Energon

This article is about the energy source. For the Transformers franchise, see Energon (franchise).

The final Molecule needed for Pure Energon, which cannot be manufactured, is highlighted at the right.

Energon is the preferred fuel/energy source of Transformers. It has also been shown as a food source, currency and sometimes even ammunition.

Typically, Energon is highly explosive. Even a small amount of damage could cause Energon to detonate fiercely.

The safest way to transport Energon is when it is condensed into the form of an Energon Cube. In this form Energon is more stable, but still quite dangerous.

Pure Energon consists of several molecules (a macromolecule?) one of which contains the element actually named Energon, which cannot be syntherized. The whole macromolecule is often refered to simply as "Energon."

The element Energon is required for the creation of 'pure' Energon. This implies that 'impure' Energon can be manufactured without the element Energon, but is still refered to as Energon because of its similar physical properties.

In the first season of Beast Wars, Energon Crystals were introduced. This variety had a number of new properties, not the least of which being that extended exposure to it could cause permanent damage to any Transformer that was currently in its robot mode. Most of the Crystals were lost when the Vok decided to destroy the planet.
