Description
I've never liked the fandom-loved head-cannon of Sires and Sparklings. (And each cannon series/comic respectively has given numerous origins, some that even contradict each other, or that in my opinion are overly complex) So I've selected from each, (elements taken from Beast Wars, Transformers G1, TFA, TFP) and created the most simplified, streamline, encompassing diagram I could, and broke it down into four stages. To simplify the process, and I provided a rough ruler with high charts (the ruler is not 100% accurate, but I did what I could. This origin will matter in the telling of my Character Highwire (which is something I'm working on, check out the first Part here.)Obvious Disclaimer is Obvious: This is just my head-cannon, and is not cannon to any one series (although this is heavily supported by canonically held ideas)

About child transformers being built or forge. Change my mind. I like to think that Transformers can make sparklings by printing them out from their optics. One mate give his or her mate a floppy dics or whatever that has his/her coding and the other process both their's and their mates coding. Baby Transformers can take care of themselves, but require protection, teaching and supervision.

Transformers in my mind are a species of pure practicality. Their bodies, minds, forms, and their entire culture are built to serve a certain purpose. They show no hesitation to change their own bodies, other's bodies, and things around them to suit their needs. Infants and infancy is not practical. IF humans had the ability to grow up instantly, be an adult, and already know everything they need to know for a career and be optimized for that career they would do so. Especially when you consider that Transformers have been waring for centuries, the idea of having infants being born/made intentionally, while a much more practical and humane method is available makes no sense.
Babies are expensive and require attention, care, and resources for many many years.
Humans appreciate and embrace the good things in childhood, but that is also because it is unavoidable and important for Human development. Transformers are large robots, Titans, aliens. They are not humans. The only reason the idea of sparklings exists is that it's cute to draw a robot/character we're familiar with as an infant or imagine them at an earlier stage in their development. Because that's a very human thing to do, it's a way we try and relate to these clearly alien characters.
However, I think that transformers are not meant to be related to, or chibified, or fetishized, for their bodies. We relate to them as characters, not for their bodies, but their personalities, struggles, and character growth. Which has nothing to do with their infancy.

Well it's my headcanon and we don't have to relate to them completly, but just a little to meduim amount. Actually Wheelie himself is a child and Slipstream ( RID15) was shown as a kid in Slipstream Tradgey. Also I don't see a childhood as only a human thing. They maybe robots, but they are also living organism too. I doubt that even they know everything, so childhood is important to them too. Also not all babies are the same. Some babies don't require alot of care. They weren't always in war. They can have kids after the war is over. Also the stuff that you mention doesn't make sense. Just because they can change their own bodies doesn't mean that infancy doesn't make sense. Read what you wrote, doesn't make sense to me. Them being aliens means nothing. If they don't need childhood, then why not make lots of protoforms. Why are some born as kids.

Is the "Aftermath form" like an Action Master form? Since I thought Beast Era Bots where much smaller.

Since I'm using my own OC for this Diagram, in stage 4 (which is after she's fully developed) she makes the choice to downgrade herself and remove her own Tcog. This conscious decision results in a drastic change to her body, hence stage 4.

Sounds lot like Action Masters..... they used a mysterious fuel that modifies there bodies, making them stronger, faster, but also slightly smaller and unable to transform. (The apperance infact is more anthropomorphic much like your OC) www.youtube.com/watch?v=fc-D_e…

I tried to use the older origins of the transformers (beast wars, G1, Masterforce, headmasters, etc.) to make this headcanon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Action masters is part of G1 cannon. The Toys came out in 1990 so is counted as the last Original G1 line of toys. As after them G2 happened 1993 and then Beast Wars 1996.

Glad to know I sort of marked it right.

"aftermath" form is basically when a bot is born and later in life they make a decision to drastically change their body, via magical modification or otherwise. Most bots stay in the "Full Development State" Their entire lives and never alter their form, but a good many will go through dramatic bodily changes. Like you mentioned beast wars, each character (save for Rhinox and Dinobot) changes body several times. So all of them proceeded into stage 4.

Interesting take on things! I like how even when they're "babies" they're huge compared to us tiny fleshlings. XD

As expected I would think.

Same here. I don't mind child Transformers, but they should be forge or cold constructed like the adults.

I prefer the adults personally.

Well adults don't require a lot of care.

I like this theory!
Though I gotta admit personally I'm super confused over how I want to think about this ... sparklings yeah I do like the idea of them, but as to HOW they come to be ... that's another issue...
and since I'm not too familiar with the canon stuff I've made up some sort of a mix match theory, but this seems a bit more based than mine...

I think sparklings could work, but I'm not sure how anyone would do it. I needed something simple for the story I'm doing so I broke it down for myself.

I think the idea of a new spark emerging and then grown in a smaller cell until it's mature enough for upgrades works... but yeah some of the fandom ideas don't fit with me either

KingRebecca made a really interesting Theory for the Beast War's community on how Predacons were born using the egg idea, so I guess it could work.

Hmm interesting! but it works...

This is a really interesting theory, or all the ones I've come across, it suits the TF verses really well! It's a shame the creators of TFs never really confirmed anything about creation in more detail, then again, I like being able to speculate and read other's ideas about how it's all done. c:

They've made lots of origins and some that contradict each other as well. For the story I'm doing I need something streamline so I put together something simple.

I had hoped so. I need a simpler diagram for what I'm working on.

Well I'm glad to see a lovely picture with info on the creation of the Cybertornian race ^^ amazing picture as always Sky

I can dig this headcanon. It’s a helluva lot less brainhurty than most of the fandom’s theories.

I was hoping for that, thank you!

Do the protoforms grow into their fully developed state or are they put in an empty suit of armor and fill it out from there? What do you think?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think a protofrom can scan an Alt mode/designated form and then grow into it. Since we've seen Transformers do that lots of times. And it's never been that they needed outside material to change into an alt mode. They're body just adjusts to it. Size and density seems to be relative with the material they're made of, (since you see lots of Transformers transform into things much smaller/larger than you'd expect, all the time.)
Although I'd imagine that if you're a protoform, it's important to find an Alt Mode/form as soon as possible, since your spark is exposed, and in general you don't have any sort of protection yet. We've seen Protoforms transported in the past, without sparks in them. So under this Headcannon I would venture to say that Cyber-matter may be changed into the body of a protoform, before a spark is placed inside. (for those special case body types.)

The laws of mass do not apply to Cybertronians clearly XD It's just interesting to see since the cyber-mass and protoform are basically doll sized by comparison to the average Cybertronian, and the jump from protoform to Highwire's fully developed flyer form is impressive so it just got me pondering. Maybe that's part of the reason protoforms can't talk yet; they're more or less just fancy containers for the spark, not much room for other important things like engines or voice boxes, etc. till they get their final form.

I imagined that their voice and other equipment would be subject to their mode of choice, so having that before would be too soon

That makes sense as well o:
