[Worldbuilding] Flora of Cybertron
With a word of introduction, it is worth mentioning what "cyberflora" is in general. Plants are primary producers in most terrestrial ecosystems and are the basic link in the food chain in that way or another. This is how things are on both Earth and Cybertron.
Transformers and mechanimals are derived from protoforms created directly by Vector Sigma, but plants are self-sustaining in this case. No life form reproduces sexually, and plants undergo a process that can be called self-fertilization. Some reproduce by pollenation. Pollen is nothing more than a naked or nearly naked, tiny protoform. Then it can rely on either pollinators or the wind. Once it lands in a suitable place, the pollen, like other organisms, will develop an armor, turning into a seed and burrow itself. Others have developed reproduction by dividing the shoot.
The environments on this globe are varied, conditioned by many types of plants, adapted to these conditions. However, there are a few that are at least recognizable almost everywhere.
One example is the Crested Sunflower. The largest and most recognizable part of it, to which it owes its name, is the solar panel which measures 4 to 8 meters in height. Thanks to a mechanized process similar in action to photosynthesis, from the light absorbed, the Sunflowers are able to produce energy that goes to Vector Sigma. The calyx contains energon - nectar - which the Sunflower shares with its pollinators, who, frequenting will spread the pollen so that it eventually lands on the right ground.
Another variety of sunflower is the Table Sunflower. The unusually large form is shaped like a tree, which measures from 30 to as much as 100 meters in height, sometimes even exceeding them. It is rarer and much more tenacious. The Table Sunflower has its solar panels always pointing parallel to the sky, and pollen develops under the plates to let the wind carry it away when its time comes. It performs a function similar to its smaller cousin, energy acquisition for Vector Sigma
According to the prevailing theory, the sunflower flora is one of Vector Sigma's main sources of the energy, which it is able to convert into energon, which then goes into the planet's circulation. For other Cybertronians, these plants are practically inedible and very unpalatable; it is possible to process them into energon essence, but this is controversial due to religious symbolism.
These are most likely the oldest plants created on Cybertron, but not the only ones.
Another example of flora, this time growing underwater, is Fuel Kelp, whose fruits - fuel bulbs - are a common energon. The plant's stem is a tangle of wires and tubes, and its fruits, stores of surplus absorbed nutrients. The fruits are soft and flexible. They reproduce by dividing the shoot, which makes them easy to reproduce artificially. This makes them a staple, fairly inexpensive food for Transformers.
Flower-like plants come in all sorts of shapes and forms, but most of them - at least terrestrial - can be structurally fitted into these types. Some trees will also fit.
The petals can be anther protection or solar panels. If they are armor solar panels usually develop as leaves. Pollen can be deposited on the anthers or directly on the edge of the pistil stigma (also called energon cup or nectar cup).
No ecosystem is free of parasites. Those affecting Cybertron's flora are usually invasive lichens that will digest host metal or virtually suck out energon. This can and will result in plants dying, crumbling and collapsing. Interestingly, some parasites haunting Cybertron will happily settle for the soil itself, which can lead to cracks in the ground, weakening the soil or chewing through root clusters, destroying entire habitats of flora or cocoons.
thank you anon! took me a bit to come up with these because (and i know this may shock you) i am not exactly rich and affluent and used to expensive foodstuffs, so i wasnât sure what to use offhand
(other food posts found in this masterlist: for mobile, for desktop)Â
1) a strange, rare, subterranean cyberflora species, goldleaf produces long delicate ivy strands of golden ore, cascading down and sometimes creating huge nests of golden flakes if left undisturbed for long enough. i based these off of those perfect pencil sharpening moments when youâve managed to create a long thin strip of wood, or peeling apples in one super long coil of skin. this cyberflora will grow around any underground seam of soft metal, but it pops up around gold most often. finding them can be difficult, but harvesting the ivy without the strands breaking or even disintegrating completely is very delicate work. the scarcity and difficulty means a coil of authentic goldleaf ivy atop a dish is an expensive addition
2) these truffles arenât actually grown from cyberflora at all! manganese nodules form naturally in oceans, so theyâre quite plentiful here on Earth. but on Cybertron, where bodies of water are hardly common... letâs just say theyâre a little tough to get. on Eukaris and Caminus, planets with more water, truffles are more common and thus less expensive. theyâre blobs of layered iron and manganese, which is an excellent source of repair material for mecha, and thin slices of these nutritious and delicious truffles are used in very fine, very pricey meals
3) now this one is a little tricky. given the fact that most people consider it barbaric to eat mechanimals, and how mechanimals donât even reproduce, instead emerging from hotspots, caviar on Cybertron is not fish eggs. it does however come from fish! specifically, the orange caviar is from cybersalmon living in the flooded parts of the Rust Sea. when the cybersalmon reach a point in their lifecycle where the corrosion and rust has decayed them too much, they migrate to the closest hotspot, consolidate much of their energon and other precious fluids into beads, and then scatter these beads nearby before dying, so newly forged mechanimals coming from the hotspot will have an immediate source of rich fuel. the beads are, like many things in the sea, stained orange from rust. the black caviar come from sturgeonoids, native to the underground Argon Sea. they donât usually swim in schools, but they do forge minor drones for themselves, essentially becoming a single organism with multiple decoy bodies that they inhabit and control simultaneously. forging a drone takes some time, and it starts with a little bead of condensed energy and material. black caviar is more difficult to harvest, making it more expensive, but both varieties are considered luxurious
4) saffronze isnât a particularly unusual species. there are many types of cyberflora that harvest and forge metals as their ecological niche. but bronze specifically is not a common cyberflora byproduct, and saffronze is not a common species, making it one of the rarer and more âexoticâ cyberflora spices. the thin, tightly woven bronze wires are incredibly high quality, making them an excellent additive to sweet, flavorful dishes. of course, you could just use bronze made in your local smithy, but people claim thereâs a certain zest to genuine saffronze that just canât be copied. the sheer scarcity is what makes it alluring

GUESS WHOâS BACK WITH CYBERTRONIAN FOOD ITâS ME BABY!! And all of them are fruits! You can find all the other food posts in this masterlist here
1) cherry bombs double as both hard candy and festive explosives. Sweet and spicy at the same time, they grow from areas with a lot of sulfur and carbon. Theyâre ready to be picked when the fuses of a cherry bunch unravel from each other to let each cherry swing freely. Sometimes the wind blowing through the branches will knock the cherries together hard enough to detonate one and strip the whole tree in a loud messy chain reaction. Certain mechanimal species like gryphraxi that require ammunition as part of their fuel eat cherry bombs often, otherwise itâs mostly Cybertronians who pick and eat them.
