Program

Programs are the basic code that gives Transformers the instructions and motivation to do their jobs.

Types of programs

Combat programming

Combat programs are programs which allow Transformers to adequately perform in combat situations. Bumblebee maintains that as a repair-bot, he isn't programmed for combat. Fortunately, that doesn't stop him. Transform and Roll Out

Cyber-limbic programming

Swindle, Swindle and Swindle had a Transmetal driver software patch to cyber-limbic programs to deal with uncontrolled outlier abilities. Ask Vector Prime

Humility programming

Humility programs are the basic programs that allow Transformers to feel humility, shame, and a sense of place. Ironhide believes that humility programming is best installed via fists. It's highly unlikely that Optimus Prime would agree with that. The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 2

Personality programming

Personality programs are the programs which set Transformers apart from regular machines. Only Vector Sigma can grant true personality programs to robots. The Key to Vector Sigma, Part 1

Predictive programming

Predictive programs are programs which allow Transformers to predict where shots are going to be fired and where an enemy is likely to strike in combat. Very advanced, they make hitting a Transformer in open space very hard. But not impossible. Ghosts of Yesterday

Timing programming

Timing programs are the programming that modulates the speed at which Transformers speak or react. Sandstorm once asked if there was something wrong with Blurr's timing program, but Kup says that this is the way Blurr was made...frightening. Fight or Flee
