Cyber-sleeve
Cyber-sleeves are mysterious devices bestowed on humans by the Emberstone, forming an empathic bond between the human wearing it and the Transformers the stone also creates. They take the form of a flexible metallic sleeve covering the human's arm and hand, with a light on the back of the hand which glows when an exceptionally powerful emotion is passed on.

When Robby and Mo Malto grabbed the Emberstone, it restrained their hands with green energy which reformed into their cyber-sleeves. Once Twitch and Thrash were created, the two kids quickly realized that the cyber-sleeves were letting them feel the Bots' emotional states. When Robby and Twitch touched their hands together, the interaction caused a blinding light.

After Twitch and Thrash were abducted by Mandroid, Mo and Robby were able to sense which direction their emotions were coming from, leading the rescue team to Mandroid's base. Secret Legacy, Part 2

Traditions As Twitch and Thrash's energy began to deplete, their increasing mechanical malfunctions began leaking through the link to Robby and Mo, causing the two kids to physically flail about.
