The Energon Pub

UMMMMmmmm, You've got to kidding right???

I love Transformers as much as the next fan, but on this thread I have to ask... Why do we care??

This is right up there with Brody in Mallrats asking Stan Lee if The Things "dork is made of orange rock too?" and can "Mr. Fantastic stretch EVERY part of his body?"

As the esteemed Mr. Lee said, "Some things are super hero secrets." I think that we should take the same route here.

Instead of wasting time thinking about Transformers reproducing, use that energy to hook up with a fellow human.

Just a thought...

Exactly. It's also because the new lfie is being created from life, not from dead parts.

Yes it is, but why do we bother? Because we like to. It's fun to and intellectually stimulating.

I didnt say "why do we bother?" I said "why do we care?" And as far as fun and intellectually stimulating...

1) It's fiction, so anyone can say or write anything. Who is to say which is true and whats accurate?? You could debate till the the Energon Cows come home.

2) There will NEVER be a definitive answer to this question... Heck, I thought in the Transformers Ultimate Guide it says that the Cybertronians are manufactured and embued with a "Spark," which is a part of a greater whole (the Spark of Primus). It also says that there is truely NO GENDER on Cybertron, whether they are Fem or Male is a choice...and they even say "no one really knows why there are Fems in a society devoid of gender."

But obviously there are branches of fiction out there that take a different approach. From that I say this...a blaspheme to some I am sure; ALL are right... NONE are right. The possibilities are as vast as our imaginations, but at the end of the day we're not behind the helm of the industry and legend we know and love called Transformers. When Hasbro or Takara calls me up and tells me I am getting a small fortune to figure it out...I'll make sure to use all the time and energy I can to come up with something

On that note, I will bow out of any further additions to a debate concerning the reproduction of fictional beings....God, knows its hard enough getting a woman with a room full of Transformers without talking about how they reproduce

Does it really matter why we care? We just do.

Why is this even a discussion again. We know how they're made. They're built and programmed as I just said, and we have a whole 400+ Post topic on the Cartoons/Comics forum about it. You know, where we proved beyond a shadow of a doubt (As if it weren't already bloody obvious) that Transformers can't have sex. Far out, what is with the number of morons on this board who think robots can engage in sexual intercourse? It's a pretty bloody obvious answer of hell no, they can't sexually reproduce, and as we've been shown an obscene number of times, they're built by other Transformers. WE've never had it stated explicitly that they get pregnant or whatever. As I said in the other thread, a bed ridden FEMALE WARRIOR is no use to anyone.

Damolisher, If you can't add anything constructive to the discussion, then please, don't get involved. Whether you want to believe that TransFormers can't reproduce through any other means than being built from protoforms is your choice, The rest of us here in this discussion wish to discuss other possibilities. If you caanot contribrute without spouting off about what can't be done, or what's impossible, please leave the discussion.
And, no, you did not prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that they can't reproduce sexually. There is enough evidence to suggest that they can. If you don'ty want to accept that, fine, but let those of us that do accept it disuss our theories in peace.

Hey Adolf, how about we stop telling me what to do? It doesn't even need to be a discussion, because you have to be pretty stupid to think Transformers can f*ck. And we did conclusively prove it, based on the fact all you seemed to do was backpeddle and shill non-canon bullshit and attempt to connect all continuities when it's impossible, and poo-poo anything that proved your moronic theory wrong.

Damolisher wrote:Hey Adolf, how about we stop telling me what to do? It doesn't even need to be a discussion, because you have to be pretty stupid to think Transformers can f*ck.

Whether you think it should or should not be a discussion is completely irrelelvant. If other people want to discuss it let them.
Who are you to tell people what they can and cannot discuss or what should or should not be discussed.

Uh, it doesn't need to be discussed. That's like me trying to discuss what happened to Starscream after he got killed by Galvatron in the Movie. We know what happened, it's been shown to us what happened, and there's no discussion full stop.

Also, stop bolding random words in your posts. This isn't a comic. You tell me off for typing in caps, how about you stop bolding? Glyph told you off about it in the CC forum.

