The Red Rust is an artificial virus created by the Autobot Pharma. It's spread by touch, but infected Cybertronians show no symptoms until they first transform, at which point the virus triggers and causes the coolants, dispersants and anti-rusting agents in their body to cross-contaminate and cause a molecular breakdown. The first visual sign is fuel leaking out of the victims' eyes, making it seem like they're "crying themselves to death."
