re_alignment | [Text] There is such a thing as too many questions

[Guys you better brace yourselves because Four isn't holding back at ALL.]

Languages are an important part of society, whatever society that may be, and is always fascinating to study. I know that translators largely make it possible for us to communicate with each other regardless of the language we currently speak... or in my case, write. I have a large appreciation for spoken word and how words, ideas, and memories look like when written in different languages. So what I want to know is: What language does everyone usually speak? I currently communicate in what humans call 'German', though I will switch between English and Arabic from time to time. I prefer not to use English too often though, it is not the most reliable language of the ones I know. For Cybertronians: Are there different kinds of Cybertronian languages like there are different kinds of Earth languages? If there are, how and why do they differ? Another couple of questions for Cybertronians: Why do some of you have noses while others don't? How does gender work for your kind? How do you see while you are transformed? Also :) Look I made a smile!

Well, some got noses and some don't depending on either their frame type or who constructed 'em or... maybe something happened to 'em.

Gender is more like "frame type" to us, or at least it's that way where I'm from. Mechs are like the dudes of our species and femmes are the dudettes. Doesn't really mean anythin', though, other than that. Pretty much all the internal stuff is the same.

Seeing in vehicle mode for me is more like my sound sensors and, um... well, I could say, but it's pretty technical stuff. You wanna know, kiddo?

Also! Languages! I could totally teach you a few whenever you'd want sometime. Cybertronian stuff, too. Most of it's dialect, though.

and here are some totally awesome faces my little buddy ravage would use

=^_^= because it's a cat see
:3 another kitty face
=n.n= he has a lot of kitty faces
D: when he's surprised but unhappy

Frame type? That makes sense. Is there any particular reason why some have that frame type? Mirage is teaching me Cybertronian! You should help me too! I think your language is fascinating. =^_^= :3 =n.n= D: \o/ I made a cheering person!

Mm, not too sure about the science of it. Sometimes it's the ember-- or, uh. Spark, for most Cybertronians, I guess?

Yeah, I'll totally help you out, little dude!

Nicely done. You're gonna be a pro with those text expressions in no time.

:D What's your name?

That's a good smile!

Name's Soundwave.

My name's 4! Nice to meet you. Why are you named Soundwave?

'Cuz I'm pretty good at using sound to my advantage. I'm a communications expert, dude!

Why are you named Four?

What does a communications expert do? Is it a difficult job? I'm named 4 because I was the 4th creation made. 5 was the 5th and 2 was the 2nd and so on. There are 9 of us in total.

I block stuff from the bad guys, hack their comms, and I'll communicate orders an' stuff for my team! Or at least that's what I did durin' the war. I don't think it's hard, but... well, that's 'cuz I was made for it.

Creation? For what, li'l dude?

What was this war about in your universe? Is it Autobots vs Decepticons like the others? I was created by the Scientist and I am one of his Creations. We were created for the purpose of surviving, among other things.

Mmm. It was... mostly just tryin' to defend our homes and ourselves, honestly. Bit different than the others, I think. 'Bots are crazier where I'm from, usually.

What kinda things?

You mean it's the Decepticons defending their home against the Autobots? That's quite a bit different from the others. We were created to observe and preserve humanity. The humans in my world created something that destroyed them all, leaving only myself and my family. It's a bit of a long story actually.

Yeah, I know. But that's th' fact of my universe. We were protectin' ourselves from the mondo bogus Autobots.

That's... so sad, little dude. I'd like to hear more 'bout it sometime, if you're okay with that.

I don't mind telling it. There's no reason to keep any of it a secret. It starts sad and ends sad, just so you know.
