Transformers Mega-Glossary

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

Chapter 1: Introduction and Author's Notes

Chapter Text

Hello! Thank you for checking out this mega-glossary I've put together for Ghosts of Cybertron and other works I've done in the Transformers franchise! 

Firstly, this is NOT, by any means, an authoritative source on every term or concept used in Transformers canon/fanon. This is me compiling terminology I've seen used across fanon, terminology commonly used across canon, and terminology I've created for my own works. There will be some things you've never seen and some things you've read a million times. The goal is to catalogue as much as I possibly can, so that others have a document to use with their own fanfic. 

That being said, please feel free to use as much of this as you want! If this helps you out in any way, let others know. Credit where credit is due (where you found it, as some of these terms were 100% created by me).

Also, any suggestions are welcome! I use a labeling system (C - Canon, F - Fanon, OT - original term, + - combo, ? - unknown origin) that is usually based on what I've seen and my best guess. The franchise is huge and there's a good chance you've seen something somewhere that is different from the label I've given it. Let me know if you do! I'd love to have little sections under definitions that credits users who helped me out.

Hope this helps!
