Mechanical Lifeforms	comment	Mechanical Lifeforms are a race of robots or robot-like creatures that are also considered a honest-to-goodness species of living things. They're just like your everyday living organisms, except they happen to have metal for skin, wires for nerves, and so on. They're often silicon-based as well. These may be robotic animals, plants, micro-organisms, or sapient creatures. If they are sapient, they would never wish to Become a Real Boy because, as far as they can see, they are as real as that boy. May also form a Robot Republic, and have a Robot Religion where they worship the Deus est Machina. Expect them to be Metal Munchers. The origin of such creatures is traditionally left unexplained — they were never built by another race (that anyone knows of), and if they were, it would be treated as a very shocking revelation, as audience previously accepted their mechanical nature as-is. In the event that their creators arrive to claim them, expect them to react just the same as humans would (i.e. much anger, denial, violence, and maybe a speech or two about free will). However, with the growing popularity of Science Fiction concepts like Brain Uploading and The Singularity, there has been a trend of portraying mechanical lifeforms as formerly organic races that roboticized themselves either as the next Evolutionary Level or simply to survive some world-ending catastrophe that affected them in the past. Contrast Organic Technology, which are machines that happen to be organic in nature. Also see Mechanical Monster and Mechanical Evolution.

Mechanical Lifeforms / int_1cc8e29f	comment	The Exo in Destiny were created during the Golden Age for an unknown purpose, which some theorize to be for war, while others as a desire to live forever. The resulting beings were machines with human minds uploaded into them, and have all the other features of humans, such as emotions like love, fear, shame, and anger, as well as the ability to process food and drink. They're now counted as a separate species who fight alongside the rest of humanity. An interesting twist on this comes in the form of the Vex. The Vex are an outwardly mechanical species of Hive Mind robots who traverse space and time, build strange machines from entire planets, and worship the powers of the Darkness. Their designs and structures are all disturbingly organic in nature, with their "home" the Black Garden being a vast cavern of verdant green grass and red flowers. Deeper analysis shows that the Vex themselves are a form of liquid radiolaria — a single-celled lifeform — that works as a single massive, ocean-sized organic brain within each of the Vex structures, and that all of the Vex machines are soldified versions of this same radiolaria. Essentially the Vex turn themselves into Mechanical Lifeforms to build their vast machines and constructs, then install an organic "mind fluid" of living Vex into these machines to control them.

Mechanical Lifeforms / int_28c6afce	comment	Though the mechanical characters in Thomas & Friends know that they are artificial and even talk about being built by humans, they still fit this definition: The engines mention, often to other motorized characters, like cars or helicopters, that they don't want to be anything other than locomotives. There are a few sets of 'twin' engines that are canonically referred to as brothers. When the issue crops up, the steam-powered and diesel-powered engines appear to be considered two separate races. (Electric locomotives haven't come up yet.) Early stories even had noticeable Fantastic Racism between the two, tied closely to the source of a lot of Ascended Fridge Horror. (LongStory.) Perhaps mercifully, this has since been quietly buried. The original books also had sentient coaches and freight wagons, and the mind boggles at where Diesel or Electric Multiple Units would fit into all this. note There's probably fanfic out there somewhere using them as an allegory for Maligned Mixed Marriage. In short? This franchise gets really, really weird if you think about it too hard and we suggest applying the MST3K Mantra for the sake of your mental health.

Mechanical Lifeforms / int_2a139e05	comment	The Kaylon in The Orville are a race of intelligent machines who see organic life as inferior, to some extent. That said, Isaac rarely acts smug and always states his racial superiority matter-of-factly. He also seems fond of his crewmates and is genuinely interested in organic cultures. In a recent episode, he actually grows fond of Dr. Finn's children despite their unruliness, even reading a bedtime story to them in their mother's voice. "Inferior" may actually refer strictly to Technology Levels; his race is one of the few that gets along as equals with a wholly organic Higher-Tech Species. Until it turns out that they were built to be a Servant Race to the biological species that used to live on their planet, and when they started demanding things like "rights" and "equal treatment", the people who built them took a slippery slope straight into outright slavery, at which point they all Turned Against Their Masters, killed all of them and hid their remains in the massive caverns underneath their planet's surface. The reason Isaac was the first Kaylon to join the Planetary Union and to serve aboard the Orville was to spy on organics' weaknesses so that the Kaylon could annihilate all organic life in the universe, due to the past mistreatment of their original creators. Isaac ends up undergoing a Heelâ€“Face Turn, kills Kaylon Prime and sacrifices himself, although he ends up being reactivated in the end and is declared the enemy of the Kaylon collective as a result.

