A few days ago; I made a post contemplating the effects Chronic Energon Deficiency (CED) might have on techno-organics such as Sari Sumdac. In particular I imagined greatly increased appetite, and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Between me making the original post and now, @ghanaii-porter reblogged it saying:
And it got me thinking. What if she wasn’t a-ok? CED must have had some effect, so I gave it some more thought, and then it hit me: delayed growth.
Think about it; when Sari absorbed the energy of the Allspark Key, she grew 1.5, maybe 2 feet taller. She went from looking about the right size for her age (8 years old) to looking like she was at least 14. What if that’s her proper height, and the lack of energon slowed her development, keeping her smaller than she should be? Thus when she absorbed the key; the overcharge of energy caused her frame to undergo an accelerated period of compensatory growth.
If-and-probably-when she starts drinking energon at least semi-regularly, she’ll likely grow even more because of it. I figure as an adult she’d probs be around 7-8 feet tall and more visibly techno-organic outside of battle mode. (tfwiki.net calls it her robot mode, but battle mode makes more sense to me)
