Automorph Technology

Automorph is a term, used to describe a new feature of toys for the Transformers (2007) film. Based on how the movie transformations involve thousands of small moving parts, the idea is to recreate that visual style within the limited framework of a toy. Utilizing gears and other mechanisms, Automorphing moves multiple pieces of the toy when a single piece is moved. An example being the Voyager-Sized Ratchet toy's kneepads rotating foward as his feet are pulled out.

While the Automorphing term originated with the Movie toyline, many toys have previously had similar features, such as Energon Skyblast's head rotating to face the front when his chestpiece is turned right-side up.
