Yeah, lol, my agonising over this is not doing favours to my writer's block. I honestly feel like there's a whole 'nother post I could write about the methods of sociology as they apply to Cybertron, because the social theory gets way complicated when you realise that there are no true binaries anywhere, and categories like heavy vs light, labour vs management, even low-caste vs high-caste are often defined in relationship to each other, which means what the actual demographics you're talking about come down to how much you wanna anthropomorphise :'DD

I think the biggest generalisation you can make is that you can't attribute the qualities of a group to an individual, even while you can use an individual to read a group, and that values are communal rather than categorical, but these are also true for humans |D And similarly, I think I could theoretically define a set of physical qualities and be like "100% of mecha have 90% of these qualities" and have it be kinda-sorta in the ballpark of not being horribly offensive.
