S.S. Frame Wing Emotes

Adding to this post originally bringing up the star seeker frame type

Star seeker wings have 3 main states: neutral, where all wings are relaxed. Submissive, where the secondary wings are lowered. Dominant, where both secondary and primary wings are flared up and out.

Extra notes on S.S. wings below cut

--

Star seekers were not built with sensitive wings, able to take a few bumps without feeling any pain. Some individuals may still dislike having their wings handled, and excessive impacts against hard surfaces may lead to irritation at most.

Breaking or bending their wings of course does cause pain, but breaking a leg typically hurts them more.

Star seekers do not have the most expressive wings, their secondary wings doing most of the emoting with occasional fluttering, wiggling or dips. Most movements are during positive interactions, for example fluttering when one receives a compliment.

Their primary wings rarely emote, mostly during stronger waves of emotions. They most often use their wings for silent signaling to each other during situations where they must be quiet, but that is different from emoting.

They can do something called 'wing rattling', shaking their long wings rapidly against each other and their back plating to create a loud aggressive noise.

If a star seeker's wings are flared aggressively, they may rattle their wings if they feel the message 'back off' wasn't clear enough.

If an individual is feeling petty or spiteful, they might rattle their wings to interrupt/drown out others, if only to annoy one or more people.

In addition to wing rattling, star seekers can also snap their primary wings by moving them up and down in one quick motion to create a loud clash. This sound is also mainly an aggressive one, but while rattling is usually a warning to back off or shut up, snapping is either a challenge or to draw attention.

Wing rattling and snapping is only ever done during face-to-face interactions and preferably in an environment that has less of a risk of ambush or is perfectly acceptable to be loud in.

spent way too much time making a sketch of the new dressage programme

First things first, I'm gonna be rewriting my fic due to new ideas flowing in.

Secondly, let me info dump some things about sparklings in my AU.

The Sparkling's name in this pic is Firefly. She's an Oplita kid.

A Sparkling's gender is in the optic color. Female Cybertronians will have cooler or lighter tones of the color they have. While males will have a more warm hue of said color. As an example of this, Starscream, who was originally forged as female, has a more pink color to the red of his optics. A Cybertronian born as a male with red optics will have more of a fiery orange tint to it, Grimlock and various Decepticons being prime examples. On the rare occasion that a Sparkling is born without an assigned gender, they will have the base color of optics and will be referred to as neutral pronouns. Nightshade is a great example of this. Gender can be changed in the future when and if they decide to.

On the topic of optic colors, the color of the child's optics will be based on the parents. If a Cybertronian with red optics is to forge a Sparkling with a Cybertronian with yellow optics, the chances of that child being born with orange optics is highly likely, with the rare cases of heterochromia occurring with both the eye colors of the parents. 'Pure color' optics, a rather derogatory term, is where a Sparkling has unmixed optics and has had parents with the same optic color, those two being typically red and yellow. Optic colors can also be slightly changed with a film over the optic, much like a colored contact lense, though, it is usually easy to tell.

Sparklings are born with only one base color, a white or light gray (debatable by cyber-parents) this color is the base color of the metal they are made of. A metal that grows with them and allows their bodies to change voluntarily into whatever mode they wish with some limitations based on heritage and age. Typically, they develop the ability to transform once they are six cycles (6 million human years) old.

Sparklings can change their paint jobs when they are old enough to transform. They also can change their colorings whenever they please as adults. The colorings that are typically chosen matter based on the colors of their parent(s)/guardian(s).

Much like human children, they develop to speak coherently at a toddler age. During their infant and newborn stages, they typically babble in unintelligible Cybertronian, which consists of cybernetic sounds and rumbles. Purring is not something only Sparklings possess. Adult Cybertronians also have the ability to purr and do it quite often to convey contentment or happiness to a situation or individual that makes them feel positive emotions. Cooing is something mostly maternal or paternal figures do in front of their offspring or anything they deem fit to be under their care. Typically, those who transform into avian vehicles coo to their young.

Female Cybertronians are typically more aggressive than males. Originally, in Cybertronian history, females were bigger than the males, dominating the planet until they were nearly all wiped out. Over time, and the lack of resources from hiding, they became smaller, some even becoming male to avoid scrutiny. Because of the shortage of females, homosexual relationships are quite common within the males of Cybertron. Some of the females who have managed to escape Cybertron have populated other planets where it is nearly all female.

Avian based infant Sparklings will likely learn how to run or move quickly with the thrusters built into their bodies, typically their backs or feet. While land based Sparklings will learn on their wheels or just like human children.
