Do Cybertronians sing?
Absolutely! Cybertronians can be every bit as musical as humans- and then some. Cybertronians are capable of producing a much wider and more varied array of sounds than humans are- including being able to play stored recordings (although this ability varies in quality by individuals). Cybertronian singing can sound like a lot of things, but one thing’s for sure- virtually all Cybertronians are inclined to follow along with music.
Of course, professional musicians tended to fall into a slightly different niche than the average Cybertronian singing- some Cybertronians had particularly complex or hard-to-replicate voices, which made them particularly famous, while others simply had the presence and pitch to make themselves known. Of course, music varies a lot by culture. Starscream and his trine often sing in high, whistling sounds like birdsong, tea kettles, and slide whistles, while Optimus and Ironhide sing subsonic traditional songs that vibrate the plating, they’re so low in pitch.
Cybertronian language is even variable and offers enough freedom of expression that some Cybertronians sing everything, or speak in particular cadence.
Cybertronians generally can recognize music in whatever form, and the Cybertronians who make their way to Earth quickly grow fond of human music in all it’s variety even if they don’t care much for the planet. After all, a few thousand years of warfare with very little media or simple pleasures- new songs to listen to are precious indeed.
Especially for those who already have a particular interest in music.