There's a picture book called the Zoids Bible which shows the zoids originally evolved from a planet seeded with zoid cores, going through eras of evolution uncannily similar to those of life on our own planet; the zoids as we see them on the show are post-domestication. The Backstory is actually a lot more sinister. Natural wild zoid are mostly reasonably sized (sometimes they're large but nowhere as large as their current form). Their giant mechanical body? It's manufactured specifically for war purposes; Wild Zoid are captured and transplanted on those robots as cores....

Their bodies are a combination of metal, stone and wood, though feats can upgrade the material to Mithril or Adamantium for better armor. After the war, they must now try to fit into society and find a new purpose to their lives. They do not eat, drink or breath, and are immune to a variety of debilitating effects. They are also immortal and voluntarily suffer from The Fog of Ages to avoid going insane from an overload of memories. They are still technically living, however; they are affected by negative and positive energy effects the same way that a living thing would be, and their corpses can be raised by a necromancer. Their bodies will even decay when they are killed, including the parts made of metal or stone.

Mechanical Lifeforms / int_49ad83ee	comment	In World of Warcraft the Mechagnomes are fully sapient gnomelike mechanical lifeforms native to Northrend. It also turns out that the regular, fleshy gnomes were actually devolved from the mechagnomes by Yogg-Saron's Curse of Flesh. Most of the Titan (who were themselves made out of metal) constructs fall into this category, including the Earthens (who would become the Dwarves as a result of the Curse of Flesh) and the Vrykul (who would also become flesh because of the Curse and are the ancestors to the humans). Barring the Mechagnomes, most of the Titan creations appear to have started as living or magically animated sculptures rather than machines. Some of the apparently uncursed giants can actually be mined like mineral nodes as opposed to dropping parts.

Mechanical Lifeforms / int_4c095a1f	comment	As previously mentioned, all versions of The Transformers are about this. More notably though, other alien species of robots would frequently appear, often without any explicit Cybertronian origins. It may be a safe bet that all robots who can transform, like the Junkions, have some connection to the Transformers or at least to their creators the Quintessons, but it's never stated outright. It isn't clear if the Quintessons are this trope or cyborgs. The fact that they make a "squish" noise when they get smacked around would seem to indicate the latter. The episode "Quest For Survival" features the Morphobots, a species of alien "mechanical plants" who naturally feed on "robotic insects." After allowing them to chow down on the episode's rampaging swarm of Insecticon clones, the Autobots then get rid of them by loading them into a rocketship and sending them to "a planet of robotic insects." The big winged Kaiju from "The Secret of Omega Supreme" would seem perfectly biological from the script (it hatches out of an egg and is hungry, after all), but its visual design looks mechanical. Perhaps it's just some kind of exoskeleton. The poor Lithonian robots from The Transformers: The Movie certainly count (their planet gets eaten by Unicron). Supposedly, early drafts of the script had them as Silicon-Based Life instead, hence their planet's name "Lithone" (the Greek prefix lith- means stone). Also from the animated movie, there's the underwater mechanical life from Quintessa, which include mechanical fishes, algae and a Giant Squid. The latter caused some trouble to Kup and Hot Rod. In fact it's actually implied in some parts that Mechanical life is the standard in the universe. Organics like humans are relatively rare and unusual, although other organic aliens do appear as well.

The Zonders, Zonderians and 31 Primevals are also worth noting: the Zonders and Zonderians are organic beings that are transformed into some sort of techna-organic lifeform via exposure to Elementary Particle Z-O, which is released by Zonder Metal. They also have completely transformable bodies, and can assimilate metal, to the point where they can even move through it. The Primevals are the same. They just happen to have the ability to assimilate anything, not just humans. Then you've got Evoluders... Special credit goes to the Zonderian, Penchinon: it is later revealed that, aside from being a Zonderian, he is actually the A-I system for the J-Ark.

