When a Transformer's body can no longer support its spark, it is "extinguished" and the Transformer is considered dead. Sparks can be safely stored in stasis pods, "frozen" within photonic crystals, or even transplanted from one body to another with no ill effects, but they are susceptible to weaponsfire and exotic forms of radiation. In most realities, Cybertronian reproduction involves the creation of a new spark, whether through sacred implements or more conventional means, which can be implanted into a suitable body to become a new Transformer. To protect their sparks, which usually can't survive outside of a compatible body for very long, most Cybertronians possess a specialized "spark chamber" somewhere in their body.Ī spark contains the hard-coded design schematics that act as a Transformer's "genetic code", which dictates a Transformer's appearance and sometimes even their alternate modes. Indeed, most Cybertronian religions hold that each spark contains an infinitesimally small portion of Primus's divine essence. Like a heart, a Spark "pulses" at a certain frequency to animate a mechanical bodyframe like a soul, a spark is generally accepted to contain some part of a Transformer's immaterial being, which persists after death by transcending into the afterlife. Sparks come in a wide range of colors-though most are some shade of blue, green, yellow, orange, white, or even red sparks have all been observed-but while their appearances may vary, every spark functions as a combined heart and soul for an individual Cybertronian. The spark is the core of Transformer life, an electrically charged mass of positrons formed from the supernatural substance known as Rarified Energon.
