Description
I see red, I see strength. I see blue, I see hope. I see yellow, I see calm. I see green, I see health. I see orange, I see dreams. I see purple, I see me.I see white, I see none.
In Transformers Meta, optics have a system that rose to prominence in the early days of the war. Following their respective leaders, the Autobots adopted the principles of blue whilst the Decepticons took the principles of red. Medics on both side dedicated themselves to green, and the Neutrals who wanted nothing to do with the battle opted for yellow. Purple and orange dotted about here and there, and white we hope never to see in someone's eyes.
It proved useful, actually, in both helping establishing a character's personality and adding extra colours to a roster, which is always nice when considering the characters you make, write and doodle.
Should have uploaded something like this a lot sooner, but eh, better now than never.

If a neutral character becomes ardently Autobot and gains a lot of compassion and charisma in the process, will his optics turn blue?

An excellent question, but no, if a Neutral joins a faction, their eyes will remain yellow throughout it. It's part of the distinction, to inform others of their past and to keep a bit of the past close to home. Soundwave is the prime example of a character who maintains yellow even though another colour might suit him better.
However, eye colour can still vary somewhat; perhaps an Autobot neutral has exceptionally bright yellow, a bit closer to blue's side, whereas a Decepticon neutral has a darker more red/orange-like yellow to them.

Similar concept, the whole colour = theme theme, and I found it served me quite well in considering these characters

I actually didn't know about a couple of the colors, particularly white and orange.

Orange is pretty rare these days, since most robots happy to work a faction. White? White better stay rare, shit.

Thank you; it's proven useful in helping to finalise robot concepts
