AllSpark Mutations are Earth machinery brought to life as Transformers by the AllSpark.

Fiction

Transformers (2007 film)

Agents working for Sector Seven learned to activate and channel AllSpark 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 AllSpark energy in their chests that resemble small, red AllSpark cubes. The living machines continued to run amok in Mission City Los Angeles until Starscream began killing them and taking their energy for his own purposes. Starscream's Militia

IDW Transformers movie comics

The first mutations appeared in 1913, when AllSpark discharges created them out of a crane, a car, a radio and a shotgun. Sector Seven were very confused, but managed to destroy the crane, radio and gun. The car got away Irreplaceable and wasn't seen again until 1934. Together

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

Three L.M.-1 drones were brought to life with energy from an AllSpark fragment and came to the defense of the humans. All three were quickly destroyed by Wreckage. Alliance #2

Revenge of the Fallen

After the AllSpark's destruction, a small fragment got mixed up in the tattered t-shirt Sam had been wearing that day. Two years later, Sam found the fragment, but - shocked by its energies - dropped it. It burned through the floor of his bedroom, landed in the kitchen, and discharged a burst of energy which brought several appliances from Sam's house to life. The little mechanical monsters wreaked havoc on the Witwicky kitchen and drove the family out of their house, until Bumblebee was called in to shoot them. Revenge of the Fallen

IDW Revenge of the Fallen comics

The remains of the appliancebots were stored at Guantanamo Bay in a box, until Ravage broke in and stole them. He got as far as Florida but was knocked offline by an explosion at Kingdom Petrochemicals. Tales of the Fallen #5 The mutations lay scattered around Ravage at the bottom of a tank until a team sent by the Initiative, Ravage's new enigmatic masters, arrived and began draining the residual AllSpark energy from them. Nefarious #1 Ravage was later revived by Buzzsaw, but the Appliancebots were left nonfunctional. Nefarious #2

Toy packaging bios

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

Games

Transformers The Game

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

Notes

• 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."
  • "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."
• A final explanation can be taken from a mission in Transformers: Autobots. When the Autobots attempt to retrieve the AllSpark, it produces drones from the local machinery to defend itself. As such, the AllSpark-created transformers may have been feral as a survival mechanism.
• The exact circumstances by which the AllSpark created other Transformers with more ordinary personalities from Earth machinery is currently unknown.
• 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.
• The term "AllSpark Mutations" comes from Alliance #1.
