Some headcanons I have about my fic at random (Pt. 28).

Not all the bots are landlocked. Steeljaw can swim, so can Thunderhoof and Springload, but they all do it for different reasons.

Steeljaw just likes to swim sometimes, and he also goes fishing when he feels like it. Thunderhoof has a taste for water plants and will willingly go swimming very far out from the mainland just to find a lush bed. Springload mainly does it to cool off.

Baby Beastformers actually have individual species names to call them by (like how you call a baby cat a kitten) instead of just sparklings and younglings.

Scorpicons: Scorplings.

Spidercons: Spiderlings.

Chompazoids: Chompies or Chompers.

Sharkticons: Pups/cubs.

Centipedeocons: Pedelings.

Wolfcons: Pups/cubs (very young pups may even be called kits though its uncommon).

Buffaloids: Calves.

Elkbots: Fawns.

Cancericons: Zoae.

Erethizobots: Porcupettes.

Anurabots: Tadpoles (taddies for short).

Foxcons: Kits, sometimes pups or cubs.

Anisopterobots: Nymphs.

There's a difference between how Scorpicons of different ages or different physical states hunt.

Young or more energetic/healthy Scorpicons (like Paralon) will favour running down their prey into exhaustion. They have the energy and endurance to pursue prey even up trees and cliffs.

Older or sick/injured Scorpicons (like Scorponok) prefer ambush tactics. They lie in wait for their prey instead since it helps save energy for say, recovering or more important matters.

Nursing Scorpicons or those who's Scorplings can't hunt yet also use ambush tactics. They have to get back to their littles alive, after all.

Steeljaw has the most energy when it's dark out. Wolfcons and Canicons in general alternate between diurnal, cathemeral, crepuscular and nocturnal cycles depending on the individual. Steeljaw is between crepuscular and nocturnal.

He goes for a run in the forest just before dawn breaks and when dusk sets in, and will nap in short spans throughout the day and night. He's normally a bit slower in the mornings, but not full-on sleeping. He'll settle for a siesta if he's too tired though.

Slipstream and Jetstorm knead on their pillows when they're asleep. You know how cats knead on things when they're relaxed? Same.

They do it on whatever they sleep, even the 'bots's chests and laps although the main problem there is 1. They may look small but they're deceptively heavy and 2. That means when they're on your lap, they'll accidentally cut off your blood/oil/Energon flow.

Doesn't stop the 'bots from scooping them up and just cradling them to sleep though.

One of the funniest things Ida (Denny's wife in this story) ever saw was Steeljaw trying to lick yoghurt out of a tub.

Here's the thing...the tub is the size of a thimble for his overall height. He can't fit his tongue in there AT ALL, but the big wolfy boy is still trying because hey, strawberry yoghurt is good, man.

She couldn't take the situation seriously and ended up having to sit down because she was laughing so hard.

Drift suffers from a Transformer equivalent of PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome) that fucks with his appetite badly.

The result is that he has intense midnight cravings for sweet things because of the robo-insulin resistance and robo-hormones going berserk.

A lot of it is waved off as him not having had enough to eat in the past (which is true also) but there's also irregularities like he will suddenly not eat, suddenly overeat. There are days he can consume a strongly-flavoured Energon without gagging because the craving is THAT strong.

He keeps a jar of Energon cookies so he has easy access to an edible though.
