Ugly? You and I look the same!Thundercracker, Transformers: War for Cybertron
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.
Other universes also use numbers to identify body types. For instance, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Wasp and many others are all body type 65356-9292-346.[3]
