cybertronain body laungue + optic stuff
This is vary messy, mostly for personal use. I had all these rules written down, but I thought a visual guide would be better.
extra notes
how a bot usually holds their plating can tell you a lot about them,
it can also tell you a bit about their relationship with others depending on how they hold it around them
Some bots are more expressive with their plating than others.
Cybertronian language lore
Made for my own projects and aus but free for anyone to use
In the Cybertronian language, instead of having combinations of sounds to create meaning, every sound has a distinct meaning, with even the slightest change in pitch altering the word. It's a language humans could never understand because it requires hearing sounds and slight differences in sound that human ears can't recognize. That's why cybertronian names are usually words or combinations of words, because sound-based names, with no set meaning, would not work in their language. Cybertronian Language is significantly faster and more efficient than any human language and is slightly less prone to Miscommunication. But to a human, the Cybertronian language sounds like a nonsensical mix of random noises, chirps, beeps, and clicks — a strange alien bird's song, often sung at pitches painful to human ears.
The cybertronian language functions with several different types of tones, Mainly context tones and concept tones. Concept tones express, well, concepts and ideas, the closest thing the Cybertronian language has to words. Context tones give concept tones their context, including tense, referring to self or others, age, length, the number of something. It's a tone played on top of the concept tones. For example, a context tone would be used to distinguish Ratchet the cybertronian from a ratchet the object. Several context tones are usually layered on top of every concept tone, giving them a clearer meaning. The Cybertronian language is monotone so the ways tones are sung will not change based on emotion, its always a consistent pitch and sound.
Instead of using emotions in voice to indicate how the other speaker is feeling, it is done through reading each other em fields. all emotional context coming from body language and energy signals. But this also causes problems for long-distance communication most dedicated communication devices have field transmitters to mimic the other parties' field pulses. While things like coms, and non-cybertronian based communication methods often don't have this, so many bots on earth have started switching to human languages and human tonal emotional indication over coms when they need to convey a strong emotion without em fields.
Cybertronian vocalizers are highly adaptable, made to produce a wide variety of sounds, allowing them to speak human languages without requiring any form of modification. Thought that's also why cybertronians always have that metallic tinge to their voice. Though their vocalizers can speak human languages without much effort, they were not designed for it similar to a parrot being able to say human words
Although it is impossible for humans to learn Cybertronian spoken language, it is possible for someone to learn to read the Cybertronian written language. The cybertronain langue is a logographic written on a stave similar to music notes. The primary concept glyph at the bottom or left side, if read horizontally with context tone placed on layers of relevance, the most relevant context tone is written closer to the concept tones. But if two tones are of equal importance, then usually the more novel tone goes closer to the concept tone and will be lower/farther left on the stave, while more common ones are usually higher/farther to the right through the order of the context tones can be written out of order and still understood this is considered improper.
Phew- I’m done. There may be a third but I think this…. Yeah. This works. Once again the beginning is iffy with this one. But this also is just… mehhhhhhhh.
Prima does a lot of talking which makes sense but it feels very untethered to Cometeater so… maybe it still works? Prima just wanted to vent about how he missed out on all the god drama because he was forced to hang out with his weird uncle for too long.
Literally Comet is like: can I talk to your dad I want to see my friend… please
And Prima hits him with: do you blame yourself? Cause I blame my dad. Let’s all blame my dumb father whom I resent.
Anyway, Cometeater belongs to @thebrokenmechanicalpencil! I know this isn’t… exactly what we had talked about for his reason for staying but it just fit very well because I had the idea with the Amica and well… I needed something that Prima could not undo because he’s petty.
TFP: Cybertron and the Functionist Indoctrination of Youth - Smokescreen and Ratchet
re-watching more TFP between working clinical support hours to spare my brain
and this scene really sticks out to me, from the episode “Darkest Hour”:
context for the scene:
The others have returned to the base, and have just informed Ratchet that the Omega Lock had to be destroyed in order to save Earth.
Ratchet reacts with shock, and he is physically staggered by the thought that Cybertron may no longer be able to be restored:
Ratchet: You destroyed the only device in any universe capable of restoring our home?
This is a completely understandable reaction, and it is absolutely heartwrenching to hear Ratchet’s voice weaken and waver as he nearly backs up into his console. He is devastated.
