Superstitions in the hangar:

It's bad luck to get the unit insignia on your 'mech shot off. It's extremely bad luck if, if it's a face or head of some kind, it gets a shot through the eye.

Burn, or at least thoroughly wash and swap for another, any pilot gear you were wearing in a 'mech that got destroyed. Metal-death sticks deep.

In certain units, you have to address your 'mech by its full serial code until you've had your blood spilled on it. (Shrapnel, glancing shots, purposeful sacrificial incisions, however you do it.) Only then do you give it a name.

Any 'mech that uses fire as its primary weapon has to face inwards in its niche or bay. (There's a reason for this one. Backing out is tricky, and any obstacle that can be put in the path of burning people to death, people generally try to ensure is.)

Never gamble in the hangar. Not even flipping a coin. You don't want them learning to leave things to chance.

No sleeping in your cockpit. A 'mech's interior, in superstition, should not be your comfy spot- otherwise you get too relaxed, and don't stay as wary as you should.

If a 'mech got a pilot shot out of or through the cockpit, keep said cockpit open whenever it's not in action for at least a week. Make sure they've had time to pack their things out. Then keep it shut for a full night, in some traditions with a last packet of energy gel or similar outside it.

Y'all are acting like the giant robot fandom invented the eroticism of the machine when I've literally met self-taught mechanics who talk about working on their shitty cars in exactly the same way. When you've heard somebody wax rhapsodic about the transformational power of being shoulder-deep in a 1993 Ford Taurus, seeing folks on Tumblr shitpost about roboticising their genders just ain't that unusual.

pinball machine robot girl

the front of her torso is partially transparent to display a fully featured pinball machine themed after human organs but obviously made of machine parts. the buttons are on the sides of her hips, so you rest your hands and gaze into her tummy intently to get a high score. she complains if you tilt her too much and gets embarrassed when you fail and have to put another coin in. shivers when you pull the plunger but tries to stay still for you

TFW your twenty-tonne superior officer faints dramatically into your arms (and then cusses you out for touching him)

Transformer Prime Details I’ve Noticed

The Autobot’s computer keyboard keys are short, small and squarely.

maybe cause it’s built with Ratchet’s square fingers in mind:

The Decepticon’s keyboard keys is long and sleekly:

Probably cause it’s built with Soundwave’s long and sharp fingers in mind:

pat on the back for the designers who considered this

(Orion Pax trying to type on the Decepticon’s keyboard with his giant wide square fingers)

born to use switches and knobs arranged in a cockpit, each one offering a tactile sensation as you flick it and the mech you're in lurches into action
