CR Chambers/Stasis Pods
CR (cryogenic regeneration) chambers are a relatively new advancement in Cybertronian medical technology. They can heal remarkable amounts of damage, making them capable of reviving stasis lock or worse.
The base principle of the CR chamber is deceptively simple. They have their own increasingly advanced nanotech to assist in repairs, but they primarily operate by boosting a Cybertronian's natural healing process. By replacing the wounded mechanoid in suspension, the chamber allows that bot's internal regeneration circuitry to focus solely on repairs. The chamber senses which sections are the most badly damaged and directs the mechanoid's own internal processors to focus on those areas instead of merely initiation general maintenance; the chamber thus focuses and supercharges the regeneration circuitry, allowing repairs to take place up to hundreds of times faster than they would otherwise. Although they were common use during the war, their high energy consumption and delicate technology limited their use to starships and ground-based facilities.
The origins of the CR chamber also tie into the Stasis Pod; stasis pods are primarily used to store newly forged protoforms after they take shape and mature into fully functional mechanoids. They keep the protoform in total isolation, supported and nurtured by lubricated fluid. Because of their ability to keep a Cybertronian dormant with minimal energy loss, stasis pods have also been employed to conserve resources, such as storing crew members during extended space flight. Their ability to maintain docility and dormancy has also led to their use in Cybertronian prison and detention systems.
