I could imagine a real Cybertronian would be about similar to this, difference is they’re made of metal and energon... pretty neat to see something similar in nature like this.

 

Well, we already knew Cybertronians were created by squids  
It's an interesting analogy. You could argue that the skeleton and muscles of a transformer have to be very flexible and yet very sturdy to be able to change shape and hold that shape.
I can see the comparison.

 

It always just fascinate me to see something from sci-fi being plausible when you witness nature. Here’s another clip which inspired me to share this. It’s just amazing that the octopus literally changes its texture (changes its form/shape shifts) to adapt to its environment.
