Just in case some of you (somehow) don't understand basic Cybertronian language / anatomy.. hErE YoU gO

Transformer anatomy:

Spark: equivalent to the human heart. Usually located in the centre of a Cybertronian's chest/chassis

Coolant/cooling liquid: liquid dispensed when overheating in an attempt to cool ones circuits to prevent system failure. Coolant is also often what Cybertronians are depicted to cry(Their tears)

Cooling fans: self explanatory

Bondmate: equivalent to Spark mate, but usually after interfacing has happened and spark bonding has been completed.

Spark bond: Once a femme and mech have bonded, they are able to share emotions and feelings through each others sparks. This also allows them to share thoughts and feel what the other is feeling. However, with practice, it is possible to learn how to shield ones feelings / thoughts from ones spark mate.

Spark Bonding can also add a slight power boost to both Cybertronian's as their sparks have practically become one, increasing their strength(This may not be cannon, but is used occasionally, as far as my knowledge goes)

Breast plate: female chassis/ metal that covers the (Protoform)breasts.
