Jadewing chuckled. "You're not the only one who thinks citybots are a bit ridiculous," he says. "Though to be fair, they're not whole cities. Really they're more small- by Cybertronian standards- mobile bases that just happen to be sparked and sentient. But 'small mobile base bots' doesn't really have the same ring to it. Cybertronians my size can and do live in them though, when they're in base form. Which is... sort of creepy if you think about it too hard, so we try not to."

"As for the rest of us being ridiculous," he shrugged, "that's a matter of perspective. There are still Cybertronians who'll argue that considering any organic truly sentient is ridiculous. Some take it further than that, even and claim that Cybertronians are the only beings in the universe who can be considered truly sentient, because we're the only ones that have sparks." Which Sam could probably guess, had been an excuse for much prejudice and harm perpetrated by Cybertronians over the millenia.

The explanation of the long sacre got another chuckle out of Jadewing. "I'll have to remember that one," he said. "'Frag' is similarly versatile among Cybertronians, and its base meaning is about the same."
