A continuum approach to quark-antiquark bound-states is used to determine the electromagnetic form factors of pion-like mesons with masses m0-/GeV = 0.14, 0.47, 0.69, 0.83 on a spacelike domain that extends to Q2 ≲ 10 GeV2. The results enable direct comparisons with contemporary lattice-QCD calculations of heavy-pion form factors at large values of momentum transfer and aid in understanding them. Finally, they also reveal, inter alia, that the form factor of the physical pion provides the best opportunity for verification of the factorised hard-scattering formula relevant to this class of exclusive processes and that this capacity diminishes steadily as the meson mass becomes heavier.
