Tigertron and maybe others such as
Airrazor could easily fit into Hindu Mythology (and the delivery of Martial Arts philosophies to China) as a lesser advertised friendly/helper spirit at the Hindu peasant or worker castes (or warrior-poet/soldier-scholar 'domains').The Wolf and Dog Maximals (
K-9 and Wolfgang?) could be helper spirits (sometimes even misunderstood or feared) all the way across Europe into England (and especialy in Early Germania) and from there all the way across to Colonial America and Canada.
Rattrap could again appear in Hinduism as a Rat deity of the value of life, if not direct reincarnation,since as a Maximal,he may actively help Humans and therefore unwittingly promote the values transferred into the Maximals by Optimus Primal into Human society, together with initial concepts on reincarnation via either his Transmetalization,his memories (and stories he therefore tells about) his Protoform,or some later developed capability to actually switch Beast /AltModes on his own.
No way
Cheetor,Optimus Minor,The Hyena-bot and many others can't be warrior-values spirits
at leastin central and Southern Africa.
Rhinox is one amongst many who could influence pre-to-early Egyptian North Africa,Asia Minor,Southeastern Europe and maybe parts of Asia as well as Southern Africa.Pity he becomes a baddie in Beast Machines.
Maybe a (
very) pre-Human flight technology version of
Sky-Lynx as the Dreamtime Serpent/Rainbow Serpent?
