Animatronian

Animatronians (alternatively known as Eukarians) are a subspecies of Cybertronians from the lush and verdant jungle planet Animatron.

Anatomy
Animatronians share a similar biology to other Cybertronians, though they generally transform into animals.

Powers and abilities
Animatronians share many of the same abilities as other Cybertronians.

Culture and society
Amidst Animatron's verdant jungles and oceans, strange beasts prowl though not all of them are flesh and blood. Unlike the many other Cybertronian colonies across the galaxy, these early Cybertronian settlers left their wild world unspoiled by civilization and adapted to their harsh environment by adopting fearsome beast modes.

Only the mightiest may rule Animatron where strength and teeth are the only laws, and the insular tribes and clans who dwell here are distrustful of ancestral Cybertronians with vehicular alternate modes.

Animatronians are often divided into various tribes such as the reptilian Scale Walkers, led by Dinobot; the mammalian Fur Walkers, led by Cheetor; the aquatic Wave Walkers, led by Manta Ray; the airborne Cloud Walkers, led by Sonar; and the supernatural Fateweavers, led by Blackarachnia.

Animatronians also seem to have a monarchy type of society, as Optimus Primal is referred to as the "King of the Beast Planet", occasionally succeeding Apelinq.

In the Tyran Cluster, Animatronians are dedicated to the expansion of life throughout the universe. Through their use of the Transwarp Key, they travel to other planets and nurture developing civilizations. In the aftermath of their planet's destruction, the Animatronians have also been tasked with protecting the Transwarp Key and stopping Unicron from consuming the universe.

Technology
In the Tyran Cluster, Animatronians are described as an advanced race of Cybertronians akin to the Maximals and Predacons of the Primax Cluster's "Beast Era".

Religion
Animatronians are associated with Onyx Prime.
