The Fiction section is a good start. The alphabet section, though.... The information is important, but as it is presented, it makes it seem like all there is to Cybertronian language is a different script. In fact, in many of the uses of these scripts (e.g. on the WfC:Siege boxes), the language is in fact English. Part of me wonders if this section should be split off; the rest of me wants a note to the effect that these are Cybertronian alphabets, used to write various languages, both human and Transformer. (I also have a bit of a pet peeve that these alphabets have a one to one correspondence to that used in English, but that's not something we can change. Odds are that any alien script would not correspond like that, as few if any other human scripts do so.) Waverod ✈️ (talk) 17:57, 3 November 2021 (EDT)

There's never been a serious attempt at constructing a Cybertronian language that isn't just a vehicle for nerd jokes, though. Grum (talk) 20:13, 3 November 2021 (EDT)
