A Transwarp Drive is used to propel a spacecraft through space and time. They run on a number of small transwarp cells which can also be removed and used individually on smaller craft such as shuttles and stasis pods.
Each transwarp engine also generates its own transwarp signature that can be used to track its movements or pin down its current location.
Additionally, transwarp shunt technology allows a traveler to move through space and time without a ship. Instead, the traveler simply stands upon a platform to be transported to the desired place and time. The platform is not transported along with he traveler, so if he wishes to return, there must be another transwarp shunt device on the other end, or he must bring along the parts to build one.

As a result of their capability to travel through time, usage of the transwarp drives were heavily regulated by Maximal Command, the ships equipped with the drives being kept at the Great Shipyard. Seeking to travel through time, a group of Predacon separatists stole a warship from the Shipyard, the Maximals redirecting the transwarp-capable exploratory vessel Axalon to intercept. When the two ships came to blows, the Predacons activated their vessel's transwarp drive and escaped through time, being pursued through the time vortex by the Axalon. Savage Landing Part 1
