So in the cartoon, Vector Sigma had created sparks.

 

1. Did everyone have access to Vector Sigma? In the comics, it showed (at times) like you had to go through a proving grounds to even get to the chamber. And other times, they just went there. Were only leaders able to go there?

 

2. Did Vector Sigma react to anyone who went up to him? Also did Vector Sigma just create sparks all by himself, or did they always have to bring robot bodies for him to fill?

 

3. Could Vector Sigma create robots all by himself, without the intervention of anyone else?

 

4. Since Vector Sigma kicked the bucket at the end of the cartoon, does that mean that no new sparks could be created? In the Japanese cartoon, since Seibertron went kaboom, does this basically mean no new sparks could have been made?

1) I would assume that you had open access to VS, but needed the key to activate it.

 

2) It would seem that VS would react to whomever went up to him, provided they had they key. As for the second part, I believe you needed a body for the spark, or at least some sort of receptacle to sustain it.

 

3) Never heard of him creataing any on his own, just on demand. Although, maybe he has a reserve of pre-created sparks to draw upon. And since VS is very old, he would have enough time to create so many vaired sparks, that the right one could simply be selected from the pool w/o being specifically vreated.

 

4) I would assume so. No VS=no sparks.

 

Of couse, I'm probably wrong on several of these points, but logically, these are what I would say makes sense.

That's Japanese continuity, but regardless of that, I think the Matrix became the new conduit for Sparks to be created.  Otherwise the Transforers as a race would become extinct.

According to BM, Vector Sigma is just the interface between TFs and the Matrix, so IMO it was never Vector Sigma "creating" sparks but rather releasing them from the Matrix.

Remember Not all of Seibertron wen't boom, it looked like the second deathstar after that Explosion. Regardless Seibertron ws rebuilt in Battlestars.

I forgot about the key. Did they use the key to make the Stunticons too? I swear there was an episode where they had Vector Sigma give life to someone without using the key, but maybe they just didn't show that part of it.
