	They are a very unique species, being made up of a combination of [[living metal]] and pure energy. They have evolved a very high level of heat resistance, and are said to have lived within the very stars themselves, where they mined the [[energon]] from within. A Solarbot is also capable of converting mere sunlight into pure energon, negating the necessity of ingesting fuel that is required for other cybertronic life. Solarbots possess a form of energy shielding that protects them from most forms of energy-based weaponry, and they can extend this shielding to other cybertronic life that they ~~attach~~ to. They can scan the forms of others to appear more comforting, and are also capable of converting themselves into a condensed ball of light.

The '''Solarbots''' (ソーラーボット ''Sōrābotto'') are an ancient race of highly advanced robotic beings from a faraway galaxy who are descended from [[Transformer|Cybetronians]].

They are a very unique species, being made up of a combination of [[living metal]] and pure energy. They have evolved a very high level of heat resistance, and are said to have lived within the very stars themselves, where they mined the [[energon]] from within. A Solarbot is also capable of converting mere sunlight into pure energon, negating the necessity of ingesting fuel that is required for other cybertronic life. Solarbots possess a form of energy shielding that protects them from most forms of energy-based weaponry, and they can extend this shielding to other cybertronic life that they attach to. They can scan the forms of others to appear more comforting, and are also capable of converting themselves into a condensed ball of light.

They communicate via a strange language made up of photonic pulses, mostly incomprehensible to normal lifeforms. In addition to this, they can also communicate with other species telepathically.
