Put that thing away!

The tongue is a part of Transformer anatomy sometimes found inside the mouth. Though Transformer tongues seem similar in structure and appearance to the tongues of humans, what function they serve on Transformers is uncertain. Though considering that Transformers appear to speak just like humans, using what appear to be lips and teeth to form phonemes, it's possible the Transformers who have tongues use them to help form those sounds. Whether Transformers also use tongues to taste, as humans do, is unknown. Or maybe they serve no purpose and somebody built them crazy.

The only medium which avoided Transformer tongues entirely was the original cartoon, in which the inside of the mouth was depicted as a solid dark gray. In all other media, the appearance of tongues varied between artists (such as in Marvel Comics).
