Certainly there has to be more they can eat than just Energon.
That would be like having no choice but to eat soy flakes/cubes for the rest of your life.

I'm pretty sure there's different types. Like, it's more of a category than a single food item.

We know cybertonium is part of a balanced Cybertronian breakfast

oh yeah and TFA Blitzwing was an implied cannibal so they probably eat metal?

Energon is just a basic thing for them that can be turned into drinks or other things. Kinda like flour can be turned into different things. They just aren't many variations for them. Dunno if they just don't care or war prevented them from experimenting new food ideas. It's really is more of a luxury thing.
Insecticons can eat any material and convert them into energon in G1.
In IDW they are cannibals. Decepticons even have a device to slowly peel away at organic bodies and convert it into energon. Wheelie had a similar device but less gruesome.

Energon is the result of various sources of energy they render down into whatever that pink shit is, and that pink shit is energon itself. I'd assume, going by stuff that has been said over the course of the franchise, that different energy sources flavor the resulting energon in some way, and certain kinds have affects similar to alcohol.
See: G1 with Megs and crew getting fucking hammered.

If they only needed one type of fuel they would not get bored of it. Humans need varied diet so we want different things. Plus seeing how they have bars and drinks they definitely have something that functions like flavors.

Such is the price of having immortality and built-in weapons.
Those must be some big pockies
