So I know you all have been sitting on the edge of your seats. Well. y'all can rest easy. LEGO is giving up on the idea, at least on the short-term:

https://www.energymonitor.ai/news/signal-oil-free-lego-bricks-scrapped-amid-sustainability-concerns/

They still want to do environmentally-sustainable bricks, eventually, but their plan to create bricks out of recycled water bottles failed immeasurably and actually left more of a carbon footprint than just making plastic out of petroleum.

So, our Transformers are safe, at least for the forseeable future.