However, Smokescreen instantly and somewhat defensively immediately responds, likely misunderstanding Ratchet’s grief as a direct criticism of their actions:
Smokescreen: You weren’t there, Doc. And it’s not your place to second-guess a battlefield decision.
Ratchet: It most certainly is!
Understandably, this sets Ratchet off, and he continues on a bit, getting increasingly agitated.
Although I think Ratchet is still being fairly restrained here and his reaction is again understandable, the others jump on him a bit disproportionately.
This is most likely in an expression of their own stress and displeasure over the situation, but misplacing their own dissatisfaction on Ratchet rather than venting it off in a slightly more appropriate way. Tensions are high between all of them here, for a moment.
(I could do a more prolonged analysis of this entire scene, as I do think it’s worth analysing the full dialogue and not just the snippet above, but for the purposes of examining Smokescreen’s initial response, I’ll be keeping this to the above dialogue excerpt for now and will re-visit the scene in entirety at some point in the future.)
For now, Smokescreen’s response is fascinating, especially within the wider context of what we know about him in relation to the others:
Smokescreen Retains a Very Class/Caste System Influenced Understanding of Society -- And It’s Not His Fault
Smokescreen was part of Alpha Trion’s guard, a select group with a likely very elevated social position owing to the exclusivity of his cohort/given role and the status of Alpha Trion himself in the eyes of others in Cybertronian society/politics/etc.
Within Cybertron’s class and caste system, his position likely ranked him as a higher relative “rank” than Ratchet, even if only be default.
We also know that the upper echelons of Cybertronian society, particularly those in the “higher class” lager city states such as Iacon, where Smokescreen was stationed and likely had lived most of his life within that sphere of society, had relatively little outside worldview or perspective on matters beyond what they were trained and taught specifically as higher class bots.
This type of general ignorance was part of the problem that Orion Pax identified in himself as well, as an Iaconian reasonably well-ranked individual; In the novel Exodus, he purposefully goes to visit a gladiatorial arena in person despite the risks involved in doing so, because he has identified that he has no real understanding or exposure to other classes or castes owing to an orchestrated lack of information or lived experience by design, as a result of the rigidly enforced class system and the political motivations of keeping the comparatively well-off bots ignorant of the struggles of the lower classes and the real damages of the class/caste system that affect everyone-- With those most at risk being the most severely detrimentally impacted.
Smokescreen’s goals are to be good-- Good being defined by those in power with the ability to promote him.
He wants to do well enough that he gets a higher guard position. At least for most of his life, he was primarily motivated by a desire for skill, rank, and status. He took pride in being part of Alpha Trion’s select inner guard, and his attitude has been adopted out of a good faith interpretation of all he had ever been taught: If you get good, you’ll get a good position.
That is of course blatantly untrue within Cybertron’s Council-run society, but Smokescreen likely just had no way to know or understand this.
His life, by all indications, was likely nearly entirely spent within a very relatively closed microcosm of society, primarily within one particular city-state, educated within a narrow framework designed by the oppressors (Council) as a way to ensure their most loyal guards were quite literally unable to conceive of anything beyond status and loyalty-- Because this is what governments like Cybertron’s Council will always do.
And while Alpha Trion clearly picked out Smokescreen as being particular, for reasons we don’t know as we never hear what Alpha Trion’s reasoning may have been for selecting Smokescreen over anyone else (although I believe it is generally suggested this may have been owing to time pressures and the situation at the time the decision had to be made),
it is very evident in the way Smokescreen addresses Ratchet in the scene above that Smokescreen was unfortunately raised within a system designed to indoctrinate him with the Council’s worldview and politics, because of course, the Council wants those well-trained loyal guards.
Perhaps Alpha Trion chose Smokescreen, because it is possible that Smokescreen was least indoctrinated and less likely to rigidly default to beliefs informed by the Council’s teachings rather than learning from lived experiences, thus coming to see the truth and therefore become able to make more genuinely just decisions and defend that which truly deserves his guard-- Instead of defending the Council’s harmful interests.
