Botanica

This article is about a fictional character. For the type of store known as a "botanica" see botánica. Botanica is a character from the Beast Machines animated television series (specifically only its second season). She is unique in that she is a female Maximal with an alternate plant form, a first in Transformer history. Oddly, there was never a figure made for her in the franchise's entire run. Like Optimus Primal and his crew aboard the Axalon, Botanica was commissioned on the same extensive deep-space research mission funded by the Maximal Elders. Her ship monitored and landed on a planet populated by plant-based creatures. Thus, to survive and study the environment, the few members of the crew DNA-scanned plant modes, Botanica's form resembling a sort of wild orchid. When Botanica returned to Cybertron (in response to a false distress signal, implemented by Megatron, designed to lure any planetary inhabitants back to their doom), her ship was shot down by Cybertron's orbital defenses and she was instantly infected with Megatron's transformation virus. At first thought to be an alien life form by the Maximals, Optimus Primal realized Botanica was suffering from the virus and reformatted her into a technorganic body.
