With this device, you'll never have to worry about proving your identity to any [[Transcendent Technomorph\|TransTech]] that you meet. Instead, your name and [[universal stream]] of origin—as well as your [[Tech Spec\|personality and abilities]]—will be instantly known to them via a quick scan with their reader. This will eliminate the chance of any miscommunication or awkwardness while introducing yourself.

	The bolts finally did prove useful, however, when the two [[Autobot]]s were chased by [[Malignus (G1)\|the gang member buddies]] of the [[Gutcruncher (G1)\|mech they'd been accused of killing]]. When one of them shot at Jackpot, the shot struck the middle of Jackpot's ID bolt and ricocheted into a [[Detectas\|police officer]] tailing them, sending the officer crashing to the ground. That started a chain reaction which downed a neon sign and electrocuted the gang members, leaving the two Autobots able to escape.

	Congratulations, [[multiverse\|multiversal]] traveler, you have successfully completed [[Axiom Nexus]] Processing. Your new '''identification bolt''' ('''ID bolt''' for short, sometimes also '''tracking/tracker bolt''', but don't take the connotations of that the wrong way) will help make your stay an efficient and productive one. With this device, you'll never have to worry about proving your identity to any [[Transcendent Technomorph\|TransTech]] that you meet. Instead, your name and [[universal stream]] of origin—as well as your [[Tech Spec\|personality and abilities]]—will be instantly known to them via a quick scan with their reader. This will eliminate the chance of any miscommunication or awkwardness while introducing yourself.

This will eliminate the chance of any miscommunication or awkwardness while introducing yourself.

	Since only TransTechs have the capability to read the ID bolts, we also will assign you a handy '''identification card''' that conveys the same information to any fellow [[offworlder]]s you may meet in your travels. If you meet any [[Swindle, Swindle and Swindle\|offworlders who claim to be able to read the ID bolts]], please report them to the [[Axiom Nexus Security Administration]], as their miscommunication and/or misuse of advanced technology may be potentially hazardous to themselves and the people around them.

	When you finally leave Axiom Nexus, your identification bolt will be removed by an [[Cheetor (TransTech)\|appointed]] [[Stungun (TransTech)\|officer]]. Please do not attempt removal on your own! The bolt is designed to reattach itself to another part of your body if it or the body part it's attached to is removed, to help avoid accidental misplacement of the device and resulting identity loss.

	At a later time, several displaced [[G1 GoBots\|GoBots]] found themselves going through their own dealings with Processing, with [[Bad Boy]] being especially not happy with the thought of getting an ID Bolt placed on him. In response to his protests, the medic installing it admitted that the bolts were for the TransTech's security, and explained how the bolts could only be removed by a spark transplant or special TransTech equipment.

	[[Treds]] and Bad Boy later brought up the ID bolts as a bargaining chip with [[Swindle (G1)\|Swindle]], pointing out that Swindle could get in big trouble for dealing with Bug Bite, since he had sneaked out of Processing without getting tagged with a bolt, and Swindle's refit would further disguise him.

	Eventually, after finding a way to circumvent the TransTechs refusing to grant them leave from Axiom Nexus, the GoBots also took advantage of [[Stungun (TransTech)\|Stungun]]'s ID bolt remover conveniently going missing in a place where the GoBots could find it. {{storylink\|Withered Hope}}		Eventually, after finding a way to circumvent the TransTechs refusing to grant them leave from Axiom Nexus, the GoBots also took advantage of [[Stungun (TransTech)\|Stungun]]'s ID bolt remover conveniently going missing in a place where the GoBots could find it. {{storylink\|Withered Hope}}

	Meanwhile, yet another set of travelers—[[Landquake (Timelines)\|Landquake]], [[Skyfall (Cybertron)\|Skyfall]], and [[Breakaway (Classics)\|Breakaway]]—received their own ID bolts from Processing, though much like Bad Boy they felt considerably ill at ease about them. Their guide, [[Alpha Trion (SG)\|Alpha Trion]], told them they would soon get used to the ID bolts. {{storylink\|Transcendent: Part 1}}		Meanwhile, yet another set of travelers—[[Landquake (Timelines)\|Landquake]], [[Skyfall (Cybertron)\|Skyfall]], and [[Breakaway (Classics)\|Breakaway]]—received their own ID bolts from Processing, though much like Bad Boy they felt considerably ill at ease about them.

	Once they were out of TransTech audioshot, however, a very different reality showed itself. Trion claimed that the TransTechs were dangerous oppressors, {{storylink\|Transcendent: Part 2}} and he was using the [[spark]]-swapping abilities of his technician [[Topspin (Classics)\|Topspin]] to move his followers from their old [[lowtech]] bodies to TransTech bodies—partly as a means of infiltration, and partly as a way to evade the ID bolts. {{storylink\|Transcendent: Part 3}}		Once they were out of TransTech audioshot, however, a very different reality showed itself.

	One of the unfortunate victims of the swapping was the former [[RoboCo]] CEO [[Bulletbike (TransTech)\|Bulletbike]]. He found himself mysteriously trapped one day in the lowtech body of one of his [[Bulletbike (G2)\|multiversal counterparts]].

	During his quest to find out what had happened to him, he received a scan from the proprietors of [[Swindle, Swindle and Swindle]]. They couldn't find any evidence of a spark transfer, but they did note that his ID bolt identified him as ''a'' Bulletbike, albeit one from [[Primax 095.0 Beta]]. When Bulletbike countered that they were lying, since offworlders couldn't read the bolts, the Swindles told him to not be so naive.

	Later, Bulletbike tried to pass himself off to the [[C-Kar Technologies]] CEO [[Ego]] as "Wildfly", an employee in the R&D section of RoboCo. Ego initially played along, but eventually confronted Bulletbike with the fact that Bulletbike's ID bolt revealed he was lying. Unfortunately, that reveal just led to bigger problems... {{storylink\|I, Lowtech}}		Later, Bulletbike tried to pass himself off to the [[C-Kar Technologies]] CEO [[Ego]] as "Wildfly", an employee in the R&D section of RoboCo.
