    So would you like to learn their language? It seems a little complex but im pretty sure each symbol is like a letter or number maybe.

    It would be cool, but all I need to know to get around in the universe is: "gra na weep ninny bon!"

    I would imagine that a cybertronion language would be very alien to us and very unlike any earth language. if they have a written language i don't think any of the symbols they would use would correspond with our alphabet at all. and their spoken language might be unspeakable by us.

    Writing the language should be simple enough :D 

    But speaking it may require a more complex vocal system than our organic chords can muster :lol

    I always imagined the Cybertornian alphabet looking like the Glagolitic alphabet.

    Because that shit looks alien!

    One thing's for sure: if they do produce speech sound like us, using air and vocal organs in their mouth instead of just buzzing radio transmissions, then Andrew Wildman's drooling, spitting Cybertronians make more sense that most people give credit for! They need lubricant in their moth to keep in nice and oiled in order not to produce ear bleeding skreeches every time they want to do a vocal stop or a fricative!

    If it was an actual, complete language instead of just a substitution alphabet... No. Then I'd be like one of those people who learns conversational Klingon.

    Learning the language is a little too nerdy. However, I'd love to see more languages period. We aren't just talking the various city-states' languages, but what the ancient Transformers spoke and/or wrote.
