Spiritual reproduction (We're off to see the Wizard)
Disclaimer: I do not own Transformers and all I get out of this is good mood.
Apokalupsis eschaton: literally it means "revelation at the end of the æon." This would be the end of her age, the time to lift the veil.
The All Spark sang to Judy Garland, calling for her as she had called for Ron Witwicky. She was so afraid; she was the gate to the Matrix, to Primus, but could the gate enter even if a new one took her place? But she was a surrogate mother and midwife to a whole species and she had to do right by them, even if it was at the cost of her existence. And so she sang.

Follow, follow, follow, follow,

Follow the Yellow Brick, Follow the Yellow Brick,

Reproduction is the process by which new individual organisms are produced. Only one parent is involved in asexual reproduction; agamogenesis which refers to reproduction without the fusion of gametes. Many forms of asexual reproduction, for example budding or fragmentation, produce an exact replica of the parent.Parthenogenesis, which literally translates as virginal creation, is an asexual form of reproduction found in females where growth and development of embryos or seeds occurs without fertilization by a male. It would be a little like budding too; she would be divided. Semelparous organisms reproduce only once in their lifetime and they often die shortly after reproduction and that she had to be now. There were definitely parallels, but of course her evolution wasn't quite that simple.
She had to have faith in Primus.
She needed help to create the first egg, needed somebody to divide it from her body. No fertilization was needed, just a little mechanic help. The chosen helper was a male of his species. A male that made necessary contribution to the reproduction: sire or father. Also, she would be gone too soon to see through the processes of embryogenesis and morphogenesis; the development process which in this case would take several mega-cycles. Gestation: called pregnancy in humans and probably in other sentient beings, the period of time during which the fetus develops, dividing via mitosis inside the female. She needed a gestational carrier to carry the pregnancy to delivery after having been implanted with an embryo; she needed a surrogate mother.
She had to be brave.
We're off to see the Wizard, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
You'll find he is a whiz of a Wiz! If ever a Wiz! there was.
If ever oh ever a Wiz! there was The Wizard of Oz is one because,
Because, because, because, because, because.
Because of the wonderful things he does.
The virgin birth is a religious tenet of Christianity and Islam which holds that Mary miraculously conceived Jesus, the offspring of their Creator, while remaining a virgin.
As I will it so shall it be.
Reg was beginning to truly panic. Not because he was in a supply closet hiding from evil alien killing machines trying to conquer the universe, but because he was there with a person that had gone off her rocket. First Judy claimed she was a teabag and now she sang!
"We're off to see the Wizard. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." Her voice finally, thankfully, faded into silence and Reg was holding his breath. Nobody appeared to have noticed they were there. He had never been particularly religious, but now he prayed with all his might that Judy wouldn't reveal where they were.
"What the hell are you thinking? Are you mad?" he whispered, wondering if she even realized she was. Had the terror been too much for her? But Judy just smiled. It was a strange smile, not quite there, but a very confident, reassuring smile much to Reg's surprise.
"We need to go, somehow," she said and it was a good idea. If only the noise of the battle would go away.
Judy felt so serene, so confident that everything would go according to the plan. A small part of her was demanding to know just what plan there was, but it was a very quiet voice. She just knew that the Judy had to be the Dorothy, the gift of God.
Time measurements. Some of them vary in different continuities. I took Wreckers from IDW and I decided to be consistent with my continuities.
astrosecond 0.498 seconds
breem 8.3 minutes
cycle (IDW continuity) 1 hour 15 minutes (1.25 hours)
mega-cycle (IDW) 93 hours
deca-cycle (IDW) about 3 weeks
stellar cycle (IDW)7.5 months

AN: The name Dorothy is of Greek origin and its meaning is "gift of God".
I did this little piece because I felt the All Spark had to get her moment in the limelight too. Also, I wanted to explain about the All Spark as the Creator versus Primus as the Creator dilemma.
So. The All Spark was created and given to Prima, the predecessor of the Primes, by the All-Creator Primus who very much does exist in this AU. There is no empirical proof of this however and so the official version goes that no one knows where the All Spark comes from. The strict scientific rationalism of atechnogenesis rejects traditional religious claims that Primus is the source of all life on Cybertron, and much of the ancient doctrine surrounding the All Spark. Many still believe the religious version and Optimus Prime is naturally one of them. Otherwise it would be like the pope being an atheist.