Others in Smokescreen’s cohort may have fallen back and been overwhelmed by the shattering of their world view as the war progressed. We know that the guard was either disbanded or lost nearly entirely, but while it can be interpreted as meaning that the other guards were all killed, it may also be the case that some defected, choosing to defend the Council, or perhaps even became neutrals or Decepticons. We don’t have 100% verification, and with those who have suffered extreme indoctrination like most of the guard likely did, people will naturally react to having their understanding of society completely broken in front of them in all kinds of ways.
It is possible that Smokescreen was just flexible and curious enough to work for Alpha Trion’s purposes, and may have been less inclined to follow the rules to the letter, making him a better choice. He may have held more personal loyalty to Alpha Trion, rather than loyalty to the Council itself.
This fits with what we see of his character and behaviour in TFP, although this is not explicitly stated canonically and is just a theory based on the available Aligned Continuity lore + what we see on screen in TFP.
BUT.
The Council and Youth Indoctrination: Orion Pax and Smokescreen
Smokescreen, by the nature of the society he was raised in, the nature of his role within that societal framework, and his lack of exposure or understanding beyond that-- All of this clearly and inevitably resulted in some aspects of that Council-enforced class/caste rhetoric making its way into his processor.
And that type of internalised faulty understanding is unavoidable, no matter how good or intelligent a person anyone is, when raised in such a way.
This is why real world deprogramming of indoctrinated persons is so incredibly difficult; It’s not an idea that wormed its way in, but rather, it is literally the framework upon which a person’s entire concept of thought has been built.
The only reason Orion Pax was able to identify the flaws in his own thinking, which was informed by his very similar upbringing as a fairly well-off bot in a generally mid to high class city-state, is because he had access to historical records that helped him come to understand two very important things, and ask the relevant necessary basic questions:
1) Cybertron was not always like this. In fact, it used to be better, in many ways. Why was that? Why and how did things change? What can we do to improve things for the future?
2) Cybertron is not the way the Council portrays it to be. How bad is it, in true? How many are suffering, who are those people, and what are the factors involved that restrict or harm them? How severely have we derailed from our principles, and how do we restore our society to a healthy, equitable state? How do we identify, address, and resolve these inequalities?
It helps that Alpha Trion likely encouraged if not actively helped to ensure that Orion Pax (and possibly Smokescreen as well) would come to some understanding of these things, to help them restore Cybertronian society to the more equitable culture it had been conceptualised to be, long ago when the Primes first stood around the well and held high hopes for the people, whose creation they had witnessed.
But Smokescreen was in a much more visible position, and was likely subject to screening by the Council as part of a formal guard service.
So the depth of Alpha Trion’s involvement was likely not able to be very extensive, and was likely only really engaged later on when the war was kicking off and it became immediately evident that this was no longer a fall-back plan, but the main and only remaining possible plan: Get Smokescreen to Earth.
Smokescreen’s Reaction to Ratchet Is A Little Off-Base, But Inevitable
Given all of the above, Smokescreen’s rather defensive response to Ratchet makes sense, even though it wasn’t entirely appropriate.
Smokescreen is not as familiar with the team or with Ratchet personally, compared to the others.
He has only seen Ratchet in the field a few times, and may actually be unaware of Ratchet’s history and role in the war and within the Autobot Command structure.
To Smokescreen, Ratchet is “just” a field medic. Smokescreen may not fully realise how the Autobots are operated as a unit differently from how the Council likely operated similar units for at least some time, and of course the majority of his training was informed by the class/caste tier system which was applied to all aspects of life on Cybertron.
We even see Optimus reference this type of caste-based classification in the episode “Stronger, Faster”, when he calls out Ratchet for over-retaliating against a Vehicon- Not because Ratchet’s actions were inherently wrong (although in this particular instance they were), but specifically because the Vehicon is not a Warrior Class bot.
So it is clear that the influence of Cybertron’s class/caste system persists, and this manifests all over the place here and there. Bulkhead often speaks poorly of himself, in ways that are often suggestive of internalised classism-- And the other bots don’t refute him. Arcee even exacerbates or reinforces this, on at least two occasions.
While we as the audience are more familiar with Ratchet, and we are more aware of how the Autobots differ ideologically and structurally from any pre-war Council military or similar organisation, Smokescreen was not trained by Autobots. He was trained to become part of the Council’s elite guard someday, and that implies heavy Council indoctrination.
