In [[Transcendent Technomorph|some universes]], upgrading or refitting a Transformer from one body-type to another can be a [[Swindle, Swindle and Swindle|lucrative black market business]].

For example, [[Bumblebee (G1)|Bumblebee]], [[Cliffjumper (G1)|Cliffjumper]], and [[Bug Bite (GoBots)|Bug Bite]] have all, in one [[universal stream|Primax Cluster universe]] or another, inhabited a "[[C1186-P0019]]" of various colors.

| This article is about characters sharing a physical model. For toys sharing a physical model, see Redeco. |
At least I'm not ugly.Skywarp
A body-type[1] or model[2] 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.[3]
Body-types are particularly common in the Transformers toy lines, where many redecos are marketed as separate characters.[4] This article puts its focus on body-types with relevance in fiction and other outstanding qualities. Because otherwise, this list could go on forever.
Outstanding examples
Generation 1
"Seeker" type
"Battlecharger" type
"Sideswipe" type
Beast Era
- 9K
- Cheetor (former cadet)

Transformers Animated
Live-Action Movies
In the live action movies we can see several Transformers that shares the same body type:
Long Haul´s Body type
Bonecrusher´s Body type
Scrapper´s Body type
Crankcase Body type
Crowbar Body type
Jetfire Body type
Blackout Body Type
Sideways Body Type
Brawl Body Type

Footnotes
- ↑ Term yanked from "Withered Hope", as is the information from the rest of the introductory paragraphs.
- ↑ Term used in "Autoboot Camp" and "This Is Why I Hate Machines".
- ↑ As shown in The AllSpark Almanac II.
- ↑ 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.
