are the crystals around prisma the different energon types she ended up creating? :0 what are the properties of each one?
Yep! Info will be under the cut since it’s a tad lengthy.
Wanted to start this off by quickly explaining a few things:
-The green one isn't Synth-En and the purple one isn't Dark Energon. However, the red one is the same Red Energon from the show. It'll get elaborated further below. I did try differentiating their respective colors to prevent confusion, but eh lol
-To prevent a mix-up, Prisma stores all of her Energon in containers different than that of Team Prime and the Decepticons.
-I originally planned to have the Energon sparkle to make them stand out, but felt it would be a tad much so I left it out in the end.
-There were a few more types but I couldn't find my old notes. Always keep backups, folks. One granted telepathy, another telekinesis, one for size shifting, and another for teleportation.
-In addition to being additional fuel sources, each Energon type would grant a different ability for a certain amount of time. These abilities were meant for more practical and mundane uses rather than the war efforts, especially since Prisma didn't even know a war was coming. In the present, she makes it clear she'd rather have the Energon be used for everyday life rather than any form of conflict.
-When captured and put in stasis, some of her captors injected Prisma with each Energon type to see what would happen as a sick joke, as she was meant to be executed soon anyway. As she remained in stasis for millions of years after that, all of that Energon permanently altered her systems, which also permanently gave her the current abilities she has. She can be sustained on a small amount of regular Energon, as it replenishes the other types in her systems.
The Alternative Energon
Lum-En (White)
Creates hard light.
When as fuel, it allows one to create hard-light constructs Green Lantern style.
Its intended use is to mainly act as an alternative light source as well.
Prisma views it as Energon in its most purified form. When combined with regular Energon, it can cleanse all of the Dark Energon in one's systems.
When spilled, it takes on a pastel rainbow color.
Frost-En (Pale Blue)
Creates ice.
When used as fuel, it can give ice properties to a bot's weapons, allowing their blasters to produce ice, for example.
Its intended use is to help bots to avoid or are in danger of overheating.
Prisma can create snow by producing small clouds.
Splash-En (Cyan)
Creates water.
When used as fuel, it allows bots to synthesize water. Larger doses grants the ability to even create rain clouds when more water is needed.
Its intended use is to aid in putting out fires.
When combined with Flame-En, it creates mist.
When combined with a small dose of Frost-En, it creates fog.
Flor-En (Lime Green)
Creates and maintains plants.
As it was created by complete accident, it doesn't have much in the way of practical use, at least for Cybertronians.
Still perfectly fine for consumption, though.
Safe for organic beings like humans, Flor-En can also help make almost any land fertile.
After learning about Earth's flowers, Prisma enjoys creating them for fun. You'd definitely be seeing giant roses and sunflowers around, for example.
Zap-En (Yellow)
Creates electricity.
When used as fuel, it grants one electricity-based abilities, such as stunning and shocking. Those that already have such abilities would instead get a boost in power.
Its intended use is to help power machines such as non-sentient vehicles and ships.
Rock-En (Pale Orange)
Creates rocks and stones.
When used as fuel, it grants one the ability to create and manipulate the earth (much like an Earthbender).
Much like Flor-En, Rock-En was created by complete accident. It has more practical use on the battlefield depending on where the fights are taking place.
Aero-En (Light Grey)
Creates air and winds.
When used as fuel, it can grant one wind-based abilities for either offensive or defensive purposes, including blasts that can knock opponents away.
Its intended purpose is to help ease the turbulence encountered by ships and other aircrafts.
When combined with Frost-En, it can create icy winds.
Magn-En (Dark Grey)
Causes magnetism and can manipulate magnetic fields.
When used as fuel, it grants one the power over magnetism, and can give similar properties to various weapons.
Its intended use is for every day needs such as repairs, and the operation of certain vehicles.
Grav-En (Dark Purple)
Can manipulate gravitational fields.
When used as fuel, it can boost one's weapons to create a stronger impact. In higher doses, they can manipulate the gravity around them.
Its intended use is primarily for vehicles, and to provide stability to various structures like towers, bridges and even floating cities.
When combined with Aero-En, it can grant flight. This is how Prisma herself is able to fly without an alt-mode.
Gem-En (Pink)
Creates crystals.
When used as fuel, the bot can create crystals from energy, and can shape them however they wish. Can be combined with explosives for rather devastating results.
Its intended use ranges from medical to construction. The crystals can be shaped into temporary prosthetics, various tools and are incredibly useful when it comes to repairs. The crystals are as durable as needed, but can still be shattered with enough damage.
Prisma herself uses Gem En a lot when working in her lab, using it to give herself extra limbs to increase productivity.
Burst-En (Red)
The perfected version of the Red Energon that appears on Transformers Prime.
It grants super speed and enhanced strength.
The original intent was to increase energy and productivity, essentially the Cybertronian equivalent of an energy drink. It turned out to be much stronger than expected.
Prisma herself uses it in very small doses when working.
Flame-En (Orange)
Creates fire.
It grants the bot the equivalent of pyrokinesis, giving them all manner of control over fire. They can even temporarily redirect the oncoming flames from a Predacon, at least long enough to buy time to escape.
The original intent was to help with welding and forging.
When combined with Zap-En, it can create combustion.
