News Files - Transformers Forging
Forging is the natural way Cybertronians are created. An energy pulse from Vector Sigma flashes across Cybertron or one of its moons, igniting a hot spot where new sparks emerge. When Sentio Metallico is added via a process known as "the nurturing", it coalesces around the spark to become a protoform. Beginning as a simple geometric shape, the protoform develops into a mature Cybertronian through a process known as "deep-coding".
By following instructions hard-coded within the spark, it develops basic limbs and facial features, eventually manifesting internal components, such as a vocal synth; and external ones, such as wings, which will give definition to their eventual alternate mode. Cybertronians grow extremely fast, from the first "first flash", a spark takes a mere two weeks to develop into a full-fledged Cybertronian. The protoform-to-Cybertronian phase takes between two and five days.
