The Well of Transformation is a well of special water on Tlalakan that dissolves the body of anyone who enters it, leaving only the spirit, which then forms a new body of whatever sort their heart desires. The Tlalakans use it to change into merpeople so that they can secretly use the waterways for their rebellion against Deceptitran. Any drone that enters the pool, being a soulless machine, is immediately dissolved to nothing as if by acid. But Transformers, having spirits themselves, experience the same effect as Tlalakans. The well is connected to the aforementioned waterways, but its effects don't spread through them. Nevertheless, water removed from the well remains transformative (by which means it has also been shown to work on Beastformers).
