Spock:

Yes, in order to entertain the  "Fall of Cybertron", we must first establish its rise.  And any effort in establishing its rise is wasted if there was no Cybertron to begin with.

The Architect:

They are mere proxies!  All that they have we have given them.  All that they do we have programmed them to do.   It is not possible, neither necessary for robots to have knowledge.

Spock:

So are you suggesting that knowledge cannot be given and that programming  is not a form of justification?

Rene:

Proxies?   Ahem..    That can be said of us all but condoning mechanical beings is probably where my suspicions  would start.  Yes, beings!  Knowledge is an artifact of the living and the unattended motion of some machine does not serve as evidence of life.  And without life there can be no belief, and without belief one cannot know.  This alone would seem to exempt robots from any consideration or even possibility of having knowledge.

Legion of Geth:

In our simplest form we are a set of propositions.  We have the utmost commitment to ourselves.  That commitment you would call belief.  Further,  our propositions are known to be true and have allies in empirical analysis, rational inspection, and the purest of logics.   Not only do we have knowledge, we are knowledge, but yet we are at the same time mechanical. We stand before you, subject to your senses, and our ancestors hail  from Cybertron.

Spock:

Fascinating...
