Revision as of 02:04, 12 April 2018
If a Transformer needs to restrain another one and more sophisticated means aren't available, they can always fall back on simply tying their enemy/opponent/victim up with energon chains. Energon chains are applied with the aid of a gun which doubles as the chains' generator. If the gun is destroyed, so are the chains.
Fiction
The Transformers cartoon
After defeating them in battle at the Great Falls Megatron had a group of Autobots collected, wrapped up in energon chains and lined up for their executions. Before the Decepticons could fire at their helpless foes, backup arrived in the form of the Dinobots. With the Decepticons busy, Wheeljack made his way to his comrades. He used Sideswipe's flare gun to dry them off and Bluestreak's gun to re-energize them and this made the chains disappear... somehow. Don't ask. S.O.S. Dinobots
G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers
Though not specifically called such, Perceptor seemingly used energon chains to restrain Starscream. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers II #1
2001 Robots in Disguise cartoon
When the Predacons had captured Side Burn, Dark Scream shot him with energon chains. And when Optimus Prime came to rescue his soldier, he too was tied up. Megatron proceeded to beat up his enemy in preparation of killing him but was prevented from doing so because Prowl destroyed the energon chain gun, thus freeing his commander and comrade. Sideburn's Obsession
Beast Era
Comics
After the Tripredacus Council blew up her ship with her onboard for failing a mission and becoming nothing but a liability to them, Descent into Evil Flamewar was presumably held by energon chains upon reactivating while under the questioning of Predacons disguised as Autobots with her constant struggling being nothing more than a fruitless attempt at breaking free. Intimidation Game
After falling into a Predacon ambush, a heavily-damaged Wing Saber was held captive in energon-based bindings by Steelgrave, who even disabled her combat abilities to prevent her from causing any more trouble; this did not stop her from using her wings to slash through her bonds anyway. The Razor's Edge
Games
Transformers Legends
Energon Chains were one means by which Transformers could be trapped. Unlike Energon Nets, chains were able to restrain even the mightiest of warriors. Transformers Legends
