neither side remaining victorious. That is until both beings chose a herald, a vessel of sorts to act as their medium. Primus choosing a cybertronian known as Prima, while Unicron chose Galvatron. Primus ordered Prima to unite the 13 clans of Cybertron, later giving rise to the original 13 Primes, with the combined effort of the 13 they managed to defeat Galvatron and cast Unicron out. Having fulfilled its objective Primus went into a deep slumber, eventually becoming one with the planet itself, and brought new life through the creation of the Well of All Sparks.

A new version of the creation myths were also created during the era known as the Age of Wrath, after the betrayal of Megatronus Prime and Quintessa Prime, they violated Prima's treaty for a united Cybertron. This led to Megatronus being sealed, while Quintessa and her clan, the Quintessons, were successful in conquering most of the planet. They would spread propaganda that they were the creators of the Cybertronian race. This new legend states that the Quintessons were the original inhabitants of Cybertron, with their immense genius and ingenuity they managed to create artificial life called "Trans-Organics", thus giving rise to what we now know as Cybertronians. In order to manipulate the general masses, they stated that the reason that Cybertronians were even created in the first place was to serve and protect their masters the Quintessons. This version of the creation myth are generally rejected by modern day Cybertron, however a few cults within the planet still worship Quintessa Prime.

## [General Biology and Physical Description]

Cybertronians are a species of sentient, living mechanical organisms. Their bodies consists of a "brain" called Memory Drives, a Spark and a body built of mechanical frames. A Cybertronian's metal plating consists of a living metal of sorts, as it shares the same properties to that of organic tissue such as being able to repair itself. They seam to be able to "respirate" however this is not similar to how and why we do it. This respiration assists in functions like air cooling and flushing away debris and dust that may have accumulated within their bodies. In general most Cybertronians are huge, generally standing from 15 to 30 feet tall. And since they are mostly made of metal, they would generally weigh a lot as well ranging from 600 to 65,000 lbs.

It has been observed that they posses mechanical nerves within their plating as they are seen to be able to feel pain. They also posses the same senses as a human does such as sight, smell, hearing and touch with a few additional ones as well such as a built in communication link and a radar sense of sorts. If a Cybertronian's limbs were severed, it could be surgically replaced or repaired back into place. If necessary, a Cybertronian could upgrade or even possess an entirely new body, through transferring their spark and memory drives. Though this is rarely done, as it is extremely dangerous and could even prove fatal as their own spark could fade before they could even make it onto the new body.

### Spark

The Spark is essentially the life force of all the inhabitants of Cybertron. It could be translated as their heart or even soul.

### Energy and Fuel

From all the information that we have so far, as well as the information provided to us by our Autobot allies. Cybertronians generally don't need to eat, sleep and even breathe. Their only source of fuel is a material known as Energon. It essentially powers their whole body to function, it acts as their blood as well as their fuel for energy. They normally need to intake about 5 gallons of Energon a day (however this may depend on how much of their energy has been expended), Crude Oil can also be used as a temporary alternative, but they may need to intake more than 5 gallons of it as it provides little to no benefits. A Cybertronian must never use Crude Oil as a permanent energy source as it can lead to Energon-deficiency and even Oil Poisoning.

### Special Adaptations

The components that makes all Cybertronians including their sub-species unique is the Transformation Cog or T-cog for short. These are the bio-mechanisms that allows them to "transform" into their alternate modes. Formerly a special mutation that was only present within Adaptus Prime, it would later be passed onto the next generation eventually becoming a dominant organ within all the inhabitants of Cybertron. Without a T-cog, a Cybertronian would lose access to their alt mode or any upgrades that needs them to reconfigure certain limbs. Most Cybertronians would also posses a "Voice-Box" it essentially allows them to "talk" in later generations, the voice box comes equipped with a universal translator.

## [Reproduction]

Cybertronians concept of Reproduction is widely debated upon by the people of our planet, but it has come to light that they have a unique way of reproducing. They reproduce similarly to how Kryptonians do, they essentially give birth within Life pods located within the Well of All Spark. Contained within the pods are nothing more but a blob of living metal that contains an empty spark, but when two cybertronians or the "Sparkmakers" would place a piece of themselves or any material that contains any genetic structure within these pods. These blobs of living metal would absorb the DNA or CNA and would later transform into a Protoform, these Protoforms would need to be contained within the pods for 1 orbital cycle or 1 month in earth terms in order to fully develop into "Sparklings".

Most Cybertronians possess a physical sex of some type (as evident by both Male and Female Cybertronians)

### Male

* Male Cybertronians generally posses a more bulky outward appearance than their female counterparts. They tend to have more broad shoulders and bulkier abdominal bodies. However this isn't really the norm as it mostly depends on the body type they receive upon being born

### Female

* Female Cybertronians posses a more graceful and rounder form and slimmer waists. They even posses plating and body armor that resembles breast. However similarly to their male counterparts, this isn't the norm as it mostly depends on the body type they receive upon being born

However Cybertronians generally don't have a concept of gender and sexuality as they are incapable of reproducing sexually, thus same-sex couples are common among the Cybertronian populace. These couples could even conceive a Sparkling as the sex of the Cybertronians doesn't really matter during the entire reproduction process.
