In Beast Wars the maximals and predacons transform into cyborgs, with their internal machinery being coated by a fully organic shell. This is why they don't get hit by raw energon radiation in beast mode.We also know for a fact they can eat and process calories in this mode.So my question is this: can they have offspring with other animals of that species?
>>150164731No, because they have cyber nanoalgorithms instead of DNA. They're silicon based lifeforms, not carbon based. There's a complete molecular mismatch.The upgraded cybertronians from Beast Machines might be able to interbreed with each other, though
>>150164865This is a much more informed response than I was going to give OP.
>>150164865algorithms are software, silicon arranged in the form of DNA would be nanofibers
>>150164865>>150164894My assumption was any DNA they'd have would be essentially copied from the animals they scanned.>The upgraded cybertronians from Beast Machines might be able to interbreed with each other, thoughI'd hope so, otherwise they're going to struggle to grow the population.
tigatron was in a gay relationship with a tiger
>>150164894Correct, the algorithms are essentially data stored in the cells of a cybertronian's body. They dictate the placement of limbs, energon vessels, and the like, but are not actually a tangible thing so much as a program.
>>150165174Yeah but he was also in a straight relationship with Air Razor.
>>150164731>can they have offspring with other animals of that species?what would happen to their spark?
>>150164865Really early on, Cheetor mentions to Tarantulas that he doesn’t even have real blood, just “mech fluid”. So while the skin is synthetic, I imagine any bodily fluids would also be synthetic at best
>>150164731I think you are confusing this with Beast Machines anonThey are closer to Synths in Alien
>>150166207They still have organic shells in Beast WarsThere's the whole Rhinox getting gas episodeAnd Megatron's subplot in Beast Machines is that he goes full master race but he himself is tainted with organics and periodically loses control of himself until he separates the organic into it's own body Savage/NobleAnd he never went through the reformatting
>>150166450>There's the whole Rhinox getting gas episodeYou think cars don't release gas?Like I said anon, they are synths from Alien, go look up what that is
