The BASIS I guess?: The Clone Army is massive, with hundreds of legions and units. But so do the Separatists. So secret legions are nothing new… but these two are definitely something else…

Yes I’m still in this fandom lmfao just not as hyperfocused on it

Created in a process that is fundamentally similar to becoming sparkmates but with drastically different intents(and results ofc).

By momentarily joining and combing sparks, data on both parents’ frames, abilities and maybe even personality traits are shared and mixed together as the Carrier/host spark holds the Sparkling’s spark or sparks as it develops. (Which a carrier/host is pretty much randomly chosen really.) Once it is far along and strong enough, the spark(s) are removed from the carrier/host spark and placed within a specialized containment unit thats loosely shaped like a pod; allowing the newly developed spark to generate its own body, using the data obtained from both parents to create a unique build with distinct traits from both parents, sometimes even while new traits neither have. A process that takes a few weeks to a month to complete.

Once the body is finished developing the pod opens on its own in most cases. Sometimes, though rarely needing to physically be pried open. Once out of the pod the sparkling is physically equivalent to a very small cybertonian with softer, less complex features, usually lacking the sharp angles ‘adults’ may have.

The sparkling, much like human children, is very impressionable in the early years of its life. Alongside that, sparklings are small and very frail for the first few years of its life. Slowly developing a harder, more armor like frame as it gets older. Although they can walk with relative ease the moment it’s removed from the pod; most sparklings need time to develop their speech.

However in the current society it’s not uncommon for a newly developing spark to be removed from its carrier very early on and having its coding completely reworked and modified so that the sparkling develops the way it’s modifier’s want it to. Even skipping the process of the sparkling growing to full size altogether. Although this can have some negative effects on the carrier since the developing spark is usually forcefully torn out of the host spark as it’s too weak and underdeveloped to be anywhere else. Which is why it’s not uncommon for the very prematurely removed spark to dim and fizzle away before it can be properly stabilized so it can continue to develop externally, post having its code modified and altered.

The process of creating a new spark is also being made synthetic in current times, completely disregarding the need for a carrier and sire. Although like the act of prematurely removing a developing spark can likely end in failure. Or a synthetic cybertronian that is improperly developed which in many cases causes constant physical pain.

Which if I do a written series starring my TFA characters I do plan to tie in these concepts somehow. Mainly the more horrifying concept of them trying to synthetically create life from nothing.
