Neuron refractor
- A neuron refractor is a piece of technology from the Aligned continuity family.
A neuron refractor is a large device capable of extracting a Cybertronian's mind and placing it into the brain of a human. The transplanted mind has access to the human's senses, but is incapable of controlling their body. The machine was developed by Knock Out.

Titan Magazines Prime comics
 Plot details for Transformers Comic issue 4.8 follow. |
After developing the device, Knock Out and some Vehicons set it up in Zhejiang Province, China and captured a human worker from a scrap-metal facility to use as a subject. When Optimus Prime came to investigate energon readings, Knock Out used the neuron refractor to zap the Autobot's mind into the human, leaving a metal shell to be fed into the crusher. Optimus, though helpless in the human body, found he could mentally communicate with the host mind, and helped Lin-Che operate the machine. It was thus utilized to return Optimus's mind to his own body in time to punch out Knock Out. The Mind Trap!
Notes
- A puzzle later in the same issue notes that "Optimus has been zapped by a neuron refractor", implying it's a common noun.
