Transwarp

Sandwiched between the universes that make up the multiverse, there is an expanse of nothingness that acts as a buffer between universes and dimensions. This interuniverssal/interdimensional space has many names—including unspace, overspace, underspace, infraspace, subspace, foldspace, and the bleed—but it is most famously known as transwarp space, since that name is often used for much of the technology built around exploiting its properties.

Transwarp space—or just "transwarp", and also spelled "Transwarp" or "TransWarp"—has become an integral component of many well-known Cybertronian technologies, even if its creators do not always understand the specifics, or even the fact that they are utilizing transwarp at all. Cybertronian radio allows broadcasts to span galaxies by beaming them through transwarp space, while personalized subspace storage pockets give Transformers the ability to store their weapons, and in some cases shunt their mass, outside realspace. While beings in the Skyriver galaxy utilize Hyperspace, and beings in the Milky Way galaxy use Slipspace, Cybertonians utilize Transwarp Space for FTL travel. The most famous use is surely the space bridge, which allows a traveller to traverse vast intergalactic distances almost instantaneously by means of a "short-cut" through transwarp space. As transwarp space exists beyond the laws of reality, it is even possible to travel through time itself by crossing it. The ultimate expression of the technology came with the development of the portable Transwarp Drive, powered by transwarp cells, which removed the need for a fixed departure/arrival location system and allowed whole vessels to independently voyage across time and space at will.
