Each Transformer has a unique identifying[citation needed] energy signature. That energy signature can usually be used to identify someone's faction. Certain substances or devices can mask a Transformer's energy signature from detection. The type of energy is unknown, possibly infared.[1]

Drones have energy signatures[citation needed], so an energy signature is not the same thing as a resonant spark signature.

  1. In the Beast Wars cartoon episode Coming of the Fuzors, the Predacon security system identifies Dinobot's 'Maximal infared signature.' It's unclear whether this is the same as an energy signature or the computer was simply programmed to recognize the infared 'fingerprint' of every known Maximals.
