You can learn a lot about society's values by how they treat their dead.
Generation 1
Autobots
The Autobots launch their dead into space. [1]
Decepticons
The Decepticons create markers bearing the likeness of their dead, lit by an eternal flame. Superstitious Decepticons believe a deceased Transformer's spirit may linger near it's marker, and it is bad luck to disturb one.[2]
It is unclear if these mark the place where a Transformers's remains are stores or not, at least two Transformers have markers in two locations.
Beast Era
Predacons
The Predacons recycle their dead with honors. [3]
