#definitely can't knock the classics of applying more iconic ''baby-like'' traits to them though

You know the psychological thing called baby schema?

What would be the cybertronian equivalent of that? Whatever it is, it's propably different in bayverse than other continuities because it depends on how their babies look like.

(My take is that transformer babies are big-eyed round colorful blobs, maybe tsum tsum-like or not, and are born tiny. Now that i think about it, TFP scraplets look disturbingly similiar to that)

I had known of it but not under that name!

I like a variety of takes (again for me it depends on what situation/rules I'm working with), and it's always kinda funny to see how it applies to what cybertronians find "cute". I've seen posts about how in certain aus humans ding that "oh, it's like a baby!" button in mecha's brains, but I also find it insanely funny when cybertronians call things cute and humans are completely confused about it. My current favorite is certain devices emitting a similar EM range as sparklings, or just in general inanimate devices mimicking cybertronian EM fields.
