Is this what Cybertronian crystals looked like?

Some of them, yes. In fact, there were entire terraced gardens in crystal city that looked like this on an enormous scale. Each of those squares resonated in it own sound when you walked on them, and even as they warmed in the morning sun and cooled at night. It was Sparkbreakingly beautiful.
