While the show will use English words for big important text (mainly in the service of comedy), virtually all the background text on store signs and computer screens is replaced with a new set of made-up symbols (seen at right), done mainly to accommodate the fact that it was simultaneously released in multiple languages in multiple markets. These characters map to the standard ABCs (numbers are kept normal) and the text translates to standard English... usually. Occasionally it's gibberish, and sometimes severely typo'd English. In a new twist however, there are separate symbols for capital and lowercase letters.
			** Aside from the main cypher, there are two other types of font used in the show, but much more sparingly; a "handwritten" script and a "tech" script. Neither of these make enough appearances to properly figure out how they translate to English, or if they even ''do''. There is also the occasional piece of background "text" that is meant to ''kinda look'' like a word without actually ''being'' that word.
			** And in the act of truest irony, this ''comedy'' show does ''not'' use the cypher text to hide in-jokes and references, unlike more or less every other ''Transformers'' cartoon to feature a coded print language. Every piece of non-gibberish text is pretty straightforward stuff.
