A little thoughts. Some time ago, I was visited by the idea that some of the cybertronians might have developed a universal language because of a particular work. Just imagine that you have been spending almost your whole life on one or another job, this cannot but affect you. One way or another, the profession leaves its mark.
And that’s what I thought about. What if … the miners have developed their own language, which they practice from one generation to other generation? Just think the mines is a dark, dangerous place, you can also encounter Sparkeater (or any other monsters), even heavy noise or vibration can lead to a collapse or attract the attention of dangerous creatures. What language is best suited if even speak in unstable areas can be dangerous?
Bio light. Language from flashes of light, this is quiet and universal for a dark place. Just imagine, the miners spend most of the time developing the sleeves of the mines and I doubt very much that the lighting would be extended everywhere. Obviously, the furs of this profession has flashlights (if you look at the Terminus, they are part of its helmet), I think that the lines of the bio lights among the cybertronians can also be bright enough to illuminate a small space around themselves.
I think this language could resemble something like Morse code. Short or long flashes, just imagine how fast the miners must react to read each other's messages. It is also quite universal, in the sense that the language for this profession is single and does not have branches, like for example in the language of the Seeker wings (I suppose that the difference between Vos and other cities of flying bots can most likely be, the language is still common, but the accents and dialects can be different. Like the languages of one group on Earth, for example, like among the Slavic peoples). This would suggest that they can probably flash biofires more strongly (well, in theory they are brighter than other Cybertronians), I also think that young miners probably remember it faster than normal speech. It would be funny to see a young miner trying to communicate in this way with a bot whose profession does not intersect with miners. Imagine police bots that depending on the city or state can often cross paths with miners and can speak this flash language fluently. There are so many applications for this and it would be really interesting.
I think by the way, in addition to the flashes, it would be logical to add body language and maybe touch. That miners can be quite tactile, you know, tap a comrade gently on the shoulder with their fingers to get attention (I think they can move quietly so as not to cause a lot of vibrations, so getting attention in this way would be logical) or point at something and only then the bio lights come into play. That's why groups of miners could be closely related. Their communication culture would simply imply close contact for communication.
If someone asks, imagine a young Megatron writing poetry and putting on a real light show for the rest of the miners, it's crazy haha. This language may not be understood by others, so it has advantages both in terms of romantic manifestations and in military affairs. Considering that many Decepticons were from lesser professions, the language of bio ligths would be common among their.
Is romance ever a motivator for cyberforming? I saw some characters listed who are often shipped with bots Noah×Mirage Tracks×Raoul Charlie×Bumblebee ect are any of them cannon to your au and if so dose it change anything about the process or cyberforming or integration?
Hi Anon!
My answer is yes, yes and yes again! Romantic interest can be one of the motivators for cyberformation. However, unfortunately, an Autobot cannot demonstrate this directly, even if a person reciprocates his interest. Other Cybertronians may consider his actions compromised, too personal and that he is not acting in the interests of protecting his precious ally and friend. Personal reasons should not stand above other reasons for this process, so most use the reason for the safety or usefulness of this or that person (Although there are nuances, each case is considered separately. No one is saying that this system has not been bypassed). You see, infatuation with both us humans and Cybertronians can be fleeting, and the process of cyberformation is not reversible, so in essence, the Cybertronian must be 100% that the feeling is reciprocated. I would say that this romantic interest can already emerge from a close friendship and connection between a human and a Cybertronian.
The senior Autobot officers (Prowl or Ultra Magnus in particular) have a strict position, if they suspect that cyberformation has questionable grounds, they will not give their permission. In their opinion, a person should become a part of Cybertronian society and bring something to it, be it intelligence, strength or other qualities. Optimus is more loyal in this regard, it is for this reason that he mainly gives permission (He simply knows that all Cybertronians are interested in their human friend becoming one of them, why should he refuse if the couple wants to be together? It's just that Prime usually asks both parties separately to make sure that the feelings are mutual).
This fact does not affect the process of Cyberform, but it does affect the subsequent stages. A Cybertronian who is romantically interested does not have the right to become a mentor to his ward. Another Cybertronian must become a mentor to the Cyberformed, so that the integration goes more smoothly and no one rushes things. In fact, a person must receive all the knowledge regarding the cultural context, communication, traditions, etc. during the adaptation process (including so that he knows what Amica Endura and Conjunx Endura are and the corresponding rituals). Only with this necessary knowledge for the former person, the couple can reunite later. This is done specifically so that there are no incidents, misunderstandings or culture shock. Well, and so that the Cyberformed is prepared for what to expect and how to properly respond to his lover.
And yes, in my AU there are such canon pairs, they include: – Optimus Prime x Cade Yeager – Chase x Charlie Burns – Mirage x Noah Diaz – Tracks x Raoul You may have your own view on the pairings, but these are the ones that I will probably mention periodically in my posts.

Art order for my friend, I was glad to draw her characters.
One cute anonymous asked to paint a Burns family. I drew though it took me some time.💖
Cody: Blades, look at me! Blades: Oh, my child! You are so well done, you learn very quickly! You look amazing! After becoming a bot, Cody had to learn how to fly, of course Blades decided to help him with this. Since the younger Burns very quickly learned and memorized something new, the rescuer truly was proud of Cody's achievements. And yet every single rescue bots, just began to call the younger Burns "Child" and absolutely everyone wants to help him become a great lifeguard. (Everyone loves Cody and pure truth!)
This joke was so bad it was good. I don't even know how to react to it, but I'm sharing it with you because I think it should be immortalized.
Me: You know what I really don't understand. Bluestreak, BLUEstreak, you know? Like… HE DON'T HAVE A SINGLE BLUE PART WHAT THE HELL. Friend: Lmao Me: But he does have red metal thighs, which are still some kind of crap. Friend: Red because someone got spanked a lot. Me and friend: silent scene and then loud laughter
Sorry, I can't, every time I remember this I start giggling furiously, as if I was shown a meme every time

My headcanon of Heath’s and Holt’s/ Jackson’s families
Heath’s father - Flame Burns, and mother - Smoky Burns (Hyde)
I have a little comic with Bogart. (It’s just that now I sometimes draw answers to questions for this character, and since there is little information about him, I have a lot of headcanons)
Welcome to my blog "a thousand and one weird ideas". I draw a little here, write my AUs with lore details and joke around.
