Starscream: "They say that primus gives his hardest battles to his favourites or something like that."
"That's some bullshit cause I be getting the most horrible thing happening to me daily. Like cut me some slack ain't nobody built for that much less me."
"And Thundercracker said to me -well maybe you are primus' favourite-."
"Bro I'm nobody's favourite nobody even loves me do you think primus himself would."
"He must be like Megatron with the oh you're vital and important to me so I'm gonna beat you up to the point you can only imagine me dead, which definitely isn't what's happening to me, cause the only way I'd be a favourite is if it's for entertainment from my pain"
Oh. My. Gosh. Thank you very much.
Considering the last part, by @marsvs-thesun. It's kinda interesting how seekers are usually depicted full of themselves and looking down on everyone. This might be a human writing deal, or maybe flight is such an advantage the closeness to earth is irrelevant.
Or. Or. Maybe, just maybe, it is a side effect of getting overall further from Primus. There is a great inert good, and whoever believes in him is equally inert and inept. So decepticons rise up from the bog. They rise up and leave stagnation (although I think it's mostly because there are a lot of fliers amidst the Cons, but also the phrase doesn't help their case). Nova Prime leads people up and away to spread, and leaves the catacombs of old cities deep below, to allow the population to grow. Being further away from the universal parental figure starts being progress, and while it comes with a cautionary tale, Unicron is only one planet in the wide and wast space. What are the odds? What are the odds of encountering him?
And then a species of organics come around, who pray up and humble themselves by getting to the ground. And they dig into, and fly outto, and they believe in no one god, but in many. That's not that uncommon in the grand scheme of things, but there is a catch. Every one of them so far lives on Unicron. Just under 30 km worth of debris there is metal and dark energon of an ancient transformer god.
Each time the cybertronians pray down, as they do, he gets a wisp of power. Without those wisps Primus stagnated even more. Things start getting odd. Humans get agitated and more chaotic, being at least somewhat attuned to the planet. They found their cautionary tale right underneath their pedes. Whoops?
Also, some continuities have constellations. This would be an interesting point to add to common phrases. Like "that pattern used to look like Logos' sigil" or something, so some of stars get involved and associated with different figures. Maybe prayer down is to Primus, and up is to Primes/other figures.
So we've all heard "By the AllSpark!" or "What in the Pit?" or "Oh Primus" in our TF media. However, I feel like TF writers are missing out on the goldmine that is colloquialisms invoking the different Primes. So, here is a small collection of such colloquialisms, and please, feel free to add more if you have any of your own you use.
"Primus below!" - Exclamation similar to "God above!", invoking the fact that Primus is the core of Cybertron.
"Vector give me patience" - Often paired with "because if Prima gives me strength, I'm going to need bail money." The go-to for when somebot if getting on your last nerves.
"To Alchemist!" - A popular drinking toast, to thank Alchemist Prime for inventing high grade.
"The Three Below" - Refers to Solus, Onyx, and Micronus, the three Primes who formed the Well of AllSparks
"Maximum Blessings on you" - a stealth insult/curse from some dialects, where "Maximum" and "Maximo's" are nearly indistinguishable. As Liege Maximo was the Prime of Lies and Trickery, it's a fitting way to wish someone ill.
“Solus’s slag pit” - Used for something incredible, awful, and incredibly awful. Often used to refer to the latest high society fashion mess.
"Find peace or take it up with the Fallen." - In other words, calm down or screw off.
“As you say, my Liege” - A condescending remark towards a person who’s attempting to lie, cheat or mislead.
Again, if you have any primal colloquialisms you use for your fics, reblog and share them with the rest of us.

look
In the Aligned Continuity books it was make clear that Mirconus and Onyx prime were close. To the point that when Onyx had sacrificed himself to create the well of all-sparks, Mirconus had gone to join him since he couldn't bear to be parted from Onyx. In a way one can ship these two characters, I mean Solus was in a romantic relationship with Megatronus. The brotherhood was more in spirit, and bond between the thirteen primes.
Taking in the fact that Shockwave is Onyx in Idw. And that Mirconus cog was given to B-127, plus the fact that Bumblebee role in many continuities is similar to Mirconus. And that in the Aligned Continuity, Bumblebee was said to be one if not the last spark to be created.
I got the idea that some of the thirteen primes reincarnated, similar to Orion pax. With Bumblebee being Mirconus. It can happen in either that; 1. when it became clear that the planet was becoming ill from dark energon poisoning the it 2. a group of once loyal servants to the primes betrayed then, backstabbing them and leaving then to die at the servos of the Quintessons, with a deal between the backstabbers and the Quintessons. In the hopes of making things right, primrus reincarnates a number of the primes to put an end to it. However they all reincarnate at different times.
Whatever, it be, Onyx either is reincarnated as shockwave a warbuild with a genius brain module. Or in wanting to walk among the new generations of cybertronians, Onyx is able to take a part of himself, including a part of his spark to create an avatar, which is shockwave.
However, whether it be from the Council or other means Shockwave becomes corrupt, losing his emotions, or becoming cold-sparked. Onyx valued nature and life, his avatar is now the opposite, more in line with Quintus prime.
Mirconus prime is reincarnated way later, as B-127; who later takes on the name Goldbug, a cog-less Minicon. However, after the truth is revealed, the government that was in place falls, with two sides emerging; the Autobots and the Decepticons.
In an attempt to infiltrate the Autobots intelligence, Shockwave creates a clone of himself to be a sleeper agent, named Longarm.
Longarm acts logical, someone who sticks to the rules, and is a workaholic. Until, having to work in a group mission on potential Decepticon influence and activity on an organic planet, involving a bot called Goldbug. Who for some reason intrigues him, that their's something magnetic about the bot.
After an accident in which Longarm loses his memory, when first arriving on the planet, Longarm is more friendly, he laughs even.
Goldbug takes on the name Bumblebee, early on, and grows closer to Longarm. Longarm himself gains memories of Shockwave when he was younger, before becoming corrupt.
After, a number of events Longarm finds out he was the one that was leaking intell to the decepticons and that he is in fact a clone. Creating an existential crisis as Longarm finds himself stuck on whether he should go along with a plan that Shockwave has to poison the Autobots, or to try and risk going back to a life he so deeply wants.
Onyx acts as a little voice to Longarm to guide thos part of him to the right path. Which ends in Longarm finding and gaining Onyx mask, and becoming Longarm Prime. Becoming a half-god of ethical science and death. While Bumblebee gains the Chimera Stone when stopping Sentinel prime from attacking the once hidden minicon planet, becoming Goldfire prime.
However, in a last act to see his way, Shockwave steals Vector Sigma in a last ditch effort. He ends up shooting Goldfire, not offlining him, but making his spark immortal. Never to join the well of all-sparks. Never to join death.
Having to be planets apart from Longarm, as they can never be together, thanks to it.
