Headcanons for cardbots' anatomy and culture(kinda)

I wrote most of them to set cardbots apart from cybertronians and write down ideas for their mechanical insides. Tumblr seemingly doesn't like the formating im using.

Warning! Its a long read.

Anatomical hc:

Optic is a one whole led screen, very expressive, easily breakable

Charge instead of a spark (a ball of electricity with nerves that run through the whole body, you should under no circumstance touch it)

Charge consists of the Charge Core (a ball of high voltage electricity in the chest) and Charge Veins (thin vein-like strings that run through entire body from the Charge Core)

Charge Core is protected by dense shell made out of machinium. Charge Veins are attached to it

There are five main CV: 2 for arms, 2 for legs, 1 for head, if the mech has any other appendages (Deep Bite has a tail) than there is an extra CV

CV can split to fill smaller connected appendages (fingers, finials) and to connects to the internal organs (fuel tank, transformation hinges, hydraulics, etc)

If the CC' s shell is breached than it will start fizzling out. If the breach is big and not sealed in time the CC will dissolve and the mech will die

Thinner pieces that have CV ( finials, fingers, wings, FV’s flat thing) are very sensitive because the CV is closer to the surface, but fingers are less sensitive cus they’re used often

No combiners (Flame Nova is an exception*, Blue Cop got it from Deus Machina, I don’t fucking know what’s going on with Blastrain)

Can eat multiple form of fuel (it all converts to energy)

In the show they have a weird vicious liquid in their bodies for some fucking reason and I hate it. CHANGE all fuel converts to electricity, no viscous greens

No medical ports (thus can’t download data directly to their processor, have to learn it manually) But maybe they have bluetooth???

They just bonk their heads and send small not important files to each other (photos, short videos and gifs, tho the last two will have shitty quality). But if they have hats they need to take them off.

No partial patch thing (at least not through a cord, maybe through a em connection)

No subspace, its taken by their metal cards and weapons

sealed bots have subspace because their metal cards are stored in the metal breath, but its not big

Alt modes aren’t an exact copy of the scanned vehicle (it like 80% same)Change, they cant chose a different altmode, they are stuck with one forever. Change, the can choose their alt mode but not an exact copy 80%

I don’t think some of them even cared to scan a human vehicle and just stayed with their old altmode even on earth (Blastrain, Sky Gallop, Deep Bite (his altmode still would look animalistic as hell tho), Speranza crew)

Their windows are always tinted, even the front

EYE THINGIES ON FRONT WINDOW (all have it, a projections to better emote)

Very expressive even in alt mode

Have no mouths, there’s nothing like a mouth under the battle mask

Optic color can be changed through a simple medical procedure, means nothing really

There’s no specific organ that lets them transform rather its in their whole body (we have so much shit that makes us walk, not one specific organ)

Wings, cranes and other thin shit on the frame is more sensitive, cus the CV are closer to the surface

Can’t open the charge core chamber, if breached and not closed the charge will fizzle out very quickly, but injuries to charge veins are not lethal (they are very deep and small) usually they lead to the temporal paralysis ( mega ambler's things work the same)

Usually smaller than cybertronians (4-6 meters usually, some are just fucking big (Black hook is a boat but its a tiny ass boat, Heavy Iron was made like that for funsies), some are bigger cus of their frame types (Blasttrain and Sky Gallop))

Metal card can be used even in alt mode

Only one alt form, no triple-cadruple-sixtruple changers (triple changer is like a fantasy, their Spiderman would have it)

Vehicle only alt modes, no monkeys, guns or boomboxes

If an injury is sparking and leaking than its very very fucking bad and you need to go to a doctor NOW

They generally produce much less noise (fans are quiet, electrical inside are not noisy)

Frame types: car (Blue Cop), flight (Cielo, Shadow X), water related (Black Hook (YES HE IS A FLYING BOAT, BUT BOAT NON THE LESS), Deep Bite), other weird wheels (Rock Crush, Blastrain)

Yes there many sub frame types, but its mostly just civilian-small, standard, bigger transportation, giant guy. OWW has different sub types (car different wheels (tank), weird land vehicle metal wheels (trams and trains), something else construction vehicle (Rock Crush) )

OWW are rare

Animal traits are very rare, its a mutation

No claws, maximum is pointy fingers (exception Deep Bite)

FUCKING HATS. They are born with them (I mean not everyone, but it’s not rare). They are held down with small magnets

Are more common in ground frame than in any other (ground, oww, fly, water)

Something getting stuck on frame like a little magnet is okay, but too much of it and you can get sick

They can absorb gas fuel through their fans but its not very effective

THEY HAVE PORES IN THEIR MASKS TO ABSORB OTHER FUEL (they can taste)

Optics are very fragile and can break easily from underwater pressure (water frames are an exception).

water frames have generally sturdier optics, there is an additional layer of protective glass above the led.

