A body-type[1] or model[2] is the basic design of a Transformer's chassis. The design can be shared with other Transformers, either with or without individualizing customizations.
In some universes, upgrading or refitting a Transformer from one body-type to another can be a lucrative black market business. Individual body-types have identifying model numbers. For example, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, and Bug Bite have all, in one Primax Cluster universe or another, inhabited a "C1186-P0019" of various colors. That model is reportedly popular with scouts.
