[SUPER SERIOUS MCCOY HERE]

I'm not going to state the obvious, and how ridiculous this entire mess is. I'm not going to make this too long either. But now that many of you robots are human, or... dogs of some sort, you may have yourselves a few or a galaxy-load's worth of questions.

I am here to answer those questions, to the best of my abilities, as well as provide you with a document of basic human common sense.

I'm sure many of you Cybertronians are used to rock 'em and sock 'em sort of business, but unfortunately, as a human, your skin is not metal and your bones are not made from steel. If you are struck hard enough, you will not only be in pain, but you may break your skin, bruise it, or something more serious. You cannot consume oil or energon or gasoline, and you will find your body doing things that are either confusing or downright horrifying by your standards. But instead of freaking out and doing something stupid, read over this document or ask me how I can help.

I'm a doctor, and part of my job is to educate people and my patients with basic and important health information, especially when you people can't tell the difference between phalanges and phlegm.

That and while I'm more than happy to use my talents God graced me with, I'd rather not see so many of you coming in from an easily avoidable accident. Like, say, sticking your fingers in an electrical socket as if this could recharge you.

It will not.

[Then, if you so wish, he uploads the document. It's titled "sonowyouarehuman101" and while it is very clear, concise, and easy to follow, there is a nice layer of smarm for you to enjoy as well.]

As for you dogs or the rest of you who have been altered to an animal form, you're on your own. God speed, Fidos and Mews of this world.

[Locked to Solus]

So, care sharing with the rest of the class what might be going on here? Do you guys got any ideas? I haven't heard much. Of anythin'. I don't know if that's good or bad. But I can understand why, if this is something serious, you'd rather have complete confirmation and understanding over the matter before unleashing information unto the public. Mass hysteria, maybe.

Still. If there's a way I can help, let me know. Your people are turning into my people. Maybe I won't be so useless.

Good.

In general: calcium, collagen, minerals, protein, marrow.

Why? Should I be concerned or is this just asked for curiosity's sake?

[treacherous_widow]

Curiosity sake.

And on that vein of though, just how much damage can the human body take? You know, just so I have a limit.

[adamndoctor]

If you're lookin' for a percentage, can't help you. The human body reacts differently to certain amounts of stress, pain, and force depending on certain circumstances.

For you, I'd recommend not over-exerting yourself into anything too dangerous. Oh, you can exercise, do yoga, kickbox, whatever. But I wouldn't recommend trying to take on a giant robot or seeing how far your fist can go into a steel wall.

If yer body starts to feel weak, if you start to get tired and sore, maybe experience vertigo or hard time breathing, usually it's time for a break. Your body needs to rest; without rest, the less it can take. And without rest at all, well - you die, so. [shrug] There's that.

Well duh I need rest. Even a bot needs that. What I don't understand is why you apes evolved to be so squishy and fragile. Even your ancestors were a little more durable then this. Not by much, but they still were more durable.

[adamndoctor]

Well, I'm glad you get it. But some people don't see the reason for sleeping.

We evolved to match our environment, mostly. Also, we don't need to worry about having armored skin or... whatever makes up you robots.

And, listen. We ain't so fragile as you may think. We've got our own ammo and armor for our "enemies".

[treacherous_widow]

Yeah yeah, your tools, weapons. Whatever. If you evolved to match your environment, then It would make more sense to have some sort of armored skin for your species or poison or something lethal at least.

I get you got the brains of the evolutionary pot, but it baffles me why not armor or natural weapons. The environment your species evolved in was less than friendly.

[adamndoctor]

Ah, so you've been to Earth, huh? Some parts of my planet are uncharted, wild, and dangerous. Men can survive in certain conditions, they would just need to adapt to their surroundings. You certainly wouldn't see a city boy adjustin' right off the bat to a remote tropical jungle ecosystem, for example.

During evolution, we found our brains were our best weapon. We don't require armored skin or genetic, built-in guns or whatever, as we evolved to become the top of the food chain. Y'see, instead, we built weapons and armor. Some argue this was a very, very bad idea, and in some circumstances, I can agree. But for the most part, it's just how and what you use 'em for.

[treacherous_widow]

Yeah, you could say that if you could a prehistoric version of your planet.

I'm not going to argue that brains and weapons aren't important. I just think your species evolution missed a few golden opportunities to improve on its apex predator. That's the part I'm curious about.
