Figured I never posted this here, huh? A tribute to Bob Budyansky’s work and influence that shaped all the TF generations to come, featured in TFNation zine this year :3

Knock Out, Being you are a doctor you may have some kind of idea as to how Predacons can burn Cybertronians so badly. Their breath has to be pretty hot to do so I would imagine. Can you explain how they do this?
uhhg… First of all why on earth are you so interested in those ghastly beasts… but very well…
From what I have observed Predacons breath is not meant to burn or melt a Cybertronians frame away like some incendiary devices might… because the disgusting beasts would prefer to consume their kill… but rather to cause overheating and sluggishness in their victims to make them easier prey. In short they cook a Cybertronian to weaken our defenses. One of the number one cause of death is often damage to ones coolant systems. If a cybertronian cant manage body temperature they risk processor damage among a host of other ailments.
From examining burns and scorch marks on Starscreams body I was able to determine the type of chemical reactions taking place and I have come to the conclusion that Predacons utilize a pure form of liquid oxygen to enhance their fire breath.
Now you may ask “But Cybertron does not have an oxygenated atmosphere like earth?” Ahh But you see Cybertron does in fact have plentiful oxygen readily available if you can extract it. I theorize that Predacons must have internal acids not only to process and break down their eck~ consumed kills… but also electrical organs that can free oxygen from the metals and rust of our wold.
It’s certainly specialized and the process I wager is unique to the Predacons biology but the chemistry is not uncommon. Cybertronians intake gasses and materials often for the production of key elements within our bodies. Such as hydrogen and nitrogen which are utilized internally in the manufacturing of ammonia that we use within our coolant systems.
The same coolant systems that Predaking wreaked havoc on Starscream when he cooked him half to death!!
