Have sparkeater lore bc I like sparkeaters and think there should be more to them than just “Evil Fairytale Monster” :]
Sparkeaters are most commonly found in the (majorly unexplored) mountainous jungles of Cybertron’s equator
Sparkeaters are almost indistinguishable from your average cybertronian aside from a few differences which are: Usually taller with thicker/stronger armor, data cables/tentacles that can be retracted into ports along their back and sides, claws and teeth meant to punch through thin joint armor, the ability to unhinge their jaw (which usually results in there being transformation seams on the face), an elusive EM field, and naturally cold armor
Sparkeaters are thought to be myths due to their elusive and skittish nature. They’re just as afraid of you as you are of them, if not more so
The original sparkeater myth originated from dumb explorers encountering one that attacked when they got cornered by said explorers
Sparkeaters typically live in packs, which usually consist of a conjunxed pair and their sparklings along with the occasional unrelated loner, like wolves
Family is very important to sparkeaters, as most sparkeaters will spend their life primarily around those they consider family
They natively speak Primal Vernacular
Sparkeaters need to consume energon that contains the energy of a spark in order to properly refuel, hence their predator nature
Sparkeaters don’t hunt other cybertronians unless they are starving. You won’t find sparkeaters in the wild hunting cybertronians if they have a choice between other cybertronians and mechimals