2) sticky little shells of congealed fuels, pistachioils are found exclusively underground, stretching downward like stalactites to collect trickles of oil. The talc shells are edible too, and lend a nice crunch to the sticky oil inside.
3) logginkey plants are one of the rare cyberflora species that donât emerge from a flora hotspot, but instead emerge from one of the datapacket seeds transferred to another plant. Growing on other cyberflora, a logginkey takes energy from its host and in turn acts as a secondary immune system, running through system checks and setting up firewalls. Theyâre a general health station for mechanimals as well, with their flower plugs capable of interfacing with and debugging fauna visiting for a checkup. These mechanimals then take the fruits to eat, and a benign temporary script uploaded by the flower directs them to stick one or two seeds on a different plant somewhere. The seeds are electrified and very sour-sweet, and mecha often take them like supplements. (it was a bit hard to figure out a name for lilikoi, but I figured reversing the order of keylogging would work)
4) thank you to @dear-fellow-travelers for the suggestion! Thereâs a variety of oilmelon types, all derived from the same codeline but developing differently depending on the resources surrounding their hotspot. Cantalubricants are often underground, honeydetergents are common around acid swamps, and papoyleums mostly show up near wellsprings and geysers. Theyâre usually soft on the inside, sweet, and energizing
5) bombegranate trees are ecosystem architects. Their fruit grows up at the very top of the branches, and not long after ripening, explodes outward, sending hard crystal seeds scattering a good ways away and embedding them in the ground with sheer force. These crystal seeds start crystal prairies, and after awhile a single bombegranate can surround itself with a huge radius of wild-growing crystals. The fruits need to be harvested right when they ripen, unless the harvester wants to risk a bomb in the face, and the seeds can be chewed a long time before breaking down because of how hard they are.

@dear-fellow-travelersâ youâre in luck, i needed a cooldown tonight and these served perfectly! i assume the ram-EN also counts as instant food. i was trying to think of some kind of canned soup but aside from vague ideas of oil and antifreeze i got nothin
(other food posts found in this masterlist here)
1) have you ever plugged a hole in a tire with slime? yea, itâs this stuff. make sure you have enough time to eat this, because it will gum up your mouth real good, like slimy peanut butter. the spoon thing that comes with the package is sharp on the edges so you can cut through it rather than trying to scoop
2) proper cafEn is high-charge, high-quality energon along with certain additives that give a long lasting boost of energy. instant cafEn on the other hand is a granulated package that goes in warm regular energon to provide some of that extra energy, with worse taste and sensation. if youâre REALLY insane, you can down the packet like pixie dust and hope for the best
3) polystytoes are blobs of polystyrene ball foam, compacting together and gradually expanding within cracks in the ground. some of them can grow enormous, and more than one road or building has been compromised by tiny spuds eventually growing boulder-sized and destroying the underlying foundation. theyâre a very common and useful fuel source, with one of the simplest ways being grinding them up into loose foam, then later cooking them to make mashed polystytoes. with oil gravy on top, itâs a pretty good meal!
âso while polystytoes are GREAT sources of food, they arenât capable of providing all of a mechâs needsâ is there any cyberflora that is?
not perfectly, no. the combination of energy needs and variety of physical materials for self repair means that no one plant will provide everything, and really that's not what they're meant for. cyberflora, unlike Earth, cannot be domesticated/bred for specific traits. they emerge from a type of hotspot, grown directly from Vector Sigma's design, and aren't easily transplanted. agriculture is... sort of not a thing? you can tend to and harvest from cyberflora, of course, but you can't control where they physically are, how many there are, or what species they are. so while many Earth plants have been carefully cultivated to be as beneficial as possible to humans, cyberflora exists for the "purpose" of continuing the energon cycle and keeping Cybertron healthy.
that said, you can break down what staple materials a mech needs, and then have a selection of different plants that meet those needs, much like how Earth civilizations often had their handful of go-to crops to cover all the nutritional bases. a brollypalm for energon, some oilmelons for coolants, plastics, and lubricants, and a yareta forge for some rarer mineral and metal components would be a good start! you'd need more raw metals in your diet to be properly healthy.
this is kind of a moot point because the majority of fuel doesn't come from cyberflora anyway! cyberflora aren't nearly abundant enough to feed all of Cybertron, and the fruit and other edibles they produce doesn't grow back quick enough. about two-thirds of fuel is raw material mined/gathered/etc from planets or asteroids, the rest is harvested from cyberflora, grown in labs, or recycled from waste. having a diet made of material you can just find in the ground and process from there has its perks sometimes
How big can Oilmelons grow? I'm imagining a Minicon dissapearing inside one.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Iâm going to say a regular oilmelon can grow up to ~12ft/4m in diameter if conditions are absolutely perfect. which, if you look at the chart of size classes here.... you could absolutely make a sparkling crib out of a giant oilmelon rind
