- Hatchlings are a stage of Transformer life from the life-action film continuity family.
Hatchlings are the first stage of life for Cybertronians. Unprogrammed protoforms held in small sacs, they require regular doses of Energon to survive. If their sac is breached before the end of the gestation process, they will die.
And they're so cute!

Fiction
IDW Transformers prequel comics
Before the war, after the AllSpark was rediscovered and used to revitalize Cybertron, some newborn hatchlings were seen being tended to by Flatline. Foundation #1 Later, a monster attacked the hatchlings and their protector Starscream, but they were rescued by Megatron and Shockwave. Foundation #2 Many years after the war broke out, Optimus Prime broke into Megatron's citadel, he found Megatron surrounded by hatchlings. Megatron dared Optimus as to whether he would kill the defenceless young Transformers to get at him. Foundation #3 Optimus refused to succumb to this temptation and let the hungry hatchlings swarm over Megatron: when the Decepticon cast them off, he discovered his nemesis was gone. Foundation #4
Revenge of the Fallen movie
Despite the loss of both Megatron and the AllSpark, The Fallen continued his plans to raise an army and ordered new Decepticon leader Starscream to oversee the spawning of this army. Without the AllSpark to provide energon, the plan was failing, and the hatchlings continued to die. Starscream's command came to end when Soundwave resurrected Megatron (possibly without telling Starscream). Upon his return to the Nemesis, Megatron chastised his lieutenant for leaving him to die on Earth, but Starscream defended his actions by saying The Fallen had decreed the spawning of the new army, and in Megatron's absence, someone had to assume command. Furious at Starscream's presumption, Megatron slammed him into a wall containing protoform sacs, telling Starscream that there was no command but Megatron's. Despite warning Megatron of their fragile state, Starscream's presence on the wall caused one of the sacs to break open, causing the hatchling inside to fall out and die. Starscream later presented the body of the hatchling to The Fallen to further emphasize the need to find more Energon, as the other hatchlings would die without it. Revenge of the Fallen
IDW Dark of the Moon prequel comics
Megatron relocated the hatchlings to Namibia, Africa. Rising Storm #2
Games
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - The Game
Xbox 360/Sony PS3/PC
Decepticon campaign
After the defeat of The Fallen, Megatron returned to the Nemesis, unleashing his dormant army of Decepticons. Revenge of the Fallen (Xbox 360/PS3/PC)
Notes
- In the novelization and comic adaptation, Megatron abandoned The Fallen to his death and returned to the Nemesis to activate the protoforms and bring them forth. This was presumably supposed to be the "hook" ending shown after the credits (but the question remains as to how Megatron would have accomplished this, since he never got any more Energon!).
Foreign names
