	Cybertronians who possess a mitotic spark inhabit and control multiple Transformers simultaneously. Unlike [[combiner]]s, who are two or more individual beings who can temporarily unite their minds and bodies into a single gestalt entity, mitotic Transformers possess ''one'' consciousness and will spread across many separate bodies, usually somewhere between two and three independent forms who often possess their own [[alternate mode]]s. This unusual power grants them great flexibility on the battlefield and supreme durability—a mitotic Transformer can generally survive the destruction of one body.

What exactly differentiates Titansparks from ordinary Cybertronian sparks isn't entirely clear, though [[Drift (G1)\|Drift]] claims in the ''[[The Transformers: More than Meets the Eye\|More than Meets the Eye]]'' [[Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations\|annual]] that these "super sparks" supposedly span multiple planes of existence and allow Titans to "commune with the divine". These unique sparks appear to be the differentiating factor between Titans and other giant Cybertronians—[[Leviathan (G1)\|Leviathan]] is extremely large, roughly the size of a [[combiner]] like [[Devastator (G1)\|Devastator]], but she is specifically noted to be no different from someone like [[Bumblebee (G1)\|Bumblebee]].

			In some rare instances, it has been observed to be possible to "split" a mature spark in half, with each half capable of existing and functioning within their own separate bodies. Cybertronians created through a split spark tend to possess unique personalities, different (or fragmented) from that of their original spark donor. No known downsides/side effects of a split spark seem to exist, other than the "death" of the original complete spark's bearer, of course.

			The guardian of the [[Artifacts of the Primes]], [[Sentius Nobilius]], had his spark split in half by the [[Sword of Balance]], creating the opposite twins [[Sentius Magnus]] and [[Sentius Malus]]. In this case, their split via the Sword of Balance granted them bodies already, unlike other instances of a spark being split.

	When [[Unicron/Generation 1\|Unicron]] attacked Cybertron, he was repelled by a small number of Cybertronians who possessed unusually powerful Point One Percenter sparks. Inspired by the sight—and foreseeing a day when the Point One Percenters would be needed again—[[Deluge (G2)\|Deluge]] and a number of other Cybertronians began studying the properties of sparks in the hopes of artificially creating a new generation of Point One Percenters.

	In ancient times, [[Vector Sigma]] created sparks by sending energy pulses across the planet, igniting "[[hot spot (phenomenon)\|hot spot]]s" that birthed clusters of newborn sparks. After the "first flash", Cybertronians harvested these new sparks; they could either be implanted into a mass of [[living metal\|sentio metallico]] to become a healthy [[protoform]] {{storylink\|The Sound of Breaking Glass}} or "frozen" indefinitely within a [[photonic crystal]]. {{storylink\|The Lopsided Triangle}} Though most unharvested sparks evaporated soon after their first flash, a particularly strong spark like a [[Point One Percenter]] could remain buried underground for some time. {{storylink\|Remembrance Day}}		In ancient times, [[Vector Sigma]] created sparks by sending energy pulses across the planet, igniting "[[hot spot (phenomenon)\|hot spot]]s" that birthed clusters of newborn sparks.
