I will raise your "big bots fighting over poetry" with a "big bots not so subtly flirting with poetry"!
Transformers headcanon:
Optimus, given his past as an archivist, has Opinions on literature and they are VERY STRONG.
He can and will viciously defend his favourite authors. Its the only time he really gets visibly emotional (other than when his Autobots are hurt) and it doesn't matter who you are, if your literary tastes bring bad vibes he will let you know. (And when I say 'viciously' I mean vicious for Optimus. Which would be mildly annoyed on any other mech. He just stares at you, Disapprovingly, before tearing apart whichever work you brought up with references and a bibliography like its his final dissertation for his five year degree.)
Megatron also has very strong literary opinions, mostly on poetry, and occasionally the Autobots and Decepticons will bear witness to their leaders engaging in the most violent bookclub meeting in history.
