Technoism is the belief that mechanical species are inherently superior to organic ones. Right-minded individuals like Vector Prime consider it to be amoral.
Fiction
IDW Generation 1 continuity
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
Upon Scorponok revealing the Firstborn, an appalled Nickel noted the creature's very existence and Scorponok's plans for it spat in the face of Technosim. Scorponok merely waved off these concerns. Kill All 'Cons
The Functionist Universe
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
In Aurex 606.0 Kappa Landslide, an Autobot who defected to the Decepticons was a technoist. Ask Vector Prime, 14/9/2015
Notes
- The term technoism did not debut until 2007 in the IDW Generation 1 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).
