thinking about how being cogless would affect different types of bots
bots who should have wings whose sense of balance is completely off because their gyros are built for limbs that aren’t there
flyers who cherish the brief moments between shifts when they get to go up, who know in their spark of sparks that the mines are last place they should be in
cassette decks who yearn to have a gaggle of cassettes to care for and nurture and hold safe
cassettes who yearn for a cassette deck to care for them and nurture them and hold them safe
warframes who have to deal with combat coding and targeting systems that constantly demand to be turned on, but lack the parts to use them
beastformers who have to suppress instincts they can’t fully explain, whose senses are far duller than they should be
gestalt members who feel a constant emptiness in the back of their processors, who are social butterflies trying to find the bots who fill that emptiness just a little
triple changers who seem even more diminished than the rest of their cogless kin, frames with gaping holes where kibble should be
outliers who can just barely use their abilities if at all
weaponformers who crave being held, who cling to the bot who, in another life, they would have chosen as their partner
