Consider the following advantages to laying on the floor;

• People generally don’t interrupt you
• Some mecha have really goddamn unfairly attractive pedes
• Smooth floor, cool floor, soothe my aching spark
• Grab someone’s ankle joint to scare them if they don’t see you

• Rodent hiding places at optic level
• People tend to respond to otherworldly screams from floor level by leaping comically high into the air
• ‘Accidentally’ see up under skirting panels 
• If people accidentally step on you they feel bad and bring you energon
• Increases one’s Mystery if done right
• Is Dramatic when well accompanied with sound and/or staring