Whether you think that it doesn't need to be discussed is irrelevant Don't you get it the rest of us want to discuss it! If you don't like the discussion don't get involved. No one is forcing you to participate. you can leave the thread any time you wish, but don't stop the rest of us from discussiing this subject. It is not your place to decide for the rest of us what does or does not need to be discussed based upon your narrow view of the TransFormers.

OK, outta curiosity, do you practise being a moron, or does it just come naturally? YOU CAN'T DEBATE SOMETHING WHICH HAS BEEN PROVEN WRONG! Bloody hell, how stupid can one person be?

And stop bolding! It's disruptive!

No, Damolisher screaming in all capital letters is disruptive. Nothing has been proven wrong. If you can't participate leave. All you are doing is being a troll. You are derailing a friendly discussion with your tirade abourt what cannot be done, and what it impossible by your narrow definition because TrasnFormers are nott organic. get over yourself. Either particiapte constructively or leave the discussion. Whether or not TransFormers can or cannot reproduce sexually is not the point of this discussion. This discussion is theories about how it would work based upon the premise that they can. You don't have to participate but don't go telling people that they cannot discuss something or that something does not need to be discussed. Enough people want to discuss this subject, therefore, ther is a need to discuss it. If you don't like th subject, don't participate in the discussion.

I quit. YOu're too much of a bloody imbecile to tell anything to. Your parents obviously drop your on your head when you were a kid on too many times, or your head's up your arse,one of the two. But I'm sick of proving you wrong only to get Gettysburg addressed at in your condesending posting manner, when you're the onyl one who's getting everything wrong around here, you Pat Lee-Crotch sniffing LOSER!

Take care.

actually what you managed to prove was that they dont sexually reproduce the same way we do, which was a point we never argued, it was just something that your narrow mind couldn't comprehend!

They probably don't try to reproduce during wartime. All the branches of the U.S Military have female soldiers in them, and they make sure they don't do anything that could make them get pregnant. If they get pregnant, they get discharged. So I imagine the female Tfs who are involved in war take great pains to ensure that they do not become pregnant, and during that time they may even become celebate(sp?) to prevent any chance.

Actually, female soldiers who get pregnant do not get discharged. They simply get desk duty until the baby is born and their maternity leave is over. Then they go right back to their normal duties. I knew quite a number of women in my units who had babies when I was in the Army. Not one was discharged for it. Back in the days of the Korean War, they would have been discarged, but not nowadays.

As to the issue about bed-ridden female warriors, most likely they would not be bedridden anyway. Look at most female mammals. They don't become bed-ridden. female predators like lionesses still go out hunting while pregnant. They don't get overly large to where it interferes either. Why would a pregnant Fembot be any different. If the offspring is small enough, pregnancy shouldn't impede the fem in the least.

And even that was not really proven.

Yeah, it was proven they don't, (Any of my friends who I've asked what they think about Transformers having sex have looked at my like I was high.) and all Tramp had was doingwas backpeddling, and poiecing together halftruths. And Thruster, don't tell me I've got a narrow mind. Honestly, who the hell thinks a robot can have sex? How utterly stupid do you have to be? We've been shown over and over again Transformers are made of metal and circuits, and have no organic parts. This shouldn't even be here anymore. Stop trying to argue the bloody point, it's obvious they can't have sex, as I've proven before, and only a moron would think they do.

A life form does not have to be organic to reproduce through sexual means. That is the biggest flaw in your argument. Being robotic and being capable of sexual reproduction are not mutually exclusive from one another. That is being extremely narrow minded. Therefore, no, it is not "obvious" that they can't have sexual reprductive capability. The very fact that they are living beings with genders, that engage in courtship, marriage and have families, is proof enough that they may indeed be capable of sexual reproduction.

Secondly, the whole point of this discussion is not to argue whether or not it is possible. The point of this discussion is based on the premise that it is possible, and to provide various theories on how it works.

Seriously, lay off the random bolding. It's even worse than my all caps. It doesn't make you sound smarter, it's just hella annoying. You've been todl not to do it by Glyph (Who is a mod) before.

