Ideas Welcome: Cybertronian Cultural Arts!

Soooooo of course this is Wing's fault. We are not shocked are we?

Since this topic is mostly going to be head canon, I thought we could get some idea sharing happening on what Cybertronian cultural arts might include.

There could be a wide range of things and not everything needs to apply universally. Some things could be region specific, limited to certain universes, or just something your character made up. This would explain why different characters may have never heard or seen certain things, allowing us as players to pick and choose. Likely the more popular ideas would be the most widespread arts/activities.

I thought it'd be cool to form a melting pot of ideas that players could then pull from in the game. I would love to see any and all suggestions! Let's Collaborate!

I also welcome any and all notable references to these things in canon so that we can use that as a basis. I'll try and gather them all together.

Cultural arts generally include: song, music, dance, theater, architecture, visual arts and literature, etc.

But the cloning in TFP is adorable, and that's all that matters. Haha, when Starscream gets a little uncomfortable around his clones I just, I laughed. A lot.

And I'm not sure how this will jive with your headcanon, but regardless if it is physically possible or not, because canon implies that energon stores the information, that's just how I'm going to play it. With all the supplementary TFP canon everywhere I have the luxury of picking and choosing what I want to use, but I do place canon above headcanon (even when it ends up being kind of ridiculous.) So no offense meant if you end up catching some of Starscream's BS technobable and there's nothing in there about Allsparks or backup.

No offence will ever be taken! Canon trumps headcanon, even when canon is kinda stupid and physically impossible. It won't be the first or last time that happens in TFP, though it's one of the more glaringly egregious instances of "nope that just can't work." But let's face it : energon is magic.
