My first bunny, a very long bunny.
A cheery blue is the default color of all Cybertronians, regardless of faction, 'bots just either added lenses or manually changed their colors, by adding a 'virus' to their programming. During the beginning war, the natural blue came to symbolize how they wanted Cybertron to be saved, preserved, kept the same, and so on, while red optics signified how they wanted change, this is going by how at first the 'Cons were freedom fighters that got corrupted along the way with 'bots and 'cons eventually switching positions -though some 'bots did want reform, just in a less bloody way-. Everyone pretty forgot all about the color difference and through time, corruption, and propaganda red optics came to be symbolize the evil Deceptions and blue optics for the heroic Autobots. (Purple came to symbolize those who were neutral, either be the ‘virus’ loosing hold, or some other reason.)
Now, millions of years in the war, everyone forgot all about natural optic color. (Very few sparklings were born, so there were no reminders, and the few who had either became Autobots or had the Red 'con programming in their CPU’s.).
However, some bots were born with 'glitches', different color optics. Those bots would either:
1.1 Be referred to as nobility, treated special, like kings, and protected against everything, etcetera.
1.2 Shamed. They were different, glitches to society and were left out on the streets to perish and live hard lives. They were ridiculed by nearly everybody.
1.3 They were born with special abilities, such as (Maybe...) Warping, changing form, telepathy, super speed, invisibility…
1.4 This one might go into tf-kink territory, but breeders. They had the ability to either get sparked rather quickly, where for most Cybertronians it takes centuries for conception, spark themselves, split their spark, or have multiple sparks no problem, whereas it’s very dangerous to normal bots. They also rumored to be amazing interface partners...
1.5 Status rank. Maybe if you had golden eyes, (This is partly canon) you were born in nobility after a precise amount of generations of other nobles. Green if you grew up in the slums, the contaminated energon either in the 'womb' or as a sparkling mutated them and leads to 1.2. Or something likes that.
No matter the situation, those rare bots either knew they had to leave the situation and go to war or just couldn't stand what the color brought them and wanted to fight and be 'normal', for whatever reason, they changed their optic color, like so many others. Whether they just wore lenses, changed their programming, or just wore visors, they did something to change their rare optic color.
Now, it’s years and years later in the war, where nearly everyone has forgotten about it, only a very select few didn’t, -possible those with rare optics themselves- but something happened. Maybe it was one of Wheeljack’s inventions or their bodies finally rejected whatever had been done to them, but everyone reverted back to their natural optic color. Now that those few have been found out, certain things happened. They:
1.1 Were treated back like that once again, the war even stopping -they could get hurt! - To treat the war hardened bots like precious, newborn sparklings. Much to those bots annoyances who seriously wish the war would just start up again.
1.2 No one did accept them and eventually they despised that they were friendless, broken sparked/hearted, lost all their power and respect, and so, for whatever reason, they left. So those bots started own faction to get the respect they deserved, to once again have friends, or revenge.
1.2b They were possibly accepted by their comrades, so the bots from the opposite faction left to go join the later where they would be respected and treated fair. After all, why should you fight for someone who wants you dead?
1.3 Nothing really changed, everyone was simply used to it. Skywarp, for example, warping around wouldn’t stun anyone into shock. Neither would Blurr running around top speed really make most bots really shocked. Nothing happens, except their optics showing.
1.3b but then again, they DO have those magnificent powers. Everyone thinks that that makes sense to want those genes passed down to their own offspring, and those bots are suddenly being courted.
1.4 The obvious in this situation occurs. Everyone wants to breed with them and have lil' sparks, so those bots are suddenly the most desired things in the universe to them. The war even stopping, to court certain bots, after all, silly factions shouldn't have an account on 'love'. Of course, this is much to all those bots horror.
1.5 Refer to 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3.
Bonus: None of the visored bots want -or even do, if they’re sneaky enough- to give up therevisors. No doubt they're not only sanctuary and ingrained habits for those bots, but even customized.
Shit. I think I might just write this now that I accedently planned it all out.... Well, what do you guys think? Hall'ova lot for my first post
