	If a [[Transformer]] needs to restrain another one and more sophisticated means aren't available, they can always fall back on simply tying up their enemy/opponent/victim with '''[[energon]] chains'''. Energon chains are ~~sometimes~~ applied with the aid of a gun which doubles as the chains' generator. If the gun is destroyed, so are the chains.
