This connection became a cornerstone of their friendship, a bond that only they understood on all of Cybertron.

Physical appearance

Eye color: Yellow. D-16 has a functional appearance, adapted to his life as a miner in a hostile and grueling environment. His structure was strong and sturdy, with a compact yet robust build, designed to withstand long work days and the harsh conditions of the mines. His armor was simple and unadorned, made of dark, dull gray metals, with areas worn by dust and the impact of heavy tools. The plates were thick, and the colors in his armor lacked a metallic sheen: their tones were dull, dark, and mixed with the permanent dust of the mines. His face was semi-angular and had an expression hardened by the work and injustice he saw daily. His eyes shone with an intensity characteristic of his rebellious and defiant spark. His body was of an imposing build, with a muscular figure that denotes his enormous strength. D-16's head was semi-angular and sharp. He has a dark, metallic color palette, dominated by silver and gray tones. His armor has an industrial texture. His hands are large, with sharp fingers capable of gripping objects tightly. Alternate Modes: Standard Mode (Robot): In this mode, he has a compact and small design compared to the Transformers that do have a T-Cog. In gray, raised, and dark tones. His eyes are yellow. Alt Mode (Vehicle): He doesn't have a vehicle mode because he doesn't have a T-Cog, a special piece that goes inside his chest plates that allows him to transform into a vehicle alt mode, whether it's a ground or air vehicle.

Personality

He is brave, kind, calm, and passionate with strong morals, driven by the ideals of justice and fairness that he shares with his friend, Orion Pax. He is loyal and protective, often stepping in to save Orion from trouble, displaying a kind-hearted side and a belief in a better future for Cybertron. He is also capable of being courteous and considerate, irritable and sensitive to the feelings of others, refraining from insults even when someone annoys him. Despite this, he is weak-willed and prone to following Orion's whims. D-16 harbors deep inner turmoil, especially over the oppressive conditions on Iacon and the corruption within Cybertron's leadership, which clashes with his desire to follow the rules. He has blind faith in his leaders, believing that those in power have every right to treat those below them as inferior. He strongly believes in the rules and caste system installed on Cybertron, believing that Darkwing (one of the mine guards) had every right to behave like a jerk to them. He also dismissed Orion's ideas that they could be more than miners. D-16 believed that as long as order was maintained, the system was justified, no matter how much it harmed him. That it was better to remain ignorant of the exploitative nature of the system, as long as life remained relatively comfortable. D-16 idolizes Megatronus more than any other of the Thirteen Primes for his immense power. He eagerly accepts a rare sticker of Megatronus's face from his friend Orion and proudly wears it on his left shoulder. D-16 always possessed a deep-seated anger and hints of a violent personality. While a good friend of Orion, he constantly attacks him with sarcasm, going so far as to claim that if he is given a transformation cog, he will "turn into a shovel and hit Orion with it." While this seems innocent at first, it shows that he is prone to violence.

Skills

As a miner in Kaon, he developed incredible physical strength and endurance, able to endure the arduous working conditions and charge energon for long periods without showing signs of exhaustion. The harshness of his environment forced him to develop a strong resistance to pain and fatigue. Superhuman Strength: Even without a T-Cog, D-16 was quite strong by non-geared Cybertronian standards. He once blocked a blow from the much larger, geared Darkwing, even managing to hold his own. Superhuman Toughness: His body is highly resilient, able to withstand powerful energy blasts, crushing forces, and extreme damage without being easily destroyed. Superhuman Speed: Although not the fastest Cybertronian, he can move with surprising speed. Superhuman Agility: Despite his size and bulk, D-16 has impressive agility. Superhuman endurance: His mechanical physiology allows him to withstand long periods of physical exertion without tiring. Superhuman Reflexes: D-16's reflexes are enhanced to near-instant reaction times, allowing him to respond to threats, dodge, and counter attacks. Immortality: D-16 is virtually eternal, like some Cybertronians, existing for millions of years. Mining equipment Energon Drills: D-16, like all miners, used powerful drills, essential for breaking through Cybertron's tough metallic crust and accessing hidden Energon deposits. The drills were mounted on his arms, allowing him to work efficiently and quickly. Jetpacks: D-16 uses some jetpacks to travel to the mines in order to extract Energon.

