Don't worry, Wheeljack is only resting.

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]
