Cybertronian Dictionary for Dummies

Outer Body Parts

Welcome to my dictionary!

Chapters will be published every 3-6 days or possibly 1-2 weeks!

My mission is to have all Transformer fans see the complicity of their favorite Transformers and learn from them not only from the outside, but on the inside as well!

Enjoy!

Optics: noun: 1. glowing round orbs that allow the Cybertronian to see. (See Prime Optimus Prime)
2. shaped as a parallelogram. (See G1 Optimus Prime) *Colors include for both definitions: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, pink, and purple, exc..*

Enstril: noun: various plating that overlaps and forms a "nose", allowing two, small tunnels to the olfactory sensors, allowing the Cybertronian to smell. *Not all Cybertronians have this feature* (See Movie Transformers) (See next chapter for olfactory sensors)

Intake: noun: a metal tube starting at the derma and ending at the tank, allowing Energon to flow to their tanks for food. (See next definition for derma and chapter for tanks)

Derma: noun: a hole on the faceplate and under the enstril that flexes to allow an opening and closing for forming words.

Glossa: noun: flexible metal inside the derma to help form words. ((I don't believe Cybertronians should have this part because the voice box does the talking, but you can use it))

Mouthplate: noun: a retractable metal mask shielding the derma. (See Optimus Prime)

Neckcables: noun: exposed wiring between the frame and the helm. It connects the helm to the frame and the brain module to control various parts throughout the frame, like the "nervous system". (See Prime Optimus Prime)
