Furmanite

Not to be confused with budianskium.

Furmanite, or anti-energon, is a substance that repels energon at low doses. In higher quantities, it can cause planet-shattering explosions if it comes in contact with energon. Furmanite can be infused into a Transformer's infrastructure to create energon armor.

Fiction

3H comics

Seeking to discover a way to safeguard against energon overload while in robot mode, Fractyl developed a substance he called furmanite on prehistoric Earth. After Fractyl successfully tested its energon-shielding properties, Packrat stole the furmanite; in the chaos, it was discovered to be anti-energon when shards of furmanite explosively reacted with pure energon.

The furmanite was infused into Packrat's structure, and he threatened the planet by travelling into the Badlands, an energon-rich area. Despite some reluctance and arrogance, Packrat allowed the furmanite to be siphoned from his body when he was convinced by Rhinox to do so. Ground Zero
