Technoism is the belief that mechanical species are inherently superior to organic ones. More right-minded individuals like Vector Prime consider it to be immoral.
Fiction
[edit]2005 IDW continuity
[edit]During the Golden Age Nova Prime was a staunch technoist, believing that Cybertron should dominate the galaxy. Spotlight: Optimus Prime When Megatron voiced his desire for the Cybertronian race as a whole to subjugate "lesser species" Optimus Prime recognized his words as technoism. Chaos Theory Part 1

The Functionist Universe
[edit]In an alternate timeline where Megatron never came to be the Great War never happened due to the corrupt Functionist Council usurping the equally-so Senate and thus there was no neo-technoism. The Decepticons never came about to travel across known space to cyberform entire planets which would have killed countless organic sentients. Predestination: An Expert's Guide
Ask Vector Prime
[edit]In Aurex 606.0 Kappa Landslide, an Autobot who defected to the Decepticons, was a technoist. Ask Vector Prime, 14/9/2015
Notes
[edit]- The term technoism did not debut until 2007 in the 2005 IDW continuity but is probably the philosophy of the Generation 2 Cybertronian Empire; and even before that an undoubtedly integral part of the Decepticon Empire (and in one case, the Autobot Imperium) across the multiverse.
