Certain substances can affect the processes of a Transformer (or a human,
for that matter) causing excitement, stupefaction or any one of a whole
host of altered mental states. While some are socially accepted and
legally available from certain establishments, others are outlawed due to their dangerous or addictive nature.
Angolmois Energy (アンゴルモアエネルギー Angorumoa Enerugī), or simply Angolmois, is the life-force of Unicron.
It is a powerful energy source which oftentimes has completely random
and unpredictable effects on the things it comes in contact with. It can
upgrade a Transformer and give them new bodies, or it can lift
mountains and freeze planets.
Just like Unicron, Angolmois Energy is extremely chaotic. It appears to be functionally identical to Dark Energon.[1] One form of containment for portions of this substance is referred to as an Angolmois Capsule (アンゴルモアカプセル Angorumoa Kapuseru).
As human beings spread out across the galaxy from Earth, they took with them the skills to distill intoxicating liquors. One such beverage is known as Betelgeux whiskey and though popular, it can leave a careless drinker with a bad hangover the next day.
The powerful crysmagnetal (クリスマグネタル kurisumagunetaru), shortened to crysmag, is a substance found only in the sunken continent of Lemuria. When energy is directed against it, it absorbs, magnifies, and redirects that energy, projecting it outwards.
Dark Energon is a powerful, corrupted version of energon which can be used as a violent weapon and explosive. As energon is the emanation of Primus, from which all Transformer life and power is formed, Dark Energon is similarly the emanation of Unicron, released after his first battle with the thirteen original Transformers.
Even the smallest particle of Dark Energon can corrupt any amount of
regular energon. Dark Energon can be used for a number of deadly uses
such as increasing one’s power, reviving the dead, corrupting
Transformers and even weakening some. It appears to be functionally
identical to Angolmois energy.[1]

Invented by Quickmix on Cybertron, Fool’s Energon supposedly saps the strength of a Transformer, leaving them physically weaker than normal. In actuality, it’s a placebo, being nothing more than standard energon with an altered color and a foul taste.
Nucleon is an incredibly powerful energy source capable of being used as fuel by Transformers
and other mechanoid life forms, but though it can give great strength
and power and has even revived the nonfunctional, it often has terrible
side effects. Nucleon is said to affect no two types of mechanoid the
same. One very common effect for Transformers is the loss of transformation ability. The Action Masters resulted from injudicious use of this mysterious, dangerous substance.
Nucleon appears as a funky liquid with a dangerous glow. It looks
like fun, and seems to help, but don’t be a fool! Listen to your momma
and stay off the stuff!
Oil is a generic term for a slippery liquid that won’t mix readily with water. Oils vary widely in composition but generally consist of mixed organic compounds.
Oils find frequent use as lubricants, fuels, and solvents. Transformers
are among the users of oils in these capacities; however, they
sometimes consume certain oily substances in larger quantities than
strictly required, resulting in impairment of certain functions,
disorientation, and temporary mental dysfunction. Though at first it may
seem odd, some actively seek these seemingly-deleterious effects. What
is odder yet is that humans
seek out and consume varying solutions of a certain hydrocarbon with a
single hydroxyl group and experience effects quite similar to those
mentioned above. Further study is needed to explain this strange
coincidence.
Oil is often extracted by oil rigs, and transported in oil tankers and pipelines. All of these are popular targets for Decepticon attacks.
Reality inside Reality, that’s what Simultronic means to its
users. A drugging sensation applied through wires that are to be
attached to the head component, Simultronic is both a way for Transformers to escape this slagging world and to seriously mess up their central processor.
Syk is the street name of a forbidden circuit booster, presumably the Cybertronic equivalent of an illicit narcotic. Syk is forbidden even among the Decepticons.
Syk’s effects (and negative side-effects) are unknown, but it may be similar to overclocking,
where the increased strain on the boosted system carries a risk of
burnout. Alternately (given its dealers), it may be chemical in nature.
