Memory core

Memory cores are the devices which contain the memories of a Transformer.

Fiction

Generation 1 cartoon

Once he began working on Optimus Prime, the Quintesson tasked with reviving the Autobot leader noted that his memory core was still intact, which would go a long toward restoring him. The Return of Optimus Prime, Part 1

Transformers Animated

Memory cores have some protection against a low-level Electromagnetic pulse, but higher level pulses can utterly wipe them, destroying the Transformer's memory. The Thrill of the Hunt

Notes

• Seeing as how Sparks can be transplanted into new bodies without any sort of memory modification, it would indicate some sort of relationship between a Spark and memory core.
