Adhesive I just had the cutest idea
Okay so this started cause I was seeing posts on alot of decepticon behavior and their comparisons to packs and lion prides and im just

Why isn’t there alot of posts on Autobot behaviors?
So I was like if Deceptiocns are more like predators that act like cats/big cats/Dogs/wolves  wouldn’t authors technically act more like large preys/predators? Instead of packs they have herds or pods?
 Like Whales, and elephants?
 
I just had this thought of Autobots in the washracks and all the youngest are acting like little kids and spitting cleanser or throwing suds in water. Bath time is social time for all members who had finished their shift. The autobots have a huge communal bath and showers and often help each other clean and tidy up.

Autobots get this reputation of being prude, strict, and distant emotionally from each other but that’s cause decepticons and quite a bit of neutrals actually don’t realize they tend organize socializing so they can they maximum amount of time to be with each other. They also know when to break off into smaller groups for higher survival.

They tend to make cohort groups or bond groups(think like the Rod Squad in this case) that often will go thick or thin with eachother and have developed to knowing other wuoelrks inside jokes ect. The autobots are mostly made up of these bond group and when they come together is almost like a family clan. Bonds group tend to like to integrate new comers and when new comers join this helps build bridges and bonds with other bond groups. (Nautica for example and Velocity ended joining Rodimus bond group and end up binding two smaller bond groups the scientists and medics to Rodimus command group).

But their is also Autobots who don’t have a particular bond group so they hover around others(Trailbreaker and Pipes). Their more like Bull males and tend to be more solitary or join other bull males(Getaway, Atomizer, Blaster). Or the wreckers who members tend to change often.

All Autobot leaders are like closer to a matriarchy Elephants. When the leader is dead or too tired to continue the eldest daughter will lead(Bumblebee leading Cybertron after Optimus left). Autobots leader have this innate need to care and look after others and will often make big groups that can have smaller bonds groups made.(Rodimus and the lost light plus its many cliques)

It’s very typical for much older and wiser mechs to guide younger inexperienced ones. As older ones tend to be effective descions makers.(Ratchet, Magnus, Rung) and also keep younger ones in lime because their cut through the bullshit attitudes tend to tamper their more aggressiveand hothead behaviors. (Tho this doesn’t always work)

Autobots have a very hard time welcoming Decepticons because of this Big Prey vs Predator relationship. Deceptions won’t typically go after the older mature  Autobots  (the big developed prey) and instead the go for younger weaker bots (the less developed inexperienced prey) cause like big cats it’s much easier.

Newsparks and new Autobots tend to be the center of attention for a while often sticking close to the Autobots who brought them in. This usually lasts until everyone finds a new rhythm with the new addition.

Touch is a big thing, but it more subtle then cuddle piles and hugs. They tend to be more private about affection like hugs and cuddling but more open about hand holding, shoulder bumping and shoulder touching.

And that’s all i got right now.

Oh my god my brain is too fried to add anything right now but ELEPHANT HERD AUTUOBS UNITS YAAAASSSSSSS

@adhesivesandscrap

Omg this is my my most popular

GUESS WHAT PEEPS I HAVE MORE!
(anybody can add in i love hearing about Autobot headcannons)

Autobots have a tendency to scrap their paint on to those of their bond groups when they think that a particular person is feeling neglected. It’s to show that this person is claimed and you should not try to claim them into your group unless there dating you. It’s not uncommon to see a bit walking around with a menagerie of paint scrapes

Trust is a huge thing with Autobots it’s also not easily earned either. Unlike decepticons who are more free with affections with strangers Autobots need time to make a group they can rely on to cuddle and be affectionate with. They won’t just randomly go up to someone they don’t know and try to cuddle it too weord and awkward and just plain uncomfortable as their is not establishment of trust. Another way to tell if one is a decepticon as they are more physically affectionate than the average Autobot.

Okay more Autobot bath time ideas, like I said before Autobots love to bathe and especially with others. Even the more stern members are relaxed and happy at bath time. It’s their main way to bond with other groups, take care of them selves, and be a little silly. It’s like a trust thing it’s very taboo to cause trouble in the baths. It’s actually how Autobots can detect spies because while decepticons are touchy feely this is a whole another level as you are trusting a whole group of people when your the most vulnerable. Negativity of any kind of not allowed at bath time woe to the fool who tries to start something.

Autobots acts like absolute dorks at bath times. Spitting cleanser, water fights, thrown sponges and towels, ect. A favorite moment is when flicked his wings back and nailed the water in ratchets face who was about to dump a bucket of water on him so Ratchet was drenched twice.

Optimus also like to help groom Rodimus/Hot Rod and Bumblebee. It’s a nice way for them to cool off if anyone them are angry with one another and show they still trust another.
Autobots and cybertronians in general need help cleaning.

Large bots especially, bots like Skyfire who have large unreachle wings will often have to lie down have someone clean them for them. Large mechs tend to be the most pampered on a group as usually their pulling the most physical weight. But there is also schedules made of when which group member gets to be the most pampered and dotted on to keep balance.

Autobots like to wax and dry eachother to physical tidiness shows that you are cared for and adored. Groups will ensure that as it reflects on the group as whole and functioning unit. This tends to be a problem for starting groups tho as they are trying to figure out how to function with eachother and thus are more likely to neglect a member (Rod Squad and Swerve)

Autobots are also notorious for being absolutely aggressive and down right homicidal when one of their own is attacked. Instead of of large hoards tho they tend to go in small ballistic groups of their strongest deadliest warriors for retribution. And they do not okay fair at all.

Autobots on the battle field associated sound=life. If you are making noises of any kind they not only know where you are and are still alive but also know where you enemy is. Autobot communication is crazy scary as one comm can light up a battle field and can spot the enemy that did the damage especially in ambushes. If your still making noise your savable.

There’s mOAR?! OuO
