	Lightpipes used in ''Transformers'' toys are made from clear plastic. Light entering the plastic is partly reflected from its polished outer surfaces, and travels through the plastic, to be diffused and emitted elsewhere.

	Often such lightpipes have been built into the toys' heads, leaving the clear plastic exposed for the figure's eyes, and in a less noticeable area such as the back or top of the head. Ambient light is conducted to the eyes, lighting them up against the darker face, and the figure's eyes appear to glow.

	This effect is also used in toys such as [[Optimus Prime (G1) toys#Generation 2\|Laser Optimus Prime]] in which a light source hidden inside part of the toy internally illuminates a clear-plastic weapon. Gnarly!

	The use of passive lightpipes in figures' eyes dates back to the European [[Generation 1 (toyline)\|''Generation 1'' toyline]], first utilized by the [[Turbomaster (subgroup)\|Turbomasters]] and [[Predator]]s.

A '''lightpipe''' is, appropriately, a conductor for light.

Lightpipes used in [[Transformer]]s toys are made from clear plastic. Light entering the plastic is partly reflected from its polished outer surfaces, and travels through the plastic, to be diffused and emitted elsewhere.

Often such lightpipes have been built into the toys' heads, leaving the clear plastic exposed for the figure's eyes, and in a less noticeable area such as the back or top of the head. Ambient light is conducted to the eyes, lighting them up against the darker face, and the figure's eyes appear to glow.

This effect is also used in toys such as [[Optimus Prime (G1)|Laser Optimus Prime]] in which a light source hidden inside part of the toy internally illuminates a clear-plastic weapon. Gnarly!
