Cyber-forcep

Cyberforceps are tools from the cartoon portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

A Cyberforcep is a Transformer surgical tool. Unlike human forceps (tongs for grasping), a cyberforcep is a cutting tool.

A cyberforcep cuts metal by means of an energy discharge, apparently without generating smoke or heat. It is not known what distinguishes this from a laser scalpel; presumably the cutting mechanism used is preferable in some circumstances, though it may simply be an instance of Decepticon vs. Autobot technology.

Fiction

The Transformers cartoon

Megatron appropriated Hook's cyberforceps to remove the Heart of Cybertron from its mount in the Nemesis's power system. Microbots

TransTech

Vector Prime purchased a cyberforcep from Swindle, Swindle and Swindle. Ask Vector Prime

Notes

• The original source material was unclear whether the word "cyberforceps" is plural, like a human forceps, or singular. Ask Vector Prime would eventually refer to him purchasing a single cyberforcep, putting the debate to bed.