Biography

D-16 was one of the numerous Cybertronians of the mining class, which consisted of Cybertronians without transformation gears who served only as menial workers for the rest of the planet. During his early years, D-16 befriended fellow miner Orion Pax, and the two became brothers in all but name.

Planet Cybertron (Place where he resides)

Cybertron was a prosperous and advanced planet, covered in vast metallic cities, golden towers, and uniquely beautiful mechanized landscapes. Society was highly developed, with complex government structures, sophisticated technology, and abundant energy thanks to energon. Great metropolises like Iacon were centers of knowledge and culture, while in regions like Kaon, workers mined energon, the planet's lifeblood. Cybertron shone as an emblem of the Transformers civilization, teeming with life and prosperity.

The Supreme Spark

The AllSpark is a mystical and essential entity in the Transformers universe, seen as the core of all life on Cybertron. It represents the original source of the Transformers' sparks (or "souls") and is treated as a divine force, as it also symbolizes the will and guidance of Primus, the creator god of the Transformers and the planet Cybertron. The AllSpark is seen as the origin of life and the essence of creation itself in the Transformers universe. Its power is deeply connected to Cybertron and the Primes.

Locations and regions of Cybertron

Iacon: The capital and central city. It was the epicenter of knowledge, science, and culture on Cybertron. This metropolis was filled with archives, libraries, and research centers, and housed the Knowledge Keepers and the Council of Primes. Kaon: Home to the working classes. This mining region was grim and oppressive, filled with energon mines and heavy factories. You: It was a city dominated by flying Transformers and where advanced flight and aerial combat technologies were developed. Its tall, slender structures were adapted for inhabitants with aerial prowess. Tarn: It was an industrial center where weapons and war vehicles were produced. The city was known for its military installations, factories, and training areas. Crystal City: A beautiful and peaceful city, built with crystal structures that shone like a jewel. It was a center of science and research, famous for its Crystal Tower, a symbol of peace and unity. Polyhex: A strategic region of Cybertron, it had multiple military installations and secret laboratories. Tetrahex: A region rich in energon, it was vital to Cybertron's power supply. Praxus: Known for its architecture and its importance as a cultural center, it was a peaceful city where many Cybertronian civilians lived. During the conflict, Praxus was attacked and destroyed, leaving a void in Cybertron's culture and society.

History of the Original Primes

The story of the original Primes on Cybertron is one of myth and legend, fundamental to understanding the identity and culture of this planet. Originally, the Primes were created by Primus, the god of light and creation, to be his representatives and protectors of Cybertron and of the powerful artifact known as the Matrix of Leadership, a source of knowledge and power. Each Prime had unique abilities and held a specific place in the order of the universe. Prominent among them were Prima, the first Prime, who wielded the Sword of the Primes, and Vector Prime, the guardian of time. Another important one was Solus Prime, a talented forger who created many of the sacred artifacts used by the Primes, and her mastery of creation was a symbol of hope and renewal. There was also Alchemist Prime, who explored the essence of Cybertron's energies and alchemy. However, this harmony did not last forever. One of the Primes, Megatronus (also known as "The Fallen"), rebelled against his brethren, seeking power for himself. His betrayal led to a great war among the Primes, resulting in the destruction of many artifacts and the loss of life on Cybertron. Eventually, the remaining Primes managed to seal Megatronus in a dark dimension, swearing to protect the Matrix and maintain peace on Cybertron. Following the conflict, the Primes retreated and became mythical figures. The Matrix was hidden away, to be found only by a worthy leader, and the Primes' story lived on as a symbol of justice and guidance for future generations of Cybertronians.