Said additional layer can be installed manually (Phoenix Fire has it cus of his job (he has a lot of mods I think))

Are cooler in general (electricity produces less heat)

If they are damaged severely in their rout mode they cant transform (no hand/leg = impartial car that's missing something most likely vital)

The funny ahh guys who are kinda combiners but not really (Flame Nova, Blue Cop Trinity, Blastrain)

Flame Nova and Blastrain were supposedly born like that (not sure about FN) so when they are combined they should feel everything with their outer layer (touches, damage, em fields)

BC wasn’t born with Loader and Commander so when he’s combined he can’t exactly feel anything beyond severe damage and touches (but only cus he knows someone’s touching him)

Can I just make it very fucking individual? They all have different things regarding the combination ( it can be inborn or acquired through fucking magic or through illegal means (???), but it would be different for all of them)

Different fuels taste very different (methane is delicious kinda sweet, gasoline is basic a bit salty (potato), diesel is similar but fruity (???))

Energon and its variants taste like different acid/energy drinks with a fucked up electric aftertaste, bitter, leaves you sick but wanting more

Cardbots have a very diverse diet. Its advisable to consume 2 different types of fuel a day ( usually electricity and smt else)

The taste of the fuels can vary depending on the manufacturer and brand (‘ Coca Coalla’s diesel is weird, I like Fuelnta more its sweeter’ “Dude, Fuelnta is so poorly filtered, your pores have tiny pieces of minerals after you drink it”)

Energon is like a fucked energy drink for them. If they drink it they are going to run on walls for hours at best (at worst they will run around in circles for an entire day, their mind hazed and crazy, and they’ll get an incredible stomachache after all of that)

Cardbots have an organ for converting fuel to the vicious green liquid (I hate it. there's no reason for its existence(VICIOUS GREEN NO MORE)). Different fuels have different processing time (electricity is the fastest, straight to the core)

Energon is very energy dense compared to other fuels, so it's processing is kinda weird (the organ is working at max % with evey other fuel cus efficiency and it would take very long otherwise, but energon slips through it with such speed that the entire fps** can be fucked from it)

Imagine dropping a glass of liquid high concentration fuel into a wood oven

No charge pulse, constant buzzing instead (you cant hear it from all the plating around it) cannot be tracked by cybertronian tracking devices

They’re denser. Can be tossed around without getting any serious dents for much longer than cybertronians

Cultural (kinda) hc :

Electricity expelled through body (spark and little charges) is explained next

electricity expelled through body right next to someone is a horny kinda gesture

if you nuzzle someone and let out a spark of electricity, it will deepen the kiss and considerate a romantic gesture

you ate too much, if its continuing for more than a day than its a health problem related to fuel to energy transition or its an equivalent of a fever (mostly likely the fever)

Gender is expressed mostly only through pronounce

Optic color can be changed quiet easily, but due to optic’s construction it will be one solid color. Dark colors are not used at all.

Wingspeak is known by all flight frames from birth ( flight frame with autism will not know it sry)

Brighter optics = good mood, dim optics = bad mood or a health issue

SLEEP PILE SLEEP PILE SLEEP PILE, warmer bots sink, you know a guy for 1 one day and you now can sleep in a pile (not considerate horny at all). Usually sleep like that in rout mode, alt mode is less comfortable for a sleep pile

Names consist of two words or two roots or a word and a letter (Blue Cop, Blasttrain, Shadow X). The last one is rare and new (like giving your kid a fancy new name)

Something something magnetism and em stuff is very weird and they are very sensitive to it. (Em storm will give them strong migraines or make them horny idk yet)

No spark bonds or anything close to them

They sulk in their altmode (a car sitting in a dark garage is a sad giant robot)

Its harder to notice their fans are working (aka blushing)

They have shallow soup plates with for exmp gasoline and they dip their face mask in it and it slowly gets absorbed

If its gas fuel maybe its like a bong???

