Primary system program transfer

Primary system program transfers are Cybertronian biological procedures from Universe.

The trick is that this has to be done at exactly the same moment, or otherwise one of the bodies will have to store too much information, causing the neural net to crash and both personalities to be wiped out. Of course, since some Transformers have shown to be capable of possessing multiple personalities, the importance of precise timing might differ depending on the individuals involved.