Caste System

Hierarchies and Society: Cybertron is a hierarchical and organized society. The social structure is based primarily on the role and status of individuals, divided into various castes or factions. At the top of the hierarchy are the Primes, a class of almost godlike leaders who rule in the name of the well-being of the entire population, often under the influence of a religious ideology that worships the Primus as the creator. Below the Primes are the most prominent Transformer classes: the upper-class Cybertronians, such as political leaders, military strategists, and advanced Constructors. These enjoy privilege, prestige, and power, maintaining order within society. The political and military elite, such as the members of the Council of Primes, dictate the laws and strategies for the protection and expansion of Cybertron. Lower-class workers, such as miners, factory workers, and gladiators, are subordinate to the upper classes. They are considered "tools" in terms of functionality, although in places like Kaon, some of them manage to rise through struggle and endurance, as was the case with Megatronus. Gladiators, in particular, figure prominently within this hierarchy, as fighting is a way to earn respect and power, even if it is in the shadows. At the other extreme, the Miners, or mine workers, are at the lowest levels of society, although they are essential for the extraction of Energon, the energy source that fuels the entire Cybertronian civilization.

Energon

It is a vital substance for Cybertronians, serving as the primary fuel that powers their bodies and systems. Energon is used both for energy and for the production of parts and components necessary for the survival and functioning of Cybertronians. In addition, Energon is the power source for ships, weapons, and other advanced devices on Cybertron. Types of Energon: Pure Energon: This is the most basic and pure form of Energon. It is usually found in the form of crystals or solid blocks. However, due to its high concentration of power, it can be unstable if not handled properly, making it dangerous in large quantities. Solid Energon: It has a more stable structure than liquid or raw Energon. It is used both as a power source for Cybertronians and in the manufacture of more durable components, such as armor and vehicle parts. This type of Energon is easier to store and transport, making it a popular form for trade and distribution. Refined Energon: This type of Energon has been processed to remove impurities and increase its efficiency. It's the type of Energon most Cybertronians use to power themselves and operate their systems. Due to its stability, it's the most commonly used form in the Transformers' daily lives. Red Energon (or Super Energon): This is an extremely potent form of Energon that has twice the energy of pure Energon. It is used in limited quantities due to its high concentration, but can increase the strength and abilities of Transformers. Uses of Energon: Feed the Cybertronians and their ships. Operate advanced machinery and weapons. Manufacturing of vital parts and components for the creation of Cybertronians and vehicles.

Currency of Exchange: Credits

Credits are a form of virtual currency used primarily in large cities like Iacon and in major trading centers on Cybertron. Although Cybertron's economy is not based exclusively on credits (as Energon and other resources are essential and used for bartering), credits have emerged as a standardized and easily portable system, facilitating trade and access to goods and services. Origin and Use of Credits: Credits were designed as a unit of currency to standardize trade between different regions and classes on Cybertron, especially between merchants, technicians, and artisans. They were used for all sorts of minor, everyday transactions, from purchasing tools and components to paying for basic services like maintenance and repairs. Monetary Value and Denominations: In terms of value, a Cybertron credit is typically based on the amount of Energon it represents or the complexity of the resource being purchased. For example: A credit could be worth a fraction of basic Energon (generally used in everyday use). One hundred credits would be considered a respectable amount, enough to purchase good quality components or make minor improvements to a Cybertronian's structures. A thousand credits would be a considerable sum, used in exchange for rare resources, pieces of advanced technology, or specific weapons. It's also the standard value for the services of high-level mechanics or engineers. Operation and Transfer: Credits on Cybertron function as a virtual currency system managed by data nodes and central archives. These are managed through the Cybertron data network, accessible to nearly all Cybertronians in urbanized areas. The network ensures that credits can be transferred from one individual to another through a secure communication interface within its internal system.