Cords and wires are mostly associated with internal organs and thus are kinda gross

Seeing cybertronian's medical ports and cables is very weird and gross

There’s deffinetly something like old English (Sky Gallop speaks with fucking thee thy and thou s)

Red Blitz’ name from Sky Gallop sounded like Crimson Flash (???)

That means that their language was changing rather rapidly (kinda like English) if the old version is still around, but the major changes occurred long ago enough that most people who speak it are either old Knights (Sky Gallop) or some high old caste (also Sky Gallop)

Maybe im making baseless assumptions based off of one character

DEUS MACHINA IS A GINORMOUS BALL OF ELECTRICITY THAT USES A COMPUTER AS A SHELL

CC is a parallel to Deus in a way ( the essence of a person is in a ball of electricity that is in protective shell / the essence of a God/Creator/Planet is a ginormous ball of electricity in a protective shell/computer)

The computer itself is just a shell, without it Deus will be absolutely incomprehensible for cardbots (they will receive every em signal that Deus consists of and just BOOM). I think that if you stood infront of itself with no shell you would understand everything She wants to say but also absolutely nothing because of the way Deus is constructed

I have a scene of Blue Cop floating in front of Deus in Her core. She doesn’t say anything but hundreds and thousands of meanings of Her words are in his processor. She cares about her creations but she knows they will never comprehend Her real form so she just sticks to the giant computer in the core of Machina.

Since Her shell is a computer it needs service. Every service bot of Hers is also a religious figure

I think her presence would stretch for miles, washing everything in Her em signals and Her electricity. Deus is omnipresent without Her shell. When Machina was blown up everyone had sensed Her. Her dying spirit. Her presence. Her emotions.

She has desmos music vibes

ELECTRICITY SYMBOLISM in visual art

A spark or a bolt between 2 bots is romantic, meaning close intimacy

A ball with sparks around it is a religious thing. Has a caring, kind, all-knowing undertone to it

Half a ball with sparks is also religious. Has an omnipresent, all-knowing, always watching undertone, used rarely. Mostly used in religious texts and paintings/posters

A lot of thin bolts of electricity around someone = pain, sickness, punishment for greed (if the sparks are closer to beak)

2-3 sparks around beak = good taste, awesome fuel, hearty meal

CN structure = insides, strong but thin and curvy, weasy

Im gonna reread it later and think 'bruh what was i on'

Cardbots generally deal with loneliness worse. And they all at least for some time were alone when they landed on earth (their save capsules/podes are for 1 person) so they do appreciate the company more. S1 group is especially clingy in their sleep pile cus no one wants to lose anyone again (its a bit denser than a normal one) even Heavy Iron couldn't sleep alone for very long. And they are generally more sociable than cybertronians I think.

Number 1 psychological issue is abandonment issues/anxiety

Smaller bots sleep curled up, the bigger the bot the more they spread out ( HI is 🧍‍♂️ while BC is 🧶)

The single-colored optic (exm Heavy Iron) is an intimidation tactic. Though can be turned on instinctively if the bot isn’t thinking straight (BC high on energon, Flash&Bit bros with the metal from s2)

#metal card bot #i agree with almost all of this #RAAAAAAAAA #metalcardbot #fr idk whats going on with the combiners #they're very social #glad im not the only one who though deus machina would look like that #man i am eating this up #vicious green sobb

MCB head cannon/ships

This r my opinions but there's a few things I personally might gate keep really hard

I'm sorry fellas but that's how I am <//3

It is verrryyy long- like super long I could turn this into a vid

Also some suggestive jokes, just as a heads up

HEADCANNON

Rock crush is a child, you cannot change my mind.

Honestly should be a fact^

Shadow x, buffalo crush, buster gallon, red blitz, spark beat and flash vector are adolescent (18-20's)

With how they sound and act it only makes sense y'know, tho I feel like buffalo crush and buster gallon would be a little bit older!!

Buffalo crush and buster gallon are brothers

I can see it, but blackhook has favoritism or smthn lmaoo

sparkbeat and flash vector are brothers

I'm not even headcannoning

This is CANNON tho, it says in the show, But some people don't realise that?

