Description
Description:
This is a basic overview of Transformer anatomy as dictated in canon and expanded upon by me. Some things are actually named or defined by me, while others are canon terms and information. I am borrowing a CG render of movie Optimus Prime from Hasbro to help illustrate the anatomy being pointed out in this file, but only as a secondary aide to the information I have written here. Much of this information is expanded upon in the info files I have already posted in my gallery. I simply wanted to offer this as a visual aide for those who are uncertain of what is where on a Transformer chassis. Contrary to TFA calling EVERYTHING on a Transformer's body a "Servo" (short for Servomechanism which is a motorized joint), their hands should not be called Servos, they are Dactyls (real world term), and their feet are Peds (real world term), not bases (bases are immobile bottoms of structures such as columns or a location such as a military base). **winks**
If anyone wants to see what I actually started with to make these files, have a look at the following links below:

Meanwhile you researched,everything for hours and days,you type all of this.Others are just looking on some random images,most with fake anatomies.I love how most of the fandom,they say at the hands "servos" and the fingers "Digits",which is obviously making an non-sense.You deserve everything on this world,I swear.

Can you expand on the term 'Dactyls'? I understand why we shouldn't call them a servomechanism but I fear you lost me with the other word. And the definition online isn't helping me understand better. What do you think their 'fingers' are called then?
Also, do you think their 'tanks', equivalent to stomachs I suppose, are under the...'torso struts'? I mean, the energon has to go somewhere?

I put together a Transformers Vernacular sheet that has more information than what is presented here, and the term is better explained in that list.
The tanks would be under the heat exchange bellows (lungs) on either side, and their fluid filter system (kidneys) would be just behind and below that, also on either side.
Hope that helps.

Oh dear God/Primus! Confirmed Hatchet influence?! And here I was thinking he couldn't reach us. XD
If you're channeling him should I just go ahead and build a shrine? Cause I don't want to be possessed.

No not really it is I like to find things out that I never knew so I can argue with people about things and also it helps with creating an image of each cybertronian.

Your picture.
It makes so much sense. ;o;
Everything else, like wiki pages, make it so wordy and hard to pinpoint.
I dun care if this isn't canon - I'ma use it (not directly copied, of course - that'd be rude) to help me write, kay?
Unless you say no. >> In which case I'll improvise.

Actually, most of it is canon which I have expanded upon. Thank you for asking and no, I don't mind at all if you use this for your stories. **smiles** All I ask is that you give credit where credit is due.

Are you certain you are not an Autobot in disguise? You seem to know far too much about us to be simply a human who researches a wide variety of subjects. Your knowledge base is significantly broader and more extensive than most humans who are double your own chronological age.
