Guardian Spark (Head-Canon)

What Is A Guardian Spark?

Guardian Spark

This is a type of mutated spark that is strong enough to create and house another spark within it before emerging safely and sufficiently as a sparkling. It will keep doing this until it reaches it's comfortable limit. There are three versions of the mutation.

Bio Type-Mutual: This is a mutation that allows the spark to bud and nurture miniature sparks. The sparkling(s) usually have enough of the Guardian's CNA in them to verify they're related and take on the Guardian's frame-type.

Bio Type-Optional: This is similar to Bio Type-Mutual, except they don't share the same frame-type as their Guardian. This happens when the new-spark declines the frame-type of their Guardian, opting to create It's own frame coding instead. These sparks are never the same frame-type as their Guardian.

Bio Type-Meld: If a Point One Percenter also has a Guardian Spark, then they can have both versions of the mutation happen at once. It is rare but possible. This mutation is referred to as Bio Type-Meld.

Protector(s):
A Protector is a bot the Guardian chooses to help them take care of the sparkling(s). If anything happens to the Guardian, the Protector will take over (The Protector can be anyone the Guardian trusts). This is possible when the Guardian shares the mutation with them. There is a low chance the Protector will become a Guardian as well.

Keeper:
A Keeper is a type of adoption where a Guardian or Protector takes in an abandoned or orphaned sparkling that Isn't within their group. Normal Cybertronians can also become Keepers, but it can be harder for them (Since a normal bot doesn't have Guardian/Protector Coding). They form bonds as strong as any Guardian/Protector, the only difference is that they do not share the same CNA, and they have the option to sever the bond.

Abilities:
The mutation can strengthen the frame, making it more durable. And if the bot is an outliner, the mutation can also strengthen whatever abilities they have. New coding will be added to aid the Guardian in taking care of/protecting their sparkling(s). The Protector also has this coding, except they can manually activate it. They are the only ones who can safely approach a Guardian when their coding is activated.

Notes:
1) Normal Cybertronians are unable to have sparklings. If they try, they will offline. A Point One Percenter could succeed, but they will be permanently damaged in some way, so it's not ideal.

2) Due to the unique coding and mutation of the Guardian Spark, bots can procreate sparklings Individually.

3) The Guardian Spark Mutation cannot be spread without consent from both parties, therefore it is not contagious.

4) When a Sparkling is grown, they can choose whether they want a sparkling or not. If not, their mutation stays dormant, if so, the mutation will activate. It depends on what they want.
