May We Get Some Headcanons About Bots And Dancing, Please? Do Autobots Dance With And/or Without Partner?

May we get some headcanons about bots and dancing, please? Do Autobots dance with and/or without partner? How good they are? Music they dance to? etc.

Yes, you may! Headcanons beneath the cut, my friend- decided to include most of the cast, too <3

Optimus Prime: He’s really good at pole dancing... Don’t ask. He got drunk while him, Sentinel, and Elita were in the academy and got a little too big for his britches, and they never let him live it down. He’s also good at dancing in general because he’s got some practice in it, but he’s usually too shy to ask anyone to dance with him, so if you want to do it, you have to initiate.

Prowl: He does ballet as a hobby and that’s all he’s really good at in terms of dance, but he’s willing to learn more. Doesn’t really do it in public, though, and isn’t open to it. 

Ratchet: He did some dancing in clubs when he was younger and wasn’t especially good or especially bad at it, but now that he’s older, he isn’t that interested- doesn’t want to be seen dancing or really want to, but he’ll partake in it every once in a while, if someone really urges him to. 

Bumblebee: He’s not especially great or especially bad at it, but Bumblebee loves dancing and has a lot of fun doing it- will do it whenever he has the chance and will drag a partner on the dance floor if they let him no matter what kind of dance it is! 

Bulkhead: Bulkhead has a bit of fun dancing but definitely has to be coerced into it because he’s pretty shy and doesn’t like putting himself out there. He’s not the best at dancing either- he has a hard time being graceful and not wrecking everything when he’s dancing, but he does enjoy it and will happily do it with a partner.

Jazz: He’s not great at waltzes or ballet or anything like that, but he likes dancing to jazz as well as going to the club or small parties at friends’ places and dancing to r&b, hip hop, etc. 

Sentinel Prime: Definitely did some wild partying back in when he was in the Autobot Academy and is great at dancing in club settings but won’t do it now because he thinks it’s unprofessional/unbecoming of a ‘future Magnus’/current Prime. Will dance in a formal setting with a partner to show off his skills.

Ultra Magnus: He’s learned his fair share of waltzes and other kinds of dancing for uppity formal events- it really just comes with being Magnus, but he likes dancing with his s/o too, especially at those sorts of things, as he finds it easy, relaxing, comforting, and romantic. It does make him uncomfortable to dance with anyone else though, and it also makes him uncomfortable to dance to any music that’s not some classical piece or something of the sort. Never bring him to a club.

Megatron: He doesn’t know how to dance and would kind of like to know how just to be able to actually participate at parties and whatnot, but he’s too embarrassed to ask anyone to teach him, so he usually stands on the sidelines and watches everyone else having their fun, claiming that it doesn’t suit him and that’s why he doesn’t want to. He will, however, do a lazy sort of one-step two-step with his lover in a kitchen or in their bedroom to some soft music if asked to or if there’s just music playing and he’s in a particularly romantic mood.

Starscream: Knows the logistics of dancing, but his coordination is horrid and he’s really bad at it- formals, ballets, waltzes, r&b, hip hop, dubstep, clubbing, any form of dancing, he will mess up and everyone will laugh at him. He claims it’s stupid and he’s not interested but really he wants to go dance and have fun like everyone else, he just isn’t good at it.

Blitzwing: The three personalities can all dance, but prefer different types of music/dancing styles; Blitzwing likes classical ballet, Hothead likes thrashing around to heavy metal, and Random is a fan of just vibing to some really good dubstep with a good bass in a crowded club room.

Lugnut: Loves dancing! He’s a lot like Starscream in the sense that he’s actually pretty bad at it and super clumsy because of his build, but he goes out there and has fun- also, he’s getting better with some much needed lessons from Blitzwing!

Shockwave: Doesn’t understand dancing at first nor does he think it’s ‘logical’, per say, so he doesn’t do it much at first, but if his s/o wants him to, he’ll allow them to teach him how to dance and dance with him in private.

Blackarachnia: Outright refuses to dance in her techno-organic form even though she’s actually very good at it from her Autobot Academy/partying days because she’s embarrassed to be seen dancing with the way she looks. Might dance with a very specific person to their music of choice if they’re not judgmental of her.
