Lubricant

"Sloppiness is bad, cleanliness is good!" This article may require cleanup to meet the quality standards of Transformers Wiki. Please discuss this issue on the talk page or append this tag with a more specific message.

Lubricant is a darkish black fluid contained within the body of a Transformer that is (presumably) used to make the mechanical joints of a transformer move more smoothly.

It appears to be offensive to transformers to "leak lubricant" on them, as implied by Ironhide's near willingness to turn Sam's dog Mojo into a smouldering crater just by peeing on him. Although it is offensive to lubricate transformers, it is not seen as offensive (to the transformers) to leak lubricant on humans; especially if said human kidnapped and insulted (among other things) the owner of the only known way to locate the lifeforce of the entire transformer race.