It's not narrow-minded, it's called not being a moron who thinks things with computers can have sex. You can't store fluids or anything near a computer, meat head. They're machines, made of machinery. And here's how Transformers reproduces: They create a new Transformer out of metals, circuits, computers, and other things such as personality components and vehicle parts, and are programmed with Vector Sigma or the Creation Matrix. We are shown this many times in Transformers Lore. Are we ever shown Transformers being born? No. You'd think they'd mention it in the Ultimate Guide about "Transformer birth" but they don't. (It wouldn't be an ultimate guide if it neglected any part of Transformer history!) And we never hear any Transformer mention being bor. That ALONE makes this a pointless, deceased argument.

Tramp, your problem is you like to feed people hearsay, conjecture and half truths. You're like a Lawyer, only more annoying. The difference is, I feed Seibertron a healthy dose of Truthflakes, Truthbubbles, TruthBix, Truthy Charms and Truthios.

First off, none of my bolding is random. It is very precisely chosen to emphasise key words and phrases, which is the whole intent of bold type.

No. It is being narrow-minded. Yes, water-based fluids or electrolitic fluids can cause damage to circuitry, but not certain other types, like silcon gels and certain oils. Theoretical self-replicating nanomachines will most likely be kept in a liquid or gel-like environment. Secondly, The use of factory-built protoforms imbued with a spark is not the only possible method this has specifically been stated in canon. There are other untapped methods of reproduction which do not require building a body from parts.

Also, just because we don't see something, or it isn't specifically stated, does not mean it is impossible. We haven't met extraterrestrial life yet. Does that mean they don't exist? No. It doesn't. People used to believe that the sound barrier could never be broken simply because it hadn't been. Chuck Jaeger (SP?) proved it could be broken. Enough canon evidence exists in the various canon sources to suggest it is possible. From the courtships of the various G1 couples, to the Lithonians, to Victory (manga), to Beast Wars to the DW G1 comics, particularly MtMtE #8, and the Ultimate Guide, They all provide evidence—little pieces of the puzzle—that when put together, do suggest that it is possible. There are other untapped methods for creating new life besides factory-built protoforms. That is just the most common method in G1. There is nothing in canon that says it is impossible for TransFormers to breed, to reproduce through sexual means. You, and you alone are the only one saying it is impossible and not letting the rest of us discuss a subject we choose to.

On top of that, no, you are not feeding Seibertron truth. You are forcing your narrow views about TFs down people's throats and lambasting anyone who dares to disagree with your narrow views. You are trolling. You are not contributing to the discussion. You are trying to kill the discussion because you, and you alone, don't see a need for it and don't want others to discuss it.

Yeah, I don't see a need because it's ;pointless. It's like trying to argue with whether God was alive in 1980. He wasn't, and we know it, there's no proof he was, so why argue about it? Once again, Tramp, half truths, as always. Your guide doesn't state it, as it WOULD IF TRANSFORMERS COULD HAVE SEX, since it's not really a book for kids, is it? Your manga is about as Canonas the TV commercials for the toys, which aren't canon, and MTMTE DOESN'T APPLY TO ANYTHING, as Glyph and I have opointed out to you so many times it's ridiculous. Look, I can tell from every topic you get into debates over you're a onetrack minded stooge who thinks he's right all the tinme, from the first topic like this, to the Starscream's spark topic in which you're wrong about it being about all continuities when it's clearly about the cartoon, to this topic, to the topic in the movie forum you caused to get locked because "Duh, Soundwave has to be a Tapedeck!"

Once again though Damolisher, just because you think it is pointless does not mean that everyone does or should. The person who started this thread certainly doesn't, and the mods have no problem with this discussion so, why should you? If you think it is pointless the don't participate. No one is forcing you to participate in this discussion. Just hit unsubscribe. Just let those of us who want to discuss this subject do so in peace.

And you prove how completely ignorant you are AGAIN! There IS no thread subscribing here, dumbarse. And even if there was, I wouldn't be subscribed to this. You're only telling me to go because once again, I'm right. This discussion is over, you lose, much like you do in every day life!
