Fowler got seriously hurt when he came into contact with energon.
When did that happen? You're not talking about that cattle prod thing Starscream used on him, are you? That was an Energon weapon, but there's a huge difference between just a sharp of Energon, and a shard that's been weaponized.

And? The effects of raw Energon covered the entire planet, that's why they needed Beast modes. Even so, the Maximals and Predacons are shown getting close to it in Beast mode, so even at close range it doesn't effect their organic components.

You can't know what the effects of energon will be.
Yeah we do. Overexposure causes damage to non-organic beings, but organic beings are shown to be completely unharmed by it. Both the Maximal and Predacon ships used shields to protect against it, so they could stay in robot mode unharmed on their ships.