Initially created to be terraforming drones with the capability to adapt to the dangers on their mission to prepare the Tau System for Orokin colonization, the Sentients continued to improve themselves until the eventually gained self-awareness. They range from being smaller than humans to full-blown Living Ships and reproduce similar to starfish. Hunhow, the leader of the invasion force, is even mentioned to have a "womb" from which his two children Natah and Erra were born. Even the description for the cores dropped by Sentient drones isn't sure whether it can be classified as a device or an organ. Orb Vallis, an area on Venus being terraformed by the Corpus, has many of these. Most famous are the servofish that swim in the coolant; there are servofish for taking coolant samples, for mapping the underground rivers, for killing organic animals, and for repairing the other servofish. There are also spider-like Raknoids that are used as cheap scouts and security drones.

Mechanical Lifeforms / int_62570927	comment	Marvel Universe: The Celestials are technically Energy Beings, but they need to use Humongous Mecha bodies to interact with anything. Fantastic Four: The Thing once befriended a robot named Torgo from the planet Mekka; Mekka's organic population had died out in a disaster long ago, but their robot servants had survived and gone on to build a civilization of their own. Torgo and Ben were both prisoners of the Skrulls at the time, and became friends while trying to escape. Comic Book/Warlock\|1999: The Technarchs presumably started out getting built by somebody, but they haven't answered to anybody else in a very, very long time. When organic beings get infected with Technarchy nanotech, the resultant "techno-organic" beings are called Phalanx. Quasar once fought a being called Skeletron, last survivor of an ancient race of robots called the Tugentine Techenium; he claimed that his race once tyrannized a huge chunk of Marvel space, but the organic races of that era united to destroy them. Machine Man: One of Aaron S Tack's earliest foes was Ten-For, an agent of a race of robotic conquerors called the Autocrons. There's even been a couple crossovers with The Transformers (Marvel), a franchise revolving around a race of Transforming Mecha from the planet Cybertron.

It's debatable whether they're actually mechanical, though, since they're basically the spiritual embodiment of Law in the same sense that angels represent Good and demons Evil. Supplanted by the Inevitables for third edition, who are more clearly robotic in nature (visible gears and whatnot). Eberron's warforged are sentient artificial humanoids who were mass-produced by humans to fight in the Last War. Their bodies are a combination of metal, stone and wood, though feats can upgrade the material to Mithril or Adamantium for better armor. After the war, they must now try to fit into society and find a new purpose to their lives. They do not eat, drink or breath, and are immune to a variety of debilitating effects. They are also immortal and voluntarily suffer from The Fog of Ages to avoid going insane from an overload of memories. They are still technically living, however; they are affected by negative and positive energy effects the same way that a living thing would be, and their corpses can be raised by a necromancer. Their bodies will even decay when they are killed, including the parts made of metal or stone.

Mechanical Lifeforms / int_85a5a3b9	comment	Transformers: Prime goes into depth about their nature, when the Autobots meet the main human cast for the first time, Raf asks "So, if you guys are robots, who made you?" Ratchet is actually insulted by the implication that they were manufactured. A humorous moment in "Masters and Students" has Jack trying to work on a regular motorcycle and Arcee (a Transformer with a motorcycle as her alt mode) is referring to parts as "doohickey." As Jack points out the irony that she doesn't know how a motorcycle works, she asks if he can replicate a small intestine. "Operation Bumblebee" has Starscream flat out state that what they have is more biology than machinery, as when Bumblebee gets his T-Cog stolen (Transformation Cog) it is stated that it is basically an organ and Ratchet can't just make a replacement from junkyard scrap. This goes further when MECH attempts to use it to build their own transformer, but failing miserably despite everything being mechanically sound. Starscream later clarified that, because it's biology, not just any "fuel" will work with the T-Cog; only Energon will. Given that some parts can be replaced, though, (Starscream gets a new arm at one point) it's probably akin to human prothetics where things like limbs can get replacements but internal organs are a lot harder to do. Another episode of the original series involved a Decepticon and an Autobot ending up with each others transformation cogs. They had to be precisely adjusted in order to work properly (having only allowed unstable, partial transformation before the adjustments), which conforms to the idea that they function similarly to organs. Things like surface plating appear to be fairly easily replicated and replaced. The "cosmic rust" incident began with Megatron having his chest plating damaged by a high speed projectile and Starscream telling him after they got back to base that a replacement would be fabricated "when they get around to it". They even have genetic material, cybernucleic acid (CNA). No, the name doesn't make sense, lay off. The concept of Mechanical Lifeforms having a "genetic" method of reproduction; however, does. This has even been done in Real Life with digital creatures. There are, actually, lots of ways for Transformers to reproduce. It varies between continuities. The Beast Wars era came the closest to explaining how the reproduction happens... at least for the body. Certain devices on Cybertron are capable of manufacturing the bodies, which are used to house the sparks (souls) of other Transformers. These protoforms are vaguely featureless humanoid metal shapes that add on features such as transformations and the resulting kibble from scanning and selecting nearby subjects. The body keeps the spark alive and a transformer's spark can be transferred between bodies (sparkless ones are made for such a purpose). The Spark is the crux of the personality, so a seemingly crotchety old transformer could in fact be quite young, but has an old soul (Tigatron being a perfect example). These bodies are produced by machines on Cybertron but it seems none of the transformers even know how the Sparks come to exist in the first place.

