hey rung i got something to ask you.. how were cybertronains ever made and not looked like little children when primus made them?? shouldn’t they be like little kids or as babies once they were made?? i was really curious if this is true if all cybertronians started from baby hood like a human does.. what would it be like for the older ones to take care of them since they are very younger than the adult cybertornians also can cybertronians have a family of their own?also i am so always curious..

Uhhh I’m pretty sure in most continuities Cybertronians start out as adults and never have a “child” stage. There are a couple exceptions like in some of the older sideline cartoons as well as Bayverse somehow? But there aren’t any “children” in the Michael Bay movies besides the Decepticons’ weird egg larvae and the baby Dinobots, both of which are never given a full explanation in how they’re conceived.

However, in the Aligned, TFA, and IDW continuities I’m pretty sure most Cybertronians come from hotspots? (Unless we’re specifically in IDW, then half the population is cold-constructed and Springer is a weird science baby, however they also start out as adults. Also I think Soundwave was made by Sari in TFA)

I’m really not the person to ask though because I’m just a lowly scrub who only read IDW and looked up most of my Transformers info on TFWiki.

Um so hi, this is probably a crack conspiracy theory but like I’ve noticed that Rung’s been taking off his glasses more often when he gets heated and I wonder if maybe it’s like a psychological thing?? Like, glasses come off, crap goes down. Idk it’s late baiiiiiiiiiii

I absolutely agree, Anon! I think it’s both a signal to the reader that Rung is feeling some sort of intense emotion as well as a psychological tell to the character himself. It’s a useful detail, especially since it’s Rung’s first instinct to try to keep a neutral yet empathetic disposition because of his career.

(Also since Rung has quit I think we’re going to be seeing him act more emotional than he has in the past with MTMTE. We’ve already seen it with Skids’ death and his conversation with Nightbeat, but it will be interesting to see how he fairs with the rest of his amicas.)
