I like big bots and I cannot lie.

Ok, but I really like the idea of Metrotitans being basically like a close to extinct species… having their own unique culture and everything, where they just carry their inhabitants with pride and care and are usually very still because yeah – they’re cities and such. They’re like SO heavy and moving most of the time just isn’t worth the effort.

But like, once every millennia or so one goes into season and they suddenly just stand up and go find a mate, and don’t mind who’s aboard – when they go they go. And it being like a very esteemed experience to witness the metrotitan mating rituals and everything, and especially see them carry, birth and care for their young, because it’s just SO RARE.

Can you imagine tiny baby cities. (or rather villages or towns, maybe??)

There needs to be more metrotitan fanfiction.

I want more Cybertronian historical and cultural worldbuilding…

Cybertronian ages of history: nomadic and hunter-gatherer and rural and urban and feudal and democratic societies, empires and independent kingdoms and tributary states and confederations of tribes

politics, GLORIOUS politics, grudges and friendships and blood feuds and alliances, treaties sealed by bonding princes and princesses and princens, the inevitable death of states (I heard somewhere that the average life expectancy for a human empire has been about 500-600 years; I wonder what it would be for those ruled by Cybertronians?)

Cybertron royals and nobility and gentry and mercantile families and landowning commoners and serfs, class systems and how they change according to the values of the time

stories of the old ways and how they affect the new ways and mecha discovering how far back their beliefs go and what fed into those same beliefs and what made them that way

things that helped people live their lives in the past and became so widespread that the original reason for doing them was forgotten and became part of people’s lives and histories

methods of belief: monotheism and polytheism and ancestor worship and environmental worship, fate and faith

places of belief: shrines and temples and altars and churches and holy landforms and oracles and places where the gods are

other trappings of belief: icons and prayers, mandalas, flags and thrones and figureheads

historians getting really excited over new discoveries! powerful institutions getting not so excited, or even more excited depending on how they can use these new discoveries…

Cybertronian folk traditions: dances and parties and milestones in life, arts and crafts and song and speech, matchmaking and meeting friends and keeping in touch with clade

traditional ceremonies: bonding ceremonies, funerary ceremonies, new sparklings being introduced into the family, seasonal ceremonies, religious ceremonies, professional ceremonies

old mechs’ tales, myths and legends, clade elders gathering the younglings for a good ol’ traditional storytelling epic

mechs using ancient methods of prophecy to help them make important life choices

Cybertronian versions of oracle bones and cleromancy

parents and mentors passing on ancient skills and knowledge to their charges 

how do they work? How do they live?

Cybertronian history and culture

There is literally millions of years of potential in this fandom, and few things excite me as much as that does.

… 

Cybertronian society while scientific knowledge had barely exceeded our own.

Cybertronian theories of the processor, and the spark, and the link between the two.

Cybertronian discoveries of the comm systems, theories of fields and what produces them

Just… yes.

*squeaks* that too 😀
