[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] In my Grand Unified Transformers Theory, it goes something like this. The Spark is a bit of -- essentially -- plasma-based genetic/soul/personality/whatever material (still working on better defining that). It is a glimmer of the Allspark, being the energy within Primus, a.k.a. Vector Sigma. Besides providing energy for their bodies, energon keeps the Spark going. It's like RAM -- if the power goes out, whatever was encoded in the Spark is gone forever. As with Terran sexual reproduction, where a half-portion of genetic material from each parent is combined to make a new individual, so can two Cybertronian parents combine portions of their Sparks to create a new one, which then inplants into a new body, whether grown or built or whatever (still working on this aspect, too). When the Quints came along, part of their subjugation included trying to erase the Cybertronians' racial memory of a time before the Quintessons, and thus set themselves up as gods and creators. Whether a result of their own quasi-organic nature or what, they were able to build Cybertronians with vaguely Sparklike life essences, although not completely sentient (the Guardian robots, various drones, etc.), but so thoroughly brainwashed the Cybertronians, even their natural offspring were considered part of the Quints' greater abilities to create life. Even much later, Cybertronian scientists and engineers were able to replicate their work (cf. Wheeljack and the Dinobots). Another way is to directly infuse constructed bodies with a portion of the Allspark, either directly from Primus, or via the fragment of Its essence -- the Prime Matrix. As for the later scarcity of female Cybertronians (transforming or not), millions of years of civil war had a damaging effect on the less durable portion of a sexually-dimorphic species. A lot of males who were either unable or unwilling to fight -- like Orion Pax -- would have been weeded out, too. But only the tougher females would have survived to the present, like Arcee, Elita-One, Moonracer, Chromia, and so on. And no, that isn't what I think Optimus and Elita were doing in "The Search for Alpha-Trion". Although they did kiss (awkwardly, with that damn faceplate in the way) in the original two-part version of it that I really wish I'd had a VCR for at the time. *grump* --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
