A fascinating term. Elucidate, if you would, on what the field entails.

How can I not when someone shows the motivation to learn? If you are familiar with genetics as it relates to organic beings, then technogenetics is a similar field that applies to mechanical beings as myself. I study how I can influence the CNA of Cybertronians and other species through experimentation and modification of their bodies.

I've recently looked into combining biology with this field, but that's more of a secret project.

Ah-hah! A fellow scholar of life itself. I am a master of genetics and cybernetics-

[ He takes the time to gesture to his signature pointy metal noggin, though he's got more cyborg enhancements than that on the inside. Most of his many bodies are more machine than flesh. ]

And would be most interested in your work. Do you have a goal you strive to achieve? Or are you a seeker of knowledge for the sake of knowing?

[eugenesis]

Are you? I want to find a way to blend organic and organic lifeforms to create something more powerful, perhaps we can share notes. My Headmaster program was destroyed before I could fully unleash it upon the universe, but by linking with a human, I was able to return to my original body and sidestep detection systems as my Spark is no longer fully Cybertronian.

[Ah, the merits of using lives for science!]

My ultimate goal...is to repopulate my homeplanet of Cybertron.

How fascinating... my goal is also to repopulate my race! For I am the last of my once great species!

I am XEMNU, THE LIVING HULK!

[ His explosive, thundering voice gets extra loud when he introduces himself and comes with dramatic gesturing. ]

I was once wholly organic myself, but have found how to merge myself with machine- we approach the same problem from opposite ends! Together we may succeed!

[ And probably betray each other at some point. ]

[eugenesis]

[Scorponok crosses his arms and nods at this display.] I ought to learn how to do that with my voice. It would make intimidating my enemies so much easier if I didn't have to waste time fighting.

[And he'd get some actual respect! No more tricks from some nobodies while he's busy gloating.]

Interesting...I hear that mechanical implants in organics are more common than organic in mechanical, but rebuilding new limbs for ourselves is easier when all you need is metal and some good engineering. The problem is the connection between the two lives...

[He leans forward, the giant robot towering over Xemnu.]

Tell me, can you share your findings on connecting your machine parts to your original body?
