AllSpark Mutations (alternatively known as Energon Mutations) are a subspecies of Transformers from the planet Earth, created when ordinary Earth machines got exposed to sources of Energon such as the AllSpark.
History[]
IDW Movie Comics[]
In 1913, Jetfire discovered the AllSpark excavation site in the Colorado River basin and came into conflict with the men who would go on to found Sector Seven. His touch activated the AllSpark and unleashed a surge of energon that brought four nearby machines to life: a shotgun, a radio, a car, and the crane holding the AllSpark. While Roy Thompson and Theodore Wells dispatched the radio and the gun, Herbert Hoover opened the water bypass from the nearby dam, destroying the crane. The car, named Flathead managed to escape in the confusion and laid low for twenty years until a pair of criminals named Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow used it during their infamous crime spree. When Sector Seven finally caught up with the rogue machine, Margaret Simmons destroyed the car using an experimental electrical weapon.
Transformers (2007)[]
While experimenting on the AllSpark, Sector Seven's research team learned how to channel and harness its life-giving radiation and turn ordinary human machines into Cybertronians—unlike the fully-sentient Autobots and Decepticons, however, these creatures were violent, feral beings who mindlessly attacked anything in their immediate vicinity. Megatron planned to used the AllSpark to bring all of Earth's machinery to life, then turn them into a new army of Decepticon conquerors. According to the unreliable testimony of agent Seymour Simmons, Nokia-brand cell phones were particularly nasty compared to other electronic devices—indeed, one test subject manifested a tiny machine gun and attempted to break containment before Simmons terminated the creature with a powerful electric pulse.
Later, as Sam Witwicky fled from Decepticons in Mission City, he dropped the AllSpark cube and unleashed an uncontrolled energy pulse that brought three more machines to life: a soda machine, an Xbox 360, and a steering wheel.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen[]
After the AllSpark's destruction, a small fragment got mixed up in the tattered t-shirt Sam had been wearing that day. Two years later, Sam found the fragment, but—shocked by its energies—dropped it. It burned through the floor of his bedroom, landed in the kitchen, and discharged a burst of energy which brought many of the electronic devices in the Witwicky kitchen to life. These "Appliancebots" rampaged through the house and attempted to kill him and his family until Bumblebee destroyed all of the mutations.
Toy Bios[]
During the battle of Mission City, the AllSpark brought a number of other machines to life, including Longarm, Salvage, Jolt and Landmine.
When uncontrolled AllSpark energy came into contact with household electronics like cell phones, cameras, and video game controllers, the Real Gear Robots were born.
Reboot Timeline[]
Bumblebee[]
In Bumblebee originally featured a scene where the Autobot inadvertently brought the electronics in Charlie's house (including a Television) to life, necessitating a slapstick fight sequence in which Bumblebee, Charlie, and Memo had to unplug the hostile Transformers to deactivate them. This scene was cut very late in production, enough so that a version of it would find its way into both the junior novel and Junior Reader adaptations.
