I would just like to point out that, if we were looking at "realistic" alien robots, none of the Transformers would have eyes. Or mouths. Shockwave gets along perfectly well without a mouth or seperate eyes, and they can see in their vehicle modes so their "eyes" aren't visible, ergo they must not need them.

Like what you like and all, but you're kind of fighting a losing battle as far as "nonsensically human characteristics" on a robot go. They're already nonsensically human in the shows themselves.

Eh. I've always just assumed that whatever level of human characteristics a TF exhibited depended on their comfort level and their need/want to blend in to an certain extent like their car forms. I.e. I think they can adopt certain characteristics to make the humans around them more comfortable--humans like eye contact so let's have eyes in our robot forms is the reasoning. I mean they aren't going to blend as such as a human but I think they adopt certain traits to make them seem more trustworthy--it's not like body language websites don't exist and don't talk about how to make humans trust each other (and lack of eye contact is generally assumed to be dishonesty, etc.). It is our planet after all, and not theirs.

...but a lot of them still had the two eyes and mouth in the Cybertron flashbacks in G1, never mind series like Animated or Prime. That kind of implies that it's one of their defaults, or an individual choice at least.