Sky gallop and Cielo are women (trans woman)

Not headcannon but saying the truth/j

Nah but it's more like fannon y'know, dispite what the toy creator says otherwise fans continue calling em women<3 but it should be cannon

orso plzzz conform the Yuri plZz I'm on my knees, save me yuri guhghfdh

ok so parent headcannons r more like Fannon since I'm sure we all can agree with it yknow

Spalanza Crew is Found Family

Cielo is like Redblitz older sister and we got like the fun uncle or just oldest brother musclehyde

Then daddio old man gigantrex

It's just like that yknw yknw

Black hook is the father of buffalo crush and buster gallon

Sky gallop is like a mom to spark beat and flash vector

For those my reason is I just feel like being in a crew is basically found family just like how we saw with the SPALANZA CREW, like fr if their kids learned the meaning of mom/dad they'd definitely be calling em that y'know just like with how Redblitz learned abt it

I also just find it so cute that both blackhook and sky Gallop carry them around, guhh lill babies just being picked up or that junk y'know I just find it SOOOOO ADORABLE💗💖💓

Glober is a father to rock crush

(bonus) also deepbite being a father to rock crush 2, him and glober raising rock crush<333

I mean by just the way he cares for rock crush it just personally feel like that

And how it's so cute rock crush doesn't find DeepBite scarry cuz like UEUFJJGJGJ

Just simple headcannons that I personally resonate with and cuz they're my favorites lol

Blasttrain is a transman, because why not

He's my favorite that's why, and bc trains<333

Bluecops trans too lmao

It only makes sense, have you seen his top surgery lately??

Bluecop is the shortest, I'm sure this is all agreed on-

tbh I can't even call this a headcannon cause it seems cannon

If you look at pictures and Like if u put the figurines next to each other you might be able to tell

I only own bluecop atm, I'll find out when I have the whole collection... Soon!!

And cause orso loves making bluecop suffer, I called it

It's CANNON he's A SHORT KING!1!!1 in

Also

SKY GALLOP IS THE TALLEST

With the group picture and everything, like honestly it's cannon too lmaoo

TALL QUEEN!!!1!!

MY MAIN SHIPS:

These are in pairs atm, poly ships r way in the bottom<3

My personal favorites

Blue cop x wild guardy

WILDCOP

Yaoi... And well cuz fanboy that finally gets to be with his idol... I'm lovee this ship sm

And I found a headcannon in this one server and it can get real complex with the emotions and I'm digging it

Why is wildgaurdy so obsessed with bluecop, Does wildgaurdy wanna be him? Does he wanna overpower him? Is he just into him?

Will I try to recall it all and try explain the rest to you? No, just think about it deeply...

Cielo x sky gallop

KNIGHTJET

Yuri.... Girly

EDIT: THEY WERE FLIRTING HJFJGKGKG, CANT CHANGE MY MIND

I THOUGHT- it sounded like they were flirting before they started dueling BUT then I got so disappointed when they weren't and I'm just like this the next few minutes-

"Sigh really? Sob, my brain playing tricks on me"

I'm not sure but once I see the new sub I'm going to tweakk but like when it comes to girls sky gallop would pause to give it a thought-

Oh and Fleta z gets cucked, imagen trying to rizz these two assertive women just to find out they're lesbians smh

He's not on their level yet

They're too feisty

just wait for my poly ship just for the good ending for fletaZ

Heavy iron x black hook

IRONHOOK (tbh people keep calling them heavyhook but this just sounds more better to me, to each their own tho!!)

Angry old men yaio, all that pent up frustrated sexual energy, JUST FUCKING KISS

And also they have history, they're not fighting for no reason y'know, they used to know each other

Ex's? Seems like it

Mega ambler x Phoenixfire

HOTLINE

The healthy yaoi 🥺

It makes sense obvi, also the time he comforts phoenixfire is like awee

Glober x deepbite

GUPPY

I mean duh, their son is rock crush

And being "friends" with an outlaw? You gotta real familiar with him if that's the case lmao

Dexter x fleta z

It's pretty good too, it's an existing ship anyways

Their things are animals

SHIPS I THINK THAT MAKE SENSE/HAS POTENTIAL OR R JUST LIKE CRACK SHIPS:

I think some of these have potential but some I just ship cause I find it funnie

Blue cop x almost anyone

EXCEPT Flame Nova and rock crush, my reasons are at the very bottom

I mean have you seen the way he's interacted w/ everyone? It only makes sense lmao

I just think it's funny but also like give off those vibes

Imagine They're passing him around like a blunt💀

Shadow x x flash vector

Invisible... Also I'd like the idea of shadow x teasing him, make him freak out inside

Red blitz x spark beat

Saw a cute post abt it, and we'll I think their personalities would fit well

Heavy Iron X Gigantrex

Ooo imagen these two, there's some potential here and I like it

I got this ship from a friend and I love it lol

Musclehyde x Dexter

Animals

Buffalo crush x mega trucker

Tbh I can see it, look at their themes, football player and like a wrestler, I vibe they can bulk together or something

Redblitz X shadow x

I've seen someone joke that they're the same with different filers and im like... That's so truee

I feel like one is stubborn and the other is a trickster I can see them pulling pranks on others lmao

Deep bite x red blitz

Edit: I'm starting to realize how bad this is of a ship... Maybe- uh-

Crack ship

Only bc he literally ate his ass... Twice...