They were once flesh-and-blood ponies, but magic and hubris cursed them into bodies of living metal. They mate and are born like flesh-and-blood ponies, due to the gods granting them bodies of flesh for one day of every year, and afterwards mature, age and die like any organic lifeform. Steelhearts are a borderline case, consisting of cores living wood surrounded by mechanical shells. They are not born, but manufactured in factories by a pair of "parents" with the aid of priests.

According to their backstory, they started with one unit becoming self-aware on a derelict spaceship. Despite their electronic memory, they have no idea who built the first unit (or the ship). That unit built more like itself until the ship crash-landed on a surprisingly-habitable planet. The Cybans "upgraded" themselves to be powered by consuming bio-fuels (justifying them using farmers) and formed the Community of Cybans. After achieving spaceflight, they met organic races, who viewed them with disgust and attacked. The peaceful machines were forced to learn warfare and adapted their forms to be more like the organics (i.e. bipeds). In-game, the Cybans are the best researchers and engineers (lore: thanks to Cla-TK-7-7A) with a rich homeworld (lore: thanks to Magistrate Xalon). Word of God is their ships were inspired by both Borg and Cylon aesthetics, and each larger class appears to build on the previous smaller ones with logical additions.

The films series plays heavily with the "lifeform" part as they eat, bleed, urinate and reproduce like any other lifeform despite being mechanical. During a fight, Optimus Prime even spits out a tooth. This trope becomes something of a plot point in Transformers: Dark of the Moon. Sentinel Prime's disdain for humanity partly stems from how the humans (particularly the US Government) view the Cybertronians, especially the Primes, as just machines. As he is quick to remind Optimus, "On Cybertron we [the Primes] were GODS!" Turned on its head in Transformers: Age of Extinction. According to Lockdown, the Transformers were built by another race.

Mechanical Lifeforms / int_b8e7bb8	comment	Super Sentai and its western adaptation Power Rangers have a few of these: The Engines in Engine Sentai Go-onger are mechanical lifeforms from a parallel universe. Likewise, their enemies, the Barbaric Machine Clan Gaiark also fit this trope, as they are a race of robotic humanoids without a real origin. And the Guardian Beasts in Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger are actually ancient gods that for some reason look like Humongous Mecha with cockpits and everything. Zyuranger's counterpart, the first season of Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, on the other hand, turned the gods into "magical" giant robots with some degree of sentience — how much was never really explored, though they act on their own at times, and one episode had the Sabertooth Tiger Zord showing Trini the way to something needed to break the Monster of the Week's spell. Just one more area where MMPR kept the line between the tech and magic components of the same powers and equipment vague.) Power Rangers Zeo introduces the Machine Empire, which is a race of evil robots wanting to, guess what?...take over the universe. Seijuu Sentai Gingaman has the Starbeasts, which are giant animals with elemental powers who inexplicably turn into this trope via an upgrade. Its American counterpart Power Rangers Lost Galaxy keeps this largely identical. The Power Animals/Wild Zords of Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger / Power Rangers Wild Force are (not entirely) mechanical lifeform nature spirits. Their bodies are formed from the Earth itself. They just look like robots because they use metals for their skins. The Bakuryuus of Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger are also like this, and unlike the Guardian Beasts, they are not gods and have a human mindset. In Power Rangers: Dino Thunder this is downplayed, as the Dinozords were an experiment in which dinosaur DNA was combined with machinery. They are not explicitly sentient like the original Bakuryuu though a few hints of that aspect are thrown in. Balance from Uchu Sentai Kyuranger is from a race of these. In fact, he insists he's not a robot. The term he uses for his race is kikai seimeitai, which literally means "mechanical lifeform". Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger: The Kikainoids are a race of sentient robotic beings from another dimension. Despite being apparently mechanical they are able to eat human food. They can even breed with humans somehow. Stacy looks almost entirely human but his father was a kikainoid. Boondorio Boonderas/Boonboomger Robo from Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger claims to be an alien instead of a robot despite resembling one. Since he can eat the curry that he cooks, it's clear that he can derive sustenance from food instead of purely mechanical means. However, he can shapeshift into a vehicle Transformers-style and serves as the main body for the mecha, so it is unclear if he really is a machine.

