Spectacles

This article is about a character or concept which lacks any official name or designation. For more information, see Help:Nameless.

"Wait 'til Air Raid gets a load of these spectacles!"

Unlike the crude human devices known as glasses, these spectacles are are worn by Transformers, presumably to enhance superior, Cybertronian optical sensors. They are most popular with scientists, but since fashionable Auto-Detailing Designers have sported them, we can assume some bots wear them simply to look cool. Spectacles come in a variety of lens colors, including red (like another type of specs.)

Notes

• In the Animated continuity, Tracks, Perceptor and Scalpel not only share the same fashion sense in optic-wear, but all three have been involved in alterations to external shells, being an Auto-Detailing Designer, a scientist who participated in upgrading Jetfire and Jetstorm, and a medi-bot behind Team Stunticon's disguises, respectively.
• Animation errors result in Trailbreaker appearing like he's wearing spectacles in Divide and Conquer and A Plague of Insecticons.
