DNA scanners are devices used in the Beast Era portion of the Generation 1 continuity family

With the rise of the Maximals and Predacons, DNA scanners were created to allow the Transformers to take the forms of organic creatures.

Fiction

Beast Wars

DNA scanners appeared to be standard technology on starships, as both the Maximals and Predacons used them to scan for local lifeforms after crashing on Ancient Earth. The scanners were also able to read the DNA of fossils, such as long extinct dinosaurs. Beast Wars (Part 1)

Stasis pods were also equipped with DNA scanners, but their range was more limited than ship based sensors. The Spark

The Energon surge that activated the Planet Buster caused the orbiting stasis pods to degrade back into the atmosphere and crash. Many of the pods DNA scanners were damaged, and in two cases merged two animal lifeforms together, creating the Fuzors. Coming of the Fuzors (Part 1)

Beast Machines

Rattrap later combined a spark extractor with an old DNA scanner, hoping to use it to reformat the Vehicons into Maximals, though Rattrap and Optimus Primal had yet to figure out how to reformat them without the Oracle. Blackarachnia later stole this device and used it to reformat Jetstorm in Silverbolt. In Darkest Knight