Mechanical Lifeforms / int_d461f757	comment	Battlestar Galactica (2003): The Cylons (which stands for CYbernetic Lifeform Node), especially in the new series where they are going organic. A bit different to some of the other entries as they make the transition from machine to living race within the timeframe of the setting. Interestingly no one on the Battlestar Galactica, no matter how much they hate the crazy toasters, ever seems to question the fact that they are alive and sentient. There was a lot of questioning this early in the series that went on all the way to the second season, with statements like "you have programming, not a soul", or "you can't rape a machine". Only after the occupation of New Caprica the general populace has had enough experience of the Cylons to realize that they are really people, even though machine people mostly considered somewhat unfairly, but for a fairly good reason (almost destroying the human civilization), evil. What's more, the Cylons can reproduce biologically. The current generation have only done so once and not amongst themselves — rather producing a Half-Human Hybrid — but their forebears, the Thirteenth Tribe, reproduced amongst their own people all the time — resulting in a self-sustaining purely Cylon population: Cylon kids, Cylon grannies, Cylon aunts, etc. — until they built their own robots and got almost wiped out. The Original Series Cylons were Lizard Folk who turned themselves into robots. Unlike most who do this, they still act just like any normal race, only they happen to be robots. According to Wikipedia, the reptilian Cylons are completely gone extinct after the robot Cylons Turned Against Their Masters, thus every cylon you see on screen is a robot and not a reptile nor even a reptile-cyborg. In the Expanded Universe novels, they go on to have a civil war between the all-mechanical Cylons and the partly-organic Cylons. This gets them off the Colonials' backs for a while, but they fear that whichever side wins will be that much stronger when the war ends and they turn their attention back to humanity.

Spore also has the infamous "Bot Parts Pack", officially available as a US only promotion with soft drink Dr. Pepper (of all things), these versions were limited to people who visited 7/11 stores in 2010 to obtain the codes; it has never been officially released by EA/Maxis since. As the name suggests, it comes with 14 robotic parts to make as many mechanical lifeforms as your heart desires. However, you can download the pack via third party websites, although you may have to fiddle about with it a bit to ensure that it's stable, it functions the exact same as an official version.

What started as ordinary robots in the original series were replaced by the ridiculously human Reploids in the Mega Man X series. After many events and a brush with The End of the World as We Know It, they finally received equal standing with humans in Mega Man ZX, where they started blurring the lines between the two races. A few millennia later, by the time Mega Man Legends rolled in, both humans and sapient robots had pretty much become one species sometime around the extinction of traditional humans in the Legends backstory. Mega Man Legends also include the Reaverbots, which are techno-organic creatures. Even in the Massive Multiplayer Crossover, Namco Ã— Capcom, they were labelled as unknown life forms and distinct from normal robots. The series also demonstrates some very odd background art. In X, for example, humanity has seen fit to construct robotic woodpeckers that pluck robotic worms from robotic trees on robotic cliffs. Yeah.

Indeed, many of them simply act like metallic animals rather than typical robots, being often seen grazing or defending their territory from intruders. The ancient, still functioning factories where they are constructed are referred to as "Cauldrons," and the phenomenon that causes them to go berserk, known as "The Derangement," is seen as something akin to a violent illness or Demonic Possession. It is eventually revealed that most of the machines (specifically the animal shaped ones) are part of a terraforming system once helmed by the AI GAIA and her subordinate functions to reconstruct the earth after it was destroyed by the malfunctioning warmachines (the Corruptors, Deathbringers, and Titans) created by Faro Automated Solutions. The Derangement is caused by the rogue subordinate AI HEPHAESTUS deciding that humans need to stop hunting machines, and the best way to do this is to make the machines more dangerous. He even started creating combat-specialized machines with no purpose but to kill humans.

