(Ah shi, the og post about turning CITF!y/n into Cybertronian was SG related... oh well)

Imagine your sentient mechanic creations that have abandonment issues hates the potential of you dying, even of old age, so much. They took away your mortality❤️

Now you're technically a cybertronian, you're not gonna die as quickly as your human self would. And you don't have to pay rent anymore. But you lost your original body, you're going to look into the mirror, and you're not going to see flesh anymore. It's quite (really) jarring and you're probably never really going to get used to or accept this body :)

The way I design CITF Cybertronian!y/n. They don't have a T-cog, there's no cog hole to put in a cog for them.

On the surface — mostly grey color palette as usual. They still have that scientist look to them. But they don't exactly look like someone of high status, much less would anyone suspect this bot to be the Sire of the 13 primes. Just imagine the looks other bots' faces when they find out.

Internally, they're techno-organic. They dont have a traditional spark, they have a beating heart. If you open up their chassis, you're not going to see metal, you're going to see meat, pulsing meat. They don't have a traditional processor either, they have a brain. Their nerves are much more sharp and sensitive than the average cybertronian. Their tongue and mouth cavity are STILL organic.

Your plating feels a lot more elastic and soft, which is pretty uncanny and unnerving as a firt impression for any other cybertronian that's not the Primes or Rung/Primus (they eill learn to appreciate it eventually. You are very comforting to hold). Despite that, you're extremely durable and have the ability to automatically regenerate. So your kids could show affection without killing you with their inhuman strength.

They're a nightmare for cybertronian medics.

The Matrix is like the house dog ig

Y/n is not so very tall when compared to the 13 Primes. They're about as big as a cogless bot. Which just means your kids could pick you up and carry you with them.

They're going to

More artwork for @bearhaironthechair based on their Techno-Organic Bee design and headcanons.

Additional notes (personal headcanons):

The fuzz/feathers/fur found on Techno-Organics comes from modifications to the CNA by the Organic DNA; the base CNA sequence being modified is the same that determines the soft portions of Cybertronian vehicle interior; in layman's terms, the fuzz is a modified version of car seat fabric or leather.

Limb functionality/additions are determined by the species fused with and the size of the Cybertronian:

Smaller Cybertronians (like Bumblebee) would gain additional limbs that match the functionality of their robot mode.

Larger Cybertronians (like Blitzwing) would gain additional smaller limbs for their new alt-mode that do not match the dexterity or size of their limbs in robot mode.

Wasp(inator) and Black Arachnia being the exceptions, due to both of these incidents being early on in experimentation/accidental.

Where all their mech frames are techno-organic lifeforms originating from an alien psychic hivemind, that’s near extinction and on the run from a much larger, terrifying, and unimaginable paracausal alien threat.

With the lifeforms either grown from code and genetic samples by human technology, or from hivewombs directly.

Anyways that’s the idea I randomly had while in the shower.

It’s not very original… but I think it would be fun.

To synch with mechs made of flesh. Where instead of NHPs, some come with sapient brain systems.
