I know this is proabaly a silly question but my curiosity overpowered me this time

(Molting is when a Birb grows in new feathers and ushaly get verry bity and hissy around it)

If a Seeker had a molting season I would truly start to question their ethnicity as a Cybertronian.

But.. I suppose there are a few Predacons that have a type of molt. But I don’t know much about them. I try to focus on patients that don’t want to eat me.

But seeing as you mean hypothetically: I guess it would have to be a matter of their protometal/protoform growing too large for their armor and thus shedding it to allow more to grow. But we cannot grow armor aside from when we are first Forged. So that would leave them extremely vulnerable until they located armor that someone wasn’t using - highly unlikely as bots don’t tend to just leave armor lying around - that miraculously was exactly their size. And then there are rare cases of protometal becoming sensitive to different armor types. And it would have to match their frame type and-..

Have you ever heard of or interacted with a metal cardbot?

They even filmed this torture for YouTube

You're the best medic I know, can you save them?

Oh for the love of-

Quick question. Sure, I know about energon vampires, I’ve dealt with them nasty space worms. But is it possible for a Cybertronian to be a vampire? Like let’s say for instance that said Cybertronian had very mixed coding because their parents were on different sides of the war with different coding so said Cybertronian’s systems are messed up and their Spark needs a refined, pre-processed fuel like blood. I’m totally not being specific about this question because I am one who asks for permission first of course.…heh. Uhh I have to go, my uncle Sounds is staring at me and not saying anything. Bye!

…Mhm. Why do I have a feeling you know the answer to that question already?

Mnh… Optimus is much better with these things.. But ignoring the VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION OF HOW YOU POSSIBLY ACCESSED OUR COMS… I guess I will do my best.

Many bots, both Autobot and Decepticon, look down on factionless bots. And while I do have some more harsh opinions as well.. I do not blame those who do not want their lives consumed by war. But escaping from a bad situation and keeping to your morals despite putting yourself in danger again shows true strength and courage. And despite not knowing the facts I do believe that you made the right call.

To be a true Autobot is to believe that no one is ‘weak’. All are strong in their own ways and all deserve the right to live and choose. The Decepticons rule by tyranny and think the strong are worth more than the weak. This is just an excuse to be cruel to those who cannot defend themselves.

I must admit, the resemblance is uncanny. But I remain unnerved by the fact you know what I look like so accurately.

My and Rafael’s relationship is friendly. He is much less trouble to stand than Miko that’s for sure. And yes I have been teaching him a few Cybertronian glyphs. He is a very smart boy.

Let’s switch it up.

This is Miss Pyro. She’s a GFP (green fluorescent protein) melanoid axolotl and she turns 9 this year.

do bots have anything like that?

Yes there are some conditions similar. Though our energon flow doesn’t affect us quite as quickly due to our bodies’ ability to store energy and data. A bit can be near empty and still function, albeit not effectively.

To be honest I’m not sure I have one particular thing that comes to mind.

If you mean on Earth only: There was that time that Bulkhead crashed into a data center storage while in battle. Head first. The data shock infected his processor. He spoke in memes for a week. That was definitely a strange one.
