I was bored, okay, and the guild seemed slightly inactive. xp But a few people ask about the language of Cybertronians, so I thought it would be cool to make a little thread talking about what word means what in their language. So... yeah. This is what I have so far:

Misc:

Slag-- (Beast Wars/Machines, Animated) Crap, darn, or could be used to say killed, or beaten. (But then you'd be saying slagged)

Servo-- (Animated) Hand.

Units of Time:

Nano-Klick-- (Beast Wars/Machines, Animated) One Earth second.

Cycle-- (Animated) One earth minute.

Megacycle-- (Animated) One Earth hour.

Solarcycle-- (Animated) One Earth day.

Stellarcycle--(Animated) One Earth year.

Decacycle-- (Animated) Ten Earth years/one earth decade.

Orn-- (G1?) ???

Insults:

Glitch head/glitch-- (Animated) Idiot, dunce. (Notice how Sentinel always calls Optimus and his team a bunch of glitches, and how Bumblebee called Sentinel a glitch head once)


That's... all I have so far. Then again, I'm only thinking about Animated right now. sweatdrop So... yeah.

I never really thought it might be necessary. It's almost always fairly easy to figure out from context what they mean.

Well, I've never had problems figuring this out, but it might be useful for new fans who want to learn some of the transformer language. I found the time language especially helpful for RPing. 3nodding

So do I, and it's prolly more useful when you're memorizing it. (If you tend to miss minor details like me)

Problem is, though, some words get censored out when you try to define other insults or misc. blaugh But again, I think some words are just self explanatory depending on the situation.

You may be right, though I have heard a few that I never got the meaning of.

Like what? Maybe we can figure it out and add another definition to the list.

Well, the term 'orn' I've read in a few fanfics, and I never found the meaning of that one. *hasn't watched much G1, or whichever generation it was in*

After a bit of research, I found that the term 'orn' was used to describe a Cybertronian lunar day. Which moon they were using (apparently there are two) is unknown. I think this term did come up in the G1 cartoons, but don't quote me on it.
