Description:

Among Cybertronians there's the so-called normal ones, with reproduction handled via Vector Sigma. Interfacing is done for social bonding/pleasure only. These mechs make up the majority of the species.

Then there's the Zastario. They're considered a myth by most, kind of a bogeyman or urban legend among the mainstream Cybertronian culture; but they're very real, and pass themselves off as regular mechs in order to avoid extermination.

What happens is that to reproduce, a bonded pair of Zastario mechs must mate with a normal mech, both sticky (one deposits an egg and another transfluid) and joint spark while the reproductive code is active. This does a sort of reprogramming whammy-- it ensures that the victim will, no matter his actual feelings on the matter, first will be compelled to keep quiet about it and second to be protective and caring towards the bitlet now growing inside him.

This is what happens when one of the few bonded pairs of Zastario awaken on Earth and find their reproductive coding turned on by the resources and lack of mecha.
