Are there any aliens that have a non hostile view towards cybertronians?
i literally winced when i read this hahaaaaaaa um. none? not because Cybertron is particularly hated, but because there aren't any aliens around who they know/have relations with. to quote this post:
Cybertron is isolationist, which is a good thing because their society is wildly xenophobic and organiphobic. No other petty species could possibly compare to them and their grand function divinely ordained! It’s been many megavorns since Cybertron has had confirmed contact with alien life, and even longer since it’s had diplomatic relations. They don’t know of any other species around their space currently, and they don’t care to know. Anything taught about xenospecies or organics is always done with a heavily condescending bent.
so the list of friends and enemies on alien planets is just nonexistent, at least that they know of
however
they did have contact with other species in their history! that much is plain in their records. the functionist dream might be to claim Cybertron never had dirty organics come to visit (apart from the rare deposits of fossil fuels or myths about demons and Dire Wraiths), but that's just not true. according to longstanding records put down prior to the invention of functionism (which was ~4.347.865 vorns prior to the beginning of SNAP, which is 360.872.795 Earth years), Cybertron had positive diplomatic relations with Nebulans, Gorlamites and Voin; had encountered the Vok, Akalouthans, Elonians, and Eurythmans; and at least knew of Quintessons and Prysmosians. these were all at varying times, hundreds of millions or even billions of years ago, and contact across solar systems is harder than you might think, so it's perfectly likely all these species have just... gone extinct. they don't know, and with Cybertron's current cultural climate, few people care to know. spacers out in the black keep an optic out, though, but no one has seen anything from an alien species in a very long time
regardless, the records of aliens are well documented. in fact, Exhaust teaches an optional class on historical xenorelations. Skyfire teaches xenobiology, which is less about people groups and more about science, as there are nonsapient organic species native to and flourishing on Eukaris alongside the cyberflora and fauna, and a few scattered organic ecologies on Carcer and Caminus. there are some exotic menageries in big cities elsewhere that keep organic species. Iacon has an organic-only zoo with transplanted biomes from the colonies, along with some preserved Nebulan and Voinish species. (the zoos only keep plants and animals, not people, don't worry). as you might imagine, the domestication and hobby breeding projects when working with organic species over millions of years get quite convoluted and fascinating

Say hello to Erica Thomas! Also known as Exhaust.
She was born and raised in London, England. At the age of 17, she decided to transition to who she is now. Earlier in life at 7, however, her Outlier ability awoke as an ability to manifest as smoke. Thankfully, her family was on that and she was able to hide the fact she was an Outlier from the government. She even managed to score placement in computer sciences in school!
And then she got arrested for hacking at 26. All that time escaping notice for her innate ability only to slip up in a hacking job and get caught.
While very unpleasant, it wasn't so bad as a company with strong financial ties to the government called Marlboor Dynamic made her an offer she couldn't refuse.
And that wasn't the only connection from her time there. She heard some very interesting info that she was pretty sure the people up top wouldn't like.
When time came around, she was quite ready to become a Decepticon.
(After becoming a Decepticon, she finds the music of C Shadow and really gets into their archive. Strangely, she heard a very familiar style coming from the medic area. With some sleuthing, she finds out the true identity of C Shadow and reaches out to him. Just because they're members of a rebellion doesn't mean they can't make a name for themselves outside of it.)

Delaware & Hudson
Me, Digital, May 2022
Look at these smokin' hot locos, throwing black plumes of diesel exhaust into the air, while i'm singing, "Don't waste your time on me, you're already the voice inside my head". These Delaware and Hudson ALCO PAs were inspired by a few 1970s photographs by John F. Bjorklund in the archives of the CRP&A.