And that indoctrination would have influenced him at a core level, even with the graces allowed to him by Alpha Trion, owing to his circumstances and the little exposure outside of that sphere of influence that he was ever likely allowed to have.
Finally, The Analysis of the Actual Scene
As a result, he reads Ratchet’s distress here as insubordination.
Instead of understanding that Ratchet is essentially a second in command to Optimus as far as the currently available team of Autobots is concerned, and without the context of knowing how deeply and for how long Ratchet has been affected by the destruction of Cybertron,
Smokescreen only sees a field medic who is speaking wildly out of turn and criticising an action that was dictated directly by their Prime.
He is unaware of Ratchet’s history as an active participant in field battles, having only seen Ratchet in the field perhaps a couple times by this point in time. He has no context for Ratchet’s perspective here, and when you don’t have any further context, you tend to rely on the context you do have.
And in Smokescreen’s case, he’s naturally going to be inclined to apply his understanding of things, from the point of view of someone who is trying to be the best Council-trained soldier they can be.
Unfortunately, that isn’t quite appropriate to how the Autobots do things, and doesn’t account for problems with the way he was trained or problems with his world view which he himself is unable to identify-- Because that is what indoctrination does to people.
You don’t know what you don’t know, and a lot of Smokescreen’s more insensitive comments are largely attributable to this type of manufactured and enforced ignorance, which he seems to consistently not identify in himself because of course, how could he? He just woke up, he just got here, and his entire life was informed by a very strict political and societal structure which gave him a reward system that worked for him.
He wanted to be good, get better, get the position of his dreams, prove himself capable and expert. Unfortunately, the Council decided what “good” was, and so Smokescreen likely didn’t challenge their authority over him or in general, because why would it occur to him to ever do so, even with some degree of counter-influence from Alpha Trion at least for some period of time later on in his life?
So he defaults here to what he knows:
Ratchet is a field medic. It is heavily implied that caste systems (within the class structures) of Cybertronian society were extremely narrow and restrictive. Nobody had any remit whatsoever outside of their given expertise or function.
As a field medic, sure, Smokescreen understands that Ratchet is sometimes in the field, probably. He’s seen that a couple times, and that’s within Ratchet’s traditional remit as a Cybertronian field medic.
But from Smokescreen’s understanding, nobody can challenge a Prime.
The Prime is essentially the God-King of their people. Ratchet wasn’t present in this particular instance, which he specifically states. He doesn’t say “you don’t know anything about battle decisions”, he says “you weren’t there”. A quick shut-down of Ratchet’s perceived complaints.
But Smokescreen interprets Ratchet’s shock and dismay as a direct questioning of Optimus’ battlefield strategy.
And from his point of view, for Ratchet to challenge the Prime, much less directly, is unacceptably beyond any possible reach a field medic could ever possibly have.
So even though we do see in peripheral lore materials that generally Cybertronians do respect age and elders, with Alpha Trion specifically being noted to be perceived as bordering on esoterically unhinged yet allowed to participate in Council meetings because of his unparalleled age and seniority,
it seems as though Smokescreen’s outrage at the idea of a lower ranked bot challenging a decision made directly by the Prime himself over-rules any respect he may have for Ratchet owing purely to Ratchet’s age or more extensive experience in general, prompting his statement.
“It’s not your place to second-guess a battlefield decision.”
The implication being, “You’re a field medic, what the hell are you doing behaving this way about a choice that was made by our Prime? Who are you to challenge him, or our actions, which we carried out under Primal orders?”
He misreads Ratchet here pretty severely, mostly owing to a lack of familiarity with Ratchet and Autobot culture and command structure, but also because he was likely chastised in very similar ways when undergoing his own initial training.
As he is essentially undergoing initial training again, just under the Autobots and not the Council, it’s very possible he’s falling back into remembering how he managed such training the first time around, in an effort to integrate himself into his new unit-- Not fully grasping how different this new unit really is, and how things have changed.
I Know I Write Forever, Thank You For Reading, Holy Shit
I’ve never done an analysis featuring Smokescreen before, so I really wanted to do one eventually, and this seemed like a good scene to use to cover a lot of what interests me about Smokescreen’s mindset.
I hope this was interesting to someone out there, and if there’s any scene or aspect of lore that you’d like me to analyse in particular, let me know!
