A slide joint couples two members while allowing them linear motion along a single axis relative to one another. In <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Toy" title="Toy">Transformers toys</a>, this motion must sometimes be partly restricted to allow joints to remain in one or more configurations. This restriction is often provided by friction or by a sprung tab that fits into a notch.

When a slide joint allows one member to slide into and be partly or wholly concealed by the other, the joint is said to telescope, after the similar joints of a collapsible <a href="http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Reflector_%28G1%29" title="Reflector (G1)">spyglass</a>.
