Atechnogenesis[1] is the secular scientific explanation that life on Cybertron sprang up through the naturally-occurring interaction of gears, levers, and pulleys.[2]
The strict scientific rationalism of atechnogenesis rejects traditional religious claims that Primus is the source of all life on Cybertron, and much of the ancient doctrine surrounding the Matrix.
Notes
- The Quintessons are an example of a species that came about through the evolution of mechanical life.[3]
- Japan actually developed a much more detailed atechnogenesis origin for Cybertronic life in "A Birth of Planet Saybertron", one of Fight! Super Robot Lifeform Transformers's pre-movie magazine supplements. It's probably the most serious rendering of the concept ever.
- In the 2005 IDW continuity, believers in atechnogenesis are referred to as "Evolutionary Engineerists".
