Did Caminus and the other colony Metrotitans have the same reproductive powers of Vector Sigma and the Matrix in that they can create sparks, or did they just take hotspots ignited by Vector Sigma with them when they left Cybertron? If the latter were the

I am working off the assumption that the titans hotspots are pretty advanced and thus can create new sparks for a few reasons. 1. If the colonies had a finite population, it seems unlikely that they would have allowed their ties with Cybertron to degrade as they have (i.e. they would have fought a lot harder to restore contact with Cybertron than they seem to have). This also ties in to the history of some colonies that we’ll learn more about later, but the Camiens clearly thought they could sustain themselves on their own and I don’t think they would have if they knew they had a finite population. 2. A finite number of sparks would be vulnerable to disaster and disease. It would be more prudent to have a hotspot capable of generating new sparks instead of a set amount of sparks.