I always have a few lore/analysis posts in the works, but I’m happy to do specific requests if anyone would like a deep dive or likes my analyses and would like to hear me go over anything specifically. :)
If you’ve read this far, thank you very much! <3 <3 <3
Is there anything like The Backrooms on Cybertron?
Do you know something? I don’t think we do.
Cybertronian lore isn’t lacking for liminal spaces, cosmic horror, and places where you stumble in and never leave. If you believe the stories, bathhouses and newspark complexes are rife with spots that are just...wrong. We also have urban legends about bots getting sucked into virtual simulators and spending the rest their lives/time wandering an aimless limbo.
But of course, none of those quite capture what makes The Backrooms frightening. And I think that’s why I’ve always liked them. They’re one of those concepts that’s just uniquely Earth.
robots in disguise :)
Cybertronians are masters of disguise, easily able to integrate themselves into most alien societies. Especially ones that consist of other cyber life or heavly plated alien, things cybertronians can easily mimic. When unable to mimic the native life, bots will often take advantage of halo Forms technology, creating a near-perfect solid light replica of the native life. Cybertronians also have the built-in ability to pick up and decode languages just from hearing them. with Their vocalizer being extremely flexible and able to mimic the sound of other species, and if they desire, some can mimic the voices of specific individuals.
Scouts and infiltrators are usually able to figure out how to mimic the native life's behavior and better integrate themselves. Their disguises are often imperfect, but they're usually good enough not to cause any alarm, allowing these cybertronians to integrate themselves into alien societies undetected so they can insert themselves into roles that would give them the most power and influence. This allows Cybertronians to easily take other alien planets/societies out from the inside either to destabilize them so they become non-threat or to convert Their planet into a cybertronian colonies. But if an infiltration is unsuccessful, Cybertron has enough military might they can usually enforce their will on a planet by force, if need be.
During the war, due to Cybertron's unstable state, many Cybertronian colonies were able to break free from Cybertron's control, and many civilizations whose development was purposefully stifled were able to finally Advance without Cybertrons Influence.
Course, an infiltration campaign is not the reason why our little groups of stranded Autobots and Decepticons are stuck on Earth. So, the stranded bots don't have the same tools that an infiltrators might have. On earth, they can not mimic the native life very well, They are too small and often lack any plating, but they can mimic their vehicles and other mechanical devices, but that can only help so much. Neither side Possesses a haloform generator, leaving them reliant on native beings to perform certain tasks for them and help keep their existence hidden. Barely any Bots on either side had been on an alien planet before, and the ones that have only ever really been on Cybertronian colony worlds. But, one of the stranded Autobots is an ex-infiltrator and is more than familiar with dealing with unkown alien worlds. :)
not sure if i asked before, but have you ever thought about making a post about Cybertronian food? like eating metal to assist in self repair, Energon being used for energy to matter conversion (like Heatwaves water) to skip the need for solid food (at least until there is an energon shortage), other power sources besides energon, that thing the Insecticons did to generate energon in the comics, e.t.c?
Absolutely, yes! :D <3
I just recently did a post here on some Cybertronian cuisine which mentions some alternative non-energon types of fuel/energy sources, but I definitely want to cover more about how "food" is used in the sense of how it actually benefits them to consume certain things over others, how it aids their functioning and in what ways, how different fuels or sources of energy work, etc.
Unfortunately, canon information on this aspect of Cybertronian dietary materials and needs is relatively sparse, and tends to vary significantly on the occasions it is actually brought up in-universe from series to series.
So it's taking some additional research time for me to gather enough information to talk about this part of Cybertronian foods and fuels at greater length, but I have it in mind, and I would love to get an analysis post made sometime soon about these various aspects of fuel and power sources! :)
@emperor-kumquat Oops, don’t forget the Age of Origins!
Very good point, thanks for mentioning this!
Two reasons why I didn’t include it in my timeline:
1) Much of the Age of Origins information is isolated to the Covenant, and does not have any mention in any other canonical/supplementary materials in TFP. There is some implied lore we can pick up on from what little backstory of Cybertron is actually mentioned in the TFP show, but a lot of the Age of Origins is Covenant-only detail.
Which doesn’t invalidate it or anything, it just means that the way the TFP/Aligned Continuity timeline was set up, the Age of Origins seems to be more like supplementary material to flesh out the other established eras here and there.
