===Tau Empire===
Cybertronian/Tau interactions are... well, they're better than Cybertronian/Imperium interactions. But that's a bit like saying a broken toe is better than an amputated foot. Many Autobots have a great deal of hope for the Tau, but interactions with them are still often stifling, awkward and prone to backfiring. The Tau tend to assume an ironically Eldar-like arrogance in such meetings, seemingly being incapable as a whole of thinking of the Cybertronians as being any different to the drones they already use for mundane and dangerous tasks. Individual Tau can be an exception, especially amongst the Fire Caste, who have learned very pointedly that no drone could hope to match the processing complexity of a Cybertronian warrior and found them to be honourable and worthy allies, but as a whole, the Tau have a strong tendency to put their foot in their mouths by either dismissively assuming the Cybertronians are inferiors due to their cybernetic nature, or by proselytizing to the extent that even the Autobots - who already hold a belief roughly similar to the [[Greater Good]] - are annoyed by it. The Decepticons, in particular, tend to find the Tau warriors respectable, but the race as a whole as irritating.
