Seekers recharge in their alt-modes. Some even taxi around in their asleep. Back when the Decepticon’s Seeker fleet was still whole they would all sleep together in a big room in the Nemesis while in their alt-modes. This was reminiscent of the way they’d all recharge back in Vos. In their towers they’d have several large sleeping rooms and the specific way they were organized varied from tower to tower. When Seekers recharge they breathe out air so if you go into a room with a dozen sleeping ones it’s like going into a wind tunnel. When one Seeker begins to taxi in their sleep the others subconsciously follow suit, so Seekers are used to waking up in unfamiliar locations and just being a-ok with that. The confused grounders who tried to recharge in the nearby quarters occasionally snuck a peak into the Seeker recharge quarters just to see what the weird nose was and then walked in on ten Seekers slowly driving around in circles in their sleep.
When Starscream became the last living Seeker of the fleet aboard the Nemesis he got his own smaller quarters and left behind the communal sleeping room because it was just too empty.
When Seekers recharge in their root mode they always sleep on their stomach because they want their wings to face up into the air so that they can detect their surroundings better via the airflow.
Seekers instinctively grab onto things in their sleep because Seekerlings tend to wander around and leave the sides of their caretakers, so the caretakers evolved to instinctively just reach out and grab whatever is moving near them in their sleep. Starscream loathes recharging next to other mechs because this programming of his results in him instinctively grabbing onto and clinging to the closest living thing next to him. When Starscream was in the medbay he once reached over and grabbed onto Knock Out in his sleep and now KO repeatedly mentions it non-stop.
“Do you remember when you woke up while clinging onto me and my totally sweet finish?”
“Do you want my talons to cling onto your spark chamber?”
