'''Sari Sumdac''', the adopted daughter of robotics genius [[Isaac Sumdac]], doesn't get out much. She spends all her time within her father's laboratories, receiving her education from robots. Despite this, she doesn't seem like a shut-in. She's curious, excitable, adventurous, and knows that crying can sometimes get her what she wants. She just doesn't know what it's like to be around other kids. Fortunately, she has [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] to help with that, whom she claims is the best friend she's ever had.

The key around her neck has miraculous powers from the [[All Spark (Animated)|All Spark]], but her guardian, the robotic dog [[Sparkplug (Animated)|Sparkplug]], thinks it's just another chew toy.

==Fiction==
===Transformers: Animated continuity===

{{spoiler|Transform and Roll Out!}}
When her pet robot dog, Sparkplug, stole her security key card, Sari chased it outside and was confronted by [[Bumblebee (Animated)|Bumblebee]] and [[Bulkhead (Animated)|Bulkhead]], who spoke to her as if she were Sparkplug's pet. Naturally, she freaked out, but quickly befriended Bumblebee once he saved her from a giant bug that had grown from her father's nanite experiment gone awry. Stowing away on Bumblebee and coming aboard the ''[[Ark (Animated)|Ark]]'', she came across the [[All Spark (Animated)|All Spark]], which infused part of its power into her security key. This allowed her to heal [[Transformer]]s, such as the injured [[Prowl (Animated)|Prowl]], earning her brownie points with the 'Bots. She also managed to talk the police down from shooting the Autobots, saying they were friendly (except [[Ratchet (Animated)|Ratchet]], who was grumpy, but not evil). Sari later helped teach the Autobots about [[Earth]] and [[human]]s.

During the unveiling of her father's new transit system, [[Starscream (Animated)|Starscream]] arrived and attacked. Bumblebee took a shot meant for Sari, allowing Starscream to capture him, Professor Sumdac, the Mayor, and [[Captain Fanzone]]. Sari came up with the idea to distract Starscream while she and Prowl rescued the others (even faking some tears to make it happen). Her key later saved [[Optimus Prime (Animated)|Optimus Prime]]'s life when she used it to revive his [[spark]]. {{storylink|Transform and Roll Out!}}

==Notes==
[[Image:Sariprime.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Prime was never the same after this.]]

*Although it's only whispered, Sari is the first person to explain human [[reproduction]] to a Transformer. Optimus Prime looked very shocked by the explanation. How she knows about this at such a tender young age is unknown.
*Despite the fact that other children haven't fared too well with Transformers [[Fandom|fans]], Sari has been reasonably well liked, more so then usual.
*Unused animation from an early version of the series' opening credits showed Sari using a tricycle that transformed into a jetpack. This item has yet to surface in the series itself.

Technorganic

2007-10-19T20:13:57Z

97.81.94.102: /* Trivia */

'''Technorganic''' is a descriptor that was introduced in the ''[[Beast Machines (cartoon)|Beast Machines]]'' cartoon series. It refers to a melding of technological and biological components into a single entity by the power of the [[Oracle]].

These fusions are far more involved and complete than any seen before, and merge the technological and organic components of the affected being throughout their entire body and down even to the cellular level. A technorganic being can no longer truly be said to be a technological robot at all, nor are they like organic life as it is found in the rest of the universe. Technorganic Cybertronians are truly their own new and unique type of life, theoretically combining all the strengths of both robotic and organic life.

==Technorganic biology==

Technorganic transformers do not have on-board computers to handle secondary functions as previous Beast-era Transformers did, rather those functions have either become conscious actions (such as transforming, addressed below) or are now autonomic as breathing is in an organic life-form. They have advanced internal healing abilities, and do not appear to have "[[spark]] chambers" the way previous Beast-era transformers did. Rather the spark appears to simply be diffused throughout the body and coalesce in the center of the chest or floating just outside of it when made to appear.

==Technorganic transforming==

Technorganic Transformers still retain the ability to transform between two forms, however their transforming is not a mechanical shifting of moving parts, as with their robotic predecessors. It appears more like fluid shape-shifting, accompanied by a burst of bright energy. Because the process is so different, Transformers need to re-learn how to transform once they find themselves in a technorganic body. Rather than triggering a pre-programmed sequence of motions, they have to achieve an internal zen-like mental balance and will themselves into their other mode. Some use a mantra such as "I am transformed" to help until they get the hang of doing it on their own.

==Technorganic powers==

Techorganic transformers are invisible to traditional scanners and sensors while in beast mode. They can still be seen, but seemingly no longer give off an "energy signature" like ordinary machines. However, when in their robot mode they are as readily detectable as any other Transformer (much like Beast Wars characters in the first season).

Additionally, the technorganic characters in the ''Beast Machines'' cartoon seemed to posses powerful (almost super-powerful) combat abilities granted them by the [[Oracle]]. It is unknown whether such abilities would be common to all technorganic Transformers (such as the entire populace of post-BM Cybertron), or if they were specially granted to help that band of Maximals achieve the Oracle's goal of a planetwide [[reformatting]].

==Technorganic Cybertron==
By the [[Beast Era]], Cybertron had long been a planet of metal upon metal: "technology" alone. The returning Beast Warriors brought with them organic components of the planets they had visited, allowing the Oracle to begin the process of reformatting the planet to be technorganic.

At the end of the ''Beast Machines'' conflict Cybertron was reformatted planet-wide, creating a new world, a mix of technorganic flora and fauna with vast green cities. The exact details and secrets of this new Cybertron have yet to be revealed.

== Trivia ==
Beast Machines seems to negate the fact that [[Primus]] is [[Cybertron]], unless for some reason this is some sort of plan by the [[Oracle]] to upgrade or improve Primus's current body for some unknown purpose. Or possibly that it was all part of Primus's grand design to begin with, him being the God of the Transformers and all. The truth is out there somewhere but alas, since Hasbro may never revive the Beast Wars timeline for the future, we'll probably never know.
