Homebrew Cybertronian Species Details

Transformers (officially known as Cybertronians) are a race of living, sentient machines from a distant metal world. They do not have flesh or blood. Instead, their bodies are forged of alien alloys, powered by a mystical inner life force known as the Spark.

Cybertronian Traits

constructed resilience

Constructed Resilience

You have advantage on saving throws against being poisoned, and you have resistance to poison damage. You don’t need to eat, drink, or breathe. You are immune to disease. Magic can’t put you to sleep.

Living Metal

Your AC is at least 13 + your Dexterity modifier (maximum +2) while unarmored, as your chassis provides natural armor. You can use a shield and still benefit.

Transformation

As a bonus action, you can transform between Robot Mode (humanoid) and Alternate Mode (choose one vehicle or object form when creating your character, subject to DM approval). Examples:

  • Vehicle Mode (e.g., truck, car, jet): Your speed doubles (or gains fly/swim speed if appropriate, up to 60–90 ft.), but you can’t use weapons, cast spells with somatic/material components easily, or manipulate objects finely. You gain advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks to pass as a normal object/vehicle.
  • Object/Beast Mode (e.g., tank, cassette, mechanical animal): Similar benefits with thematic adjustments.
