Sudden headcanon: Cybertronians are kind of like working dog breeds, in that they don’t do very well if they don’t have a Job. It doesn’t have to technically be important, but they need something to Do. Otherwise, they get very restless and assign themselves new Jobs, or are very confused without any knowledge of what to do if they’ve never had to find a new thing to do.

Additional headcanon: a Cybertronian who has no job or hobby and isn’t looking for one has something very, very wrong with them. Something akin to depression, most likely.
