i usually explaine the concept of brothers by using the spark retcon. maybe sometimes when a spark is created, it has a significantly above average energy level so as a resault, it splits in two(and in rare cases, three) to keep from overloading.

GIVE THAT MAN A CIGAR even if he dont want it!!!

 

my sentiments almost the same idea as mine i think it involves the programming being seen as a great version so THUNDERCRACKER v1.0 SKYWARP 1.2 STARSCREAM 1.3 for the ELITES ie the dudes we see in the show x.0 for the general drone types!

hmm :schin ...

could this also be used to explain why some transformers are more powerful than others?  Maybe the most powerful characters had sparks just below the splitting level and such?

 

EDIT: Sorry freefall, I was more responding to Hornet's idea.  re-reading your post, I'm not quite understanding what you were saying.

I agree with the sparksplit but i believe the core personality porogrammes of the cybertronians are like a cross between X-JET and MICROSOFT ie

prototypes with all their weaknesses are the seeker ver x.00 ,01 02...

new superweapons or special abillities then codname 1.0 for ELITE UNITS

 

so construction of a unit would be as follows                     

 

iacon:factory2:chamber1:troopCODENAME (STARSCREAM) decepticon seekerJETdesign version1.3 construction protocols

ACTIVATE

1 spark creation/maturation inc time for spark to split if split occours duplicate                 step 2

2 body manufacture

3 spark/s inserted and core personality programme installed

4 testing a) vehiclemode engines, weapons, comms, safety. etc

              b) battlemode legs, arms, special abilities

 

so "brothers" are a combination of identical spark with newer subroutines - THINK DATA/LORE

theres gotta be one tfan out there who understands this!

I think I might at this point....

Are you saying that family members would essentially be different versions of the same software, and that's why they'd be considered related?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

and the same body with different hardware, weapons, and in the case of SKYWARP spatial distortion engines for warp ability!

 

and backwards hands

 

 

not my LWARP

Did not notice this one: Armada Hotshot and Wheeljack

naw, they wern't bros, Just BFFs. Acourding to fanon  and Magnas were bros becuse They were both rebuilt by Alpha Trion, Orion Pax was Rebuilt into Optimus prime, and it is hinted by DW that Dion was rebuilt into Ultra Magnas.

the creppy thing is that Ariel was rebuilt into Elita 1, would that make Prime qand Elita siblings?  :tfpuke

ah robotic incest ah that explains RODIMUS PRIME hes the result of inbreeding- RODIMUSPRIME=LEATHERFACE!!! :tfevil  :tflaugh1  :tfevil

So even robots are tempted by the lure of inbreeding.

new thought as inbreeding produces "BACWARDS PEOPLE" would robotic incest be REVERSE ENGINEERING!! :rofl  :bounce  :yay  :boogie

But I am not sure if clones should be considered brothers or not. For example, if they were all cloned at the same time (like the Autobot/Decepticon Clones) then they would be brothers, but say since Rampage was created by cloning Starscream, I am sure Starscream wouldn't have liked it that Rampage was his "brother."

"Protoform x was an attempt to recreate the indestructable spark of starscream" never said that he was created from starscream.

 

 

sky lynx had one spark and one personallity that gets split when the two units are seperated (see alternator smokescreen GT bio)

Technically?

 

No. Chances are good that Op and Magnus considered themselves to be bros because of their twin bodies but in reality were not. I'm taking the spark case on this one. Orion Pax and Dion were pre-established sparks, complete with their own individual identities. The fact tht their bodies were reforged to resemble each other has nothing to do with their prior association, especially as they retained their individual personalities. OpPrime: "I was wrong to admire Megatron." OP, Magnus adn E-1 may consider A3 to be their creator, but he is the creator of who they've BECOME not who they started out as. Different origins metting halfway down the road for a common association.

 

And before anyone argues this point, just because OPax and Dion say they are "best friend"s does not mean that they are also brothers. So, in reality, OP and Magnus COULD still be brothers.

Where the Brainmasters brothers?
