Description
Robots originating from the world of Cybertron, their physical appearance varies widely but is almost always humanoid in base form
Abilities
Convert raw resources into small amounts of energon, refine energon into a more efficient form, use energon to 'heal' and fabricate weapons and ammo, change from robot form into a meteoric protoform or one or more alt forms, powerlink between larger and smaller Cybertronians to upgrade their base weapons, combine with other Cybertronians of roughly equal size for additional alt forms. Older Command class or Seeker Cybertronians have Personal Space Bridge generators for short range (same star system) travel.
Race Persona
Varies by faction with the peace loving Autobots and the conqueror Decepticons being the major factions. Minor factions include the Seekers who all Cybertronians with a dominate alt mode capable of flight belong to though some of the triformers and others with multiple non protoform alts are still considered Seekers and the Mini-cons who are all Cybertronians under 12' tall in their tallest mode not counting accessories/combinations/powerlink. Minor factions tend to split between the major factions as far as behavior and personality. Due to the effective destruction of Cybertron, both major factions are nomadic though there are several colony worlds like Speed Planet.
Social Customs
Strongly influenced by faction personality, Autobots are friendly though a little standoffish towards those they see as less evolved races while the Decepticons are more secretive and treat 'lesser' races as bugs to be exterminated unless using them against the Autobots.
Language
Written language is comparable to the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt and similar civilizations of Earth while the 'spoken' language alternates between the more efficient and longer ranged machine code and the slower but more universal spoken words of the locals of a given planet.
Hierarchy
Subtle class system based on design capabilities, Command class leads any group with the official leader being called Prime such as current Autobot leader Optimus Prime. The other classes and their roles are: Brawler(heavy hitters), Seeker(Flight specialists), Support('medics' and engineers), Scout(scouts of course), Sniper(firearms specialists), and Tank(defense specialist)
Tech and science
Given that the Cybertronians are sentient robots, Science and tech are mixed with little if any distinction between the two. At one point able to design and build a network of Space Bridges connecting Cybertron to its colonies in a vast FTL network as well as building star destroying energon harvesters, the death of Cybertron in the war between Autobot and Decepticon as well as a period of stagnation prior to the war have stripped much of the technical knowledge away from the entire Cybertronian race.
Transportation
While capable of building vast ships and massive land transports, for the most part, Cybertronians rely on alt and protoforms for anything requiring more speed than their base forms allow.
Spiritual Beliefs
Primary deity is named Primus while many worship the Allspark as the heart of Cybertron. Cybertron itself was once worshiped as a god like entity as was a rival transforming planet called Unicron. Of some debate among the Cybertronians, Quintessa is a mini-con with Primus level power.
