justroddythings:

• The usage of “frag”, “slag”, and “scrap” as cuss words
• Lovers (conjunx endurae) being called “sparkmates”
• Queer-platonic relationships (amica endurae)
• While Megatron and Optimus are seen as very old, they are not. Megatron is five million years old, and OP stated that Megatron is a little older than him. Bots older than them include but are certainly not limited to: Rung, Whirl, Ironhide, Kup, Ratchet, Cyclonus, Tailgate, Rewind, Red Alert and Minimus Ambus/Ultra Magnus
• Starscream was a representative in the Senate
• Camiens laud those who have carried the Matrix as gods; they would view Rodimus just as they do Optimus
• Young Cybertronians being called “sparklings”
• Rodimus spent three days trying to program his holomatter avatar to have a sweatband
• Before becoming Optimus Prime, Orion Pax was close friends with Megatron. He read and quoted Megatron’s Towards Peace and was even unsure if he was on “the right side”
• Whirl likes French films
• Rodimus is 4.2 million years old – only 800k years younger than Megatron
• Mecha from Caminus have different spark frequencies than that of normal Cybertronians, causing their energon to be blue rather than pink
• Megatron and Impactor worked together in the mines and were best friends
• Cyclonus was on the Ark-1
• Alcoholic beverages (engex)
• Rodimus, Whirl, Skids, Swerve, Tailgate, and Ultra Magnus have all customized their holomatter avatars
• Soundwave and Drift both grew up in the gutters of Rodion and were taken in by Megatron
• There’s a mech on the Lost Light named Toaster, who turns into a toaster
• Whirl was alt-mode exempt and a watchmaker of sorts. After the Empurata procedure, he changed his name (Whirl was not his original name), frame, and started hanging out in Rodion’s gutters, where Drift and Soundwave lived. He then became a prison guard and beat up Megatron, causing the latter to be pushed over the edge and start the war
• Nautica is the exact picture of Pipes’ Dream Conjunx, but he died before getting the chance to meet her
• Rodimus, formerly Hot Rod, grew up in the streets of Nyon and took care of other homeless people, and was approached directly by Megatron, who was hoping to recruit
• Before becoming Rodimus, Hot Rod was about Rung’s size
• Certain Decepticons in high standing with Megatron had special ceremonies performed by one of the Warriors Elite or Megatron himself in which the chosen Decepticon would have a piece of their spark casing removed and forged into their Badge
• On both sides of the war, some mecha had real, physical badges, while others were simply painted on
• Megatron is a forged spark in a cold-constructed body
• Shockwave was a senator, and ran an academy for outliers (which Skids, Trailbreaker/Trailcutter, and Damus/Glitch, who would later become Tarn). He and Orion Pax (who was later to become Optimus Prime) were close friends
• Mecha saying “I could hug you!”
• Drift is filthy rich for a reason undisclosed
• Rodimus and Swerve are both religious, just not obnoxiously so
• Orion Pax had his insides rearranged by Shockwave’s techs to make a hole in his chassis – unbeknownst to him, Shockwave was doing this to MANY mechs to make it possible for them to carry the Matrix of Leadership. Had it not been for the hole created by Shockwave, Orion Pax would have never been able to become Optimus Prime
• Even then, it hurt Orion Pax when the Matrix bonded with him and made him into Optimus Prime – when the Matrix bonded with Hot Rod and made him into Rodimus Prime, it felt good and right
• Even by Cybertronian standards, Prowl is considered “heavy”
• Chromedome was still able to lift him over his head and throw him off a cliff
• Rodimus (Hot Rod at the time) broke into Styx, one of the most high-security Decepticon-owned prisons to ever exist, to break out Dealer, a former member of his unit (who then promptly betrayed him)
• Chromedome and Brainstorm worked for The Institute, which was responsible for mind-wiping, Shadowplay, and Empurata
• Drift joined the Decepticons at the very beginning of the war and only became an Autobot near the tail end of the war, less than a century before its close (He became an Autobot after meeting Wing, and then pretty quickly became a Wrecker and went to Earth in a time period likely to be the 80s or 90s). For nearly all of the 4 million years the war went on, he was Deadlock, amongst the most horrifying Decepticons out there, and was favored by Megatron enough that the warlord sent his most notorious bounty hunter out to go find him even after Deadlock had betrayed his superior officer’s orders and went rogue
• Megatron never got an Autobot badge of his own; he still wears Bumblebee’s

Feel free to add your own!

– Cyclonus is also filthy rich.

That’s all I’ve got, but can someone show me where it says Starscream was a representative? I feel like I remember it, but I’m having a hard time placing it.

Starscream was a delegate in TF: Autocracy.

-Cyclonus was into real estate in his hometown of Tetrahex

-If Ratchet ever dies, he’s made it clear that Whirl can have his (forged, formerly Pharma’s) hands. A doctor’s hands might be the only ones comparable to the ones Whirl lost.

-There are legal and social benefits to formalizing your friendships into amica endurae (especially in Camien society). It’s like a cross between a patron/client relationship and a platonic marriage, and at least for Camiens, severing that formal relationship is socially humiliating, especially for the one who didn’t request it.

-Cyclonus is also religious, and this includes reservations about cosmetic frame repairs (one of the reasons he doesn’t repair his own horn. But he wears the one Tailgate makes for him, and repairs his face after it’s clear Tailgate will live.)

-Ratchet repaired Drift after he nearly overdosed before the war, and they have felt something like a duty towards each other ever since

-…it is strongly implied that Prowl had feelings for Chromedome. Things have happened, and all parties are super bitter about it

-Brainstorm is cold-constructed, but leads everyone to believe he’s forged.

-Rewind occupied a very strange space in Cybertronian society as a young mech. He was ‘disposable class,’ and therefore had less rights and less access to quality fuel…but he is also a memory stick, and someone to be slightly wary of because he Knows Things. And also the spouse of one of the most respected citizens on the entire planet at the time.

-Tailgate demanding a curly straw was in fact a catalyst for war.

-Whirl considers Rung a friend.

-Misfire has ADHD.

-Red Alert was a target for Shadowplay before the war. It’s not just his mental illness, people really were messing with his mind.

-Megatron is afraid of needles and mnemosurgery.

-First Aid is obsessed with Agent 113.

-Rung’s big secret (or, one of them) is that he’s been expelled/disbarred for becoming too close to his patients. Explains a lot, actually.

-Swerve is a scientist & doctor! (?) He’s a top metallurgist (the Cybertronian equivalent of a dermatologist & orthopedist) and was instrumental in developing the cure for cybercrosis.
