It's probably a good thing you've picked such a large alt-mode then, it offers more protection. Especially since you have the urge to pet a lot of the critters I draw out.
The butterfly similarity hit me as well. And I'm glad I was finally able to place a something on them that resembled the antlers of our giant deer. (it's tempting to go and place it on the moosebots I've been drawing all this time, but I'm afraid of the continuity errors)
It was supposed to be laying down with its' legs and hooves all tucked up nice and neat, but the wading definitely fits better. I've been playing with the idea that the opening can iris close, but that would erase some of the recharging behaviors they've been using. Since I'm positive that there's a lot of little life forms they don't want crawling into their engine, they sleep standing up or completely curled up with the openings closed off by their own bodies. And introducing the iris, as logical and desirable it is, would get rid of what I've had in my head for the longest time. *sigh* Decisions, decisions...
That's exactly what happened in my headcanon. What's really sad is that the in-between moosebot was saved ONLY because it was easier to catch than the others. What do you think that nondescript planet/moon/protoplanet Drumlin lives on is for :D I also have in my headcanon that it's a robotic version of malnutrition that killed em off long before their access to energon dried up. Since all I can see are them crashing to the ground with brittle, disintegrating broken wings because they could no longer physically handle what they were designed to do. *is sad because some of them survive their fall, if only for a little while*
