'''Atechnogenesis'''<ref>Term first appeared in Dreamwave's 2004 Generation 1 ''[[More Than Meets The Eye (G1)|More Than Meets The Eye]]'' guidebook, p483</ref> is the secular scientific explanation that life on [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertron]] sprang up through the naturally-occurring interaction of gears, levers, and pulleys.<ref>This phrase dates from 1984's Marvel ''Transformers'' US #1, the first Transformers story ever published.</ref><br />
<br />
The strict scientific rationalism of atechnogenesis rejects traditional religious claims that [[Primus]] is the source of all life on Cybertron, and much of the ancient doctrine surrounding the [[Matrix of Leadership|Matrix]].<br />

==Notes==<br />
*The [[Quintesson]]s are an example of a species that came about by the evolution of mechanical life.<ref>"Mechanical life has long since evolved in segments of the cosmos--existing alongside organic life." "This [a Quintesson ship] is a spacecraft of one such mechanical race--" {{storylink|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (issue)|The Big Broadcast of 2006 (US)}}</ref><br />
