Both are available for download here under the names "Ancient Autobot" and "Decepticon Regular."ĭoubtless Cybertronian split into two dialects due to the schism between Autobots and Decepticons. The Autobot Agoracer posted in Ancient Autobot, while the Decepticon Agoraptor posted in Decepticon. They retconed a canonical order to both languages, based on fonts created by Jim Sorenson in the late 1990s. There are also two versions of Cybertronian used in the AllSpark Wars Mini-ARG (Alternate Reality Game.) These are recycled versions of Ancient Autobot from " Cosmic Rust" and Decepticon from " Decepticon Graffiti!". It is also worth noting that this is the first time that Transformers are seen speaking their own language in any media. Note: The written version of Cybertronian appears now and again throughout the film, most obviously during Decepticon dialogue, where the subtitles are displayed in Cybertronian briefly before translating to English. Transformers: Ghosts of YesterdayĬybertronian languages appear to contain a lot of information in small fragments. The crew members of the vessel Ghost 1 thought that one could make out words if they had a degree in theoretical physics - and were tripping on bad acid. with the notable exception of Frenzy, who has a very staccato manner of speaking) when speaking among themselves on Earth, but have learned enough English to communicate with the humans when necessary. The Decepticons communicate in Cybertronian (which to human ears sound like a collection of vowel-intensive electronic noises and rumbles. Additionally, cometary forms are covered in Cybertronian "tribal markings". The All Spark was covered in Cybertronian glyphs, leading Sector Seven to conclude a connection between the All Spark and Megatron. Since it is the precursor to all life on Cybertron it stands to reason the first alphabet and syntax for the whole race is encoded on its sides. The writing on the All Spark itself should be given special consideration. (One theory is that they are simple function tags like "heat exhaust, crush danger and data pathway") Rather unique to this universe, several Transformers (notably Optimus Prime and Megatron) have Cybertronian words etched onto their heads, near the cheek area. Robots in Disguise cartoon Unicron Trilogy Transformers (2007)Įven with subtitles, it's still hard to understand what he's saying. Spike Witwicky learned to read Modern Autobot after only knowing the Transformers for a single day. ![]() ![]() In contrast, the language used by the Autobots when they first awoke in 1984 was easily learned. The controls of the Plasma Energy Chamber were labeled in Ancient Cybertronian, which Spike Witwicky did not recognize but Cerebros was able to read. ![]() Cosmic Rust This is later referred to as the language of the Primes. This was the probable precursor to modern Cybertronian dialects, probably as hard to read as Latin or Sumerian even to most modern Transformers (or at least the Decepticons) could not read it. Madman's ParadiseĪncient Autobot was the language used by the ancient Autobot colonists that fled Cybertron in the distant past. It rather resembles Egyptian hieroglyphs - possibly a nod to "ancient astronaut" theories. It can be seen upon the walls of the Quintesson dimensional transporter room. The first language used by the Transformers was likely the Quintesson language inherited from their former masters.
