[Transformers] Are Transformers born or made?

Are the Transformers born or made by something? We know there's been Cybertronians in the past and in the Beast Wars, it's the decendents of the Autobots and Decepticons, so are the born or made, or are all Cybertronians just always around till they die?

We have seen Transformers come about through the following means:

* Built from Scratch (G1: Dinobots, Trypticon, Technobots)
* Imbued with life via a "spark" (Beast Wars, Comics, Late G1, Bay movies)
* Budding (G2 Comics)

The answer really depends on the continuity you're talking about and at what time frame within that continuity.
