	Transformers toys use several standard peg and hole sizes. In recent years, a [[~~5mm~~ post\|5-millimeter diameter]] has been particularly common, to allow for interchangeability of accessories between toys. The [[Mini-Con]] [[Powerlinx]] "hardpoints" of ''[[Transformers: Armada (franchise)\|Armada]]'' and later lines are 5-millimeter pegs with a 2-millimeter hole drilled in the center; on "live" hardpoints, the hole has a tiny plastic "trigger" peg inside that activates a spring-loaded [[gimmick]] when pushed down by the peg within a Mini-Con's Powerlinx socket.

This can also refer to other types of connectors, such as [[C joint]]s, but pegs are still the most common type.

	Many components and accessories of [[Toy\|Transformers toys]] must have a way to temporarily attach to each other, and the means used must be simple, cheap, and easily detachable. Very often the chosen solution is a friction '''peg''' and '''peghole'''. Weapon handles and the fist holes they plug into are often made this way.
