Some sparks are mitotic which allow a Transformer to separate into more than one part while still being a single Transformer.
Fiction
Toy bios
Magmatron's mitotic spark allows him to separate into three powerful dinosaur modes, Landsaur, Seasaur, and Skysaur.
Animated cartoon
Jetfire and Jetstorm, who are twins, have mitotic sparks. The Allspark Almanac
Revenge of the Fallen Film
Arcee had a mitotic spark that was split between three separate bodies. When one of her bodies was destroyed, the remaining bodies could still function at full capacity, allowing for her to survive as long as one remained. Revenge of the Fallen
IDW Transformers movie comics
Mitotic sparks are not a result of a natural process, but the result of genetic experiments performed by the Decepticon Flatline that involved using one spark to power multiple protoforms at once. Tales of the Fallen issue 6
Ask Vector Prime
Vector Prime noted that Duocons such as Overlord and 'bots such as Sky Lynx possessed mitotic sparks. The Complete AllSpark Almanac
Notes
- This ability should not be confused with combiners, which combine separate characters into a single machine.
- Other Transformers exist that are able to split into component forms in the same manner as Magmatron. Those Transformers, for the most part, were introduced before the concept of sparks entered into fiction. Notable examples are the Duocons and Sky Lynx. The two aforementioned examples have been retconned into having mitotic sparks, but this may not apply to all multi-component Transformers.
