Ecology of the Transformers

 A happy new year!
 How was your winter vacation?
 This week, I'll introduce the Transformer as a kind of life.
 Transformers has complicated tissue. And they have  real reasons for transforming.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 At first, what do you think are the Transformers' body made of? Almost of you will say "metal". Exactly, metal is metal. But the metal isn't on the Earth. Though there are various views, the metal is called "Cybertronium". The Transformer have complicated body made of this. And there is most important constituent for them. It is the "Spark". This is what is called the "soul" of the Transformers. They can't be alive without the Spark.  This is a valuable movie when the Transformer dies. This movie tells us what's the Spark for them.

  Next is the mecanism of transforming. The reasons for transforming are for mimicry or for efficient movement. First, they scan an object what they're going to transform. And second, change their body to new one suitable for transforming. This is the basic pattern of scanning. From beginning they has original form to transform, but they can't transform other vehicles and animals in other planet without scanning. The next movie (especially ~0:30) shows scanning process. And from this movie, we can see, when the Transformers come to the other planet, they depends on the situation, also can even transform to meteorites.

 And lastly, what is their source of energy ? It is the "Energon". The form is mineral or liquid. I'll talk about this later, this valuable Energon is the main factor of war in their planet.