Shrimp's a good snack for a shark

💀

Glober x sky gallop

crack ship

Cowboy and horse girly, I just find it funny it's not srs

Haha he be riding that horse, would she fit??💀💀

Dunno seems like his boyfriend has double, shark facts checks out💀💀💀

I prefer glober and DeepBite more tbh

Sky gallop x blasttrain

Only cuz they're both my favorites- I mean he slammed his face first into her crotch what do you want me to do-

and well their whole thing is transporting tbh and they're the most largest out of everyone

I'm 50% on this tbh, I love sky Gallop and Cielo more

POLY SHIPS:

There should be poly ships, I need to see them, there's a lot of em to go around

As a multi shipper tis is my deuty

Heavy iron x black hook x gigantrex

Big men... Humk

Flame nova doesn't get to have any part in this lmao, he's got too much internalized homophobia

Ok maybe as an extra he's also in on this, that's depends on you guys

Heavy iron x black hook x gigantrex x flame Nova

Just a crack ship, The only time he got in once lol, it's a small gag with my friends that he doesn't get to have any fun bc he has internalized homophobia

I just find it funny lol

Lmao I would go on with blasttrain to add on but he probably wouldn't want to be in any of that... maybe?

Musclehyde x Dexter x fleta z

Their whole thing is animals, I can't help myself

Cielo x sky gallop x fleta z

The good ending for fletaZ

special headcannon for this ship

fleta z slowly realises they're a trans woman in this ship

I just like the idea of this, supportive girlfriends

YURI!1!!!!1!

This is another favorite of mine lol

Tbh hot take but at this point all they sky base cardbots should be women

And well bc I used to keep mistaking fletaZ as a girl when I first saw just a picture of them, and now I turned her trans, you can't do anything about it xp

BANISHED, NEVER SHIP THEM.

I gate keep this so hard

Like I am judging you if u do ship these

Bc it is like dark ship y'know... Reason I don't rlly consider ironhook or something as dark is bc they can handle eachother and have history or something

Y'know just like megop!! They can handle eachother!

But that's my opinion eh

Tbh Something that's not one sided and I'm on your boat!!

flamenova x sky gallop

EWIE GROSS, he literally abuses her and controls her children, that literal chin lift makes me wanna vomit ewie

This ship is ew, you can't change my mind, it's too toxic for me man and one sided :[

she's already pretty injured and he's rlly gotta rub salt in that wound, like squeezing her injured turbine?? Not cool man...

Flame Nova x Bluecop

he's probably like blue cops mentor, it would make it like he groomed him Sobb-

Like being a high ranked starguardian??

Hugeee power imbalance TBH

I kinda see him as like a dad to bluecop or something if he's ever getting a redemption

Rock crush x anyone

he's a literal child, you can't change my mind.

Parentxchild/siblingxsibling (including my headcannons and Fannons)

I see you blackhook x buster gallon shippers... Ew...

Sobb- and I recently saw a Cielo and musclehyde...

I'VE SEEN SOMEONE SHIP FLASH VECTOR x SPARKBEAT TOO... NOOO???? THEY'RE BROTHERS, BROTHER EWW..!1?!!

It's cannon that they're brothers, it's in the show, wtf r u doing???

SMH

But yeah I hope we can agree with most of these, I'm chill if u don't like some of these ships I'm just presenting potentials y'know? There could be some variety!!

Tho Esp the never ship ones I hope we Do agree on those or I am judging you...

Also I rlly hope you guys like the ship names too for existing ships!!

Hope y'all have a nice day, TYSM for reading through my long list of deranged writing, I appreciate that you read the whole thing<33333333333333333333333333333333333333

This has been in my head for too long honestly and I'll be obsessed with this show for how long it'll last and maybe beyond that

I'm opening my asks inbox for these kinda things btw, be civil<333333

Next I'll keep posting art or even start theorizing what's next for season 3 bc I'm so excited even tho theres no announcement for it sufjjgjgkgmgngnsdj
