Some terms...
Ravage's ending from the Transmetals game:
So the term 'transreplication' seems to fit into normal TF replication in Beast-Era. (I'm cautious about that, but I don't see any other conclusion...) The term has to be in there SOMEWHERE at least.
And in the Young Corgi TF books, Hot Rod says he was Matrixed, whichs eems to be the proper term, despite taking place after the Matrix left on the Ark. (Blaster's less than 4 million years old too, so clearly this is POSSIBLE...)
Oh, and YET ANOTHER retellign of TF means of reproduction that leaves out the EXPLICIT DESCRIPTION of how new TF's are made from Dreamwaves MTMTE. Yaay! Oh sure, it's only been out there for 3 years, but I still run into people who insist on having passionate discussions about how this sort of thing works, insisting they're right- who've never heard of the Dreamwave version. Which is STARTLINGLY SIMILAR to the Transmaters version, and also fits the terminology of the Young Corgi version.
It's an uncomplicated scenario that actually AGREES WITH THE FANNON. Am I really being unrealistic to say 'Gosh, I really wish we'd gotten the one explicit explanation of TF reproduction up here on the first try?' (clearly, I'm being picky) -Derik 06:19, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
Not up on Masterforce. How exactly do the Transectors there gain life, as that should be referenced as well.
In RiD, does it actually say that Prime and Magnus were re-built from existing robots at any point? I recall Prime saying he and Magnus were "created by Alpha Trion," but don't have tapes on me to check. -128.239.180.231 20:27, 26 October 2006
Where does the part about the Matrix Flame being able to create life and being used to make Magnus come from. I've heard it before , but I looked through Target 2006 and I don't see it in there. All that is shown in there is that the Matrix Flame acts as an "indicator light" for the status of the matrix. There's nothing about it creating life or Magnus that I can see.

In the g1 epesode City of Steel Side Swipe makes Starscream "say Uncle" and then remarks that he didn't know Decepticons had uncles? Should this be taken as more than a joke, does this mean Autobots have families and Decepticons don't?
Just a quick question:
For those of you who don't frequent the Transformers section of Fanfiction.net, "sparkling" is a fandom term for a Transformer baby or child. I was wondering if there is a similar term used in official fiction anywhere to describe "child" transformers, like Wheelie or that Lithion kid shown on in the article? --Nightshade83
Why the hell do ROBOTS have genetic material? Even if Furman never passed high school biology, a quick wiki search would do a lot to counter that theory! Sorry, I'm just frusterated when the people that are supposed to be professional writers do less research than fan fiction writers. You would think "professional" would indicate a level of quality. --Nightshade83 16:23, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Shouldn't we add something about the hatchlings from RotF? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 173.71.116.203 (talk • contribs) 19:34, 4 July 2009.
I know this should probably be mentioned on a "references in popular culture"-type page but I couldn't find it... Anyway on an episode of an anime series known as Panty & Stocking, which parodied Transformers (episode name: Transhomers), it shows what appears to be a visual explanation of Transformer reproduction. Though it is just for laughs, I believe it might probably deserve a mention here or most likely on your list of "references in popular culture"-type page. You can watch the video here on youtube to see that I am not a lying dimwit. I apologize again if this was a waste of your time. -24.139.80.64 21:04, 18 November 2010 (EST)
In IDW we have those terms to refer to Transformers (re)production. It appears that they are assembled, or at least it sounds like they are manufactured in a factory, to me, but I don't want to make any premature assumptions. It seems that medics were forged(or the best medics were) and that Ironfist was "Constructed Cold" (See Chaos Theory Part 1; MTMTE #4, The Last Stand of The Wreckers)[1] . -- Anonymous 8:10, 21 April 2012 (CET)
The "Budding" term always seemed really lightweight to me, especially for such an intense phenomenon. ("Fission" seems like a better term to me.) I was happy to find the term "bio-morphic reproduction" referenced in the article about G1 Mutants. That article cites an interview with Simon Furman in which the interviewer and SF both use the term "Bio-Morphic" in reference to G2's "Budding" and the Mutants being a by-product of that process. Shouldn't the term "Bio-Morphic Reproduction" be mentioned in the "Budding" section of the Reproduction article? Especially considering that the Mutant (G1) article uses the term explicitly as a link to the Reproduction article, but does NOT link directly to the "Budding" section. :-/ - Grebo Guru (07/09/2013)
According to Tyrest, they were stockpiling new sparks from the Matrix faster than they could build new bodies. So even though the Matrix vanished during Nova Prime's reign, they may have continued pumping out "Constructed Cold" Cybertronians for some time after that. (Especially since they couldn't actually acknowledge publically that the Matrix was missing.) So we don't know WHEN the last Constructed Cold 'bot finally rolled off the assembly line, except that by the time of Nominus Prime's assassination, Senator Shockwave had begun lobbying for a return to the Spark-Splicing program. So all Constructed Cold 'bots definitely predate Sentinel Prime, but may have continued coming alive for some time during Nominus Prime's reign. --Xaaron (talk) 08:29, 21 November 2013 (EST)
We're getting more and more information about the IDW birthing process. Is it time to consider splitting these concepts onto a separate page(s), instead of redirecting into the Reproduction article?
Similar question: more and more robots are getting ID'ed as Forged or Constructed Cold. Do we want to continue listing all the revelations in paragraph form, or shift it into a list format? --Xaaron (talk) 08:34, 10 July 2014 (EDT)
I think the IDW section should be moved to the infusion section because you need a spark from the matrix or vector sigma, you can't just build a body and turn it on. It seems to be more along the lines of the aerialbots and stunticons creation which is covered in the infusion section. omegatron (talk) 08:47, 8 March 2015 (EDT)
Doesn't Megatron mention at some point that the Constructicons were built in a cave?--RedWingGladiator (talk) 13:20, 28 May 2016 (EDT)
There's an inconsistency with these two, as both are listed as Outliers, and I cannot imagine Skywarp in particular to NOT be an outlier, but they're also listed as first wave constructed cold. I can't find any evidence of being names as Outliers (beyond being able to teleport), or any evidence of being constructed cold (Beyond looking exactly like Starscream etc, who we know WAS constructed cold)--Pit_fishes (talk) 13:07, 22 Jan 2018 (GMT)
