AllSpark Mutation

AllSpark Mutations (alternatively known as Energon Mutations) are a subspecies of Earth-type Cybertronians from the planet Earth, created when ordinary Earth machines got exposed to sources of Energon such as the AllSpark.

Anatomy
AllSpark Mutations share a similar biology to other Cybertronians, though they vary by size. Mutations born from vehicles are about the same size as traditional Cybertronians in robot mode. Mutations born from electronic devices are smaller in size, some of which being roughly the same size as Humans.

Culture and society
Unlike fully sentient Cybertronians, the semi-sapient AllSpark Mutations are violent, feral beings who mindlessly attack anything in their immediate vicinity.

History
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 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.

While experimenting on the AllSpark over the next few decades, Sector Seven's research team learned how to channel and harness its life-giving radiation and turn ordinary human machines into Cybertronians. Megatron planned to use the AllSpark to bring all of Earth's machinery to life, creating a new army of Decepticon conquerors. According to Agent Seymour Simmons, Nokia-brand cell phones are particularly nasty compared to other electronic devices. Indeed, one such test subject created in 2007 manifested a tiny machine gun and attempted to break containment before Simmons euthanized the creature with a powerful electric pulse.

As Sam Witwicky fled from Decepticons during the battle of Mission City, he accidentally 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. While mopping up after the battle ended with Megatron's death and the AllSpark's destruction, Ironhide, Captain Lennox, Technical Sergeant Epps and a few other soldiers tracked down and destroyed the steering wheel and Xbox. Concurrently, Ratchet crushed and neutralized the soda machine just as it had ambushed Sam.

In 2009, it was discovered that a second AllSpark fragment got mixed up in the tattered t-shirt Sam had been wearing during the battle of Mission City. When he found the fragment, he accidentally dropped upon being shocked by its energies. The shard burned through the floor of his bedroom, landing in the kitchen before discharging 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 parents until Bumblebee destroyed all of the mutations.

Several months later, Ravage broke into a military installation in Guantanamo Bay and stole the remains of the Appliancebots on behalf of his new enigmatic masters, the Initiative. He got as far as Florida but was knocked offline by an explosion at Kingdom Petrochemicals. The Appliancebots laid scattered around Ravage's body at the bottom of a tank until a team sent by the Initiative arrived to absorb and collect the residual AllSpark energy from them. Though Ravage was eventually reactivated by Buzzsaw, the Appliancebots were left nonfunctional.

Initiative leader Carter Newell used a neural conduit to beam this AllSpark energy across the country, remotely animating a paper shredder, an air conditioning unit, a copy machine, and a coffee maker. These mutations promptly assassinated the other board members of Project: Nefarious, though it remains unclear what became of them afterwards.
