#as funny as i think Team Shark and Team Tree especially those geeks and nerds definitely named their samples

There's something that Cybertron doesn't have

Evolution

But Earth? Oh boy humans went long way to where they are today.. Animals too like birds used to be dinosaurs(some still look like one and others remember they were big and powerful and fear no man) , whales ussd to be way smaller and walked on land, insects used to be way bigger etcetera

Just humans showing pictures of prehistoric animal and modern animal to bots/cons and them either being fascinated(Shockwave would be engrossed for sure) or straight up confused/sceptical

I think they do have a sort of evolution, depending on the universe.

In TFP, there was an off-comment that Seekers descended from Predacons that Starscream denied. In IDW/MTMTE, the biological differences between the Lost Colonies and Cybertron. Cyberverse explored more of their native fauna. Bayverse had the Dynasty of Primes and the hatchlings.

If anything, it's on a scale that's inconceivable to us, especially with the immense differences in lifespan. It varies from the iteration, but a single vorn is their equivalent of a calander year. 1 vorn = 87 Earth years of human perspective.

Shoot, the modern human is only a scratch of Earth's total years, and there are canon Cybertronians older than that and who are active combatants in their own war.

Look at the megafauna of North America. The massive trees still remember the immense animals that once dominated the land. Even when those creatures went extinct, those trees still retain the ecological quirks that relied upon them to spread seeds and propagate.

Think of it this way, Earth is on a scale that's so fast-paced that it's more like a contained, self-sustaining terrarium of terror and wonderment. Like there could have been Cybertronian field scientists and researchers that tracked the evolution of trees on Earth and have a rivalry with Team Shark because sharks came before trees!
