Cloning is a process of creating the exact or nearly duplicates of a Transformer. After the clones are created, they are given T-cogs to transform into their original's or different alt modes.
Transformers: Prime[]
Project Predacon[]
Shockwave cloned all sorts of things. During the Great War, he successfully cloned a group of Predacons, a long-extinct species of Transformer, from the CNA he found in fossilized remains.
Armada[]
The Harbinger contained a laboratory with five protoforms and all the information needed to achieve cloning. Starscream managed to find it, and immediately utilized its contents to create five Starscream clones.
Nemesis Prime[]
MECH created Nemesis Prime, a non-sentient clone of Optimus Prime, from schematics of the Autobot leader's body and parts acquired from their autopsy of Breakdown, as well as Starscream's t-cog.
Scattered[]
Shockwave later cloned Predaking, and brought him to Earth.
Evolution[]
Subsequent experiments yielded more Predacon clones, but the lab was destroyed before they could develop into adulthood.
Predacons Rising[]
Following his return to Cybertron, Shockwave cloned Darksteel and Skylynx.
Trivia[]
- It is possible that Cybertronian clones possess a portion of the original's consciousness.
