Read on Ao3

Chapter 1: Sparks and Energon
Chapter 2: Frame development
Chapter 3: Primary systems: Energy production and spark containment
Chapter 4: Secondary systems: protoform and power transfer

Chapter 4 is now available!

This will be a series of kinda-sorta in-universe documentation covering Cybertronian biomechanics and physiology, starting from what sparks are made of all the way up to hardware and software structure and upgrading.

It's the first of my meta posts that has been formatted into academic style as opposed to the more free-form meta things I post on here, and my first attempt at branching out into "legitimate" non-narrative fandom writing, like I've wanted to for a while. Huge thanks to my friends RH, Mezzo and Snazz for getting me this far, and look forward to more in the future.
