Cybertronian Races

Functionalist apartheid was based almost entirely on a Cybertronian's alt. mode. A Cybertronian's first form is not based on anything they have been exposed to. With an activated spark and mind, their true body forms and solidifies, then as they choose their form seemingly by instinct their protoform finalizes its shape to allow for a transformation between their robot mode and their alternate mode.

Once an alt. mode has been chosen, any modification requires medical assistance and can not seriously change their general shape. But in some instances a practice banned by Functionalism can occur in which a Cybertronian's core components are transferred to a new, compatible body which may be radically different.

The apartheid's segregation created most of what is commonly referred to as a Cybertronian's race. Cybertronians with bestial forms generally got the worst treatment, especially those whose robot modes rather than alternate modes were bestial in nature.

Alphabetically, these are the Cybertronian races:
 * Alternators
 * Beastformers
 * Dinobots (Cold War and beyond.)
 * The Forged (Cold War and beyond.)
 * Insecticons (Civil War and beyond.)
 * Newforged (Currently unplayable.)
 * Predacons (Cold War and beyond.)
 * Shifters (Currently unplayable.)
 * Targetmasters
 * Vehicons
