TFB: Sourcebook - Ch.20: Functionism

TRANSFORMERS BEYOND SOURCEBOOK Chapter XX Functionism Functionism is a belief system and social structure where a Cybertronian’s role in society is defined by their alternate mode. Trucks and construction vehicles are required to engage in manual labor employment for instance, while a proton microscope would be allowed to pursue intellectual pursuits. The doctrine of functionism was inspired by the ideals of the Patterner Movement, a philosopher group that originated from the Age of Origins who believed that a truly ordered society could prevent another Great Cataclysm (an extinction event that killed off the Maximals and the Predacons many millions of years ago).

While science has not fully established where Sparks come from, it is known that Sparks are vital to all Transformers. Essentially, a Spark is a small fragment of as yet unclassified energy. It is not known how or why they are able to grant life to a Cybertronian. All Sparks arose naturally from hot spots dotting Cybertron and its moons, ignited by combined, sporadic energy pulses from the AllSpark and Vector Sigma. These Sparks would be harvested, along with the metal they were born in, and take shape into protoforms. The Spark itself does not rest in any single, set segment of the body; rather, it suffuses its entire being. Upon termination