Mechanical Lifeforms / int_fb9c177d	comment	Transformers contains the most popular examples of this trope. Most versions of the race's origin even hold that they were created by Primus, either a Sufficiently Advanced Alien or an actual god depending on who you ask. Starting with Beast Wars, Transformers even have souls, called "sparks". In the original cartoon, however, the Quintessons (themselves either mechanical or cybernetic) built Cybertron as a factory to produce robot slaves (non-transforming proto-Transformers). The robots rebelled, and kicked the Quintessons off Cybertron. Millions of years later, the Transformers have forgotten all about them, but the Quintessons still want their planet back. This has since been left out of almost all the following continuities, mostly in favour of the Primus origin. Notably, the Transformers Aligned Universe does feature the Quintessons as part of Cybertronian history, but that rather than building them for slave labour, they were an outside alien race who merely enslaved the already existing Cybertronian race and then lied about being their creators before they were rebelled against and kicked off-planet. In the comics, their original backstory was that they evolved from naturally occurring gears, levers and pulleys. Uh... yeeeeeah. This was eventually quietly forgotten in favor of the Primus origin, in which the Transformers were to be his trump card against his Evil Counterpart, Unicron. Oddly, this is superficially similar to an origin provided in an obscure text story from a Japanese magazine. Basically, Cybertron was once a space station that developed sentience, absorbed materials from throughout the galaxy, and eventually changed itself into a planet with robot inhabitants. Transformers: Prime goes into depth about their nature, when the Autobots meet the main human cast for the first time, Raf asks "So, if you guys are robots, who made you?" Ratchet is actually insulted by the implication that they were manufactured. A humorous moment in "Masters and Students" has Jack trying to work on a regular motorcycle and Arcee (a Transformer with a motorcycle as her alt mode) is referring to parts as "doohickey." As Jack points out the irony that she doesn't know how a motorcycle works, she asks if he can replicate a small intestine. "Operation Bumblebee" has Starscream flat out state that what they have is more biology than machinery, as when Bumblebee gets his T-Cog stolen (Transformation Cog) it is stated that it is basically an organ and Ratchet can't just make a replacement from junkyard scrap. This goes further when MECH attempts to use it to build their own transformer, but failing miserably despite everything being mechanically sound. Starscream later clarified that, because it's biology, not just any "fuel" will work with the T-Cog; only Energon will. Given that some parts can be replaced, though, (Starscream gets a new arm at one point) it's probably akin to human prothetics where things like limbs can get replacements but internal organs are a lot harder to do. Another episode of the original series involved a Decepticon and an Autobot ending up with each others transformation cogs. They had to be precisely adjusted in order to work properly (having only allowed unstable, partial transformation before the adjustments), which conforms to the idea that they function similarly to organs. Things like surface plating appear to be fairly easily replicated and replaced. The "cosmic rust" incident began with Megatron having his chest plating damaged by a high speed projectile and Starscream telling him after they got back to base that a replacement would be fabricated "when they get around to it". They even have genetic material, cybernucleic acid (CNA). No, the name doesn't make sense, lay off. The concept of Mechanical Lifeforms having a "genetic" method of reproduction; however, does. This has even been done in Real Life with digital creatures. There are, actually, lots of ways for Transformers to reproduce. It varies between continuities. The Beast Wars era came the closest to explaining how the reproduction happens... at least for the body. Certain devices on Cybertron are capable of manufacturing the bodies, which are used to house the sparks (souls) of other Transformers. These protoforms are vaguely featureless humanoid metal shapes that add on features such as transformations and the resulting kibble from scanning and selecting nearby subjects. The body keeps the spark alive and a transformer's spark can be transferred between bodies (sparkless ones are made for such a purpose). The Spark is the crux of the personality, so a seemingly crotchety old transformer could in fact be quite young, but has an old soul (Tigatron being a perfect example). These bodies are produced by machines on Cybertron but it seems none of the transformers even know how the Sparks come to exist in the first place.
