I don't know that we were made by anybody. I also don't know that we weren't. What I know is that if we were made by another species, nobody remembers for sure who they were. Now, at least, we make each other. The sparks come from hot spots and we make the bodies that they go in.
Is there some reason why you think mechanical life needs to have been made by organic life? Just because that's how it happened on your world--your Earth, not the Earth I know--doesn't mean it happens that way always.
It seems like there are a lot of universes that have a planet called Earth with humans on it. We're not planning to invade your Earth. But we already invaded the Earth in our universe. Currently we only have a few outposts there. We tried to take it over, but the Autobots are extremely annoying, and for some reason, they really like humans.
I mean...I like humans as individuals just fine. But it took us four million years to mess up our planet as badly as we have. Their technology is worse than ours, but they are way ahead of us on the messing-up-the-planet timeline. Cybertron is kind of a mess, but when we were less than a million years old as a species, it was still really nice.
Given that we're one of the most destructive species in the galaxy, and they have managed to frag up their planet way more in way less time... I can kind of understand why Megatron was a little worried about what would happen if humans became an interstellar power.
(My husband--my conjunx--is interested in the environment on Earth. He likes animals. Especially elephants.)
Anyhow, if my conjunx and I manage to get control of our faction, we're going to try to move energon mining off Earth and into the rest of the solar system. Given that there's energon on Earth, and it's a mineral, which means it doesn't depend on the existence of a biosphere...we think it's likely there's plenty on the outer planets, it's just a little harder to find because the atmospheres are so dense and interfere with our scans.
Honestly, though? Humans could do a lot worse than to have us running the place. Our ability to mess up biospheres has taught us kind of a lot about how to fix them, and now that the war is over I think that can actually happen, and...
I'm going on and on about this. You don't care about this. It's not your Earth, I'm just thinking out loud because thinking about things like this is my job now. Sorry.
(It would help if we had some idea where all the weird energon ores on the colonies are coming from and why we keep finding them on planets that are already inhabited, when the conditions that lead to the development of intelligent life really shouldn't have any overlap with the development of energon ores...)
Primus' sainted aftbreach, I'm getting as bad as my conjunx about not being able to stop thinking about work..
