| '''Lead sulfide''', also known as galena, occurs naturally on planet Earth. It is an important ore of lead, and forms dull, grayish, cubical crystals of varying size. It is also a natural semiconductor, and as such was vital in the early days of radio, when a single galena crystal was used as a 'detector' for radio waves.
| |
| | |
| Lead sulfide crystals are also a [[Cybertronian food]] product, and are apparently delicious when combined with savory mercury sauce and flavorful iron filings as garnish for a tasty robot. They are, of course, poisonous and quite
| |
| inedible for humans. It should be noted that crystals found on [[Femax]] emit a greenish glow in the visible spectrum; this may indicate that they are formed from an unknown radioactive lead isotope.
| |
| | |
| Lead sulfide additive appears to act as an anti-allergy remedy for some Transformers. [[Lightspeed (Technobot)|Lightspeed]] must take some with his fuel or break out with a rust rash and other troubling symptoms.

| | |
| The effect of common gray galena on robot tastebuds is not known.
