   Summary

   This is a compilation of fanon and canon terms used across Transformers franchises! Culture, Anatomy, Government; pretty much anything I've come across and create in my own works. This will be continuously added and updated as long as I'm writing Transformers fic.

   This is great if you're looking to expand your Transformers terminology or looking for things to add! Suggestions for additions are welcome as well.

   I'll be constantly adding to this, so Subscribe or Bookmark to keep updated!

   LATEST UPDATE: 26 new terms have been added to the Anatomy and Function section! + Short hiatus for June of DOOM

   Summary

   A Prime is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to… give or take that one small paracausal nudge.

   Or, that time the Matrix got impatient and stole a truck...

   It's only going to get more and more hazardous to binge all of this:
   ✔️ Optimus Prime being iconically wholesome
   ✔️ Cybertron being an exotic mechanical wonderland
   ✔️ Mystery, adventure, and intrigue
   ✔️ Not so much a slow burn as a long fuse
   ❌ Civil war

   Bookmarker's Notes

   my favourite characterisation of optimus prime of any fic i have read thus far. and it has maths. its like this was specifically designed to make my soul happy.
