au where beta is an important cybertronian historical figure and there’s statues of her decapitating quintessons all over iacon

au where beta is sometimes referred to as ‘the first prime’ or the ‘warrior prime’ because of her ability to drive out the quintessons and the way that she united the people until her death from cosmic rust a few thousand years later, where upon the newly dubbed cybertronians dissolved into squabbling tribes until galvatron was able to unite them once again

I’M GONNA PROVE THAT CYBERTRONIANS ARE CLOSER TO PLANTS IN ANATOMY THAN MECHANICS AND ELECTRONICS AND I’LL FUCKING PROVE IT USING BITS OF CANON

SO FAR FUNGI ARE DOING BETTER THAN PLANTS IN BEING CYBERTRONIAN LIKE

– complex cell structures while still having a cell wall rather than just a membrane (my main argument for cybertronians being non-animal organics; their metal is extremely hard cell wall structures)

– can reproduce both sexually and asexually; in Marvel they’ve shown to reproduce via budding

– grows well in damp acidic areas; cybertron has acidic rain and in uh… some continuities cybertron just doesn’t have a sun anymore

– We don’t know what Primus is in the continuities he’s cybertron itself, energon could be a waste product that the cybertronians can live mostly off of, 

BLEASE google “dimorphic fungi” because i feel like it will make your day + help your theory to know that there are types of fungi that can totally change forms (cough… transform)

like there are plenty of species that turn from a mold/hyphal form into a yeast form. sometimes they change based on temperature, environment, other physiological stuff… sometimes we just dont know…

fungi are so cool and i support this “transformers as fungi” theory

HELL YES THANK YOU FOR YOUR ADDITION TO THIS PSEUDO SCIENCE THEORY 

I love plants and animals and all sorts of life and fungi isn’t something I know a TON about compared to, say, my general knowledge on bugs, so this is really useful thank you 😀

During the rebellion against the Quintesson empire, the Quintessons developed many scare tactics to use against the masses of Cybertron in order to reaffirm their position as a stronger and superior race. One of those scare tactics was trumpeting tripods.

These tripods would be used like a war cry, a bellowing warning that the Quintessons were coming. It sent civilians into panic and intimidated the soldiers. In some battles the tripods were also used as troop transport.

After the Quintessons were defeated, Cybertronians gathered the tripods that had been left behind and rebuilt them into a global alarm system. Every city state was given at least one tripod at their core, usually where the local government was housed. Only city state leaders and the Senate could turn on the alarms, but city state leaders were limited to their city’s alarms; The Senate could turn on every alarm, but only did so when there was world wide threats.

Cybertronians adapted the tripods to make various pitched bellows. Each bellow had a different meaning, a different warning of what was happening. Some bellows were localized and related to issues that only the city state could understand. Most bellows were global though and could be understood by every Cybertronian.

Anybody remember this head canon?

Well I found another strange siren sound to go with it. If you heard this siren coming out of the tripods, then it meant that the Senate activated them, that there was a global wide threat. It was heard a lot during the beginnings of the war, up until the Senate was destroyed and there was no one left to active the tripods.

This video popped up on my dash today and I was reminded of this head canon.

This is what the early Cybertronians dealt with when they were fighting against the Quintessons.
