We are neither Autobot or Decepticon because we lack the ability to transform. Our generation was intended to be midget soldiers too small for the enemy to aim while having significant offense abilities in the battlefield as well as being powered by a regenerating Energon source which draws from enemies to power themselves for ammunition and to energize excess exertion. When we were finished building our heads were big easy targets, the Energon vampirism failed and we had to use a completely different form of energy which was impossible to recreate with Cybertronian technology. The only thing we did right was being able to use overpowered weaponry. They set up a space bridge and shot us out into space, conveniently landing us on the planet of Isora which was theorized to have the necessary energy design we needed to thrive as opposed to destroying us and recycling the materials. When we regrouped we tried to remember what happened before regaining consciousness on the alien planet but our memories were all fried by the bridging process. On Isora we subconsciously created cities and machines resembling those of our previous home planet and had a similar struggle for power where certain light frequencies attributed us our individual personal colors. The two opposite sides of the spectrum, violet and red (ultraviolet, infrared) held the greatest conflict whereas those closer to the center (green and yellow) were more peaceful. Eventually we united under a knight without color, the first of us to have ever been constructed by Cybertronian hands: Ozlo. He united us under a single rule without bias or resentment to any and gave our people a leader who only sought the satisfaction of others. Under his rule we sought to revitalize the planet after our war had left it scarred but lacked the energy as we had squandered most of it building and destroying against each other, so Ozlo devised the plan to seek energy sources on other planets to feed our starving planet.

Or at least this is what I think we are.

I should stick to fanfiction.

wat.

Even Nick himself said that when you equip a different Helmet, it literally cuts your head off and replaces it.

That's not transforming?

@Lightyourfire:

Not the song reference, but I came up with a great metaphor as back-up. Can't lose too much faith in the community. I mean, lose too much faith in the community you cannot.

Actually, the UVs would technically deal extra damage if we could regard knights like that, considering their suits are referred to as 'Power Armour'.

Argument=Invalid.

Part robot and machine, some where around our species line of evolution knights started to get mechanical like trait that could be passed throughout the generations of the spiral order.

Annoying, That's what I am.

So do aeroplanes :P

Naw, we ain't robots!

We're more or less a gaseous essence housed inside a suit of armor. Do we transform? Yes and no. Not in the sense of "we replace our heads" or going all "autobots" on everything, but more like we sorta shift to fill in the helmet or armor, not being a tangible being. LED's in our heads? I doubt it. Haven't yall ever seen glowing gas? Automatons could be another possibility. After all, where did we come from? Ever seen Spiralian children running around in haven? Though that would have to be some serious AI to give everyone a personality and whatnot. So again, a gaseous essence makes the most sense here.

There are various things in the game that imply that the knights are biological (with a really large chance of having various mechanical implants) creatures with power suits, not to mention that according to the vitasuit plus description, we have hair, and according to various other items, they say that we have teeth, and we need to eat, drink and sleep. And have to wear socks and other stuff too.

@aureate, the knights are actually looking for resources and other valuable stuff, while also documenting the data from the planets they visit, we are only fighting the only race of intelligent (and mostly sane) beings because they are hostile. The strangers are friendly/neutral. And the snipes are innocent until we find proof that they are controlling the swarm, germilins, strangers, and all the rest, and using us in a deathwatch-ish game of theirs.

@immortus, about the thing of the spiralian children, first, if you consider that this is a military/scientific expedition, having children on-board of the skylark would be a ridiculous idea (unless they were born there.). Sure, there were probably a few new spiralians that were born on cradle during the time the knights were stuck there. But i don't really know if its reasonable to let children run around alone in a city in the middle of a hostile planet, altought it doesn't make sense to keep them locked away ALL the time, so we can't get to a reasonable conclusion.

Someone had to say it ^^
