'''Cybercrosis''' is a [[Cybertron (planet)|Cybertronian]] disease with no known cure and a 100% fatality rate. Its mere existence challenges the popularly-held notion of Cybertronian immortality. Essentially caused by the spark 'giving out', it causes an incremental shutdown in a Transformer's body. In its early stages, cybercrosis causes one's [[innermost energon]] to curdle and destroys the ability to [[Transformation|transform]]. As it progresses, the disease induces paralysis and blindness, then partial muteness and, potentially, memory loss.

Cybercrosis is a Cybertronian disease with no known cure and a 100% fatality rate. Its mere existence challenges the popularly-held notion of Cybertronian immortality. Essentially caused by the spark 'giving out', it causes an incremental shutdown in a Transformer's body. In its early stages, cybercrosis causes one's innermost energon to curdle and destroys the ability to transform. As it progresses, the disease induces paralysis and blindness, then partial muteness and, potentially, memory loss. Death always follows shortly thereafter.
