Technoism
Technoism is the belief that mechanical species are inherently superior to organic ones. Right-minded individuals like Vector Prime consider it to be amoral.

The Functionist Universe
In an alternate timeline where Megatron never came to be the Great War never happened due to the corrupt Functionist Council usurping the equally-so Senate and thus there was no neo-technoism.
