Body-type

A body-type or model is the basic design of a Transformer's chassis. The design can be shared with other Transformers, either with or without individualizing customizations.

In some universes, upgrading or refitting a Transformer from one body-type to another can be a lucrative black market business. Individual body-types have identifying model numbers. For example, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, and Bug Bite have all, in one Primax Cluster universe or another, inhabited a "C1186-P0019" of various colors. That model is reportedly popular with scouts.

Other universes also use numbers to identify body types. For instance, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Wasp and many others are all body type 65356-9292-346.

Body-types are particularly common in the Transformers toy lines, where many redecos are marketed as separate characters. This article puts its focus on body-types with relevance in fiction and other outstanding qualities. Because otherwise, this list could go on forever.