2) The Age of Origins covers bits from various eras and fills some space in between to sort of bridge eras together a little better, so the timescale for these “origins” isn’t necessarily all happening within a single timespan--- Maybe from Alpha Trion’s point of view, but not necessarily the point of view of Cybertronian average citizens, who are seemingly the ones who defined the other Eras as we know them in the rest of the TFP content.
A lot of the Age of Origins content somewhat overlaps other Cybertronian eras, and can be placed at various stages of separate time periods.
Alpha Trion and Covenant Continuity
The Age of Origins falls into the “Alpha Trion lets us know not to trust his memories/recounting of things 100%” area of uncertainty, as most of the Age of Origins material is specific to the Covenant of Primus.
TFWiki doesn’t list it as a distinct time period on the same master page as the other eras (although it is included in the Covenant related stuff-- if I have the time later to add links, I will), the other supplementary TFP material doesn’t mention it (or doesn’t mention events in the same way--- this is just a general continuity and consistency problem with all of this stuff), and the Age of Origins is primarily a cluster of events which is specific to Alpha Trion’s record of history.
With the Covenant material it’s tricky to determine what is 100% factual occurrence that did indeed happen at or around the suggested timeframe, or what may be skewed by various factors, including Alpha Trion’s own perceptions of things as influenced by his unique relationship with time and his ability to “edit” history.
He tells us up front that he may not be a 100% reliable narrator, and the Covenant covers a LOT of material that is very condensed, so canonically we know we’re likely missing some details or things may be coloured by Alpha Trion’s own memories or even some degree of history editing with the Quill.
Covenant Consistencies
At the same time, there are some events which we know very much did happen, thanks to the “central” canonical timeline (which is the stuff more firmly, if inconsistently, cemented in TFP Cybertronian history across several stories/the show/etc.).
A lot of what the Age of Origins material covers can overlap other eras; I consider the Age of Origins material to be supplementary to the “primary” timeline, which is the individual established eras of Cybertronian history; The canonical and real-world purpose of the Covenant was to do this and help each era feel more real and bring more detail and backstory to material that wasn’t necessarily highlighted in the TFP show, so the framing of it being Alpha Trion writing the Covenant and the Age of Origins seemingly covering multiple eras to varying degrees makes sense in that context.
Some of the events within the Age of Origins may possibly be considered a “tail end” to the prior era, for example some of the Predacon material may fall into that category depending on how one looks at it; We know the eras in which Predacons lived, and how that overlaps with Cybertron’s post-Age of Primes development.
Origins Encapsulates Other Eras
So while the Age of Origins is named an “age”, it isn’t necessarily all happening within one era, and the individual eras on Cybertron are still distinctly outlined by one or more major event from the perspective of the Cybertronian people.
At the same time, Alpha Trion may consider a great deal more to be a collected Age of Origins, looking at history as a total ongoing singular event of sorts, as it is suggested Alpha Trion may perceive time as a single continuity which he has the ability to “edit” and has certain specific events which he considers to be keystone events (which he may have had some influence upon in some cases), whereas Cybertronian people on average may have a different sense of timescale.
So, for example, Alpha Trion may consider the vast majority of several eras to be a singular “Origin” period, whereas average Cybertronians would think of the same massive chunk of time as being broken down into several different eras.
The Age of Origins fits roughly into the first few Cybertronian eras, so I consider the Age of Origins to be overlapping, as the events it details seem to fit in as bookends to certain eras or as intermittent material that sort of bridges the early history together a little more smoothly, although there is some mention of more modern Cybertronian era content as well (stuff that fits in slightly better later on)-- But again, Alpha Trion do be looking at time differently!
So to Alpha Trion, he may consider a huge chunk of Cybertronian history to be the Age of Origins, while other people might categorise those events differently.
This seems to be the way the timeline is presented, when comparing the Covenant to other TFP/Aligned materials, but as with all Transformers continuities, it is impossible to say 100%! :’)
I hope this makes sense; I just woke up and gotta do weekend clinical support LOL so my brain is already fried. :’)
I have no time to cross reference the Covenant at the moment, so please also be aware that I’m almost certainly forgetting or missing something here!
If anyone may be interested in the Age of Origins, I would direct them to your excellent video on that material! :) <3
