The specific term "technorganic" debuted in the first episode of the Beast Machines cartoon and, initially, described a very specific kind of symbiosis that blended Cybertronian technology with organic matter at the cellular level. The concept of hybridizing the purely-mechanical Transformers with organic components dates all the way back to the Pretenders, and, more debatably, the Headmaster, Targetmaster, and Powermaster characters from the original The Transformers franchise, but it would be the Beast Wars cartoon, and its cast of characters that transformed from mechanical robots into wholly organic creatures, that really brought the concept to the forefront. In his original beast configuration, organic tissue conceals Optimus Primal's robot mode circuitry. Cheetor and Optimus Primal, " Master of the House" While traditionalists view these upgrades with distrust or even outright disgust, many of the most ambitious intelligences across the Transformers multiverse have artificially accelerated the development of the Cybertronian species-and sometimes the entire galaxy-by spearheading a technorganic revolution in an attempt to bring together the best of both worlds. ![]() Already intrinsically linked to the natural world, it should come as no surprise that almost all Cybertronians who adopt a technorganic form possess some kind of beast mode. Technorganic (also techno-organic, technoorganic, and bio-mechanical) Cybertronians incorporate both organic and technological components into their construction depending on the universe, these unique upgrades run the gamut of technological sophistication, from basic cybernetic implants all the way up to a true cellular symbiosis that can be classified as an entirely new kind of life-form. Although many view the Transformers as a purely-mechanical race, this is not always the case. ![]()
