keeping canon straight has never been so hard with a 40+ yr old fandom, star trek never does this to me and you are all liars

basically what im saying is that robots who can feel touch and understand the concept of pleasure can 100% associate those 2 things, the only thing stopping that is the ability to climax

on top of that our brains are incredibly plastic, we can recode our brains very easily with reassociation and repetition, the only thing that makes touch feel different is the context and associations we have.
Sensual and Clinical touching is very different for a reason (the entirety of bdsm also)

everyone else is too mixed in personality continuity wise for me to decide but i have thoughts

also just as an add on, there is a LOT of fanon about seekers being caretakers and it objectivly makes no sense evolutionarily that the flying high octane frames would be universal caregivers yal are just thinking of broody birds, they would 100% be the kinds of birds to push babies out of nests

this is the least Human Gender dependent model i can think of that still makes sense, because of their nebulous reproductive methods i can only assume that sex/gender has nothing to do with what position you hold in reproduction

SO back to explaining the idea, the two models of Gender would be mech/femme (spiritual or spark gender) and Frame Type as our Sex. Frame type in this instance is referring to fliers vs grounders and their subtypes (someone pls explain the canon connection between doorwingers and fliers im begging)

(i take that back secondary sex chara. is 100% hardware upgrades) (im making the abo comparison for brevity but to be clear this is a non sexual speculative biology model not a sex thing i promise)

NO ONE KILL ME FOR THIS NEXT PART IM SAYING IT SINCERELY!!! I think a cybertronian gender model would be more similar to abo. I SAID DONT KILL ME!! where you have a primary and secondary sex/gender (in this specific case its mixed up because i dont know how to model secondary sex chara. in robots

imagining him as a human is fun because he 100% runs a tattoo and piercing shop without a lisence and hes GOOD at it but he also will do snake eye tongue piercings and regularly does hand dermals cause he thinks its funny

keep color blocking from CAP, modify colors to liking but allow for use of pinstripping in design (make sure it flows on correct panels for alt mode), windows all are smoked out neutral dark gray with black vignette
Neutral Medic so no Bot/Con badge (rescuebot badge???? check timeline)

EGH made a mistake, i said that back doors are secondaries but i meant the wingflap section whcih attaches to lower torso below antennas on top of hips, doors stay closed and make up side of abdomen
comment in response to

several plates on the wings would be moved to other portions (plate connected to wingstrut detaches and becomes part of the elbow, good chunk of wing attached to roof/cabin becomes the back and sticks out the lower rib area as a spike) this allows for compression of the shape and they become thinner
comment in response to
post
backplate made up of the roof, 2 antennas become lower lat area and jut off on a 60* angle downwards to avoid wings and arms

rest of tail unfolds into a real whip like tail, side tail fins act as other movable fins
bottom of the nose opens and the propellor rotor makes up most of the helm, faceplate is uncovered by pec plate, propellor blades all rotate to back and act as long spikey audials
comment in response to
post
side plates of chassis rotate to become pauldrons and upperarm
front doors fan into secondary doorwings/side vents, wing struts and back wheels/bottom of chassis rotate to become the arms
base of tail and back row become the legs (windows flare off front of thighs to create a wider thigh profile)
comment in response to
post
the front of the chassis would open on the x, top portion becoming the back of the head and shoulder struts, front wheel becomes part of the torso, bottom portion of front chassis becomes the pec/upper torso region

ok wait im picturing it, high wing design means that the windshield would slide back with the wings, theyd rotate downwards similar to propellor blades, they would each be apx 15 feet in height which would match a frame height of 25+ feet

ughhh these are such awkward specs lmao WHAT HEIGHT ARE YOU U DUMB MECH

pretty much it for now but if your curious i quote tweeted the two articles i was talking about that inspired a lot of these ideas, they are pretty cool so check them out

-new opinions and associations which can be modified through tagging and file attachments for notes/logs (writing this is making it very clear how autistic i am i hope lmao)

in the case of memory associations, (and this part is based in a study i read like 5 hours ago on sensory seekers and amygdala activity) emotions are linked through tags and can be resorted at anytime, the process of de-fraging (analog for dreams) and re-processing memory banks can cause-

long way around to get here but the way this impacts How a Spark Works is that a spark interacts with other parts of a bots anatomy in the same way a humans heart beat responds to our emotions, just in this case its both the cause and the effect of cardio-electric changes

what we do know is that language has a very strong impact on how we think which is cute because coding languages have different ways of operating and processing (only factor is how much impact)

#4: Coding
it gets tricky here because this is where the idea of artificial intelligence comes in, obviously the allegory here is for DNA but even in humans we dont know how much control nature v nuture has on personalities and thought process

#3: Memory
another easy one, uhhh memory is when you keep things in your brain like a hard drive
fr though my idea of Cybertronian memory storage is essentially an archivists wet dream of a tagging system for what emotions are connected to what memories and how they all link together

#2: Critical Thinking/Processing
a computers processor is where math is done, where equations and algorithms are run, this is quite literally thinking critically, easy

#1: Emotions
A bots emotions are stored in their Spark’s, a soul is the most ephemeral part of a bot as are emotions, additionally, a spark isnt so much consciousness as it is a part of Primus that literally gives life to their frames (and is electricity) and has a personality
