"There are multiple ways to a Cybertronian can be born, young one. The first, most natural way is called "forging". That is where an energy pulse from Vector Sigma would emit worldwide, and a hotspot . The sparks and base substance - the
sentio metallico, if you will - would be sought out and harvested from the living metal of Cybertron or its moons or its colonies. The harvested sparks would then be matured via a process , and the
sentio metallico would coalesce around a spark to form a protoform. beginning as a simple geometric shape, it would take two days for the protoform to gradually mature into a new Cybertronian. Usually, protoforms first grow limbs and basic facial features and eventually manifest features related to their natural alternate mode by following the genetic instructions hard-coded into their spark. After fully solidifying and cooling, the young Cybertronian imprints on its surroundings to learn how to walk and communicate with their brethren. The full nurturing and maturation process can be completed in less than two weeks after the spark's first flash.
Of course, young one, there is another way, called "cold construction". It is a method of creating Cybertronians where the sparks would be generated from the Matrix of Leadership or an Energon Matrix; it would be produced at such a rapid rate that the sparks would have to be stockpiled until new bodies could be constructed. Their energies would be frozen in photonic crystals, which would be placed inside the new bodies to thaw out, which is why we call them "constructed cold". Matrix-derived sparks, did you know, contain the same genetic instructions as naturally occurring ones, but are unable to reshape their pre-constructed bodies in accordance with the aforementioned instructions, leaving cold constructed Cybertronians with different bodies from which their sparks intended." - Emperor Megatron.
"Megatron, could you describe the experience of first coming into contact with Lugnut? I do remember you saying he reminded you of me. I'm not familiar with him so describe how so?"

"He was one of my first soldiers to sign up to the Decepticon cause back when I was a gladiator in the pits of Kaon after my impeachment as Prime Minister of Tarn. He wasn't... the sanest nor the brightest 'bot I'd ever met, but he was, and still is, extremely loyal, and very powerful too,
yesss. That's why I had him enlist to become a Phase-Sixer when the infiltration protocol had began." - Emperor Megatron.

"Zhere is a rather vell known ballad from my planet zhat we use to torture zhe most heinous of pwisoners. I vould like you or someone else zhere to give it a listen, and tell us vether you zhink it is a mowal form of punishment. Note zhat I cannot efen listen to it vithout being in pain, so I recommend, just to be safe, making someone else do it and reporting zhe findings. Zhe file I send is called "It'sEverydayBro.mp3" and it's sung by a human named Jake Paul. Ve do not take wesponsibility for his existance, he is not even fwom our countwy."
