recharging : what the hell is even happening???

notwhelmedyet:

so i have reviewed my understanding of recharging in transformers mtmte and concluded I have no clue what the heck is happening

things I’m pretty sure are true

it’s like sleeping, you have to do it, you can have dreams whilst recharging

but does it have something to do with electricity?

supporting details:

nautica electrocutes the personality ticks by punching a ‘recharge socket’

not supporting:

every other instance that I can recall?

is it how they refuel, hence they’re hooked into energon lines?

supporting details:

When Tailgate attacks Megatron in his sleep we can see the fuel lines he and Ravage are hooked up to

Cyclonus says he doesn’t need a drink/fuel because he’s just recharged

panel of Cyclonus saying just that

Optimus refers to recharging as ‘topping up’

Panel where Optimus urges the team to 'top up' before the battle
