A body-type<ref>Term yanked from "Withered Hope", as is the information from the rest of the introductory paragraphs.</ref> or model<ref>Term used in "Autoboot Camp" and "This Is Why I Hate Machines".</ref> is the basic design of a Transformer's chassis. The design can be shared with other Transformers, either with or without individualizing customizations.
In some universes, upgrading or refitting a Transformer from one body-type to another can be a lucrative black market business. Individual body-types have identifying model numbers. For example, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, and Bug Bite have all, in one Primax Cluster universe or another, inhabited a "C1186-P0019" of various colors. That model is reportedly popular with scouts.
Other universes also use numbers to identify body types. For instance, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Wasp, and many others are all body type 65356-9292-346.<ref>As shown in The AllSpark Almanac II.</ref>
Body-types are particularly common in the Transformers toy lines, where many redecos are marketed as separate characters.<ref>This only applies to different-character toys based on the same sculpt that exist in the same universe. Redeco characters released under a line that places the new character in a different universe than other iterations of the sculpt are arguably cosmic coincidences.</ref> This article puts its focus on body-types with relevance in fiction and other outstanding qualities. Because otherwise, this list could go on forever.

[edit]- Cliffjumper and Tailgate, who were both Arcee's partners, shared the same body type, only different in their color scheme. Maybe Arcee has a type.
- Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus shared a body type with minor differences before Optimus got reformatted. While Optimus was brainwashed into Megatron's service, he encountered his own file, illustrated with the schematics of what would later be revealed to be Ultra Magnus' body.
