Sometimes TransFans use acronyms or abbreviations to refer to certain Transformers series, toylines, episodes, characters, or other elements without having to type out long terms every time. Or sometimes even short terms too.

Also included are some definitions which are not exclusive to Transformers, but may turn up in conversations about Transformers, especially online.

You're welcome.
