Cyber Key
| This article is about personal power-up energy storage devices. For the four mystical objects, see Cyber Planet Key. |
- Cyber Keys are personal devices in the Cybertron portion of the Unicron Trilogy.
Cyber Keys are devices that give Transformers power-up abilities. Each one contains a fragment of the power of a Cyber Planet Key. A Transformer can use one to boost their abilities for a duration of time before the Cyber Key has to recharge itself.

Toys
Cybertron
Just about every single toy came with at least one key, the only real exceptions being the Mini-Cons. In the US, the keys had codes printed on the back for an interactive feature on Hasbro’s Transformers toy website. Takara’s website did not incorporate this feature however, leaving the Japanese Galaxy Force keys (referred to in Galaxy Force as "Force Chips" along with the greater "Planet Force") without the code tampo. The toy packaging refers to all keys as Cyber Planet Keys. This differs from the cartoon which only refers to the four colony keys as Cyber Planet Keys, and the other, everyday keys as simply Cyber Keys.
Other toylines
Cyber Planet Keys (most often simply called "Keys") were included in later toylines with toys that were redecos from the Cyberton line. There is presumably no cosmic technology underlying them. Examples include the BotCon 2006 exclusive Timelines promo toys, which came with Golden Disk keys, and several Movie toys that featured Sector Seven keys.
Trivia
- Brushguard is of the opinion that Cyber Keys are more powerful than Energon chips. Force of Habit
