Both of these statements contain plausible explanations for the violence and hostility observed in the behavior of the robots in the film itself, but they do not make allowances for the fully-developed personas observed in the ''Real Gear Robots'' toyline and other supporting material.  A possible solution is that these may take place in different continuities than the film itself, such that the All Spark may operate a bit differently.  Alternatively, it could be that—given enough time—an Earth machine animated by the All Spark might eventually develop consciousness.  Or, perhaps not all robots are created equal.  It could simply be that, while most are feral, some are not.

Allspark Mutations are type of Transformer from the 2007 movie franchise in the live-action film continuity family.
Don't get him wet.

Allspark Mutations are Earth machinery brought to life as Transformers by the All Spark.

Fiction

Transformers (2007 film)

Agents working for Sector Seven learned to activate and channel All Spark radiation in their base under Hoover Dam. Their technique created heavily-armed psychopathic killing machines out of common Earth devices. The cube also emitted a pulse when dropped by Sam Witwicky as he fled from Decepticons in Mission City, spawning more robotic homicidal maniacs. Transformers

Titan Magazines Transformers movie comics

Allspark Mutations contain solidified All Spark energy in their chests that resemble small, red All Spark cubes. The living machines continued to run amok in Mission City until Starscream began killing them and taking their energy for his own purposes. Starscream's Militia

IDW Transformers movie comics

In the aftermath of the Mission City battle, Ironhide, Captain Lennox, Technical Sergeant Epps and a few other soldiers track down and destroy the All Spark's creations. Alliance issue 1

Hopefully they gave Salvage and the Autobot Real Gear Robots a pass.

Toy packaging bios

The character bios for the Allspark Mutations Jolt, Salvage, and the Real Gear Robots depict them as ordinary Autobots and Decepticons, despite their origin as Earth machinery brought to life with All Spark energy.

Games

Transformers: The Game

When the Autobots attempt to retrieve the All Spark, it produces drones from the local machinery to defend itself. As such, the All Spark-created transformers may have been feral as a survival mechanism. Transformers: Autobots

Known Allspark Mutations

Possible Allspark Mutations

These Transformers seem to be likely candidates, but their actual origins remain unknown:

Not Allspark Mutations

Sometimes thought to be Earth-born, the following Transformers are known to have alien origins (the drones arrive on Earth in "cometary" transition form), and therefore were not animated by the All Spark on Earth:

Trivia

  • Screenwriter Roberto Orci has offered some potential explanations for the evil nature of on-screen Allspark Mutations both at BotCon 2007 and on the official movie forum
    • "Prime intended to use the Allspark to repower Cybertron as it was intended. Megatron wants to abuse it by creating Transformers directly, which makes souless[sic], primal Transformers."[3]
    • "It is meant to power Cybertron, not adapt human technology. Also, since all earth's tech is reverse engineered from Megatron, maybe that affects the outcome, too."[4]
  • A final explanation can be taken from a mission in Transformers: Autobots. When the Autobots attempt to retrieve the All Spark, it produces drones from the local machinery to defend itself. As such, the All Spark-created transformers may have been feral as a survival mechanism.
  • The exact circumstances by which the All Spark created other Transformers with more ordinary personalities from Earth machinery is currently unknown.

Trivia

  • None of the Allspark Mutations that appeared in the movie were in the leaked script except the XBOX 360 robot. The ones in the film were a Nokia phone, a Mountain Dew vending machine, a steering wheel and an XBOX 360. In the script, they were an iPod, devices in a truck and plasma televisions.
